Ostler Pet Lover

While my dog Joe used to be an indoor dog, he’s always had a fondness for chewing, and when he started gnawing on the furniture is when I decided he needed to spend more time outdoors.  Joe comes inside all the time, but he sleeps outside.  I wanted to make sure he was warm outside, so I bought him a dog house and also ensured he was up to date on his dog flea control.  We still bring Joe in the house on really cold nights, but with his dog house I think he’d still be warm enough outside.  I also want to make sure he doesn’t get fleas, so I clean out his dog house often and make sure he’s given adequate flea control.

Joe doesn’t seem to mind being an outdoor dog, in fact now that he has all kinds of sticks and trees to chew on all the time, he seems much happier.

For many people, pets are part of their family. Americans spend a lot of money on their pets, grooming them, buying them toys and even high-quality food. That is because their pets are often their source of companionship and love.

But sick pets can really drain the wallet. Veterinarian visits can cost as much as a person’s visit to his doctor. That is why some companies have already introduced pet health insurance plans, to help take the bite of out of a big financial crunch.

Their the vain of every dog owner,  Fleas, ticks, lice and mites and the list goes on and on, well you get the point.  Once your dog has fleas the rest of the house will too.  The real secret to ending your flea problem, is to use a dog flea contol product in the enviroment to stop all flea egg and lava to develop into adults.

They are a pain to get rid of them, so the best way to get rid of them is to keep our  dog from getting them in the first place.  Ideally you should apply a flea and tick replent recomended by your vet to your dogs coat monthly.
