Is it Safe or Dangerous for Cats to Use Laser Pointers?

Are laser pointers harmful to felines? Do laser pointers cause nervousness in cats? Do laser pointers cause OCD in cats? are laser pointers bad for cats? When it comes to laser pointers with cats, people frequently have the following queries.

No, to each of the three inquiries. Laser pointers are not harmful to cats, do not induce anxiety or OCD, and should not be used as a toy for cats, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). While some cats could love using a laser pointer for play, others might find it to be excessively stimulating or upsetting. If you use a laser pointer and your cat gets extremely ecstatic or appears worried, you should stop using it.

No, cats do not suffer from laser pointer use. There is no proof in the scientific community that laser pointers cause OCD or anxiety in cats. However, it’s crucial to handle laser pointers with care. Avoid shining the pointer directly into your cat’s eyes as this could harm their eyes. Additionally, keep in mind that cats might quickly grow bored with laser pointers if they are used too frequently or for too long.

What Makes A Dog Harness Better Than A Collar?

What Makes A Dog Harness Better Than A Collar?

When you make a dog wear a leash, it can keep tugging hard on it. The first time a dog wears a leash, it will probably tug fiercely. The tension created by the tugging can choke the dog. To resolve this problem, you might be thinking of getting a harness for your dog. But is it the best solution? This blog will help you to decide. 

Harness as an accessory

The advantages of a harness are making it a favourable choice for pet parents. People are increasingly turning towards buying a dog harness instead of a collar. If you have adopted a puppy whom you want to train, you can use a harness to train it. When you use a harness as a training tool, you have better control over the most excited of puppies when out on a walk. 

A dog on a harness will find it difficult to pull you or jump on strangers. Your dog will also be safer as it will not choke. Furthermore, there are very minimal chances of the dog getting entangled in its leash. 

If your dog belongs to a delicate breed, you might fear that it will injure its neck when wearing … Read the rest

Wireless Pet Fences Are Safe And Will Give You Peace Of Mind

Wireless Pet Fences Are Safe And Will Give You Peace Of Mind

If you have pets without a regular fence, your dogs have likely ran away at some point. If your dogs are like my dogs, then they run away daily. If you live out in the middle of the nowhere, you have less worries. However, if you live close to the road, this can be a problem. The solution is a fence, but what kind of fence?

After weeks of doing research and debating the costs, I decide to get a pet fence installed. I did my research and found a local pet fence installer, the company had over 150 (5) star reviews on Google. They were based in Denver, Colorado, that pet fence company was Colorado Pet Fence. They had over 10+ years of pet fence installation experience, and after reaching out to a few people that left reviews, I was confident they could help.

You may not know this, but once our wireless pet fence was installed, Dale (the owner) trained the dogs for us and educated us about the pet fence rechargeable collars. It really was a great experience and I couldn’t recommend them more.

I worried for years, my dogs running in the road, … Read the rest

Choosing the Right Horse Jump Cups

Choosing the Right Horse Jump Cups

Jump cups are essential for certain equestrian competitors. There are some variations among jump cups for horses.

Cup Materials

Most of the jump cups that are available today are still manufactured using stainless steel. This has been the case for some time, and this fundamental design element hasn’t really changed today. Some of these cups will also have a coating that is made out of enamel.

There are also jump cups primarily made out of plastic on the market now. Some riders prefer this variety of jump cup. People might use different jump cups in preparation for shows, while other people will want to practice using the exact same models that they’ve been using all along for the sake of consistency. They should decide whether or not they want pins.

Jump Cup Pins

These cups used to be manufactured using pins, but there are alternatives to these kinds of jump cups today. The cups that do not have pins can be modified much more simply, giving riders and horse handlers many more options. It will be easier to change the jump’s elevation quickly with this jump cup model.

Horse Safety

Jump cups can be especially valuable regarding the health of

Our Review of Pebblina’s Reversible Dog Harness

Our Review of Pebblina’s Reversible Dog Harness

Having owned many dogs over the years, I was interested to check out dog harnesses, particularly the lovely designs by Pebblina. Their reversible dog harness looks fabulous, but I hesitated, simply because I have always used a collar and lead, and sometimes, a choker chain for my dogs. I had always thought that dog harnesses didn’t give you much control over your dog, which is why I always used a collar and lead or a choker chain. How wrong I was!

One problem with choker chains is that they choke your dogs! Some of my dogs just wouldn’t behave on their walks and kept pulling me forwards, which on many occasions, nearly caused me to fall over! However, the noise they made when they pulled against the choker chain really made my heart leap, but what could I do?

So, I reverted back to the collar and lead, but the collar would need to be tightened or she would easily slip out of it, and I didn’t like it being pulled so tight around her neck. For many years I just went between the two options of collar and choker chain, not knowing that there was another option.
