You're not going to want to get out for extended periods of time to walk your dog, and neither is your dog to be quite honest. But even though it's colder and you and your beloved pooch would rather snuggle up on the couch, regular exercise to wear down that pent up energy is much needed no matter what time of year it is or what the weather's like. So to make exercising and <a href="https://petcot.com/pages/benefits-for-your-pet" target="_blank">caring for your pet easier</a> on cold or rainy days, PetCot is sharing with you some great indoor activities you can try.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Visit the Local Pet Store</span></b><br />
Unlike many supermarkets, one of the best perks about pet stores is that they let you bring your pet inside while you shop! So, break out the leash and harness, and take a trip to your local pet store to let your pup burn some of that energy off. Not only will they get their exercise in, but you don't have to freeze your fingers off in the process!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Break Out the Laser Pointer</b></span><br />
We know kitties can't deny the shiny red dot darting across the wall, but many dogs find it just as intriguing too! Use this super simple tool to run your dog in circles, down the halls, over obstacles and more. What's better is that you can do this all while sitting on your cozy couch sipping hot cocoa and getting a good giggle out of watching your goofy pup try to catch the dot.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Play a Game of Tug-O-War</b></span><br />
What dog doesn't like to play Tug-O-War?! And let's be honest, we get at least a little joy out of watching our bouncy babies try to pull us across the floor. Let them show off their strength and wear themselves down by trying to get the rope toy out of your hands.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How About a Game of Hide & Seek?</b></span><br />
Other indoor games such as hide and seek are fun to play with your dog. Put them in a stay. Hide and then call them. How long does it take for them to sniff you out? If it's a long wait, you might try holding a smelly treat: cheese or something with a flavorful smell will usually do the trick. Soon they'll be sniffing you out in no time!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPv2czYlxf4AwMrHVcAjoACPD5M7OaCKO5p7Sm0Qmp_uV8UVlz9RzUVQE7mmNsbErb4MpJLFeKZmgUZR8uoV_s5I7rJSmO9AHmamKSvx81qbRk1yr7aa0171MWg0NmwvBAPdDTIGYhfUv/s1600/shutterstock_586050086.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRPv2czYlxf4AwMrHVcAjoACPD5M7OaCKO5p7Sm0Qmp_uV8UVlz9RzUVQE7mmNsbErb4MpJLFeKZmgUZR8uoV_s5I7rJSmO9AHmamKSvx81qbRk1yr7aa0171MWg0NmwvBAPdDTIGYhfUv/s400/shutterstock_586050086.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Refresh Their Memory</b></span><br />
It's never a bad time to go through all the tricks your dog knows just as a refresher. An intense training session will tire out your dog's mind, which has the same effect on his body by bedtime. You can practice Sit-Stays, Down-Stays, Come, Leave It, Take It, Drop It, and lots of other commands. Just keep the exercises short and spread them throughout the day. Even dogs get tired with too much stimulation, and then they lose focus.<br />
<br />
All of these indoor activities will help to sap some of the energy your pup is sure to have built up on a cold or rainy day. Make sure you've got a comfy place for them to rest their heads after you wear them out. Get an <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">elevated dog bed</a> from PetCot.

At PetCot, we want to help you take care of your pet through every season and every stage of life. Whether you have an indoor pet, or your dog or cat stays outdoors most of the time, here are a few ways to <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=COVERS_PADS" target="_blank">protect your pets in the winter</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-rG0NSIuktA1Ashyphenhyphenn4o6r7gKPhkfAeWxSKOa066yf1C95nXRvRcfWcVoA6Q_j1VlHmVaFRYKdtJCLFuQEK6S5IzvChRntDWd1a6B_Jmq6IXmOKpz1elMpwWcbFrnee5l8Ehsu2I1Ii3k/s1600/shutterstock_90395566.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="1000" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-rG0NSIuktA1Ashyphenhyphenn4o6r7gKPhkfAeWxSKOa066yf1C95nXRvRcfWcVoA6Q_j1VlHmVaFRYKdtJCLFuQEK6S5IzvChRntDWd1a6B_Jmq6IXmOKpz1elMpwWcbFrnee5l8Ehsu2I1Ii3k/s640/shutterstock_90395566.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<h2>
Protect Them From the Cold</h2>
If your pets stay inside or outside, you'll want to make sure that they have the protection they need throughout the cold months. You can get them a sweater if they remain outside full time, or even booties to keep their feet warm when walking across freezing concrete or asphalt.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Feed Them the Correct Amount</h2>
If your pet lives outside, they will burn more calories keeping warm, and will need more food. Indoor pets will need less food in the winter because they will most likely spend a lot of this season sleeping indoors with the heat. You'll also want to make sure they have enough water, and if their water is outside, be aware, and make sure it doesn't freeze.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Make Sure They Get Plenty of Exercise</h2>
Indoor dogs will needs lots of exercise in the winter because they won't be outside as much. Evening walks, running outside, and fetch are great ways to keep them active and help shed any extra pounds they might be gathering through their "hibernation."<br />
<br />

<h2>
Beware of Wintertime Chemical Spills</h2>
Winter can bring many harmful chemicals that are used to treat snow, ice, and frost. Antifreeze could leak from the radiators of vehicles, and this could be deadly if ingested. Event the smallest sip can be fatal. The salt on the sidewalks can cause sores or irritations on your pet's paws, so always be sure to wash their feet when you bring them back inside. You can also rinse their bed off, to make sure that none of the salt gets tracked onto your <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1" target="_blank">pet's favorite bed</a>!<br />
<br />
<h2>
Go for a Ride</h2>
If your pet loves to go for car rides, that probably won't change much in the winter. They'll probably still love to poke their heads out the windows. One thing to beware of, though, is that the engine of your car can seem very attractive to cats, especially in the winter. They often climb up in the engine cavity to stay warm, but as you can imagine, this can have dreadful results. Be sure to tap on your hood before starting your car, and if you have cats who live outside, do a head count first.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Benefits of Place Training</b></span><br />
<div>
Besides it being a convenient way to keep track of where your dog is and what he's doing, there are other more important benefits to place training. So let’s talk about the benefits of the "place" command.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It can keep him from jetting out doors</li>
<li>It helps stop dogs from barking at the door by giving them a quiet place to go to</li>
<li>It can keep him from running after vehicles</li>
<li>It can keep him out of the way if he is constantly underfoot</li>
<li>It gives him a comfortable place to be when you go somewhere else; vacation, the ball field, your friend’s house etc.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Teaching Your Dog Place Training</b></span><br />
It’s not difficult to teach a dog the "place" command, but it will take some time, patience, and consistency. Here are some easy steps to try:<br />
<br />
<b>Lure Your Dog to His Place</b><br />
Start off by standing close to the bed or mat that will serve as your dog's place. Give him the command "place," and then use a treat to lure him onto his spot. As soon as all four feet are on the mat, praise your dog or click the clicker and give him a treat. Repeat this several times. Most dogs will go to the bed or mat on command after a few short training sessions.<br />
<br />
<b>Have a Release Cue</b><br />
Remember to give him a release cue, such as "Okay" or "All done," so he knows when he’s allowed to get off the bed. You shouldn’t force him off it, though – if he’s comfortable, by all means let him hang out!<br />
<br />
<b>Extend the Training</b><br />

Once your dog is consistently going to and lying down in their place once you give the "place" command, gradually increase the distance and/or the duration until your dog will reliably go to his "place" (without a treat) and stay there until you release him. You can go even further with this training by changing up the location of your dog's place. For example, you can designate a spot in each room of your home to be your dog's place. This will teach your dog that no matter where they're at, they must still follow the same rules.<br />
<br />

We know it's sweet to be able to enjoy their unconditional love. And there are some benefits to cozying up to your dog, like keeping you warm, having a sense of security if you sleep alone, and its a natural antidepressant. While these sound like excellent reasons to let your dog sleep in bed with you, there are some downfalls to letting your pooch sleep in bed with you at night. Take a look the reasons you should get your dog his own <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">premium raised dog bed</a>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. No Sleep Tonight</b></span><br />
Think about this: if you sleep with your dog in bed with you, when they get up to do their nightly watches over the house does their jumping off or getting back on the bed wake you? According to the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center, 53% of pet owners said their pets disturbed their sleep in some way nightly. Sleep deprivation, no matter the cause, can lead to decreased alertness, memory impairment, and other physical and mental health issues.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Malamute in the Middle</b></span><br />
Another caution is that allowing your pets to sleep in bed with you can cause issues between couples. Pets should not be permitted to physically come between a couple at night. While it may not seem like an issue at first, when you and your partner do decide to have a little personal romantic time, the moment can quickly die if there's a dog scooting his way between the two of you so he's the center of attention. It's cute at first, but after so many interrupted sessions can become a real nuisance.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Not-So-Sweet Dreams</b></span><br />
Like humans, canines dream, and many are pretty active while in the REM stage. Dogs can toss and turn or “talk” in their sleep. And even when they're not chasing rabbits in their dreams, merely stretching out to get cozy and shoving you with their paws is enough reason to give them their own space. All of these habits can interrupt your sleep cycle, resulting in crankiness, lowering your immune system response, and decreasing alertness during the day.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Watch Out for Allergies</b></span></div>
<div>
<div>
If you tend to have allergies, make sure your pet doesn't sleep in your bed. Not only could you react to your pet's dander and fur, but Fido has been rolling around in who knows what all day. Your dog is exposed to allergens like pollen and dust all the time. They stick in his fur or on his paws, follow him to your bed, and cause your allergies to go haywire. Stuffy noses and sneezing does not make for a good night's sleep.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, as tempting as it is to snuggle up to your precious pooch, invest instead in a premium raised dog bed for your favorite furry friend and leave the bed to the humans. PetCot <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">raised dog beds</a> provide optimal comfort and support for dogs (and other pets) of all sizes. These <a href="https://petcot.com/pages/benefits-for-your-pet" target="_blank">premium raised pet beds</a> keep your dog comfy and cozy and give them a place to call their own. They'll love sleeping on their own raised bed, and since they're so light weight, you can easily place it next to your bed at night so your dog feels like he's sleeping next to you without disturbing your sleep!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1. The Old Standard</b></span></div>
<div>
This recipe is healthy, easy to make and inexpensive. This is also the perfect meal to make in large batches and then freeze as single servings you can thaw for days and days!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>INGREDIENTS:</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1 1/2 cups brown rice</div>
<div>
2 carrots, shredded</div>
<div>

<b>DIRECTIONS:</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a large saucepan of 3 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.</div>
<div>
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks.</div>
<div>
Stir in spinach, carrots, zucchini, peas and brown rice until the spinach has wilted and the mixture is heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool completely.</div>

Wanting to involve them is fine, but there are some pet safety tips you should heed this Halloween to ensure that your pet is safe, secure, and happy. Take a look at some of the tips the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> is sharing this week:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use Caution When Dressing Your Pets in Costume</b></span><br />
Pets in costume, it's super adorable, right?! Well, yes... but if your pet isn't used to or keen on playing dress up, this could cause your pet to feel nervous or stressed. If you do decide that Fido or Kitty needs a costume, costumes should not restrict movement, hearing, eyesight, or the ability to breathe. You should supervise your pets while in costume so that if something goes wrong, it can be addressed right away.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Keep Candies and Other Treats Away from Pets</b></span><br />
Several Halloween treats are toxic to pets, so it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid allowing your pets any treats from the candy bowl. All forms of chocolate—especially baking or dark chocolate—can be dangerous, even lethal, for dogs and cats. Halloween candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can also be poisonous to dogs.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Avoid Leaving Pets Outdoors on Halloween</b></span><br />
Vicious pranksters have been known to tease, injure, steal, and even kill pets on Halloween night. Black cats are especially at risk for pranks or other cruelty-related incidents. Besides the dangers of pranksters doing harm to your pet, the constant noise and people walking by your yard can cause your pet to feel stressed and overwhelmed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prevent Your Pets from Escaping into the Night</b></span><br />
On halloween, if you live in city limits, you're likely to have several trick-or-treaters knocking on your door. Strangers on your doorstep dressed in unusual costumes can be scary for our furry friends, which can result in escape attempts or unexpected aggression. Putting your dog or cat in a secure crate or room away from the front door will reduce stress and prevent them from becoming aggressive towards visitors or darting outside into the night.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Make Sure Your Pet has Identification</b></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi58SYFtI0vEg96PajsfOF5qCob9d6-43I1U8VRV76nlg9BME1H3hTtvrV9ul7eMuJCxwe7ZGgQKBblNO4wsrWEnp-ppiP77OUaNkTOKK4gETGkaHvm66mdf2kYERlS26-RgeRFTk6bc1VY/s1600/shutterstock_32688919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1000" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi58SYFtI0vEg96PajsfOF5qCob9d6-43I1U8VRV76nlg9BME1H3hTtvrV9ul7eMuJCxwe7ZGgQKBblNO4wsrWEnp-ppiP77OUaNkTOKK4gETGkaHvm66mdf2kYERlS26-RgeRFTk6bc1VY/s400/shutterstock_32688919.jpg" width="400" /></a>If your dog or cat does escape and become lost, having the proper identification will increase the chances that he or she will be returned. Make sure that your pet's collar tags are up-to-date and secured to their collar. This will help anyone who comes across your beloved pet quickly be able to contact you. Another very important and permanent form of identity is to have your pet microchipped. Collars can get lost or removed, so the only sure way to effectively ensure your pet's safe return home is to microchip and make sure you routinely update your information.<br />
<br />
By following these simple tips this Halloween, you'll keep your pets safe, healthy, and happy! And don't forget to get your fur babies a treat they CAN have and will LOVE! Make sure you've got a comfy place for them to rest their heads after such an eventful evening.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>They Need to Regenerate Energy</b></span><br />
If you really think about it, dog's sleep periods typically don't last for several hours at a time like ours do. For humans, We typically go all day without a snooze, then catch up by resting for about 6-9 hours during the night. Dogs, however, don't sleep like we do. Instead, they take brief "catnaps" throughout the day and rarely sleep very deeply. So are they really actually getting a rested sleep when they do lay their heads down for a nap?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Breed Makes a Difference</b></span><br />
The amount of sleep dogs need also depends on what they are bred to do. For example, dogs who are bred for working tend to stay awake because of the desire to work and stay active that are engrained in their DNA. Dogs that have tasks to hold their attention will spend most of the day active, dedicated to completing those tasks. Dogs that aren't bred for a specific purpose and lead more sedentary lifestyles, however, will spend most of the day laying around catching some shut eye.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Factor in Dog's Age and Size</span></b><br />
On average, dogs spend about 12-to-14 hours of the 24-hour cycle sleeping. Older dogs typically need more sleep because like human seniors and the elderly, day-to-day living presents more challenges and they tire more easily. Puppies spend their awake-time exploring, playing and growing, so they need as much as 18 to 20 hours of sleep each day to recharge their batteries. And of course, all dogs need sleep, but it tends to be the bigger breeds that are known for constant dozing probably due to their rapid growth and shorter life span.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Your Dog's Health</b></span><br />
Sleeping is an essential part of dogs' everyday routines, so you shouldn't be concerned if your dog sleeps often. However, if you notice a sudden or dramatic change in your dog's sleeping habits or something seems a little off, it's a good idea to consult your veterinarian. Excessive sleep has been linked to conditions such as canine depression, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Life Changes Can Affect Your Dog</b></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixizaKkPKGyDsxukFbFcID9mWgziLWbe6gG7nICiPvdLFf19-vbM-YgjtyXTMGiiNorTgxA5m0FaMIZXVbORitymcZzzU89s6Jirv3DPIBm5J0yr_9S5OxmwBMeo85NrBEAIgrQPYwtV51/s1600/shutterstock_136519679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="518" data-original-width="1000" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixizaKkPKGyDsxukFbFcID9mWgziLWbe6gG7nICiPvdLFf19-vbM-YgjtyXTMGiiNorTgxA5m0FaMIZXVbORitymcZzzU89s6Jirv3DPIBm5J0yr_9S5OxmwBMeo85NrBEAIgrQPYwtV51/s400/shutterstock_136519679.jpg" width="400" /></a>Just like humans, dogs can require some time to recoup after experiencing any sudden life changes. Because dogs adapt so well to their original environments, any shift in their usual experiences may affect them. So if your dog has experienced an alteration in their normal schedule or lifestyle, such as a move to a new home, losing a companion, or even an addition to the family, you may notice a change in their sleep habits. Understandably, dogs may need extra sleep to get their mood and energy level back to normal.<br />
<br />

Dog beds are extremely important. In fact, we consider beds essential for all dogs regardless of size, breed, or age. Pet beds provide more than a place to rest their heads, they provide security. While many people think that their dogs can curl up on the floor, in many cases that isn't the most ideal option for your furry friend. Here are a few reasons that a <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">PetCot</a> bed will benefit your pup's life.<br />

<br />
<b>1. SUPER EASY TO CLEAN</b><br />
Just like humans, dogs can be rather messy. The dander, dog hair, sweat and drool can often cause their beds to be disgusting. A PetCot bed is easy to clean, so that you don't have to worry about what is living inside that plush bedding. The suspended bed also allows for plenty of air movement, so your pet is always getting plenty of air, and the bed can fully dry out when they are not using it. We have many accessories you can pair with your PetCot bed to make it even cleaner for your pet.<br />
<br />
A dog bed can also help keep your home clean! By giving your pet a place to sleep and rest, not only will it keep them off of your couch and bed, but it can limit the amount of hair that gets on your furniture as well. It's much easier to take the cover off of a PetCot bed than it is to wash, vacuum, or roller your entire living room set. Purchase one of our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3928">easy to clean pet beds</a> today and see how much faster it is to keep your area clean!<br />
<br />
<b>2. PROMOTES GOOD HEALTH</b><br />
As your dog gets older you may find that they begin to suffer with health problems. Anything from joint issues to hip pains can all be even more painful without the proper tools. A PetCot bed gives them a place to lay down and take the pressure off of their aching joints. While our beds are perfectly designed so that even your older dog won't have trouble getting off of it, we also sell accessories to make it even more comfortable for them. We offer an <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ORTHOPEDIC_PAD">orthopedic dog bed</a> insert that is made specifically for your PetCot, and your older dog in mind. The extra foam will ease aches and pains, making recovery easier.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3. A PLACE OF THEIR OWN</b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIq4EY6dQBT5wplv-1cf7jmt_qEYazHNKtAySVJY1XHaGtthtdFYBwWb8L1Yh_NSthN2K_vGoh6njQlfR36VhOg-filYoMGO_XatZPxoVnYZ_0rLeB8KirKiKFzzBoO2MWMqwJ6jxkvo1/s1600/1502723_722161454475065_54663380_o%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIq4EY6dQBT5wplv-1cf7jmt_qEYazHNKtAySVJY1XHaGtthtdFYBwWb8L1Yh_NSthN2K_vGoh6njQlfR36VhOg-filYoMGO_XatZPxoVnYZ_0rLeB8KirKiKFzzBoO2MWMqwJ6jxkvo1/s400/1502723_722161454475065_54663380_o%255B1%255D.jpg" width="400" /></a>Sometimes your pet just wants a place that they can call their own, especially if you have more than one. A pet provides them that place where they can nap peacefully, re energize from a long day, or even go when they're scared. Our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">premium raised dog beds</a> come in many sizes, so your dog will have the space they need to spread out and get comfortable.<br />
<br />
Another thing to note, is that giving your dog a place to sleep can help keep him from sleeping in the areas that you don't want him to. If your bed, and the couch are off limits, he needs a place that he can call his own without laying claim to your spots. To make sure that he'll use it though, you have to make sure and get the right size.<br />
<br />
<b>MADE WITH CONVENIENCE IN MIND</b><br />
Our beds were made to fill a need in the pet bed industry. They are fully assembled when you receive them and ready to use immediately. Our pet beds are also stackable, so if you have several of them and need to store them for a short period, or travel with them, they will be more convenient. If you are ready to join the PetCot family and learn how our beds will improve your pet's life, order online today!<br />

At the <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat2">PetCot Company</a>, we love to hear all of the happy stories that come about when a family opens their home to a pet in need. This can be a big change for your family, though, especially when you get an older dog who may need some correctional training or extra special love after a less than ideal situation. So, in honor of October being Adopt a Dog month and because we care about you and your pet, we have a few tips to help make the your recent adoption an easy transition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZW4fw9N8kd5GhzTvyBHpNv3AOdO-YUIUjX3FKo8GamELhUcLztNoXxER2avbvQY5phX4FKYFZjoyGR5SER5WxQPQqAVhRRAAouBEELtBBWF3cqVtiaz1i6_TBHwHAzwKguDtaso6zJ6qj/s1600/shutterstock_443918824.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZW4fw9N8kd5GhzTvyBHpNv3AOdO-YUIUjX3FKo8GamELhUcLztNoXxER2avbvQY5phX4FKYFZjoyGR5SER5WxQPQqAVhRRAAouBEELtBBWF3cqVtiaz1i6_TBHwHAzwKguDtaso6zJ6qj/s640/shutterstock_443918824.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Keep Calm</b></span><br />
When you bring your new pet into the home, you should try to keep the excitement to a minimum. When adopting a dog from a shelter, it's important to keep in mind that you may not know the history of the dog and may not know if something will trigger a less than ideal reaction. If your recently adopted dog was picked up off of the street, there is a lot of history that you do not know. By keeping everything calm in the new environment, you can help keep stimulation at a minimum. Your new dog may have reactions to situations that are unexpected because of previous "training" and when you keep a calm demeanor, you can help your dog work through those reactions.<br />

Give your new dog a space that they can call their own. It's important, especially in a busy household, that your dog has a spot that they can go to where they aren't required to interact. They can sleep, relax, watch you play, and have a safe spot to do all of those things. Our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">raised pet bed</a> is ideal for your new pet because it gives them a space to call their own. You can customize it with a blanket of their very own, putting a few toys on it, and before you know it - they will love it. The best part is, our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/">premium pet beds</a> are easy to clean, do not harbor bacteria, and will grow with your pet whether you adopted a puppy or a full grown dog.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Create a Schedule</b></span><br />
Ease your pet into their new life with a consistent schedule. In addition to exercise, dogs crave love and attention and thrive on an established routine. This is especially important in terms of potty breaks and feeding times. Also, dogs need enough sleep to function effectively When your dog knows what's expected of them during certain times of the day it can create a safe environment for him to relax and enjoy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Decide Your Commands</b></span><br />
Determine which commands are most important for you to use with your new dog and make sure the entire household knows what they are and how to use them. You want your new dog to adapt to their home, know who is the boss, and keep some continuity. This can all be achieved when everyone is using the same commands, and everyone is training together. Even with young children in the house, it's important to make sure that they know how to work with your new family member, and what is appropriate for interaction.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Work With a Trainer</b></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OYaU3n99pa3aFYItBUjowBA1C2HPYmeMnHML4yVuuAhJ8rNtOWynsGZjf6vbAJq40TuWEIVlP-k7lRnWikb75B52dhULocF4N4z1NjuTyEK1vuUMcVIeFarArMgZd4W1IQAGOWwm7coZ/s1600/shutterstock_338095232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OYaU3n99pa3aFYItBUjowBA1C2HPYmeMnHML4yVuuAhJ8rNtOWynsGZjf6vbAJq40TuWEIVlP-k7lRnWikb75B52dhULocF4N4z1NjuTyEK1vuUMcVIeFarArMgZd4W1IQAGOWwm7coZ/s400/shutterstock_338095232.jpg" width="400" /></a>Don't be afraid to hire a trainer, or at the very least, work closely with your vet. When you first bring your dog home, they may still be shy and timid. They may not know how to react to situations, and they may overreact in some instances. By having professionals working closely with you and your pet, they can help you overcome hurdles that you may find at the very beginning, or that may surface months later as they get acclimated and you get to know them better.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Welcome Home!</b></span><br />
We are so excited that you've opened your home to your new family member. There may be a lot of new changes for everyone in the next few weeks, and it's important to have all of the tools you need from the beginning. When you bring your new dog home, introducing them to their new PetCot is a great way to welcome them to their new space.

But for some dogs, especially puppies, simply walking them just isn't enough to deter their instinctive nature to chew and destroy. We all know how frustrating it can be to try to stay patient after watching time and again your beloved new puppy destroy yet another pair of shoes. That's why this week, the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> is sharing with you a few tips for training and keeping your active chewer busy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOIRR6oJ5mQ4k8wZxtlc9eQA2Rkvo0BqdAWWsdCFxTfwd9FwWmplbWDdG2gDYilWZnxiYc0h5O1criF9HD-9-4WGjbJVVrseGEOrBmldyp1FBngci-xZUAy62HVkDuwtH4gnfGrOKcfZ3/s1600/shutterstock_81106969.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilOIRR6oJ5mQ4k8wZxtlc9eQA2Rkvo0BqdAWWsdCFxTfwd9FwWmplbWDdG2gDYilWZnxiYc0h5O1criF9HD-9-4WGjbJVVrseGEOrBmldyp1FBngci-xZUAy62HVkDuwtH4gnfGrOKcfZ3/s640/shutterstock_81106969.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kennel While You're Away</b></span><br />
If you've got a stress-induced or bored chewer, perhaps it's in your (and their) best interest to keep them kenneled while you're away and unable to supervise. Start off by making sure they relate their kennel as a safe zone and not just a place for discipline. If you only use the kennel when they're being bad, they'll have negative feelings toward the kennel and you may have a very difficult time getting them to willingly go to their kennel, which could cause a whole new set of problems in itself. So use the kennel often, even while you're home, so they don't relate it as a bad experience and become comfortable spending time in it. By kenneling your dog while you're not there to supervise, you'll avoid destruction of your home and personal items, but you'll also avoid your dog chewing up something that could be harmful to their health.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Give Them Ways to Release Energy</b></span><br />
Not only should you take your dog on walks to let out some of their pent up energy, but you should also provide them with ways to continue to release energy when they're in the house. Some great ways to do this are to create fun games that make them work for treats. As an example, you can hide treats around your home and send your beloved fur baby on a scavenger hunt to find them. You may have to lead them to the hiding spots the first few times you do this, but they'll catch on quickly and soon enough you'll be finding new hiding spots to challenge them! You can also give them durable toys to chew on that'll keep their interest for hours, such as Kongs filled with treats or peanut butter. Or go big and create a designated sand pit in the backyard that they can dig in. Whatever you choose to do, make sure that it'll keep your dog's interest, and routinely change it up to keep them from getting bored.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Teach Your Dog Right From Wrong</b></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIVZLVy2GCSasCDmJa-1vTsz0vycDT8FSwtvdnDfG7w6KeG-MQK7ybnRXr2CSJvhrNFISd6ffSoNSuRq7zLGVnZbgYHmkHnIB0kECxUmZDO2Q_NGU-1lfOgrpZd8G4he7EhGMIN6hZCAf/s1600/shutterstock_346701893.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="1000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIVZLVy2GCSasCDmJa-1vTsz0vycDT8FSwtvdnDfG7w6KeG-MQK7ybnRXr2CSJvhrNFISd6ffSoNSuRq7zLGVnZbgYHmkHnIB0kECxUmZDO2Q_NGU-1lfOgrpZd8G4he7EhGMIN6hZCAf/s400/shutterstock_346701893.jpg" width="400" /></a>While it may not seem like it at first, dogs (even easily distracted puppies) love to please. So, how are you going to teach your dog right from wrong? Well, with consistency and patience, of course! But seriously. The trick is to SHOW your dog what is okay for them to chew on. How you can do this is anytime your dog is chewing on something they shouldn't be, take it away and firmly tell them "NO". Then immediately offer them something they CAN chew on. Once they take it, praise them! It's really that simple. By staying consistent and patient, your smart little pooch will quickly catch on that there are certain things they are okay chewing on, and will avoid the rest.<br />
<br />
We hope that these tips will serve you well in the task of training and keeping your active chewer busy. Just remember, consistency and patience is the most important part of training any dog. And of course, for those destructive dukes in your life, make sure you've got a comfy place for them to rest their heads after you wear them out. Get a <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">durable dog bed</a> from PetCot. Our beds are one of the most durable on the market.

You perform these tasks so that you look good when you go out in public, and even just looking good for yourself! Just like you need these things done, your pet needs a few basic grooming procedures performed. They may not need them every single day, but they do need to be done on a routine basis. Here are a few things you can remember to do for your pet to keep them looking their best!</span><br />

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">
Sometimes your cat or dog may be leery of bathing, and if so, that's okay! There are a few steps you can take to help ease them into it - even if they're just baby steps. Start by preparing the bathing area with all of the supplies you'll need beforehand. You'll want to have the tub or basin filled with lukewarm water, a cup to pour water over them or a spray nozzle, and pet shampoo/conditioner. Every pet is different, so handle the bathing uniquely for them. Some pets like the tub already filled and ready to go when they jump in, others like to get into an empty tub and have you fill it. This will be about learning what they need individually, and taking it slow if they're leery. If it's warm outside you can always consider doing it outdoors with a hose or kiddy pool, especially if you have a larger dog. Bathing is an important step in pet grooming because it keeps their skin and hair clear of debris, and can help keep your house cleaner too!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">BRUSHING</span></h2>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">
When you brush your pet, you're removing dirt and loose hair from their coat. This prevents mats and tangles, but can also help keep your house cleaner as well. Every dog will need a different brushing schedule based on the coat they have. If they have a long coat, you want to brush them at least every week, while if they have a longer coat you can get away with brushing it every few weeks. There are several different types of brushes you can choose from, and it's all based on your pet's comfort level with them. If your pet sees a groomer, you can try to choose a brush like theirs so that they are more comfortable with brushing no matter where they are.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">
Oral hygiene is just as important for your pet as it is for you. While it may take a few weeks to get your pet warmed up to the idea of brushing their teeth, it is possible and important. More than 85 percent of cats and dogs over four years old are affected by periodontal disease. You can also purchase special toys that are made to "floss" your pet's teeth, and treats that help with dental hygiene.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-size: 14.85px;">
If your dog's nails click on the floor as they walk, or if you press on the toe so that the nail extends fully and it curves beyond the bottom of the toe pad it is too long. Nail trimming can seem like an intense process, but sometimes you just need to take it slow. Many people take their dogs to a groomer to have this done, but if you are worried that it might be too much for your pet to take in, you can do it in the comfort of your own home. </div>

A dog's loyalty, devotion, and unconditional love is an unmatched reward that dog owners are so privileged to experience. But owning a dog isn't just a privilege. It's a huge responsibility. They require time, care, and undivided attention. If you're considering taking a dog in, you need to seriously consider the commitment that dog ownership takes. If you already have a dog, are you doing what you need to do to fulfill your obligations as a pet owner? This week, we're sharing with you 5 very important ways to ensure that you're being a responsible dog owner - take a look:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF9AWL79DTEHVdcZaDzuu-Oa7a_3uyxRherNnStLt7JTi8WeqD7Sa6Kv0nNTdonyp_-f1oVnTn_Xv9Xltl4uge-LXdej1IY-ja8_1-C8HnxY1iTLKYh6U-M6Kp6sAYq5SyTfad1ApcW-7_/s1600/shutterstock_455317342.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF9AWL79DTEHVdcZaDzuu-Oa7a_3uyxRherNnStLt7JTi8WeqD7Sa6Kv0nNTdonyp_-f1oVnTn_Xv9Xltl4uge-LXdej1IY-ja8_1-C8HnxY1iTLKYh6U-M6Kp6sAYq5SyTfad1ApcW-7_/s640/shutterstock_455317342.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Be a Canine Ambassador</b><br />
One irresponsible dog owner in town can make life difficult for dog owners all over. So, as a dog owner, you are responsible not only for your own dog's well being, but for the status of dogs everywhere. Having a friendly, clean, well-mannered dog reflects positively on the species and may help protect our rights to own companion animals. So when you are out with your dog, be respectful of local animals laws and of your neighbors, and make sure to pick up after your pet during walks. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>2. Promote a Healthy Lifestyle for Your Dog</b><br />
Part of responsible dog ownership is to ensure a healthy lifestyle. There's a lot you must do to maintain your dog's health. First of all, it's important to schedule routine check ups with your veterinarian to keep track of your dog's health and keep up with vaccinations to prevent disease and illness. You also need to maintain your dog's hygiene to avoid ticks, fleas, and parasites. We offer <a href="https://petcot.com/pages/benefits-for-your-pet" target="_blank">easy-to-clean premium raised dog beds</a> that help to prevent bacteria buildup and parasites. Groom and clip their nails routinely to avoid fur matting or injury. Feed your dog a well-balanced healthy diet to promote healthy weight, and exercise him regularly.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. Keep Your Dog Safe and Secure</b><br />
It's important to think about the safety of your dog BEFORE it's too late. Attach an identification tag with updated contact information to their collar. Microchipping is a method of permanently identifying your dog, and can be invaluable in recovering your dog should he become lost. Make arrangements for your dog's care when you go away. Enlist a family member or friend to take care of your dog in the event of a sudden illness, hospitalization or other emergency. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. Train Your Dog Even After Pup Stage</b><br />
Teach your dog basic commands such as sit, stay, come and down. Training your dog will not only make your life easier, but can also keep your dog safe and well. Obedience classes can be a great experience for you and your dog. Not only will it give you a chance to get help with training, but it provides the perfect opportunity to socialize your dog. The more your dog learns of the world, the more comfortable he will be in it. By continuing to train your dog even after the puppy stage, you'll help your dog to remain a well-mannered member of society. Our <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">pet care products</a> are great for training!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. Show Your Pooch Lots of Love</b></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3CpdAJXvnZK0397IzxtIMJcdUbdE-hoOqKznYtLLAjL4Ud_Quw0FwJ-fAvVRnR-4hJBqwJDi36dbAtCTpGTVA0B8MVfxbuF8DrYkAcpDJcVG3jNBD8hhN4S0_DrVrGhJQ8efKwEaEBeF/s1600/shutterstock_433698919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="1000" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3CpdAJXvnZK0397IzxtIMJcdUbdE-hoOqKznYtLLAjL4Ud_Quw0FwJ-fAvVRnR-4hJBqwJDi36dbAtCTpGTVA0B8MVfxbuF8DrYkAcpDJcVG3jNBD8hhN4S0_DrVrGhJQ8efKwEaEBeF/s400/shutterstock_433698919.jpg" width="400" /></a>You are the center of your dog's world. You may be tired after a long day at work, but your dog has spent the day anxiously awaiting your return. Reward that loyalty with your time. Dogs love to play. Set aside time each day for play sessions. Take your dog on frequent walks. Give your dog treats. Scratch your dog's belly often. Include your dog in family activities. Make sure your dog has a cozy place to rest, such as a <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot dog bed</a>. Whatever it is you choose to do, you'll be showing your pooch just how much you love him by giving him your undivided attention, and that's all he really wants.<br />
<br />
Owning a dog is a great privilege, as well as a great responsibility. And it's something that should not be taken lightly or without serious consideration. So, if you're a pet owner looking for ways to give back for all of the love and happiness your dog gives you, or if you don't have a dog but are considering getting one, we hope that these tips will help to serve you well.<br />
<br />
A happy pet makes a happy owner, and a comfortable pet is a happy pet. Are you ready to see why purchasing a PetCot bed will be the last <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=WATERPROOF_CRATE_PAD" target="_blank">premium pet bed</a> you have to purchase?

They run and play, nap and cuddle, and for all of that, they need the right nutrition to make sure they can continue to do all of these things. Whether you have a cat or dog, there are specific foods that your pet needs at different stages of their life so they can continue to live up to all of their potential. Here at the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot company</a>, we realize the value of having the right tools, whether that's a <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">raised pet bed</a> or a delicious and nutritious dog food. Here are a few ways you can make sure you're getting the right food for your pet.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you have any concerns about your pet's eating habits, what they should or shouldn't eat, or the quantity or quality - please consult your veterinarian for more information.<br />
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Consider Their Stage of Life</span></b><br />
<br />
It's important to realize that your pet's stage of life can influence the types of food they need. While a young pet will need plenty of proteins and vitamins so they can build a strong frame as they grow, an older pet may need something that helps support their aging body and is easily digestible. Pet food isn't a one size fits all.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look At The Ingredients</b></span><br />
<br />
If you aren't sure what type of food to get, you can always start by looking at the ingredients on the bag. They will be in order of quantity used, so you'll want to see some form of meat or fish as the first or second item on the list. You'll also want to find appropriate amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and fats in a pet food.<br />
<br />
While there are some who choose to get a grain free or gluten free dog food, keep in mind that there are studies saying that your pet isn't allergic to gluten. If you have any concerns about your pets allergies or diet you'll want to talk to your veterinarian. They can run tests on your furry friend to find out exactly what is happening in their body, and choose a food that works with them.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Compare the Guaranteed Analysis</b></span><br />
<br />
The Guaranteed Analysis can be found on the back of your pet food bag. The chart lists the percentages of the different ingredients contained in the food, but you have to remember that the numbers are on an "as fed" basis and they don't take into account the amount of moisture in the food. Because different foods have different moisture levels, you'll want to determine the actual levels of moisture by converting wet food to Dry Matter.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take Time Switching Food</b></span><br />
<br />
Once you've compared the foods and you're ready to make the switch, remember that it's important to make a slow transition between the new food and the old. There are normal bacteria in your dog's digestive system that allow them to digest their food, and when you suddenly change it on them, they can have adverse effects, and it can be harder for them to transition.<br />

While, yes, we would agree with that statement, we also know it doesn't have to be as big of a sacrifice as you think. This week, we're sharing with you a few things that you can do to decorate your home to be more pet friendly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrWabrbMgat31kPHbe9ah_mRUz2caPSm_x5B3b_uOby2i3kKVaPJhRHao5ZXYrl3OsZ4zeG64VWWwElw8ZDPBbtoyUDAr1ceROV34xEnDVgiIskclkJF3mhWCOCuos3bd4C9mS9c9MFwP/s1600/shutterstock_257801194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrWabrbMgat31kPHbe9ah_mRUz2caPSm_x5B3b_uOby2i3kKVaPJhRHao5ZXYrl3OsZ4zeG64VWWwElw8ZDPBbtoyUDAr1ceROV34xEnDVgiIskclkJF3mhWCOCuos3bd4C9mS9c9MFwP/s640/shutterstock_257801194.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Use Slip-Proof Rugs</b></span><br />
<br />
The best rugs feature patterns with a multitude of colors that draw the eye away from dirt, stains, and pet hair. Some rugs do a great job of resisting stains, while others can easily be taken outside and hosed clean. Check the rug label for details. Whichever option you choose, include a non-skid pad or double-sided tape beneath the rug so Fido and Fluffy can run safely through the house. And you'll protect your flooring from getting ruined, too.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Choose Pet Friendly Furnishings</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The goal is to choose upholstery fabrics that create less work for you. Avoid chairs and sofas covered in velvet, chenille, or other delicate fabrics that can be easily ruined by pets. Tweed can also be a nightmare to clean because pet hair gets caught in its uneven surface. Instead, opt for stain-resistant fabrics that are durable. Crypton is a nearly indestructible, synthetic fabric that's resistant to stains, smells, bacteria and muddy paws. Leather is an easy fabric to clean and is pretty durable. Just keep a leather repair kit on hand to fix scratches. Denim, canvas, and microfiber or microsuede fabrics are other great, easy to clean choices. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Protect Your Walls </b></span><br />
<div>
<br />
Let's face it, whether they mean to or not, dogs make messes. And big slobbery dogs make even bigger messes. Paint your walls in a semi-gloss-finish paint, especially in rooms that see lots of activity and moisture such as the bathroom and kitchen. This will make wiping down walls after your dog shakes after bath time or drinking much simpler. </div>

<div>
If you're sharing your bed with your dog, the dander, dog hair, sweat and drool can often cause your bed to quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria. Rather than spending a bunch of time washing and rewashing your sheets and bed covers every other day, get your dog a PetCot! A <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">raised dog bed</a> can help keep your home cleaner, and it'll keep them off of your couch and bed. It's much easier wipe down a PetCot than it is to wash, vacuum, or roller your entire living room or bed set.<br />
<br />
By using these tips for making your home more pet friendly, you'll appreciate the time you'll save with cleaning up after your fur baby. And since these are such minor, inexpensive decor changes, you'll also appreciate that your home hasn't completely been taken over by your pooch and that it can still feel like home! Don't forget to invest in a PetCot bed to give your pooch his own place to call his own in your home.

Pet supplies in a kennel must be able to withstand constant use and many different dogs. From big to small, and energetic to lazy, every dog has a different set of needs, and a PetCot bed can help survive all of them. If you work for a kennel, here are a few reasons we think you'll love having our beds in stock!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>They're Incredibly Durable</b><br />
<br />
The PetCot dog bed is lightweight but tough enough that it is used in thousands of homes and kennel runs nationwide. Our exclusive cover is heat-sealed seamed, not sewn, with corner-to-corner fabric. The frame is made of strong rust resistant steel tubing (not PVC plastic, which can crack and break). One of the best (and most common) testimonials we receive is that our beds last for a LONG time. If under the rare circumstance that something happens, we offer replacement parts!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>They are Very Comfortable and Hygienic</b><br />
<br />
The PetCot dog bed provides comfort and support for pets while alleviating the breeding ground for bacteria and odor that pillow beds provide. Any kennel will be the first to realize that a large number of dogs from many different backgrounds can mean that there are many different germs and odors that come through. Having a <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">hygienic pet bed</a> can help alleviate these occurrences.<br />
<br />
<b>The Elevated Design</b><br />
<br />
Our unique 4 ½" elevated dog bed evenly distributes dog's weight while keeping the dog away from excessive cold, heat, moisture and pests. Other cot-style beds on the market are higher elevation making it hard for older pets to get on and off. This can be a huge advantage for kennels, because of the varying ages of the dogs that will be there. If you have older dogs, the height is still easy enough for them to climb up to, and the weight dispersing is extremely comfortable to them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>They Assist with Wellness Care</b><br />
<br />
We know more than anyone that you will have many different pets in your kennel on a day to day basis. From young and frisky to old and wise, you want a bed that can support all stages of life. The PetCot dog bed helps prevent joint-related difficulties and cuts down on elbow calluses. It is great for all dogs and cats and beneficial for arthritic and geriatric pets. The PetCot dog bed evenly supports your pet, unlike filled beds that can clump and become uneven.<br />
<br />
<b>Great for Indoors and Outdoors</b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyG-a_F5U17YrpBl5yWL5oVzYjcC7CoRHJFQpJcP1vhhQnOcUnoCgiMdHWSFMOpD8Qt5nDhgnMf0Yy2aIqEy2gpZ-6XzgpheqIpK7wNMnmnXiADUuCzLH_9x5_uq7PxXahT6Y_RJGWOOA0/s1600/shutterstock_140724106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyG-a_F5U17YrpBl5yWL5oVzYjcC7CoRHJFQpJcP1vhhQnOcUnoCgiMdHWSFMOpD8Qt5nDhgnMf0Yy2aIqEy2gpZ-6XzgpheqIpK7wNMnmnXiADUuCzLH_9x5_uq7PxXahT6Y_RJGWOOA0/s400/shutterstock_140724106.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
The rugged construction is perfect for indoor and outdoor use, making our beds a perfect addition to your kennel. The fabric is UV light resistant and fast drying, so whether it gets left out on a rainy day or a sunny day, it will be able to stand up to the elements.<br />

Vaccinating your dog has long been considered one of the easiest ways to help them live long, healthy lives. With the recent controversy of the risks incurred, you may have some questions about vaccinating. So this week, the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> offers answers to some common questions around the topic.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFd-Z90uz4jsp9QIAtVE2I_R_vRwATaznfOre7OY1xY5SX7ScJhlaXpFFQEA6LIG5w-hkE2OHuj3Rs2UYhc_9836r8hiENUPD5OWIHpdh47GT6PKucEAeOewlHsRcddcB0AqqG1arvFEq/s1600/shutterstock_92628349.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="1000" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFd-Z90uz4jsp9QIAtVE2I_R_vRwATaznfOre7OY1xY5SX7ScJhlaXpFFQEA6LIG5w-hkE2OHuj3Rs2UYhc_9836r8hiENUPD5OWIHpdh47GT6PKucEAeOewlHsRcddcB0AqqG1arvFEq/s640/shutterstock_92628349.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<b>What Are Vaccines?</b><br />
A vaccine is a biological substance designed to protect humans from infections caused by bacteria and viruses. Vaccines help prepare the body's immune system to fight the invasion of disease-causing organisms. Vaccines contain antigens, which look like the disease-causing organism to the immune system but don't actually cause disease. When the vaccine is introduced to the body, the immune system is mildly stimulated. If a dog is ever exposed to the real disease, his immune system is now prepared to recognize and fight it off entirely or reduce the severity of the illness.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How Important Are Vaccines?</b><br />
When managing the health of your dog, vaccines are very important. However, not every dog needs to be vaccinated against every disease. Your veterinarian will best know what vaccinations are right for your dog. Factors that should be examined include age, medical history, environment, travel habits and lifestyle. Most vets highly recommend administering core vaccines to healthy dogs.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>What are Core Vaccines?</b><br />
Core vaccines are considered vital to all dogs based on the risk of exposure, severity of disease or transmissibility to humans. Canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis and rabies are considered core vaccines. Non-core vaccines are given depending on the dog’s exposure risk. These include vaccines against Bordetella bronchiseptica, Borrelia burgdorferi and Leptospira bacteria. Your veterinarian can determine what non-core vaccines are best for your dog, but the core vaccines are a must.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>How Often Should You Vaccinate?</b></div>
Typically it's recommended to vaccinate puppies as early as 6-8 weeks of age and at 3-4 week intervals until the puppy reaches 16 weeks old. After that, your pet's vaccine schedule will depend on the type of vaccine, your dog’s age, medical history, environment and lifestyle. Some adult dogs might receive certain vaccines, such as a rabies vaccine, annually, while other vaccines might be given every 3 years or longer.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Are There Risks or Side Effects?</b></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLvd_q-xchPlgCektp2oiEaX25RlS3JJN9KgbC2YQqE26tQQsxWiKdgsOJTKrEOlRD0qurjFpYF7r6OmK_dsOWy5n_m5yDVop1wLuY8cglZwHNygr5PMcJklwcD4SDC88rlpbTI9DJno0/s1600/shutterstock_133708478.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLvd_q-xchPlgCektp2oiEaX25RlS3JJN9KgbC2YQqE26tQQsxWiKdgsOJTKrEOlRD0qurjFpYF7r6OmK_dsOWy5n_m5yDVop1wLuY8cglZwHNygr5PMcJklwcD4SDC88rlpbTI9DJno0/s400/shutterstock_133708478.jpg" width="400" /></a>Immunizations mildly stimulate an animal’s immune system in order to create protection from specific infectious diseases. This stimulation can create mild symptoms, ranging from soreness at the injection site to fever and allergic reactions. Another less common side effect is the development of immune mediated disease following vaccination. Most dogs show no ill effect from vaccination, but as with any medical procedure, there is a small chance of side effects. In most cases, the risks are much smaller than the risks of disease itself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While there are controversial concerns about the safety of vaccinating, studies have shown that dogs who have been vaccinated live longer, healthier lives than those who have not. And while it may be hard to see your pup get shots, it's better to go through that brief moment of uncomfort than to watch your dog suffer from preventable illnesses and diseases. Vaccines can cause side effects that make your dog tired or sore, so after your pup's annual vaccines, make sure your dog has a comfy place to rest. A <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">premium raised dog bed</a> is perfect for keeping your dog comfortable and give them a place to feel safe after such an eventful visit.

And you take good care of your family, no questions asked. We feel where you're coming from because we, too, love our dogs like they're our children, and we'd do anything to make them happy. Since August 10th has been deemed Spoil Your Dog Day, we've decided to share with you 5 ways to pamper your pooch!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>1. Treat Your Pooch to a S-Paw Day</b><br />
Everyone needs a special spa day to just relax and reset, including your dog! So, pamper your pooch with a nice relaxing day getting pretty and relaxing. Take your dog to the groomer for a bath, hair cut, and nail clip. Then, spend some time giving them a puppy massage, focusing on their paws for sure! You can even YouTube how to give a proper puppy massage if you're unsure of your massage giving skills.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Create a Designated Digging Area</b><br />
What dog doesn't love to dig? We typically attempt to refrain from letting them dig, but it's in their nature. So, instead of battling their natural instinct to hide every single bone or toy you give them, give them a designated digging area that they can let their wild side go crazy! Designate a spot in your yard. Make a heaping pile of dirt and hide some of their favorite toys for them to dig for. This could give them the idea that it's okay to dig anywhere, so it's important to train your dog that this is their special spot and that other areas are off limits. Dogs are smart, so more than likely, your pup will catch on pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Go for a Road Trip that Doesn't Involve the Vet's Office</b><br />
Some people have trouble convincing their pup to "go for a ride", and we understand that. The key to taking your dog for a car ride they'll enjoy is to do it sporadically, no just when they're going to the vet's office. If they begin to see a pattern, they'll associate the car with something unenjoyable. So load up your pooch, roll the windows down, and just enjoy the ride! You don't even have to have a real destination. But we bet if you throw in a surprise trip to the dog park or a pet store, your pup will quickly learn to love road trips with you!<br />
<br />
<b>4. Splurge on the Special Treats</b><br />
Sure, you have the regular treats hanging around your house that you use for praising and training, but you know what we're talking about when we say SPECIAL treats! We mean the meaty, savory goodness that your dog salivates over - whether that's a huge raw beef bone or a scrumptious peanut butter delight, do something above the normal and give your dog something you know they'll love!<br />
<br />
<b>5. Pamper your Pooch with a Premium Dog Bed</b><br />

<br />
<b>Adopt From Your Local Shelter</b><br />
Buying a purebred pooch from a pet store or breeder can be very costly, ranging anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars. But adopting from an animal shelter or pet rescue, your adoption fee may only be just $75 to $150. Not only will you be helping a pet in need, but most shelters spay or neuter and de-worm and vaccinate the animals prior to adoption, which saves you money on those costs.<br />
<br />
<b>Make a Trade for Pet Services</b><br />
Do you have a friend that would willingly watch your beloved pooch while you've got to be out of town in exchange for a batch of your famous ooey gooey butter cookies? Take advantage of that easy trade for saving money on pet services! You can exchange just about anything for pet services (accounting, house cleaning, dental care), so play to your strengths. What you get in return can range from walking your dog a few times a week, to cleaning your pet's teeth (if your friend's a veterinarian).<br />
<br />
<b>Shop Around and Compare Pricing</b><br />
If you're the least bit frugal, you probably already compare prices before going shopping for yourself. Why not do the same when buying for your pet? When purchasing pet food or litter, buying in bulk can save you big money, especially if you have more than one animal at home. Clip coupons from your local newspaper and look for store specials to maximize your savings. Look into an online or mail order store like for your pet's medications, they are typically are much cheaper since they don't have a retail markup.<br />
<br />
<b>Don't Pay To Have It Done, Do It Yourself</b><br />
Vets and groomers can be expensive. Although you have to take your pet in for check-ups and procedures once in a while, you can learn how to handle some of the everyday care yourself. Daily brushing not only leaves your pet with a shiny, lustrous coat, but it also helps clear away dirt and matted fur. Bathe your dog yourself. It may take some getting used to, but it can save you quite a bit in the long run depending on how often your dog needs bathed. You can also ask your vet or groomer to show you how to clip your dog's nails so you can do that at home too. <br />
<br />
<b>Practice Preventative Care</b><br />
Most pets need to get a check-up about once every six months. If you take good care of your cat or dog, those twice-yearly visits will be enough, and you won't have to spend any extra time and money at the vet's office. Waiting until your pet is already sick can turn a $100 veterinarian visit into a $3,000 trip. Follow your vet's recommendations for check-ups so you can nip any potential health problems in the bud.<br />
<br />
<b>Invest in a Durable Pet Bed</b><br />
Sure, you could go to your local supermarket and pick up one of those super expensive pillow dog beds that only last a few months before you have to toss it and buy a new one... OR you could invest in a pet bed that is lightweight, but also tough enough that kennels and veterinary offices nationwide count on it. That is what you will get with a <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">PetCot bed</a>. They are light enough that you can easily pick them up and move them, but strong enough to handle the weight of even your heaviest dog. Our exclusive cover is heat-sealed seamed, not sewn, and with corner, to corner fabric, you won’t feel weakness in the design. Our <a href="https://petcot.com/pages/benefits-for-your-pet" target="_blank">premium raised pet beds</a> are known for being durable, which in itself will save you money. But if you have a destructive Duke, you don't have to worry about replacing the entire bed. We offer replacement parts at very affordable prices!<br />

This widely celebrated holiday was created in 2005 by Celebrity Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige. National Mutt Day is all about embracing, saving and celebrating mixed breed dogs. So, in honor of this wonderful pet holiday, the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> is offering 5 ways in which you can celebrate the mutts in your life!<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<b>1. Visit your local animal shelter and adopt a new friend</b><br />
Dog lovers know every canine is one-of-a-kind, but mixed-breed dogs are truly unique thanks to their grab-bag of genes. Mutts come in every shape, size, scruff, and shade you can think of! Personality-wise, too, mixed-breed dogs can have any disposition under the sun, depending what family traits win out. Help save a life and see how a mutt can enhance your own!<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<b>2. Volunteer to walk a shelter dog</b></div>
Did you know that some shelter dogs rarely leave their kennels? Shelter staffs just do not have the time to dedicate to walking each dog every day, and could really use the extra help that volunteering gives. Volunteering to walk shelter dogs also gives you an opportunity to help raise awareness, recruit people with time and compassion, and encourage animal lovers to visit their local shelter to learn about volunteer opportunities.<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.64px;"><br /></span></span><b>3. Donate food and other supplies needed to your local animal shelter</b></div>
<div>
Many shelters rely solely on the good hearts and goodwill of those who donate. While there are some government assisted programs that provide some funding to animal shelters, the wait lists are long and it's not always guaranteed that they'll get the funding they need to properly maintain and care for the animals that arrive in their shelters daily. Often times, shelters will post supply need lists on their websites or social media pages, so subscribe to your local shelter's facebook or website page and keep an eye out for their next need list. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. Make a donation in the memory of a loved dog who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge</b></div>
<div>
There comes a time in every pet owner's life that they must say goodbye to their furry friend. It's never easy, and another pet just cannot replace that void. But what may help ease some of the heartache and give you peaceful closure is to make a donation to your local shelter in memory of your beloved dog who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. In doing so, you're honoring the life of your pet and passing along the unconditional love they received from you to those that are not as fortunate to have a loving furever home and family. </div>
<div>
<br />
<b>5. Spread the word to raise awareness</b></div>
You can purchase clothing, canvas totes and collectible mugs to show your support for mutts. While you're spending time with your mutt or volunteering your time at your local shelter snap a few pictures and post them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #NationalMuttDay. Or you can even do some research to locate dog walk events taking place near you and register, then invite your friends to join you!</div>

This special day was created to raise awareness of the plight of mixed breed dogs in shelters around the nation, as approximately 80% of dogs in shelters are mixed breeds. The mission behind National Mutt Day is to educate the public about the overwhelming number of mixed breed dogs that desperately await new homes and to celebrate the amazing characteristics that the mix of breeds creates in each individual dog.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Celebrate National Mutt Day by spending time with the mutts in your life or by volunteering at your local shelter. Your efforts to educate and bring awareness to this cause will be appreciated and won't go unnoticed. If you'd like to donate supplies to your local shelter, we've got great products that shelters would love to have - such as a <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1" target="_blank">raised dog bed</a> or <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=WATERPROOF_CRATE_PAD" target="_blank">waterproof crate pads</a>. <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT" target="_blank">Visit our website today</a> to get your donation items ordered!</div>

With so many important things to teach them, how are you supposed to know where to start? Many people wonder when the right time to start training their puppy is, and honestly, the answer is now. Start setting your puppy up for success today, and you'll be able to reinforce those habits for the rest of their life. Here are a few tips from trainers that will help you figure out what your puppy needs to learn, and how to teach it to them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJIS5mfJsrOgl7l3YyDXbYkyjhCc5L_2AfCWKqNdVRYl15HEUQMQpfRWlYvpdhzEhzy05Ew4J1FlcaqYlnlMpZ6uTpZGna0xl9QMo7-nSRlurlJ4PtRjZmpXnMRin22TqF1j4JzEWse01U/s1600/shutterstock_467258459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJIS5mfJsrOgl7l3YyDXbYkyjhCc5L_2AfCWKqNdVRYl15HEUQMQpfRWlYvpdhzEhzy05Ew4J1FlcaqYlnlMpZ6uTpZGna0xl9QMo7-nSRlurlJ4PtRjZmpXnMRin22TqF1j4JzEWse01U/s640/shutterstock_467258459.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Start with Routines</b><br />
It's important to start training your puppy on the routines that they'll be keeping in the coming weeks. Teach them where their food and water dishes are, and keep them in the same places, and feed them at the same times each day. Teach them where they'll be going to the bathroom, and always take them to the same place for continuity. Most importantly, continually train them about their bedtime. Keep their PetCot bed in the same place so they know where bedtime happens, and then be sure to reinforce what time they wake up and what time they go to sleep. These routines will be just as valuable for you as it is for them.<br />
<br />
<b>Teach Words</b><br />
The next step is to start reinforcing words in their vocabulary. "No," means stop what you're doing right now. "Good," reinforces that what they're doing is exemplary. These two words are generally introduced around 2-3 months old, and should be used when necessary. There are many other words you will want to add to their vocabulary like sit, stay, down, off, come, don't touch, drop it, go lie down, etc. These words should only be taught after "no" and "good" have been learned well.<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>Treat Training</b><br />
While using treats can be a great incentive for your pup, it's not the most effective way to reinforce good behavior, or stop the bad. Treat training, in essence, is based solely off your pup wanting to eat or not. Suppose he goes running out the door after a squirrel, and even though you're tempting him with a treat, he wants to chase the squirrel more than eat a treat. Not only does that reinforce bad habits of not listening to you, but you're showing that if he doesn't want a treat he doesn't have to listen. It would be much more efficient to implement a training based on respect over treats.<br />

Treats are initially used to help reinforce good behavior, and direct the pet to what you're wanting them to do, but as your training goes on, you should be weaning them off the treats and guiding them to do what you've asked solely based on the command and authority.<br />
<br />
<b>Respect Training</b><br />
If your dog hears your words, understands them, and still chooses not to obey, this could be a sign that they don't respect you. It's important to establish respect in the relationship, not because you HAVE to be in charge, but because you can protect your pet better when they obey. If they are running out into the road, but don't listen to you when you say "come," they are in danger of running into oncoming traffic.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">11 Fun Facts About Dogs</span></div>
</h2>
<br />
1. A typical dog has the same brain aptitude level as a toddler. Dogs can comprehend about 250 words and count up to 5.<br />
<br />
2. Eighty percent of dog owners shower their pets with gifts (such as a <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">premium raised dog bed</a>) on special occasions like birthdays and holidays. On holidays, over half of these pets are included in the signature of family cards.<br />
<br />
3. In the United States, about 1 million dog owners have named their pets the primary beneficiary in their wills.<br />
<br />
4. The typical body temperature for a dog is between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to 98.6 for humans.<br />
<br />
5. Dogs actually do sweat, but only through the pads on their paws.<br />
<br />
6. In addition to sweating through their paw pads, dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400 breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuQORRBFLPaOyqh6EbwJa4p1Ai2owgX9nUOMusr3_R_PUyxDmGyliCanDjOcJCCXLc5BmRl8aoPWawzj3GUWw9sRI11eQcND7pCRot5RTnb7aGnH_PGfPGuRfhg-T8nc2DkzzwrD5ikG3/s1600/shutterstock_337520018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuQORRBFLPaOyqh6EbwJa4p1Ai2owgX9nUOMusr3_R_PUyxDmGyliCanDjOcJCCXLc5BmRl8aoPWawzj3GUWw9sRI11eQcND7pCRot5RTnb7aGnH_PGfPGuRfhg-T8nc2DkzzwrD5ikG3/s400/shutterstock_337520018.jpg" width="400" /></a>7. Dogs and humans have the same type of slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) and during this REM stage dogs can dream. The twitching and paw movements that occur during their sleep are signs that your pet is dreaming.<br />
<div>
<br />
8. 45% of dogs sleep in their owner’s bed (we’re pretty sure a large percentage also hog the blankets!).</div>
<div>
<br />
9. Dogs curl up in a ball when they sleep due to an age-old instinct to keep themselves warm and protect their abdomen and vital organs from predators.<br />
<br />
10. Dogs are not colorblind. They are able to detect color in their vision, just not as vividly as humans.<br />
<br />
11. More dogs are called Max, Jake, Maggie or Molly than any other pet names.<br />
<br />

It's a time of the year when the whole family gets together to grill out, spend some much needed time bonding, and shooting off or watching a professional fireworks show. While we do consider our pets to be family members, this is probably not a celebration that you want to try to involve your dog in. After all, more dogs are reported to be lost on Fourth of July than any other day of the year. Put simply, dogs just do not appreciate fireworks like we do. So this week, the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> wants to offer some tips to keep your beloved dog safe and happy this Independence Day.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhComDtASMXpK5z4hvPMpXJ-bp-Dni22r-Da0qBjfXmi6Ikgmjm3IGK_fZZAsW1B18IBlCRiaJRPzb5L8EpxSFp23Mk5u7baxDKCrFgym-zCWA29DwkiudmeVYzrY9VT0OKs5qoWIC8tPbj/s1600/shutterstock_541267552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhComDtASMXpK5z4hvPMpXJ-bp-Dni22r-Da0qBjfXmi6Ikgmjm3IGK_fZZAsW1B18IBlCRiaJRPzb5L8EpxSFp23Mk5u7baxDKCrFgym-zCWA29DwkiudmeVYzrY9VT0OKs5qoWIC8tPbj/s640/shutterstock_541267552.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
PREPARE IN ADVANCE</div>
<div>
Before the big celebration comes, make sure you're prepared. Update your dog's identity tags and make sure they're secured properly to his collar so as not to easily fall off. If your dog is chipped, make sure the contact information is updated so if your dog does get loose and is found, a vet clinic or shelter is able to reach you. If you do not have a safe, quiet place for your dog to be during the festivities, make arrangements for him to be boarded for the night. </div>
<br />
HOSTING FESTIVITIES AT HOME<br />
If you're planning to keep him home and holding festivities there, set up your dog's crate in a quiet location in your home that is set away from traffic and noise. When scared of sounds they can’t orient, they'll feel safer hiding out in their crate or on their comfy <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">premium raised dog bed</a>. If possible, keep the windows and curtains closed. Covering the crate or lowering the blinds can also be helpful. Removing visual stimulation can also help calm dogs. It's best to keep your dog in a room where the door can be closed and nobody will enter. If your dog gets out and sees an opportunity to jet, he may take off down the road.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ATTENDING FIREWORKS SHOWS</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjosPwOJIwA8Tdcxa3FmINwSfU9UMQ-78sGebD8J-kn9HyqUxiOmiup_0_3NZsy-ncM2MB5erFJoGINa2sYlCkg4aJaoIFgjPpKB0mK4Ji0FMHdungL1HbSDiDdLl-zlvLqNwNDCvPZA9VK/s1600/pad+in+cage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjosPwOJIwA8Tdcxa3FmINwSfU9UMQ-78sGebD8J-kn9HyqUxiOmiup_0_3NZsy-ncM2MB5erFJoGINa2sYlCkg4aJaoIFgjPpKB0mK4Ji0FMHdungL1HbSDiDdLl-zlvLqNwNDCvPZA9VK/s400/pad+in+cage.jpg" width="300" /></a>If you're planning to attend a fireworks show away from home, leave your dog at home. While it may feel like you're leaving him out of the fun, you're actually doing him a favor by not bringing him somewhere he'll become scared easily and won't have a safe place to go. Not to mention, it'll likely be pretty warm outdoors and your furry buddy would much rather enjoy the evening in the comfort of his own home in A/C. Be sure to leave your dog with plenty of toys to keep him busy. If he does become anxious from the fireworks going off around the neighborhood he'll have something to focus his energy on other than your furnishings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dogs are instinctively flight animals. They'll want to run and hide from the loud noises of ongoing fireworks. As much as you would like to include your dog in the holiday festivities, sometimes it's just best to leave your dog at home where he will be safe. By using these tips for this Fourth of July, you'll prevent your dog from becoming another statistic for dogs that are lost during this holiday. While your dog is hanging out in his safe place, he'll need a comfortable place to rest his head. Don't forget to order your pooch a <a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">premium raised dog bed</a> or a <a href="https://petcot.com/products/water-proof-crate-pad-7-sizes" target="_blank">waterproof crate pad</a> from <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot</a>!<br />

Dog beds are extremely important. In fact, we consider beds essential for all dogs regardless of size, breed, or age. Pet beds provide more than a place to rest their heads, they provide security. While many people think that their dogs can curl up on the floor, in many cases that isn't the most ideal option for your furry friend. Here are a few reasons that a <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">PetCot</a> bed will benefit your pup's life.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>A PLACE OF THEIR OWN</b><br />
Sometimes your pet just wants a place that they can call their own, especially if you have more than one. A pet provides them that place where they can nap peacefully, re energize from a long day, or even go when they're scared. Our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=cat1">premium raised dog beds</a> come in many sizes, so your dog will have the space they need to spread out and get comfortable.<br />
<br />
Another thing to note, is that giving your dog a place to sleep can help keep him from sleeping in the areas that you don't want him to. If your bed, and the couch are off limits, he needs a place that he can call his own without laying claim to your spots. To make sure that he'll use it though, you have to make sure and get the right size.<br />
<br />
<b>SUPER EASY TO CLEAN</b><br />
Just like humans, dogs can be rather messy. The dander, dog hair, sweat and drool can often cause their beds to be disgusting. A PetCot bed is easy to clean, so that you don't have to worry about what is living inside that plush bedding. The suspended bed also allows for plenty of air movement, so your pet is always getting plenty of air, and the bed can fully dry out when they are not using it. We have many accessories you can pair with your PetCot bed to make it even cleaner for your pet.<br />
<br />
A dog bed can also help keep your home clean! By giving your pet a place to sleep and rest, not only will it keep them off of your couch and bed, but it can limit the amount of hair that gets on your furniture as well. It's much easier to take the cover off of a PetCot bed than it is to wash, vacuum, or roller your entire living room set. Purchase one of our <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3928">easy to clean pet beds</a> today and see how much faster it is to keep your area clean!<br />
<br />
<b>PROMOTES GOOD HEALTH</b><br />

Anything from joint issues to hip pains can all be even more painful without the proper tools. A PetCot bed gives them a place to lay down and take the pressure off of their aching joints. While our beds are perfectly designed so that even your older dog won't have trouble getting off of it, we also sell accessories to make it even more comfortable for them. We offer an <a href="http://www.petcot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PETCOT&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ORTHOPEDIC_PAD">orthopedic dog bed</a> insert that is made specifically for your PetCot, and your older dog in mind. The extra foam will ease aches and pains, making recovery easier.<br />
<br />
<b>MADE WITH CONVENIENCE IN MIND</b><br />
Our beds were made to fill a need in the pet bed industry. They are fully assembled when you receive them and ready to use immediately. Our pet beds are also stackable, so if you have several of them and need to store them for a short period, or travel with them, they will be more convenient. If you are ready to join the PetCot family and learn how our beds will improve your pet's life, order online today!<br />

And of course, you don't want to leave Sparky behind - after all, your pets are family too, right? While we always want to include our fur babies in family fun, it's important to remember that all that fur may not mix well with the warmer temperatures of summer. So, this week the <a href="https://petcot.com/" target="_blank">PetCot Company</a> has decided to share with you 8 tips to keep your furry buddy cool while enjoying summer fun with the family:<br />

<h4>
1. Don’t leave your pet in an unattended vehicle. </h4>
<div>
On a 75-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can climb up to 115 degrees within an hour. Even with the windows down, a dog can easily overheat if left in these conditions. If you need to run errands and don't feel comfortable leaving your dog home alone take it to a doggy day care. It’ll save you the trouble of worrying about your dog while you’re out.<br />
<br />
<h4>
2. Avoid walking on hot surfaces like asphalt. </h4>
</div>
<div>
Your pup’s paws can be as sensitive as the soles of your feet. If the asphalt is too hot for you to walk on, chances are it’s too hot for your pup too. On a walk, try to alternate between asphalt, sidewalk, and grass so that your dog’s delicate paws don’t get overheated. If your dog is particularly sensitive, cover his paws with pet booties so he can stroll comfortably.<br />
<br />
<h4>
3. Supply lots of fresh, clean water. </h4>
</div>
<div>
Some dogs get a bit finicky with their water if there’s an odd scent in the bowl or if it’s been warming up in the sun for a while. Keeping a fresh, clean supply of H2O in your dog’s dish will ensure that your pup drinks more often and stays hydrated.<br />
<br />
<div>
<h4>
4. Don’t overexercise pets. </h4>
</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1OmWozq5cfxDDXAQitQnPr4Qlv1VRkDBwal1pRv-79CqAH93RFED5l6rXzj73RUPekeV6WPEN0AFsPFBh658IMV0sl9nb341pst8IU2O1JL5o3w9Gg1DcFSYK2pXq_G0JqxgZoLVjYrrM/s1600/18767377_1340466736021472_5461755118458121287_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="483" data-original-width="724" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1OmWozq5cfxDDXAQitQnPr4Qlv1VRkDBwal1pRv-79CqAH93RFED5l6rXzj73RUPekeV6WPEN0AFsPFBh658IMV0sl9nb341pst8IU2O1JL5o3w9Gg1DcFSYK2pXq_G0JqxgZoLVjYrrM/s400/18767377_1340466736021472_5461755118458121287_n.jpg" width="400" /></a>Dogs don’t always know their own limits. If you can tell your dog is breathing more rapidly or having some trouble chasing after a ball, slow things down and allow him to cool off. Outdoor activities are great but, instead of playing in the blazing afternoon sun, try tossing a ball around as the sun is setting.<br />
<br /></div>
<h4>
5. Leave your dog at home on hot days.</h4>
</div>
<div>
Going to the beach and sitting out all day in the sun is something we humans enjoy, but it can leave pooches severely dehydrated. Even if you feel like the heat is bearable, remember, when dogs are exposed to moderately high temperatures over an extended period of time, their bodies might be unable to cool down.</div>
<div>
<br />
<h4>
6. Watch for signs of dehydration.</h4>
Dogs can't sweat. They cool off by panting, so an overheated dog will drool excessively. It will become lethargic, its eyes will be bloodshot, and it may appear a little pale. If you lift its skin, it will take longer than usual for the skin to fall back into place.<br />
<br />
<h4>
7. Take your dog swimming.</h4>
The best activity you can do in summertime or hot weather is swimming. Instead of walking the dog, take the dog on a swim! If you hold on and allow your dog to take you around the pool, it becomes a powerful bonding experience for the two of you, similar to the walk.</div>
<br />
<h4>
8. Get your dog a raised bed. </h4>
<a href="https://petcot.com/collections/dog-beds-for-home" target="_blank">PetCot raised dog beds</a> provide optimal comfort and support for dogs (and other pets) of all sizes. Our unique elevated dog bed allows your pet to rest easy while maintaining a comfortable body temperature all around. Durable and breathable, it provides dogs with a healthy, cool environment. <br />
