Do You Need Gifts for Cat Lovers?

June 10, 2022 by Puppydia

Choosing gifts for cat lovers can be a tricky thing. Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve really insulted a friend or family member by referring to them as a crazy cat person? well, the chances are that if you have you probably were not aware that you had upset them with what is a common term. So when choosing gifts for cat lovers its a good idea to think about what the gift will mean to them.

The type of Cat Owner

For many people owning cat is as simple as letting the cat in or out and petting food and water down for whenever the cat chooses to grace them with their presence. However for owners of pedigree cats such as a Bengal Cat it is much more of a lifestyle choice. Pedigree cats will be house cats that will go out on a lead, be groomed and often pampered by their owner or so than the average house hold cat. The relationship between owner and Bengal Cat can be very similar to that of a dog and its owner. A relationship of companionship.

So before you start finding random gifts for cat lovers, ask yourself these questions:

What is the relationship between the person and the Cat?

Does their cat mean more to them than the average cat owner? If this is the case then you know that choosing gifts for cat lovers that mean something rather than poking fun at them or something that could be taken the wrong way.

Do they wear Cat themed things?

If the answer is yes then the individual has a playful side to them that is proud to be seen as a cat lover so you will be pretty safe getting a novel item for them.

Choosing the right Gifts for Cat Lovers

Choosing to own a Bengal Cat as a pet can sometimes be as result of a devastating incident that has happened in someone’s life. In some cases this is very serious like when individuals are unable to have children for instance and look for comfort in their lives, something to fill the void. It is on occasions like this that treating an individual as being a ‘crazy cat person’ can be taken in an offensive way with the individual feeling inadequate or a failure. Its just worth knowing that and being thoughtful when choosing any gifts for cat lovers.

So, you’ve now got a good idea of the type of individual that you will be buying a gift for you come to the decision of getting a gift type. below are some suggestions:

Cat Gift Box

Filling a gift box or bag with a selection of cat treats and a few small toys is a one of the most effective gifts for cat lovers that you can give. Its a gift that does not break the bank in terms of expense allowing you to choose how much you would like to pay. Its also something that will keep a cat entertained for hours (plus the owner) and sure to bring a smile to the face.

Some items to consider for the cat gift box are; Cat-nip toys, balls of string, bags of yum yums, KONG Kickeroos, Skinneeez Mice.

There are pre packaged Cat gift boxes available from companies such as Cat Hampurr that can be given as a one off gift or over a 3 month subscription. In some cases you may get to tailor the contents of the box to suit the type of cat though these will cost more than making your own it offers a solution for those of you without the luxury of time.

Cat collar

Getting collars as gifts for cat lovers is a difficult one. Whilst the token is welcomed and there certainly are some beautiful Cat collars available some Bengal cat owners do not use collars for safety reasons. By nature cats are creatures that leap and like to adventure and investigate spaces and there is always the danger of becoming caught or entangled with a collar. And as Bengal Cats are perhaps more energetic than that of the average cat it increases the risk.

Cat Books

Cat books are always prefect gifts for cat lovers and always welcomed. From coffee table type picture books through to medical anatomy books there is always something to be discovered flickering through a book.

Puzzle toys

Bengal cats are wonderfully intelligent creatures and as such enjoy being kept entertained with curious games.

Cat jewelry

The key for a item of jewelry is getting a piece that is simple and elegant and stay away from anything too tacky as it could be taken the wrong way though the good intention is genuine.

A purrrfect gift

As you can see choosing gifts for cat lovers can be quite a straight forward process once you have an understanding what kind of Cat owner they are. Doing this will put you in good stead with getting a gift suitable for the individual be it simple cat gift bags, books through to cat themed jewelry.

My Dog Is So Matted – What Can I Do?

June 7, 2022 by Puppydia

I have been asked this question way too many times from people in Boca Raton who are looking to get their pets clean and free of mats. Here’s what I recommend:

First, if your pet has a lot of hair, then combing them out is probably not going to work. You need to use a vacuum cleaner or a brush that grabs the matting while pulling away the hair (like a wire brush).

Second, if your pet’s skin looks like they’ve had some sort of chemical burn, then you may want to consider using a professional dog groomer Boca Raton. This may involve shaving off the matting and removing any dead skin cells.

Third, if your pet has only a small amount of hair and no visible matting, then you can try brushing them yourself. If you’re lucky enough to have access to a carpeted area, then you can simply grab the back of their legs and start brushing outwards towards the center of the body.

Fourth, if you don’t have access to a carpet or anything else that could help remove the matting, then you might want to consider getting your pet professionally groomed.

There are a lot of tutorials and videos online where you’ll find out how to properly groom your pet without causing any damage.

Quiet Air Compressor

November 15, 2021 by Puppydia

One of the prominent factors to be considered before buying an air compressor is the noise it emits. This is more important for large scale compressors which are mostly used by professionals and industries. A quiet air compressor is something not to be confused with zero noise. It is an air compressor that offers low levels of noise. High levels of noise can be a serious problem for people working in workshops and at job sites.

The mechanism used to reduce the noise levels in an air compressor is to enclose the air tank in a sound proof shell, which reduces or eliminates the sounds from the compressor. Usually the best possible low noise levels in a quiet air compressor are in the range of 60 to 75 decibels. The cost factor is one of the important to be considered before going for quiet air compressors.

Even a small air compressor which has reduced noise level can cost a fortune. Most people buying quiet air compressors are the workshop owners, industrial job site owners, etc these are the places where the large air compressors or the stationary air compressors are used and these compressors emit high levels of sound, which cause a great deal of noise pollution.

With the ever growing noise pollution levels in industries, there is a chance to reduce the noise factor at least in few sectors, though it comes at a price, it has its own advantages. By using quiet air compressor, the workers at the job site can have a peaceful environment to work in, and this drastically enhances the productivity. Same is the scenario in a workshop, where the usage of quiet air compressor, lets the workers have a peace of mind while at work.

The standard or large scale air compressors usually are very pricey, and by adding a few more bucks, the industries can show to their employers working near these compressors, that they care for them, and in the long run, this has a very good and positive impact on the workers and build the employer and employee relationship.

Though the quiet air compressor costs a fortune, there are a lot of places where they can be used effectively and efficiently. By investing in them you are one of those noble souls who are playing their part to reduce the noise pollution to a certain extent.

Vegetarianism and Veganism

May 6, 2021 by Puppydia

Vegetarianism and veganism are quickly becoming more popular choices of diet for many people in North America. Some groups of people choose to change to these types of diets for moral or ethical reasons. These believe that the production and consumption of meats are not only cruel to the animals, but are doing great damage to our environment. Many more groups of people are choosing this lifestyle in order to improve their overall health.

A vegetarian or vegan diet has been proven to improve the health of our population. The biggest health benefit is that this way of life significantly reduces cholesterol levels. Meat, especially the red variety, contributes greatly to high cholesterol levels in human beings. Reduced cholesterol equals reduced risk of heart attack. A vegetarian diet also consists of less saturated fat often found in meats which leads to a lower chance of heart disease. There is a plant based meat – and meat alternative for vegans.

A diet consisting of mainly fruit and vegetables reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction and angina (all of which are common in older people) due to the fact that they are high in folic acid, carotenoids, dietary fibers, potassium, and flavonoids. A vegetarian diet has also shown to lower blood pressure due to lower sodium intake, to help with diabetes due to the high fiber and complex carbohydrates found in plant foods, and to help in the prevention of some types of cancer.

Dog Names Guide

April 17, 2021 by Puppydia

Choosing A Name For Your Dog

I have made this comprehensive database of the puppy dog names.

For ease of use I separate male and female names because you either have boy dog or girl dog.

My original goal was to collect as many dog names as possible.

After I had collected about 1000 dog names, I realized that I am adding more and more names that are very rare and in some cases even dumb.

I also realized that I don’t want you to read all those use rare puppy names.

Choosing A Name For Your Dog

Most likely, as 80/20 rule applies, 80% of dog owners would use only 20% of all dog names I’ve collected.

So I decided to change the approach.

Instead of showing you 10,000 dog names without any indication of which names are popular, I cut out 80% and left a little over 1,000 dog names. For example spanish dog names with meanings or Manga dog names.

So what is this new approach about?

Well, you have a good base of 1,000 both male and female dog names and even female dog names with meanings and now I let you to make your preferences.

In the very nearest feature I am adding new functionality to our website that will allow you, our precious dog owner, to submit your own name or vote for any existing name.

So my database becomes alive. Nothing is covered in stone, new names become popular and they’ll be in my database.

For example, after the movie “Matrix” the name Neo became extremely popular and if I had “stale” dog names database than I wouldn’t be able to catch the flowing of time.

Have fun choosing the best name for you puppy and please come later to vote for the dog names you like and leave the comments about them.

Living with Apartment Dogs

March 27, 2021 by Puppydia

dog living in apartment

Living in an apartment alone can be tricky on its own and sometimes it’s more convenient to have a friend or apartment dogs around. However, if you’re new to dog ownership, then there are a few things that you have to remember when you have a pet in your pad. A dog is a pet and it won’t understand regular regulations if you had bunked the place with another human being. Training dogs to live in a small space can become troublesome if you’re not familiar with the breed or the dog’s temperament.

It is advised that you take tips from the vet or the pet shops on how to handle your kind of apartment dogs. More often than not, you’ll have to train him by trial and error. Get to know your pet really well and make sure that you give the treats and punishments when you catch your in the act of doing something good or bad respectively. Dogs are very receptive to training while they’re still young, although some breeds tend to get very excited over a treat; they’re all trainable given the biggest amount of patience.

Aside from the training, living with a dog can be very therapeutic. Imagine coming home to your apartment where you’ll be greeted by your dog that is always happy to see you. Dogs can be very sympathetic and can tell if you’re happy or you’re sad and can always act accordingly. Forming bonds with your apartment dog is one of the greatest rewards of having him as a pet, even if it’s just in an apartment.

Remember, as much as it is a pleasure to have apartment dogs around, make sure to tend to their needs as well like taking them on walks and having their regular shots at the vet. These small tasks can give you and your dog a healthy relationship with each other as long as you’re together.

Choosing a perfect dog name

December 4, 2020 by Puppydia

Maybe you prefer to find clever dog names from the really old country. Some great Celtic dog names are Arturo (strong as a bear) for your big bear of a dog, Dughall (dark stranger) for the little black puppy you rescued, or Sloan (fighter) for your pit bull, although we know you’re not going to let him fight, right?

You can find clever dog names on television. From the weather channel you can find Storm, Snow, Hurricane, or how about Warning. Flip over to the classic movie channel and you might find an old Godzilla movie with characters such as Mothra, Rodan, or Ghidorah. On the next channel you might tune into a Star Trek show and see Kirk, Vash, Romulan, or a Vulcan. Or the most popular dog names such as the dog names from 101 Dalmatians. The choices are many.

November 14, 2020 by Puppydia

throwing up in dogs

If you’re a dog owner you’ve probably seen your pet throw up at least once or twice. Chances are you don’t know why your dog is throwing up though and probably find yourself asking “why does my dog throwing up?”

There could be a number of reasons: perhaps the dog ate something disagreeable, they’re coming down with something or maybe they have gastroesophageal (acid) reflux.

In order to prevent your dog from throwing up in the future:

  • Never change their diet unexpectedly
  • When changing a dog’s diet it needs to be a gradual process to prevent them from getting an upset stomach.
  • Don’t give them toys they could swallow
  • Don’t give them dog bones
  • Believe it or not, often times dog bones are the cause of them throwing up.
  • Make sure your dog isn’t digging through the trash
  • Always pay attention to what your dog may be eating.
  • Sometimes when out and about, a muzzle is suggested to ensure you dog doesn’t get into anything that could make them sick.

If your dog does throw up:

  • Remove any food that may be available to them
  • Check to see if they’re in shock or dehydrated
  • Do they have pale skin or gums?
  • Are they acting funny?
  • Have they collapsed or gone unconscious?

Dehydration can be spotted by lightly pulling the dog’s skin if it does not readily return to its original place your dog may be dehydrated. Xerostomia is another sign of dehydration, this is when the dog’s gums become dry and sticky, while the saliva becomes thick.

If the answer is yes to any of these seek vet attention immediately.
