Coyote Attacks on Small Pets are on the Rise

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- This summer has been especially bad for coyote attacks on pets across the country. Scientists believe that certain coyotes may be losing their fear of humans and pets because they are around them so much. Scientists also believe that a bounty of food and no natural predators are potential causes for the increase in attacks. Regardless of the reason for the increase, pet lovers are rightfully worried and are left wondering what to do. Kritter Kommunity Kondos are a great solution for keeping pets from roaming freely. By keeping your pet contained safely and supervised, you can greatly reduce the chance of many accidents associated with the dangers of the great outdoors.

Most recently, 4 roaming cats were killed by coyotes in a quiet Florida neighborhood. Shortly after this attack, 3 cats were taken by coyotes in Massachusetts. Coyotes have recently been spotted roaming New Yorkâs Central Park. A Chihuahua puppy in Colorado was taken by coyotes only to be saved by a neighborâs pit bull. And who can forget Daisy, Jessica Simpsonâs 5 year old maltipoo that was snatched by a coyote right in front of her eyes. The sheer horror of watching your pet hurt or injured is enough to make pet owners want to lock their pets inside forever.

Tarpaflex Help Aid the American Bird Conservancy

Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- A month ago, leading US tarp distributor Tarpaflex generously donated to the American Bird Conservancy in a bid to help preserve the wildlife surrounding the devastating Gulf oil spill. The same charity also has several projects based in South America, aiding fisherman who accidentally catch birds and turtles on their fishing lines. ABC is determined to reduce the threat and have enlisted the help of Tarpaflex to preserve the wildlife, including the endangered Waved Albatross, known for feeding in Ecuadorian waters.

ABC's South American partners Equilibrio Azul, a non-for-profit NGO based in Quito, Ecuador are now working together with the tarps donated by Tarpaflex in a bid to help preserve some of nature's most beautiful accomplishments, a spokesperson states that "We have limited resources and every bit of help is important to us. We use tarps for many of our projects and they are really useful. We use them to cover and protect our two boats, to protect sea turtle nests and nursing grounds, to create camping facilities for our volunteers who patrol the beaches every night, and for many other practical things. The tarps we can buy here are low quality and get destroyed really soon in the hard weather they are exposed to."

Foxy Fido Recognizes Doggie Fashion as a Growing Trend

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- Dog fashion and accessory lines are a growing trend with discriminating dog owners. While critics remain, more and more pet owners are beginning to dress their pooches for the weather along with just the sheer fashion opportunity of it. Just in time for the 6th annual Pet Fashion Week in New York City, Foxy Fido announces the Thursday, July 15th launch of a new online boutique specializing in fashion finds for the teacup to small-sized dog. To celebrate its grand opening, the Redondo Beach based company is offering free shipping to first time purchasers using coupon code GOFREESHIP.

Why dress your little dog? "It's a growing trend amongst conscientious dog-owners who are looking for good function, a bit of fashion, and some fun," says Foxy Fido owner, Faye Nagy. "Smaller dogs are more susceptible to changes in weather, so owners have begun looking for sweaters and coats for cooler days, cotton tanks or hats to prevent sunburn on hot days, and of course raincoats to keep their pets dry on rainy days. With the growing demand in pet clothing, strong styles and trends have begun to emerge - as seen by top designer lines coming down the "dog"walk during New York City's annual Pet Fashion Week. No longer just indoor companions, our dogs have become much more integrated into our day to day lives, joining us for outdoor activities, meals, and events. So it's only natural that we want them to look and feel their best."

The Brooklyn-based chocolate company donates all net profits to various animal rescue organizations.

âSpecifically weâll be supporting the New Hope arm of AC&C,â Gross said. âThatâs the non-profit program that links hundreds of pet rescue and adoption agencies which try to find permanent homes for the animals.â New Hope also offers low-cost microchips, free spay and neuter services, vaccinations, behavioral tests, and transportation for animals who are rescued from New York City shelters. The AC&C runs several other programs which match up with the mission of Rescue Chocolate. âI started my company not only to provide great-tasting chocolate but also to help the animals,â Gross noted. âAC&C has a Cage Comforters group of people who sew blankets to put in the cages to make the animals more comfortable. They have education programs, fostering programs, even summer employment opportunities for teens. Iâm really happy to be involved with them for the month of July.â

Do Sugar Gliders Make Good Pets

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- There are many things to take into consideration when trying to decide on getting a pet and what kind of pet works best for you and your lifestyle. Owning a pet brings several added responsibilities into your life. Feeding, grooming, walking, and attention are all things to consider before diving into being a pet owner. Pets are a lot more than a fashion accessory.

One animal that not a lot of people consider when choosing a pet is the sugar glider. Sugar gliders are considered an exotic pet but they are very social and tend to bond tightly to their owners. Glider owners often carry their pets in a pocket or bonding pouch, as well. That all sounds great but what, exactly, is a sugar glider? A glider is a marsupial. After birth, they are vulnerable and very dependent on their mothers. They spend most of their time inside their mother's pouch during this time.

Pet Stop of North Georgia offers professional servicing on all brands of invisible pet fencing including Invisible FenceÂ®, Dog WatchÂ®, Dog GuardÂ®, Pet SafeÂ® and Pet StopÂ® Brands. Mike Sinteff with Pet Stop of North Georgia says, "sales are up in May and June due to this value added service. Customers are trying to save money by repairing their systems instead of installing new systems. Mike continues, this has been a trend over the last two years as the new house market is poor and people are looking for ways to save money in a down economy."

Home owners of underground dog fences are finding a valuable resource in Pet Stop's 72 hour service guarantee. If you call Mike or Adam Sinteff they will be at your house with a solution for your invisible fencing needs in 72 hours or your repair is free. Needless to say Mike and Adam are busy all over the Atlanta and North Georgia area serving the needs of these new customers. Mike Adds, "Once these underground fences are installed it can be a challenge to find a service company who can come out and fix the problem, most service companies are averaging a week or more response time. This is frustrating to the pet owner and a danger to the dog who may be out wandering the neighborhood. Home owners who buy Pet SafeÂ® retail units from pet stores and home improvement stores and install them themselves run into a greater problem because they have no one to call for help. Since they installed the unit in their yard, they do not have a service professional to call. Pet Stop of North Georgia is finding an expanding customer base with these home owners.

Hundreds of Dancing Birds

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:20:00 -0200

(Reriani Communications) --- In the world of ornithology, it is thought that the bird in an act of 'anting' uses the formic acid of the ant to drive away ecto-parasites, or that it swallows the formic acid to kill internal parasites. Some have suggested that the object is to dress the feathers. So far as some observations go, not one of these theories will "hold water." To determine exactly where the ants were placed or rubbed, and, if possible, why, it was necessary to carry out a series of experiments, using four species of ants.

Because many of my birds were hand reared and exceedingly tame, it was possible to watch hundreds of performances at a distance of sixteen inches, sitting or lying beside the birds and even having them ant on an observers hand. But close as the observer was to the birds it was difficult to follow the movements. It was not only distracting to have so many birds performing at one time on a space of some four or five square feet, but the performance was so rapid that it was impossible for the human eye to follow the movements accurately.
