dagwood.jpgMost shelters and rescue organizations in urban areas now require spay and neuter education which has results in educated public and decrease in numbers of animals. Shelters have now found the drop in number of puppies and kittens in the urban area. The result being that they barely have them available for adoption. The shelters have begun bringing them in from less fortunate outlying regions  to supply the demand. This would help take the pressure off other areas.

The number of dogs and cats entering the shelters each year is 6-8 million. Number of dogs and cats euthanized by shelters is 3-4 million but the number being adopted is 3-4 million. These statistics alone give you an idea of the number entering the shelters. The number of shelters  in U.S. is between 4000 to 6000.

Most people think of going to a pet store for purebred dogs but they can be found at times right at the shelter. There is about 25% right in the shelters to pick from and they have their shots, being checked for health, behaviour problems etc. Shelters are a good place to find a purebred pet.  

The number of dogs and cats reclaimed by owners from shelters each year is between 600,000 and 750,000 which is about 15-30 % of dogs and 2-5 % of cats entering the shelter.

These statistics alone give you an indication of the number of dogs and cats moving around and through the shelters. These animals may or may not have had a home but the idea they are still out there needing attention, care and the best from owners. Pet owners can always find an pet to love from the shelter giving it only the best.

Pmemorial pet urnsets it seems are stress reduces. The presense of animals can reduce stress levels. The care and personality of your pets can take peoples minds off the pressure and everyday living problems. Pets also involve care therefore helping  people to get so involved with their pets they no longer are reminded of thier problems. Animals help a person get involved in another life than their work one or  relationship. Therefore you become close with your pet because of this stress reduction and form a intimate bond. You end up  treating your pet as a family member. Therefore when it comes time when your pet is no longer in the best of health that you may choose creamtion and choose a cremation pet urn. A pet urn that relates to how you feel and how your pet related to you. This even can be a stress reduction because of the good times you can remember with your pet. A memorial pet cremation urn in the form of a  garden grave memorial marker to mark your pet’s favourte spot can help a person feel better.

Only you know what kind of bond you and your pet have. A personal intimate bond can be formed with your pet simpy because you care about them and thier needs instead of your own. A pet and his owner has no better bond.

Hot days of summer

  • Always leave your pet  (dog or cat) lots of cold water to avoid dehydration

  •  The heat and evaporation can make water disappear quickly so check water bowls frequently.

  • Outdoor feedings be sure to remember not to leave food sitting in the sun.

  •  The best time for feedings is early morning when it is cooler then remove the bowl.

  •  Pet food exposed to the sun can cause serious internal health problems

 Look after your pet dog, cat, ferret, rabbit family pet for where ever they may be with your pet.

Classy Pet Urn

I h4215p.jpgwasn’t sure what I was looking for when I started shopping on the net for a pet cremation urn. There was just something  not quite right about alot of the sites and what they offered. I knew when I stumbled onto your site that it was the right one. You had so much to offer with the 30 day guarantee, no tax, free shipping, quality  cremation pet urns, discounts  and pet loss support. The one thing you offered no other site did was you cared, you showed respect and you knew how we felt. Your pet cremation urns were of a large variety and price for everyone. I took my time choosing-asking you alot of questions and I know when I was done that I not only found the right pet urn for my pet but  that I felt comfortable with what I had purchased. You made me feel assured that I found the right people to deal with.  My final pet cremation urn I chose was this beautiful Leaf Heart Cremation Pet Urn. It came in its own box all set and ready to go for a gift if I had wanted to give it away.

Perfect Pet Memorial Urn

   oak9p.jpg If you are looking for a Pet Cremation Urn that is amag9.jpgmag9.jpgttractive, stylish, that  can be made personal then the Oak or Mahogany Wood Photo Pet Cremation Urn would be perfect for you.  They come in two sizes in two choices of finishes that make either very attractive.  The real catcher to these pet urns is the fact you can place your beloved pet’s picture right in the front of the urn where everyone can be remined of how loveable your pet was. Your best picture can be used and you can purchase a plate to put your pet’s name and dates on it as a reminder of their life. The cost is quite reasonable for anyone.

I thought this would  make a beautiful gift to my nephew who had lost his dog and still hadn’t got around to purchasing a dog pet urn. He was pleased with the whole idea knowing he could pick out the best picture of his dog  and decide what he wanted written on the plate. These wood photo pet urns make nice gifts to someone to simply show you care about them and their pet loss.  Great ideas for gifts and affordable.

Bust Dog Urn- Presentation

Dog Bust Urn PresentationDear Owner:

 I purchased the Dog Bust Urn for a friend who has  showdogs and one particular who was honoured recently at a banquet. This dog won ribbons for the best performance all his life and was quite the dog to my friend. In fact he was the first dog that started her career as a show person at shows. She was paid tribute to in our home town for her personality, career and dedication. This Dog Bust Urn was heavy duty that would stand up to a lifetime of wards and was  part of the presentation to her in honour for all her work. We had an engraved plate done for it to make it more of a personal gift. Even though the dog that started her career had past away many months ago he was honoured with this decorative pet urn for being so smart and dedicated animal with his name engraved right on the pet urn along  side of the name of the award to  her.

This Dog Bust Urn was indeed a great gift to a give for an honour she was accepting. It will be something she, I am sure, will be proud to pass to the next recipiant of such an award. 

Many thanks again for the service and the help in getting the order to me in time for the presentation.

When is it a Good Time to Get a New Pet?Getting a new pet before you have had time to work through your grief can cause problems for both you and the pet.  It’s probably not best to get a new cat or dog as soon as you wiped the first bit of dust off of those pet urns.

So when is the right time? There’s no easy answer.  Only you know when too soon is actually too soon.  It may help to talk to your friends and family and maybe you can get a sense of when you’re ready to start anew.
