The newest trend for children of all ages is cyber pet. Through different sites that offer cyber pet, children can go online and choose their pet, feed him, send him to work, and earn points to buy things for their pet. It’s very similar to having you own pet, but without the mess and the extra expenses placed on the parents.

Cyber pet has many advantages, it teaches your children responsibility, it teaches social skills by interacting with other children, and they will learn how to navigate an online community and have fun doing it. Cyber pet, when used correctly, is a great learning tool for your children.

When I was a little girl, I wanted a unicorn for a pet. My mother tried to explain to me that I couldn’t have a unicorn as a pet, but I had a hard time understanding why that was. She gave me a unicorn stuffed animal and I loved her dearly, but I always wished she was real and that she could be my pet. I wanted to feed her and brush her long hair. I think many children at some point wish that they had a pet and their parents have turned them down.

Whatever the reason, if the pet they wanted, like my unicorn, didn’t exist or if the parents simply couldn’t get a pet at that time, children are still disappointed. That was until cyber pet came along. Unlike normal pet adoption, cyber pet adoption offers a very large variety of animals to choose from. They can adopt different breeds of dogs and cats, but they can also adopt a variety of monsters and fictional creatures. Cyber pet is allowing children to have the pet they want, even if they don’t really exist.

There are different websites for your child to register with and adopt a cyber pet. As a parent, it is important to research the different sites because some sites were made exclusively for children and have a high safety rating, while others have little to no rules at all. Also, some sites charge a small fee, while others are free of charge. Each child must have a parent to register for the site, but as soon as they are registered, they are free to play with their virtual pets for hours at a time. There are many things that your child can do with his new pet, and he is always there to play with them.

Virtual pets are much like real pets. They require your child to be responsible and remember to feed them and give them water. Cyber pets get sick as easily as normal pets and they will require your child’s attention and care in order to get better. This is an educational and fun way to teach your child responsibility.

Your child won’t even know that you are trying to teach them something, they are simply having fun and playing with their new pet. Along with caring for your pet, your child can also take quizzes and play games on the website and learn about their pet and how to take care of him. Cyber pet is wonderful for both the parent and the child because the parent can teach the child life lessons and values and the child gets his dream of having the pet of a lifetime.

Every pet owner should be prepared in case of emergency with a pet survival kit. These are essential for saving your loved pet in case of a natural disaster or any other type of emergency. You should not take for granted the fact that pets are able to manage on their own in a disaster. While many pets such as cats and dogs manage to protect themselves, from a certain point on, you should be prepared to assist them when a disaster occurs. There are several things you should think about including in a pet survival kit. You can choose to buy a complete homemade kit that generally includes scissors, pads and sterile gauze for wrapping injuries and eyedroppers for liquid medication. You need to add to this kit any other recommendation you may have from your veterinarian. A pet survival kit is also very useful for vacations. Here are some things that should not miss from it. An iodine-based disinfectant chlorhexidine, as these disinfectants have the advantage of being very effective against the majority of germs and do not sting. In case of injuries, make sure you have an adhesive type of bandage as well as sterile gauze and a pair of scissors to cut them. Another important thing is a digital electronic thermometer. Taking the temperature of a dog or cat is similar to the process of taking the temperature of babies, by introducing the metal probe of the thermometer in the entrance of the anus. The normal temperature of a dog or cat is between 38 and 38.5 C. The fact that the muzzle is hot or cold really does not tell you if the animal has a fever or not. Bring with you a pest control treatment (anti-fleas, ticks, sand flies) that you can choose in advance with your veterinarian. He will advise a suitable product according to the different parasites that are potentially present at your vacation destination. Do not forget to apply it on your pet preventively a few days before your departure. Repeat applications on site if necessary. You should also get some bags of Smecta if mild diarrhea occurs and Phosphalugel in case of vomiting. If your pet is sick or nervous during travel, grab a specific treatment on the advice of your veterinarian. Make sure you do not forget a collapsible travel bowl to rehydrate when needed. Above all, make sure you always have with you the telephone number of the regular veterinarian for your pet. Upon arrival at your vacation destination, find out the details for an emergency veterinary service.

Pet Obesity is a growing concern according to a report which ranks the healthiest U.S. cities for cats and dogs based on 30 criteria, including weight, preventative care, air quality and pet-friendly legislation. As in humans, pet obesity is dangerous and unhealthy. It can lead to liver disease, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, joint, and even back problems. People who love their pets dearly don’t realize that they could be actually slowly killing their pets by overfeeding them.

The biggest contributor to pet obesity is overeating. Most pets will eat whatever is put before them because it is their natural instinct. For example, dogs are natural scavengers that think every meal could be their last so they eat whenever food is offered to them. Many times dogs will eat even if they are not hungry because of this natural instinct. That is why it is important to feed your animals perfectly portioned meals which many automatic pet feeders can do for your animals.

Many pet owners will turn to more expensive options like special foods or even pills. The two biggest things that someone can do for their pet is get an automatic pet feeder so they can eat perfectly portioned timed meals, and also make their animal gets plenty of exercise. Those two things will help reduce weight for a pet, and they are less expensive than other alternatives.

Pet feeders generally range from $39.99 to $125.99 depending on the kind of feeder you need for your pets. There are feeders for cats and small dogs and also feeders for larger dogs. The important thing to look for with an automatic pet feeder is whether or not it has an electronic timer that will automatically provide food to your animals at a specified time each day. The goal is that no matter how busy your schedule is, your cat or dog will eat at the same time every single day. Some automatic pet feeders will provide 5 meals, others provide 6, and others provide up to 8 meals. With an 8 meal automatic pet feeder you can choose to feed your animals twice daily over a four day span for instance. Each time the food is released it will only release the exact amount each time.

Pet feeders provide multiple benefits including helping to combat pet obesity, giving pet owners a peace of mind that their pet is being fed at the right time even if they are running late, and they also are excellent for use while owners are away for a few days on vacation. It is highly recommended and encouraged that while pet owners are away that they still plan for someone to visit their animals while they are gone to check up on them and make sure everything is going well.

Pet obesity could end up killing your pets, so it is extremely important that you take action, and an automatic pet feeder allows you to take that action without breaking the bank.
