Edgewater, NJ (PRWEB) June 3, 2009
A key element that has made the internet so popular from all walks of life is the ease of readily available information. The downside of this, however, is that anyone who’s had a tutorial of building a website can put whatever information they deem to be true or accurate, even if it’s not. Jim Murphy is aware of this, which is why the pet enthusiast has well-researched information and his own experiences as the guiding forces behind his new web venture www.YourPetsCount.com.
“I’ve been a pet lover for years,” Murphy explained. “When I look at some pet stores, it’s just stuff, which doesn’t make for the best overall resource. I wanted to create something that was useful and not just a shopping site.”
Murphy started Your Pets Count in March of 2009 and it’s well on its way to becoming one of the internet’s premiere destinations for pet information and products.
The new site has a comprehensive catalog as a wide selection of dog carriers, cat beds and even a self cleaning litter box are included in the web store. Even though the site is still in its infancy, Murphy is already thinking about expanding his product line and its features.
“I’m going to add extra products and keep it up to date,” he said. “I’d also like to add audio inserts with pet tips.”
An advocate for finding homes for abandoned pets, Murphy has also started a new blog, www.ThePetProductGuru.com, which further extends his vision of having as much information as products.
“I want to have information and links available that will help with pet care and emergencies,” he said.
As the site gains traction over the coming months, Murphy’s goal is to steadily provide information and items that will help with the overall comfort of a pet, which, in turn, will help people become better care takers.
“I want to make it unique and provide information and supplies. It’s the kind of website where they don’t have to jump around,” said Murphy. “I want to keep the information fresh and the people informed.”

Question by forallreals: What to buy for a new dog?
Tomorrow I’m adopting a german shepherd/collie mix from my local shelter. I’m going to petco afterwards and buying all the supplies he’ll need. So far, here’s my list:
-dog food
-treats
-toys
-leash
-collar
-crate/crate pad
-dog shampoo
-brush
-bowls
-mat for food/water bowls
Is this all I will need? And also, what toys would you suggest for him if he is only 6 months old and destroys anything that is stuffed?
Best answer:
Answer by croWnie
thank you for adpoting! u are a kind soul i believe instead of getting them at a puppy store.
i think you got the basics covered.
if you want to clip your new doggie nails, u should get a nail clipper too!
and because he is at his growing stage, he might tend to chew, maybe you can get a dog treat big bone to let him chew! it’ll sort of prevent him from chewing up shoes/newspaper and other stuff.
oh, my friend golden retriever, chews on lamb/beef bones for snack. they say it’s good for their fur. i’m not sure whether ur dog can eat, but you may ask the pet shelter later.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Dog Crate Buyers Guide
When dogs used to live in the wild, they needed a bolt hole for their own protection and peach of mind.
Throughout the years even though many breeds of dogs have been domesticated, they are still den animals and have a strong natural instinct to seek out a small, cosy place to rest for shelter and security. It is a place to make your dog or puppy feel safe, something to protect its back and yet still allows it to look around.
When used properly, crates are the fastest and most humane method of housebreaking dogs. Training a dog to use a crate encourages him to keep its home “clean” and never want to eliminate in its own bed. This can really aid toilet-training. How it works is that a crate acts on a dog’s instinct to keep its den clean and unsoiled.
Keeping your dog in a crate teaches him to “hold it” until he can go in an appropriate place, which helps your puppy develop his bladder control. A crate also promotes happiness in your dog as it feels secure and safe in its own “home”, therefore reducing behavioural problems such as excessive barking and chewing. A crate can also help break bad habits that improperly trained dogs may have developed over the years.
For older dogs, a crate functions as a “bedroom” where they can relax and escape the hustle and bustle of kids, other pets, and everyday family life.
Fabric, Metal or Plastic?
A lightweight fabric soft dog crate is suitable for crate-trained dogs. However they are not suitable for chewers, aggressive or nervous dogs. Plastic kennels are good for dogs that travel a lot and are generally the only method of containment accepted by airlines. Metal wire dog crates are ideal for home use.
They generally provide more room for the dog. They’re also sturdier, so should be able to stand up to your dog’s movement or activity and be able to last as your dog’s permanent “home”.
Whatever the make and design of the crate model, it should allow for proper ventilation and visibility, is durable and stable, has secure slide bolt latches for your dog’s safety, preferably has 2 doors for ease of access, can be folded or set up quickly especially for travel purposes and are well-coated (eg zinc or hard epoxy) for easier cleaning and anti-rust.
What size?
There is no correct size of dog crate for any particular breed. It depends on the size of your dog, the nature of each individual dog, and the amount of space you feel should be sufficient to allow your dog to rest and sleep in it comfortably and safely.
Your dog should be able to stand up straight legs inside the crate, turn around, and lie down in comfort. If the crate is too big, your puppy or dog will have enough room to soil one side and sleep on the other, which defeats the purpose of the crate.
Try to get a crate roomy enough to accommodate your dog’s full-grown size and get a divider panel. This way, you can keep using the same crate and have it “grow” along with your dog without upgrading the size several times.
What type of crate accessories can you get?
Toys and treats – always ensure that you have the appropriate toys and treats in the crate to keep your dog occupied and prevent your teething puppy from chewing on the crate’s metal bars or plastic panels.
Crate bedding – It is also important to purchase crate bedding for warmth and a crate cover is great for reducing the number of outside distractions your dog sees, which can reduce barking and stress in the crate.
Crate pad – a crate pad is more comfortable than the crate’s plastic pan.
A protection bumper – a bumper helps protect your puppy from injuries caused by chewing or leaning against the crate’s metal bars. This is also suitable for highly active dogs which tend to move around a lot in the crate.

While your dog is still a puppy, crate training and housebreaking are very important. Crate training means giving your dog a contained space where he can feel secure. You should be able to leave him there at night and when you leave the house. It will keep him safe and also keep the house safe from his scratching and chewing. Housebreaking, on the other hand, means toilet training your puppy to go only in a specific area or outdoors. Make sure to take him there at the appointed hours.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Choosing A Dog Crate That Is Right For Your Dog And Compliments Your Home Decor
I am amazed by how many people are unaware of the choices available today in their search for the right dog crate for their beloved dog.
When a lot of people think of a dog crate, the first thing that comes to mind is a wire dog crate. Today there are many alternatives to wire dog crates if you would prefer to have a more stylish crate. Although a wire dog crate can look aesthetically pleasing in your living area. Simply adding a dog crate cover can dress up your dog’s wire crate so it will blend in with your decor. There are colors of dog crate covers to compliment just about every decor.
Soft side dog crates are the most portable. They’re light weight and easy to transport. You can easily move from one room to another if you don’t want it to be seen by your guests. It’s easy to take along when you travel too. Most soft side dog crates fold away flat and many are stackable. These are not suitable for dogs with a history of chewing or puppies in the chewing stage. If you need a crate for your puppy, it’s best to start with a wire dog crate until you get to know his behavior patterns.
Wicker dog crates are another fine alternative to a wire crate. They are stylish and dogs love them. Most wicker crates boast an attractive rattan finish that also blends well in any decor. Rubber feet keep these dog crates in place and protect floor surfaces. Unfortunately, wicker dog crates are not suitable for puppies or dogs with a history of chewing. They will more than likely try to chew their way out of the wicker crate.
Aluminum designer pet den and dog crate furniture is another excellent alternative. Lovely aluminum dog crates make for unique dog beds that double as functional, attractive tables to fit your home decor. No more dog crate covers, these round puppy beds are sturdy end tables attractively designed to function as small dog beds and dog crates, making for stylish designer dog furniture that doubles as human furniture, too.
Another beautiful alternative to wire crates are wooden dog crates. Most of the wooden dog crates double as fine furniture. Most of them look just like end tables. In fact many are called dog crate end tables. They’re a stunning addition to your home and pet ownership. Most of your friends would be surprised when you tell them it’s actually a dog crate! I wouldn’t recommend wooden dog crates for puppies or dogs with a history of chewing. They will more than likely try to chew their way out and damage your fine piece of furniture. Then Rover will really be in the dog house!

Popular Dog Crate Pads
[wpzon keywords="dog crate pads"] [wpzon keywords="dog crate"]Substitute you Dog’s Kennel with a Dog Crate
Gift your dog an artificial kennel in form of a dog crate. It is a barred enclosure made of molded plastic or wires. Dog owners prefer using a dog crate to ensure safety and security of their pets. Once the dog is trained to live within a crate, it will soon feel comfortable and secure.
Do you think that cooping your dog in a crate is cruel? Although it seems cruel, a dog crate is the safest den for your pet. It prevents accidents when you are unable to supervise your pet. Keeping your pet in a crate protects your household items. Your pet is also safe from electric wires or sharp edged commodities. The dog crate should be kept in an open space so that the pet doesn’t suffer from suffocation.
What you should look for in a dog crate
Pet lovers are ready to invest substantial amounts to purchase a comfortable dwelling for their faithful friend. Dog crates are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Most crates come with a removable plastic tray for easy clean up. The crate must be spacious enough to allow your puppy to sit, stand erect, and stretch. Make sure that the crate has a washable pad for the pet to sleep on. The crate should have handles so that it can be moved from place to place. It’s easy to clean a plastic crate and they are allowed in planes.
How to choose the right dog crate
Your choice of dog crate depends on a number of factors. If the crate is only for indoor purpose, then the standard metal crate can be the right pick. But if you need to move around with your pet, then go for portable soft dog crates with collapsible carrying handles. If you have a growing puppy, then you need to buy a dog crate that comes with the facility of a divider panel which can be adjusted according to the growth of your pet. Some pet owners prefer soft crates for outdoor use. Soft crates are manufactured from water resistant canvas material.
Toys and treats in the crate will entice your pet to remain within the crate. But make sure that your pet doesn’t feel isolated from your family. It is the responsibility of the pet owners to make their pets realize that the crate is a place of warmth and comfort and not of confinement. Hence never use the dog crate to punish your pet.

Dog Crate Beds
A canine crate pad is an excellent addition to any pet crate. They offer a relaxing place for your pet to rest, and can be used outside the crate as well. You don’t even have to go and purchase a crate pad for your pet. You can just add your dog’s favorite pillows or blankets to the crate, or you can take a look at the truly amazing products created specifically for this purpose. Whatever option you end up picking, anything beats the cold hard floor of a puppy crate.
Getting a new pup can be a very exciting event for you and your family. With this addition comes a lot of responsibility and several items are necessary to get your new friend off to a great start. Having a new canine is not a walk in the park. They have needs that need to be met, and you don’t want to waste your time shopping for beds. The most important are sleeping through the night and potty training. You might find several tricks and tips as to what really is the best way to housebreak your dog. Dog crate training is far and away the most recommended method by any professional.
It’s a tried and true method, but not as easy as it seems, at least for the humans. The puppies will do fine. We live in our day to day busy lives, and often don’t have time to make this work. A new puppy must be let out of the crate every few hours. There are options for those of us who can’t always be there. Close friends and family members can come in handy, and there are pet services that can be hired to let your puppy dog out too. I am not a big fan of this option, but you can buy potty training pads to help out too. They do help some, and I occasionally use them if absolutely necessary, but they really smell bad and don’t teach your pup not to eliminate in the house. Crate training harnesses the natural den instinct in your dog to keep his den clean, and therefore, is far superior..Some people think that pet crates are cruel, but the puppy, however, does not. If used positively, it really becomes his den. By using a crate your new puppy cannot potty all over nor chew on your stuff. If you do it right, your puppy will sleep there during the night, and rest or sleep until you let him out. If the crate becomes the den, your puppy will not soil it, but there will be accidents. They always happen.
Now that you know why using a crate is a good idea, let’s get back to pet crate pads, and why they are a good idea. The hard floor of a crate, or just the floor in the house can cause damage to your pet’s joints. This will affect their sleep and daily activities. We want our pets to be around for a very long time, so let’s provide them some comfort from the start. One of the cheapest way to prevent harm is a dog crate bed. Not only are they affordable, but they are easy to clean as well. Dog crate beds are normally flat and can be purchased with various colors. Most have removable covers that can be washed in a machine. The beds are very versatile, and can be used in or out of the crates. They are perfect for the back of an SUV. There are many more reasons out there, but these are the most important things I look at when it comes to dog crate pads.

[wpzon keywords="dog crate pads"] [wpzon keywords="dog crate"]Question by Mandy B: My dog is crate trained but I work long hours. How do I get her to use puppy pads? She refuses to pee inside.?
I feel bad leaving her in the crate for so long. I don’t know what else to try. She just will not relieve herself in the house even on the pads.

Look for a doggy day care in your area. They’re great for dog owners who have to work long hours. You could also ask a friend or neighbor to come over once or twice and let the dog out.
