Finding The Best Pet Deals For Dogs and Cats

Where to find pet deals

After searching many different websites for savings dog beds, leads and cat litter etc... We have managed to find a great little site that is dedicated to offering money off supplies for your furry friends.

Pawsify.com is a dedicated pet deals site that offers daily deals on dog supplies, cat supplies and small animal supplies. After looking through their website we found that they had a wide range of products and gadgets to choose from.

How much can you save?

Pawsify say that owners can save up to 80% off pet supplies, but we found around 35 - 60% is more realistic. What's also worth noting is that they offer free delivery on all their products for most countries such as UK, USA and Europe. 

For example on some of the deals we managed to find a luxury dog bed for 55% off, a cat collar for 37% off and a leather dog collar for 47% off. Most of the dog collars are around £7 (or $5 for the US).

Tips for Shopping For Pet Deals

When searching online for any pet deals we recommend the following to beat others to finding the savings before you:

• Sign up to the companies email list (this way you will be one of the first to receive the deals)
• If you see a saving you like grab it before it's gone!

Marina 360 Aquarium

A Cute Aquarium Fit for Home and Office

When decided to have a cute aquarium in my home, my choice ended up with Marina 360 aquarium. It took me a lot of search through online to find it right by reading customer reviews and blogs. I do get the right pet store, which offered me the least price, which I never expected. I really thanks for the online reviews about the latest Marina aquarium. I brought it for its cute looks. It may bring good health or fortune is not important. What matters is it is a desktop tank, which suits my home perfectly as a decorative item. It is color full by adding few extra stuff like the sand, water plants, small piece of seashells and rocks. Its cylindrical shape does give a perfect illusion effects in daytime and in the nighttime with dim light present inside this aquarium. All together it is best for family to place anywhere in my home and at my work place or office too. Since it looks cool and provides me a peace of mind while watching aquatic life in a Marina 360 aquarium.

When comes to price, the online store are the best option to buy Marina 360 aquarium at discounted price. Since, they provide free shipment anywhere in USA and other countries too. Hence, I saved a lot and brought few sea foods meant for color fishes and few fish tank accessories like heater and filter.

The maintenance part is very simple to handle. The top plastic lid is fully open-able to reach its bottom level. It is a 10 litter’s fish tank attached with a filter and a water heater. The automatic filter do a perfect cleaning job and you I need to clean very rarely only when comes to clean the decorative items placed inside the bottom of my Marina 360 aquarium. The filter automatically recycles the water by extracting the wastes separately. The filters are also place on the top of this aquarium and it is easy to remove and clean them. I use heater in the nighttime only and are best with controlled temperature good for aquatic life present in my aquarium.

The style and designs are very cute. The LED lighting is fascinating in day and night time. The LED setting is of custom design and when I brought, I found a white and red LED bulb inside the tank.  It is best fit for decorative fishes of smaller size, since they look little bigger due to its cylindrical shape in few angles. However, they are not much of total internal reflection and the fish are view to be in their right shape than a convex image. This is one of the excellent cylindrical aquariums to have clear looks without the total internal reflection effects. I recommend Marina 360 aquarium for small families, as they are maintenance free. My choice to select this cylindrical fish tank was good enough to place in my home as aquatic decorative item.

Dog breed information on greyhounds including videos and pictures

The ultimate running dog, the greyhound is built for speed. Its long arched back and legs empower it to extend and contract maximally while doing the double-suspension gallop. It has great muscle tissue and light legs, further enhancing speed. The feet are long and narrow, giving maximum influence. The long tail serves as a rudder and brake when running at high speed. The coat is short and smooth. Two sorts of greyhounds are available: AKC (show) and NGA (racing). Retired NGA greyhounds are sturdier, smaller and faster than show dogs and might be more prone to pursue small creatures.

About greyhounds

The Greyhound is devoted and brave. Intelligent, caring, capturing and laid back, its character is generally undervalued because of its reserved conduct toward strangers and also its master. Greyhounds are sensitive to the tone of one's voice and aren't going to listen if they sense they are stronger minded than their owner, however they will also not react well to harsh discipline. Owners have to be serene, yet possess an air of natural authority. Socialize nicely to avoid timidity. As a rule, they're even-tempered and tender --both racing lines and show lines. Most Greyhounds get a certain prey drive. It's instinctive for these dogs to chase something that goes fast. They are extremely rapidly plus some will kill cats as well as other domestic animals, while this is not the bulk (just about 20% of ex-racers are overly "exquisite" on chasing prey to ever be safe with little animals). About 10% are instantly okay because of low prey instinct, as well as the others can be trained to leave cats and other little pets in the house alone. They infrequently present problems with several other dogs and are normally good with kids, though they do not ordinarily enjoy roughhouse play, and would not be a great option for young children who are seeking a playmate. Inside, these dogs are calm and sociable to some point at the place where they could even be looked at lazy. They bond strongly with their own people, have tremendous stamina, and don't bark much. Show lines are usually of a different body style than racing lines, and are often more angulated. Greyhounds aren't particularly alert. Show lines are usually bred more for temperament and a bit heavier than racing lines, which are bred for speed. Nonetheless, racing lines additionally make terrific pets. There are numerous adoption groups all over North America, Europe and Australia to put these tender, loving dogs when they retire. The Greyhound needs an even tempered, tender but firm loving owner who understands how to consistently communicate the tenets of the house. A Greyhound that knows his location in his own pack and what's expected of him is a joyful Greyhound.

Take a look at the greyhound information video below:


How much exercise do greyhounds need?

Greyhounds that are kept as pets should have regular opportunities to run free on open ground in a safe area, in addition to daily long, brisk walks, where the dog is got to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead. In a dog's head the leader heads the way and that leader must be the individual. Greyhounds adore a regular routine.

Can you teach your hamster tricks

Hamster are a ball of fun, but can you really teach your hamster tricks? Well it's true you can really teach your hamster a few basic tricks but you need lots of time and patience. Below are just a few simple tricks people have trained their hamsters.

Teaching your hamster to stand

To do this requires treats (and lots of them!) simply hold a treat over the hamsters head whilst stand (or which ever command you want to use). This can take a considerable amount of time but after a while your hamster should be able to stand on his own when you say stand.

With a few changes to this method you can also train your hamster to jump simply by raising your treat above his head and saying "jump" when he jumps for the treat.

Teach your hamster to climb

This comes natural to most hamsters, but did you know hamster can climb stairs? To train your hamster to climb your stairs (or other objects) just place some treats above each step. This will then encourage your hamster to climb the step (if he hasn't already)

Guide through a hoop

If you have a small hoop you can train your hamster to go through it (and even jump through it when he has experience). Many hamsters can do this without the aid of treats just by putting the hoop in front of him, as you do this a few times try raising the hoop (only slightly) to see him jump it.

Hamsters are really fun creatures and can be trained many basic tricks. Have you trained your hamster any tricks? The team at The Pet News would love to see your pictures/videos! send us your links and pictures in the link below or on our Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus and we may even show them on our website.
