Planning a Successful & Fun Camping Trip with Fido

Camping is an activity that many find fascinating and full of nature. It offers an opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the urban centers and just relax your mind and body while enjoying fresh air and beautiful scenery. If you are a dog lover, you have the chance to take your camping experience a notch higher by taking it with you. If you have never taken your dog with you to a camp before, you should be ready as you now have to care for two. By that I mean, your dog and yourself. Camping with your Snoopy not only helps you relax but also helps you grow a stronger bond. Furthermore, it is not that expensive, so there is absolutely no good reason to leave your dog at home. Below are a few tips to ensure that you are ready and also help you make the most out of the camping trip.

Ensure Your Dog Is Fit and The Campsite Is Pet-Friendly

Whether it’s just by the lakeside, miles away from your home or deep in the forest, dogs love the outdoors, and there is no better way to keep them happy than taking them with you to whatever destination you choose. Unfortunately, not all camping areas allow dogs. So don’t just pack and go blindly, ensure you consult with the management of whichever destination you select on their regulations regarding pets. Also, it is important that you take Scooby Doo to the vet for a health check-up. That will ensure that he gets all the vaccinations required and treatment against any possible diseases which he may contract during the trip. If you give a blind eye to these valuable tips, you might end up returning home even before the camp begins.

Training

The second tip to having a successful camping trip with your dogs is to make sure he/she is obedient. Most of the camping time is spent outdoors which means, your dog is more hyperactive. He will try to run at the sight of birds, squirrels or anything else which he encounters in the wild. Without the right commands, it will be hell on earth. Therefore, ensure that your dog is familiar with all the controls. Also, it is a good idea to keep it on a dog leash with LED lights at all times. That will go a long way in making sure that he is always within your sight and will also keep you in total control. Either way, train your dog before you leave to make certain that whenever you tell him to sit, come, down, leave it or any other command, he will know what he is supposed to do. Keep Fido close to you at all times and when he is not on the lighted dog leash, have a flashing dog collar around his neck to spot him easily.

Packing

Now, this is an essential part of camping. It is important to know your camping gear is different from that of your doggie. Assemble the right food measurements for all the days you will be there, and a collapsible pet travel bowl, first aid kit, the essential grooming tools, and many other items. Also, don’t forget to pack a lighted dog collar. It comes in handy when you want to free it from the LED dog leash. It assists you to spot it quickly whenever it’s dark so always make sure you carry it with you to make the trip even more fun. A dog travel bowl helps when you need to save on space. Therefore, if you have two dogs, these will save you a packing headache and one more thing, ensure you have lots of water especially if your dog is the weighty type of breed which tends to get tired easily such as bulldogs.

Do Not Over Feed Your Dogs

To many people, camping means a time just to eat, hike, bike and more eating. Reason being they have a lot of time on their hands. However, when you take your dogs with you, the eating part should change. If you overfeed them then be ready to deal with a night full of bad gas. Also, they will poop too much. Hence feed them moderately to avoid this.

Other Tips

Finally, you should always be prepared for emergencies, especially if you are camping and hiking with your dog. Here are a few things to remember…just in case:

• Carry many towels
• Emergency medicine
• Always keep your phone ready in case of emergencies
• Ensure that someone knows where you are planning to go and when you should be arriving back

Keeping Your Vehicle Clean While Traveling with Pets Traveling

Traveling is an exciting adventure to undertake. It is an exciting way to see the outdoors and familiarize yourself with different places and people. You get to experience nature and view scenic areas. Road trips are a recommended way to travel because you get to explore an unfamiliar area in the safety and convenience of your car. For other people even, driving around town counts as an adventure to get acquainted with where you reside.

For pet lovers and owner, traveling with them is usually a necessity and most times you have to factor them in when you are planning a trip. Most animals like cats and dogs need training on how to behave while in a moving car and most times they end up damaging the vehicle when they become excitable or scared. Keeping the vehicle clean with pets on board is a challenge seeing as they scratch the seats, leave fur everywhere and may even vomit on the seats, or worse, use them as a temporary litter. It can become a costly affair to always repair the seats after traveling with your pet especially if the seats are high-end leather which is very expensive to replace and may take time to order it in, rendering your car unusable until adequately replaced.

Preventive Solutions

If you do choose to travel with your pet, here are a few ways to make certain that your car is neat, tidy and in one piece after the expedition.

1. Seclude them to one area.

When traveling with a dog, keep it on one side of the vehicle, either through restraints or using a crate or pet carrier. When they shed or make a mess, it will happen on where there are seated and not in the whole car, making it easy to clean.

2. Plan ahead.

If you know that you will be moving around with your pets, it is good to factor that in when you are purchasing a vehicle. Buy a big enough car and one that is animal friendly.

3. Preparation.

Dogs need to be trained on how to behave in a moving car. Before taking them on long trips, start with short ones like running errands with the dog in the vehicle to know what to expect and for the dog to familiarize itself and be comfortable while traveling. Also, train them not to scratch the car seats.

4. Clean up.

When a mess is made, or there is fur everywhere, it is best to clean up immediately to lessen the damage that may occur. It is necessary to have to cleaning kit in the vehicle for the convenience of cleaning fast. Have towels on the ready, plastic bags and wipes available for use.

5. Use one car.

If you are fortunate enough to have the luxury of owning more than one vehicle, pick one car dedicated to carrying your dog and stick to it. It will also be easier to clean one car instead of two.

6. Seat covers.

A seat cover is the most important item to have in the car and without it; all the above measures will be rendered null and void. Since pets are often kept at the back seat, it is vital to have protective rear seat covers. Pet car seat covers come in handy here. They should be comfortable to transport the animal and also protect your seats.

What to look for when looking for the best dog car seat covers for traveling:

1. Durability

Dog seat covers should be able to withstand biting and scratching from the animal. They should also be able to withstand cleaning without getting damaged.

2. Waterproof

It is fundamental for the seat covers to be waterproof, more so the back seat bench covers where pets usually travel as this will help in cleaning them and will increase the longevity of the seats. The waterproof feature is also important if your seats are made of leather because it gets ruined quickly the more it’s exposed to water.

3. Stain resistant.

Pet car seat covers should be resistant to stains. When stains don’t stick to the material, cleaning them out becomes easy and quick. Stain resistance increases the durability of the seat covers and the car seats.

All in all, traveling with pets can be messy, but if you take the time to prepare for unpredictable messes, you can prevent expensive repairs or cleaning on your vehicle.

Lighted Dog Collars Help Reduce Risks at Night

If you live in an area where the sun goes down before the end of the work day, or you like to take your dog for late evening walks or just allow it to run free in the night, there is always the risk that it can get run over by a car because it cannot be seen. To reduce that risk, it is important that you make it as visible as possible. A lighted dog collar that can be seen in the dark is a good option, when the light from a car hits it, it will reflect and the driver will know your best friend is on the road. The main reason to have a lighted dog collar and a lighted dog leash is for its safety but other reasons to have one include:

• Makes your pet visible to pedestrians during evening walks
• Helps you trace it easier in the dark
• Great when hiking or camping
• Motorists are able to see your pet sooner

There are two types of lighted dog collars and leashes, there are LED and reflective products.

LED Dog Collars and Leashes

The Yippr LED lighted dog collars and leashes have their own light and do not need to reflect light from a vehicle. They have lights powered by LED technology with battery operated lights and can either stay in a solid mode and also have flashing modes. Some other features include:

• Operated by battery
• Batteries are USB rechargeable
• The lights are bright but not blinding
• 360-degree visibility
• Lights stay cool to the touch
• Weatherproof

Reflective Dog Collars and Leashes

Reflective dog collars and leashes are made from material that reflect light and usually in colors that are luminous so they can attract attention. They do not need any type of power supply.

Key features include:

• Usually made with neon or bright colors that reflect lights
• Water-resistant
• Easy to clean, machine washable

LED vs Reflective Collars and Leashes

The main difference between the two is that the LED collars and leashes are much brighter than the reflective ones, this is mainly because they produce their own light while the reflective ones need light to shine on them for you to see them. It is really hard to miss those lights. In some cases, you may find that you do not see the reflective dog collar for example if you are a pedestrian walking along a dark road without any lights. The LED are visible at all times because they produce their own lights.

LED collars and leashes may need to be recharged from time to time while the reflective ones are always ready to go. If for example you are going on a long camping trip, you may find that the LED collar may run out of battery and you have nowhere to charge them while the reflective ones can always reflect light as long as it is there. However, these days there are the ones that can glow so they also do not need charging.

In terms of expense, you would spend more on LED dog collars and leashes since there is more technology used than in the reflective ones but do not be surprised if you also find a more expensive reflective one of superior quality.

Finally, LED dog collars and leashes are more appealing for the safety of your dog since they are more visible even in very dark places like a forest. You however need to be ready to recharge them or else they will become useless once the battery runs out. The reflective leashes come in handy in areas where there may be no way of charging and if you are trying to save money.

Save on Car Rental Fees Using Pet Seat Covers

Traveling with Pets Can Be Messy!

If you are like my family, you have pets, and enjoy traveling with your pets. For us that pet is a 200-pound Rottweiler named Spartacus. Often times when we travel, this requires renting a car or SUV. For us, once or twice, that also meant having to pay an additional clean up fee, because our big guy left behind some hair. Fortunately, this hasn’t happened in quite a while, because we learned about pet car seat covers.

Pet seat covers are life savers! We now even use them in our own personal vehicles. The way our cover works, is that you would first attach two straps around the headrest of the seat you want to cover, then pull through your seat belt buckles and secure it to the front and side of the seat. Our primary use for the cover is not just the extra fur that may be left behind, but our guy drools…a lot. These car seat covers for dogs literally save your car. They are durable enough to stand up to even the sharpest of claws, water resistant, dust and odor proof. Most come in a variety of colors including both grey and black. In addition to this, the pet seat covers are machine washable, but also easy to just wipe clean with a damp rag.

Whether you are out for a day on the lake, or a day of hiking, these covers can hold up to it all. There are also covers available at Yippr.com in a “hammock” style, which attach to both the front and back seat headrests. These are beneficial because not only do they cover your seats, they also protect your floors from accidents and spills, all the while keeping Fido safe in the back seat. Most covers are made from either polyester or heavy grade fabrics that have been pre-treated to prevent odor absorption, and liquids. Before we bought our seat cover, we had to try and remember to grab our pup’s shoes before we left on rainy days, not something you always remember, so a lot of detailing has been done.

Now, back to the whole rental car cleaning fees for anything that your pet leaves behind. The last time we had to use a rental, we ended up with a $100 cleaning fee. Now imagine if this happened every time we traveled, it adds up fast. Luckily, our seat cover is quickly removed from my car, wiped down really well, and then folded and placed into either my personal bag, or in a small bag of its own along with his favorite toys and treats. Regardless, the pet car seat cover has saved me a ton of money. Most can be bought for next to nothing, while some can be quite expensive. Like anything these days, it all depends on where you buy it, what the fabric is made of, and how large you want it to be. Personally, we drive a 2012 Kia Soul, and a Ford Explorer, yet only need the one cover because it works perfectly in both vehicles. I really hope you will consider your own pet car seat cover so that your pet is able to continue riding with his or her humans and enjoying their lives.

How to Properly Clean a Dog Collar and Leash

A fresh-smelling well-groomed dog is every pet owner’s pride. Nothing can ruin shiny hair, clean teeth and nicely trimmed nails than a stinky collar! Regular cleaning of dog collars and leashes is essential for our best friend’s own protection.

A dog collar tends to get really dirty with the buildup of dust, debris, and skin oils, while a dog leash is prone to getting get accidentally stepped or peed on. You can only imagine the germs and bacteria contained in these daily wear, which altogether create a sanctuary for parasites such as fleas. Dogs will not be comfortable with a disgusting or worn out collar on their neck!

Proper maintenance goes a long way. Just as how their human masters’ clothing is kept fresh and clean, a clean dog dollar adds to the look good-feel good factor that keeps your pet happy. It gives you peace of mind that the collar or leash will not easily break while you are enjoying the outdoors. In case your dog gets lost, a well-cared for pet ID collar will stay intact for identification.

Whether you got your dog the cloth type nylon or leather collar, knowing how to appropriately care for the material is key to a long-lasting accessory.

How to Clean a Nylon Dog Collar and Leash

Nylon collars arrive in tons of attractive colors to suit your pup’s personality. The best way to clean this type of dog collar is by hand. Select only pet-friendly soaps, preferably all-natural products, since those made for humans have entirely different pH levels. Any residue left by harsh chemical-laden soaps can cause irritation and incessant scratching.

Cleaning with water and mild soap for sensitive skin will keep the dog collar vibrant and increase its resistance to wear and tear. To deal with stubborn dirt, remove the collar’s ID tag. Soak for 30 minutes in a 1:1 water and vinegar solution with 1 tsp salt. Rinse with cold water and lay the collar and leash flat to air dry.

You can opt to machine wash cloth collars and nylon leashes. Similarly, use milder cleaning agents. Put inside a mesh laundry bag first then do it on a gentle-cycle. Do not put in the dryer, since high heat can break down nylon collar fibers quickly. Once dry, you may want to apply flea and tick powder for prevention.

How to Clean a Leather Dog Collar and Leash

Leather collars are crafted with more expensive material that requires unique care and attention. Like any other leather material, it is best kept away from water and moisture to inhibit mold and mildew growth. Even without getting wet, accumulation of oil from your pet’s fur and skin can degrade a leather collar over time.

Cleaning a leather dog collar and leash is not complicated. You just need to keep a few things in mind. Chemicals not made for leather material and drying under the sun can do more harm than good! Use only specially-formulated, pH balanced, non-toxic leather cleaners to clear away mud and dirt. Simply spray onto your pet’s collar and leash then work your way with a sponge.

Leave the leather collar to dry some place cool and with ample ventilation. Once thoroughly dry, apply leather cream to condition and waterproof your pet’s collar and leather leash for worry-free everyday use.

Keeping Your Dog Car Seat Cover Clean

Dog owners love their furry friends, and though we enjoy their company, one cannot deny the fact that dogs tend to shed a lot. When dogs go for a car ride, their fur sticks to the seats and floor mats quite heavily, depending on the type of dog you have and whether or not your car has leather or cloth interior. Either way, using a hammock dog car seat cover is beneficial for dog owners as it protects the car seats from dirt, hair, odors, and paw prints. Regardless of whether your car seats are leather or cloth because dog hair and dirt can find a way to stick to any surface and it can be a difficult task to remove it. In addition to keeping hair, dirt, and odors at bay, dog car seat covers are perfect for protecting your car seats. Dogs can get excited in the car and sometimes accidents happen where they might tear a seat with their paws or teeth. Therefore, dog seat covers work to shield your car seats from tearing or biting caused by your dog. Try to find a dog car seat cover that is durable, easy to clean, simple to put on and take off, and is waterproof. Car seat covers for dogs will keep your seats in pristine condition while letting your pet have all the fun it wants in the backseat, allowing you to drive with confidence.

Keeping Odors at Bay

Luckily, most dog car seat covers are machine washable for convenience sake. There are several ways you can clean your car seat covers to remove any residue or odors. First of all, it is important to note that if you are using a washing machine to clean it, a simple rule to follow is to wash it on a gentle cycle and following with the recommended hang to dry method. When it comes to treatment, try washing the cover in cold or warm water with regular detergent, and add in a ½ cup of vinegar in the softener dispenser. If the odor is strong, increase the vinegar to 1 cup and repeat wash if needed until the odor is neutralized. It is important to wash the car seat cover regularly to ensure keeping odor at bay. An alternative treatment is adding Borax to your washing machine with white vinegar to cut the dog smell out of your car seat cover. Lastly, a deep wash solution to try is throwing the car seat cover in the washer with ½ cup of Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda and ½ cup of white vinegar. Add these ingredients along with regular detergent and wash on a warm water wash cycle. You do not want to use bleach or another other chemicals that will harm the materials and/or remove the color.

Drying the Pet Seat Cover

Once you have successfully removed dirt, odor, and hair from your dog car seat cover, it is time to effectively dry it. Drying the cover is just as important as washing it because you want to ensure an effective dry that leaves it smelling fresh and clean. A couple ways to effectively dry the car seat cover is by drying it in the dryer on low or even no heat with a dryer sheet or hanging it outside to air dry (make sure it is not a damp day).

Car seat covers for dogs are easy to use, fairly simple to clean, and protects your vehicle’s seats from your dog’s hair, dirt, and odor. Most of the car seat covers have a hammock style so it protects not only your back seats but also the front ones too. You can purchase one for a reasonable price at Yippr.com and it is an investment that should last a long time.

Guideline To Choosing a Dog Collar

Dog collars are essential accessories for a canine pet. This type of product provides a place to secure identity tags or a RFID chip. If the dog goes missing or gets lost, you will be found with ease and reunited with your companion. Collars are also perfect for securing the dog to a leash during walks. Also, these some of these accessories, such as luxury leather dog collars can serve as a fashion statement. If you are thinking about purchasing a dog collar for the first time, you might find the selection process challenging. Therefore, consider these simple guidelines when choosing the perfect collar for your furry friend.

Consider the Collar Style

When choosing a dog collar, you should start by identifying an appropriate style for the product. There are numerous collar styles in the market which are designed for daily use and others fabricated for special purposes such as light up dog collars for outdoor walking at night. The main styles of dog collars to consider include:

Traditional Buckle Collar

As implied, the traditional collar is the standard type that you will find just about anywhere, including general stores. This form of accessory consists of a flat and unembellished neck collar. In most cases, this is secured using a buckle which allows adjustment. This style is ideal if you are looking for a collar for everyday use because it is comfortable and hard to remove.

Breakaway Collar

The breakaway or quick release dog collar is a suitable choice for canine pets which often get in trouble. This flat collar is similar to the traditional type in design. However, the buckle area has a mechanism which is operates using pressure. If the dog is ever in a difficult situation, the collar will release when the pet pulls hard enough.

Martingale Collar

A martingale collar is designed and fabricated to have one large ring for the neck and a smaller one for the leash. The style allows the collar to tighten around the pet’s neck to tighten if the dog pulls away from the leash. The collar is perfect for training purposes; it will prevent the dog from running in the future when you are outdoors. There are other alternative dog collar styles, including center ring collar, dog harness, halter-type collars and chain-slip collars. You should explore the market for these unique collars if you are not interested in the standard options.

Select the Right Material

The dog collar material will determine the performance, durability, and ease of maintenance of the product after purchase. Also, different products have unique price tags, comfort levels, and appearance, depending on their construction. The main materials that you can choose are nylon and leather.

Nylon Collars

Nylon dog collars are common in the modern pet market because they are inexpensive to purchase. The fabric is also pliable, which means that dogs with sensitive coats will be more comfortable. Additionally, there are numerous options regarding colors and designs. On the other hand, nylon collars are not extremely durable.

Leather Collars

Leather is a durable material which will provide long-term service. This option is the traditional choice for dog collars because of the elegant and classic appearance. Most high-quality products are pliable which ensures the dog’s comfort. Unfortunately, leather is a little expensive, and it requires proper maintenance for long-term performance.

Identify the Right Collar Size

You should choose the right collar size for your dog to ensure optimal comfort and security. In general, the best way to determine the right fit is through measurements. Acquire a cloth measuring tape and use it to figure out the circumference of the dog’s neck. If you have a small dog, add an extra inch and for bigger dogs add two inches. This allowance will prevent too much tightness and discomfort.

Personalize the Collar

After purchasing a dog collar, you should customize it for identity purposes and visual appeal. You can attach some tags or have your specialty pet accessory dealer emboss, engrave or embroider relevant information.

Which Leash is Best for Your Dog?

Having a good dog leash is important since it will help you keep your pet under control. It is important to have the right length, material, and size to ensure your comfort as well as the dogs. The leash will ensure that your dog does not wander off and cause trouble while you walk on the street and it is also needed when you are training it to be obedient. Dog trainers usually recommend that you start using a leash from the time a dog is a puppy.

Types of Leashes

There are many types of leashes out there but we shall focus on the more common and best-preferred types.

Leather Leash

These are quite durable and they have a stylish look but with the style comes a higher price. A leather dog leash is likely to last the entire life of your pet though some dogs tend to chew on their leashes and with time you may find it looks old and you may decide to replace it. Many people highly recommend leather leashes from Yippr.com because they seem to soften with time and adapt to your grip which makes them comfortable.

Nylon Leash

If you cannot afford a leather leash, then you can settle for nylon since it is also quite strong and durable but at a cheaper cost. Also, nylon comes in a number of colors so if you are particular about colors you may like it. But you should know that they can fray over time.

Chain Leash

This is the solution to a dog that keeps on chewing on their leash. Not so many people like chain leashes because they can be heavy and they make noise. You may need to take into consideration the strength of your dog if you choose a chain.

Lighted Leash

If you like to walk your dog in the night in an area that has traffic passing close by, then you can consider a lighted dog leash. This reflects light so that your dog can be seen and you avoid accidents. They are also easier to find. They may come with different materials and the lighting or reflectors are simply added to it.

Retractable Leash

In some situations, you may wish to give your dog more freedom without you having to be pulled in the direction it goes. A retractable leash gives the dog more slack as it pulls away but you can then retract it if you need to keep it on a shorter leash. Some dog trainers will discourage using this on young dogs because it teaches them that pulling on the leash is a good thing so the dog never really learns to be calm when on a leash.

Seat Belt Leash

These are short  leashes designed to clip into the seat belt to keep the dog from climbing around in the car as you drive. In most cases, you will use it on the back seat with a pet car seat cover.

Multiple Dog Leash

If you have to walk a number of dogs at a go, then this is the leash you can use. It has more than one leash connected to the handle which means you can control all the dogs you are walking with just one hand.

Martingale Leash

This leash is designed to tighten around the dog’s neck if it pulls too hard. It is meant to teach the dog not to pull on the leash. You do not have to worry though that it may strangle the dog because it tightens just to cause discomfort.

What Length is Best?

The 6-foot leash is normally the best-recommended length since it provides a reasonable amount of freedom for the dog but also does not let it wander off too far. If however you are in a busy area and you need to keep the dog from tripping people with the leash or getting entangled around poles, then a 4-foot leash would be appropriate.

If you are training a dog, you may need a longer leash and that is when you can opt for an 8 or 10-foot leash. This helps you to teach the dog to obey commands from a reasonable distance while you still have some connection with it.

If you want a much longer leash then you can opt for a 50 to 100 feet leash these can be used for training or if you have a large yard and want to give the dog freedom to run around but not leave the home.

Other Considerations

When making a choice, you will need to consider how you will be using the leash. Leather and nylon are the most preferred leashes but depending on your need, you may choose other materials. It is also important that you look at the clip that connects the leash to the collar, you will want one that is easy to attach and remove but does not come off when the dog pulls on it. Nylon leashes are the lightest option. You may come across other types like rubber or cloth but those are not so reliable.
