Paws ‘n’ Claws Photo Guide – Trick #13 “It’ll be worth the wait.”

Permalink 06:16:23 pm, Categories: Meow!  

“Hello, I’m Magnum the Cat. I’m here to inform you that you still haven’t cleaned the outbox, but I’m getting used to it. Eddie the Dalmatian is here but doesn’t care about the outbox, although he looks a little sad. What’s up, Dot?”

I am a little sad.

“Don’t tell me our last trick is a sad one.”

I’m sad because it’s our last trick. It’s been so much fun and now it’s over.

“Not really, Eddie. You have your blog and I’m sure if you have anything else to teach you’ll announce it there.”

I suppose I could do that.

Anyway, I should get to today’s trick. It’s a reminder to be patient when taking photos of your pets. You have to remember we weren’t trained for any of this and although we trust you and love you, we don’t always get what the big deal is about taking our photos all the time. We also don’t know what you consider the perfect photo when all we want to do it play or sleep.

So remember to give us a break. If you take it slow with us, we promise you will eventually get the photo you were looking for.

“Thanks, Eddie. Some of us need to get slowly used to the idea of that clicking thing in your hands, but we will get used to it after a while.”

Well, that’s it. We’ve taught you all the tricks we had to taking better pet photos. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we enjoyed teaching them to you. We also hope you’ve been able to practice and use some of them already.

You can always drop me a line at eddie@frameyourpets.com to let me know how you are doing. Magnum, Yogi and the Humans (George and Brenda) also get the odd e-mail there as well.

Magnum mentioned my blog earlier. It’s located at: http://frameyourpets.blogspot.com/ and I try to add to it whenever I can. I’ve posted photos of all of us at Frame Your Pets along with some photos sent to us by people just like you! The blog let’s you send us comments and share other interesting things with us.

Thank you so very much for your support from all of us at Frame Your Pets!

Teach children proper hygiene around animals

Permalink 12:07:40 pm, Categories: Meow!  

Pet Care Tips:
(NC)—Pets bring a lot of joy, love and excitement into a household. However, pets may carry infections that could be harmful to you and your child. Transmission of infection may occur through contact with pets, their feces, bites, scratches, licking of open wounds and tick/flea bites. Infants and children younger than 5 years of age as well as pregnant women have a higher risk of getting sick from pets.

“While pets such as dogs, cats and birds can transmit infection, it is unlikely that you or your child will get sick from touching these animals. Some infections caused by pets are common, such as salmonellosis, roundworm and hookworm infections, and cat scratch disease, while others like plague are rare,” says Dr. Colette Pienaar of LifeLabs.

LifeLabs conducts more than 50 million, physician-requested diagnostic tests on more than 10 million Canadians every year, so this laboratory is in a prime position to identify various health trends, including infections caused by pets.

“The best defence against transmission of infections by pets is hand washing,” Dr. Pienaar emphasizes.

Other LifeLabs tips to prevent infection in you and your child include:
• Teach children to wash their hands well with soap and running water after handling pets, their feces and pet chews.
• Supervise children younger than 5 years old while they are playing with pets.
• Keep your pet(s) healthy to ensure the health of your family, by keeping up to date with vaccinations, deworming, tick and flea control as well as regular visits to the vet.
• Teach children not to kiss or share food with their pet.
• Teach children not to play rough with their pets to prevent bites and scratches. If bitten or scratched, immediately clean the affected area with soap and water.
• Keep children away from dog and cat feces, indoors and outdoors. Litter trays should be placed where your kids do not play.
• If older children are responsible for cleaning litter boxes, teach them to wear gloves while cleaning up, and to wash their hands afterwards.
• Help your pet stay clean. Remove dirt from their paws and fur. Teach your child how to bath and groom their pet regularly.
• Keep children’s sandboxes covered and teach your children not to eat dirt so as to avoid potential contact with animal feces.

Toronto, Ontario Monday, August 31st 2009 Eco Pet Solutions, Inc. the makers of Potty Park, the world’s finest dog potty, announced they are ready to take on the American marketplace. After successfully placing three Potty Park’s in the nations number one house, Eco Pet Solutions, Inc. has decided it’s time for Potty Park to be in all canine households.

“We are very excited to be entering the American marketplace as we’ve been doing tremendously well in the U.S. via our website. It was a logical progression to place the Potty Park in retail locations. We are currently seeking U.S. distributors, brokers and those interested in growing our business.” said Jude Hudson, President of Eco Pet Solutions, Inc.

Potty Park is a revolutionary new product for dogs that allows them to relieve themselves 100% independently.

Potty Park is the permanent solution to house training a dog. No matter where you live, a condominium, townhouse or even on a boat, with Potty Park your furry best friend will never be without a piece of the park when they most need it.

Never again will your dog be discomforted by relieving themselves around your schedule. Dogs can now go anytime, anywhere and floors will remain clean and odors free.

“The product line will be of tremendous value to dog owners and pet industry professionals alike. This is a product born of necessity that dog owners have been in need of for years,” said Ed Herbert, Vice President of Sales for Eco Pet Solutions, Inc.

“Potty Park is a revolutionary cutting edge product far superior to anything in the marketplace,” added Jude Hudson, President of Eco Pet Solutions, Inc. “We’ve been doing very well with the line here in Canada and expect tremendous sales of the product in the United States.”

With more and more dog owners living in condominiums, apartments and living more active/less scheduled lifestyles, finding a place for your dog to ‘go’ has become a serious issue. Potty Park solves the age old problem of “when it’s time to go and there’s nowhere to go.”

Until now, pet owners have had no option but to face stained floors, behavioral problems, negative health issues from lack of proper hydration/urination, ineffective and unsightly pee pads, and unavailability of pet ownership.

With the introduction of the Potty Park, Eco Pet Solutions, Inc. not only solves the problem of where to go, they also increase the health and comfort levels of dogs and owners alike!

Permalink 03:39:48 pm, Categories: Meow!  

Hey, it’s Eddie the Dalmatian smiling at you from your e-mail inbox with another trick you can learn to start taking better pet photos, today!

I’ve got Magnum the Cat here with me and together we’re going to teach you our next to last trick. Isn’t that right, Magnum?

“You are correct, my silly spotted friend.”

So, Magnum, I’ve got to say having you assist me the past few days has been a lot of fun, and it really made this job a whole lot easier for me. I’m not normally very good with strangers, but with you here with me it’s helped a lot.

“No doubt it’s lightened your load.”

Exactly, which brings me to today’s trick. When taking your pet’s photo, try to have someone there with you. The extra Human can help you in many ways doing everything from holding your camera while you brush your pet, or feed your pet treats while you check your camera settings, to just being there to calm us down while you stress out about your next shot.

“Eddie knows what he’s talking about. Sometimes I need to see someone else nearby to distract me from the Human with the camera. I’ve also noticed that the extra Human can also run errands for the Human with the camera and it all seems to work.”

So today’s trick is simple. A little help can go a long way in getting that great photo of your pet.

Our last trick will be sitting in your inbox in a few days, which will give you some time to practice today’s trick.

Proper nutrition keeps pets smiling

Permalink 04:27:22 pm, Categories: Meow!  

(NC)—A fresh smile is a healthy smile. Although we try our best to take care of ourselves by exercising and eating well, we sometimes forget to do the same for a very important member of our family… our beloved pet.

That’s why the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, is ensuring pet owners learn the link between proper nutrition and oral health. The food you feed your pet can contribute to the development of plaque and tartar, which increases the likelihood of developing periodontal disease.

Owners often think their pets’ bad breath is normal, yet it may be a sign of periodontal disease caused by harmful bacteria. When bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up on pet’s teeth, they can cause infections, tooth loss and the bacteria can spread through the blood stream via inflamed-gums affecting internal organs like the heart, liver and kidneys.

“Recent research highlights the connection between oral health and overall systemic health,” says Dr. Clayton MacKay, DVM, director of veterinary affairs, Hill’s Pet Nutrition Canada. “As a veterinarian, I have seen first hand the importance of nutrition and how it can help a dog or cat maintain good oral health. Feeding proper nutrition to your pet is the single most important thing you can do for your pets’ overall health.”

Feeding your pet specially formulated food that is clinically proven to reduce gingivitis will help prevent harmful bacteria. Owners need to look for products containing the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal, which ensures they meet pre-set standards for plaque and tartar control in cats and dogs.
