buying a bird that is CITES listed

parrotlady22 — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 16:24:02 GMT

remember that certain endangered species of birds are listed and need proper documentation CITES before being bought and sold if not then you new parrot could be an import which means the parents of the chick were most probably battered to death-i kid you not or stolen from an nest, it also helps if your bird is rung as this can identify the breeder,though in a lot of cases an older birds ring can be worn away so therefore you cannot see the numbers and letters which could be hard to identify ...

WARNING ABOUT BYB

pampurredpuss — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 22:03:07 GMT

BYB [i]In other words - Back Yard Breeders.

These people think by throwing two cats together they are going to make money. Unfortunately, they do, because they sell cats cheap that are too young to be seperated from their mother, haven't been vet checked or had any inoculations, usually not litter tray trained and in poor health.

Before you consider buying one of these cheap cats read the advice below -

NEVER buy a new pet without visiting it first

What is this petition about?

Many Breeds and crossbreeds of dogs come within the vague DEFRA guidelines that describe the type known as the American Pit bull Terrier and other breeds deemed illegal under sec 1 of the dda. The legislation is based mainly on how a dog looks and not on its behaviour, we are campaigning for the index (Closed in 1990) to be re opened so that owners of dogs who may be deemed type can register ...

TINS of pet food are better for you than many fast food meals, boffins have discovered.

Loads of pet food brands scored better than dishes served by High Street chains in research to measure fat, salt and sugar levels.

Nutrition experts discovered that Gourmet Gold cat food has just 2.9g of fat per 100g ? a mouth-watering EIGHT TIMES less than the percentage found in pieces of KFC.

The level of fat was also far lower than a McDonald�s Big Mac and a Pizza Hut meal.

Facts About Feeding Dogs

Robin — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:13:21 GMT

Facts about Feeding Dogs

Milk is a food and not a substitute for water. As a food, milk is incomplete and does not provide a balanced diet. It can be useful as a treat for some dogs, however, large quantities of milk may not be well tolerated. Milk contains lactose, which requires the enzyme lactase for breakdown in the intestinal tract. If the intestinal tract does not contain sufficient lactase, consumption of a high level of lactose can cause diarrhoea in some pets.

What is Your Pet Really Eating

Robin — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:02:08 GMT

What is Your Pet Really Eating?

With a wide range of pet foods on the market it can be difficult to know exactly which one is best for your dog or cat. Supermarkets and large pet stores offer a huge choice of competing brands and consumers are bombarded with television advertisements, glossy packaging and confusing terms like 'dentalcare', 'lifecare' or 'gluten free'. Therefore, are you really choosing the best food for your pet? Are you buying good, quality ingredients, appropriate to your ...

FEEDING

Mummys boys — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:22:50 GMT

What you feed your dog is a very important part of pet care. Proper nutrition is essential to keep your dog healthy and to ward off and manage diseases. Commercial pet foods vary in their nutritional values. Remember, more expensive does not always mean the food is of a higher quality.

Read the label - pet food ingredients are listed in much the same way as human foods, showing percentages of each ingredient. It is the proportion of all nutrients and ingredients (including water) that determines ...

Neutering - Spaying and Castration

Mummys boys — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:23:48 GMT

Neutering - Spaying and Castration

In female dogs, spaying will of course stop unwanted pregnancies but is also carried out for a number of other reasons such as cases where phantom pregnancies are a problem for the bitch. Intact bitches also seem to be at increased risk of cancers and infections. An intact bitch who is not mated has been shown to carry an increased risk of pyometra (uterine infection) with each season she experiences. Other research has looked at reported increased risks ...

TOILET TRAINING

Mummys boys — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:20:19 GMT

Your puppy may have been using paper to toilet on while in the nest and then put outside when he wakes, after he has just eaten or been playing for a while. Once you have brought him home you will need to continue his training. Remember he is now in a new house and will have to learn where your back door is!

Follow the same pattern of taking puppy outside after waking, eating, playing or if he just hasn't been outside for an hour or so. If he stops what he�s doing or sniffs the ground, ...

puppy proofing your home

Mummys boys — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:18:30 GMT

Indoors

Know which plants are toxic and place them out of reach, or replace them with non-toxic plants. Toxic plants commonly found indoors include dieffenbachia, azalea, Calla lily, and philodendron.

Keep all medications, including any dog supplements, in a safe area the puppy cannot access. Do not leave vitamins or other pills out on the kitchen worktop or table. A determined chewer can make short work of a plastic container. Puppies are surprisingly quick at pulling things ...

Crate Training

Mummys boys — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:17:23 GMT

Step 1: Introducing Your Dog to the Crate

Place the crate in an area of your house where the family spends a lot of time, such as the family room. Put a soft blanket or towel in the crate. Bring your dog over to the crate and talk to him in a happy tone of voice. Make sure the crate door is open and secured so that it won't hit your dog and frighten him.

To encourage your dog to enter the crate, drop some small food treats nearby, then just inside the door, and finally, all the way inside ...

birds for rehoming

parrotlady22 — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 16:08:32 GMT

birds for rehoming (free of charge) if you going to advertise for free of charge adoption do not ask for money later- fuel money is fair but asking someone for more is not fair- remember that a bird that is being rehomed for free can quite often have problems make sure that you are able to cope with it to begin with or so a very large cycle begins of selling a bird on which of course very traumatic for bird involved

Where do pets come from?

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love ...
