Live Longer - Get a Pet! |
 |
|
 By Ed Kostro
Recent studies at UCLA have found that pet ownership corresponds to overall better health, both physical and emotional, and far fewer medical visits – as many as 21 percent fewer trips to the doctor.
Dogs
Whether we walk our dogs because they need it, or because we enjoy a walk more when we have some companionship, dog owners tend to do far more walking than non-pet owners. And, because exercise is beneficial for stress management and overall health, owning a dog can be credited with increasing these health benefits.

Nina Ottosson Smart Toys |
|
|
 At first glance, the Nina Ottosson toys don't really seem like toys my dogs would be all that interested in. They aren't very cuddly, they are interesting looking, but don't seem like something my pets would take too right away. However, after bringing a few into the house to try out, I have to say I'm a believer.
The theory behind the products is that dogs are predators. Duh, right? But it's a fact that we often forget when it comes to feeding our pets. Dogs like to earn things- including their food. Make it too easy and they don't "earn" their food.
Like most humans.
Let's face it - some of us are hunters, others are gatherers. Dogs are hunters. Yep - even the frou-frou dog who wears little dresses and the Labrador who fetches slippers.

Nature's Variety Expands Recall |
|
|
 Nature's Variety has expanded its voluntary recall of Chicken Formula Raw Frozen Diets for dogs and cats to include the "Best If Used By" dates of 10/29/10 and 11/9/10 because these products may be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect animals and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products. People handling pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to these products.

JellyQuarium? |
|
|
 Looking for a new, very different type of aquarium? You may just want to check out the Jelliquarium. That's right. Live jellyfish on your desktop that you can spend hours just watching.
The 32" Jelliquarium Buccaneer Oak series is a freestanding home jellyfish tank that looks a little more humane and sturdier than the smaller models. You can view this at the Jellyquarium and purchase the tank for the low price of $9,560. (Yes, we're joking about the low price, not about the tank).
If you're looking for something a little smaller, you can purchase a desktop model for around $300 - not including the 2" Blue Jellyfish that you'll also need to make your tank complete. Take a look at these at JellyFishArt. According to the website, it takes only an hour or to set up the tank and jellyfish can be added right away.

Big Cat Feline Furniture |
|
|
 UPDATE: Watch the video on assembling this unit at the end of this article!
Right now, I’m watching my cog (that’s short for a cat who thinks she’s a dog), hang off the top level of our brand new, cutting edge, state-of-the-art, BigCat activity center. She’s doing this for a reason, and it’s to torture our very easy-going Tonkinese, Ghost, into abandoning his spot on the hammock of the second level. Mama-san, who has the most coveted place deep inside the cat condo, will be next on the cog’s list. Ultimately, a fight will break out between the three of them, and two more of our cats will move in for the prime position, prompting me to return to my computer and purchase several more furniture pieces from Feline Furniture in order to create a larger activity center.
And this is how it’s been since we incorporated the innovative new Big Cat Activity Center into our home – nonstop fun…
