Ideas For Pet Lover

Moving house can significantly affect your dog. Dogs are creatures of routine and familiarity, so a change in environment can be distressing. They may experience stress, anxiety, and confusion as they adapt to a new home and surroundings. Behavioral changes such as increased barking, whining, or even aggression can occur. Additionally, dogs might become disoriented, increasing the risk of escape or getting lost. Their physical health can also be impacted, with stress potentially leading to digestive issues or a weakened immune system. To help your dog adjust, maintain their routine as much as possible, introduce them gradually to the new home, and provide extra attention and reassurance during this transition period. https://www.betterremovalistsbrisbane.com.au/can-moving-house-affect-your-dog/

 The wide variety of certifications, ethical processes, and trends in sustainable food can make finding the best chow for your pet tricky, even for professionals. We spoke to Gudrun Ravetz, chair of the UK sustainable pet food volunteer organizing Vet Sustain, for guidance. “It’s tricky, doing the right thing,” Ravetz told The Spruce Pets. “Ultimately, pets are a massive part of a family, but they are very much a luxury in one sense. It’s right that we try to mitigate their carbon paw print in whatever way that we can, and pet food is the biggest one.”  To find the best sustainable pet food brands, we not only consulted with experts like Ravetz, but also dove into environmental impact studies, and comparative data from a wide variety of popular and bestselling dog and cat food brands. We sought out pet food brands that use organic, sustainable ingredients that are properly sourced and well-balanced nutritionally, looking in particular for manufacturers that employ eco-friendly...

Maintaining a spotless home with pets requires strategic efforts. Begin by establishing a regular cleaning routine, encompassing daily tasks like vacuuming pet hair and sweeping floors. Invest in quality vacuum cleaners with pet-specific attachments to efficiently capture loose fur. Employ washable covers for furniture and limit pet access to certain areas. Regularly groom pets to minimize shedding, and employ designated feeding and play areas. Use pet-friendly cleaning products to remove stains and odors, and wash pet bedding frequently. Consistency in cleanliness and pet care not only preserves a clean home but also ensures a healthy and harmonious environment for both you and your furry companions. https://www.bondcleaninginperth.com.au/how-to-keep-your-house-super-clean-with-pets/

 The live sheep export trade is cruel and unfixable. For every one of the thousands of sheep sent abroad, there are just too many potential welfare risks. Even if the exporters are able to partially address one or some of them, the trade remains beyond salvation. And the live sheep exporters have tried in vain to convince us otherwise, with claims of improvement and overt attempts to undermine facts and science. However, what simply can’t be fixed are the poor conditions and extremely poor welfare impacts experienced by the sheep, not just onboard (which are bad enough) but throughout the entire live export process. Like any animal, the welfare of sheep is multifaceted and includes physical and mental aspects and the ability to cope with their environment. The cumulative effect of the numerous stressors sheep destined for the live export trade risk enduring wear down their wellbeing at an alarming rate, and while not every sheep will experience every single stressor or welfare risk...

 Every time the live sheep exporters face criticism (which is often), we see the same old response.We’ve changed, they say. They’re not the industry they once were. They’ve pulled their socks up and started to take animal welfare seriously, and the dark days of animal welfare disasters on board live export ships are over. Just give us one more chance, they say, and see how much better we can do. Sounds great, right? Pity it’s not true.the truth is that we’ve been hearing “we’ve changed” for decades.  And the truth is that very little has changed, other than the PR tactics. We’ve seen carefully stage-managed ‘open house’ tours on a stationary boat in Fremantle Harbour (before it has even commenced the arduous journey … ) We’ve seen one solitary on-board journalist, permitted on a meticulously performed journey, at the coolest time of the year … and to the objective viewer, even that looked awful. https://www.rspca.org.au/blog/2023/ship-has-well-and-truly-sailed-live-sheep-expor...
