Preventic Tick Collar Considerations for Every Pet Owner
So you have found a few fleas and ticks on your pet cat or dogs. What does this mean? For most
pet-owners this means that parasite and disease-carrying fleas are inside your home and you need
to get rid of them, fast. One option you might want to consider is the Preventic Tick Collar that is
conveniently available for both cats and dogs.
Preventic Tick Collar Activation
To use the Preventic Tick Collar, you need to activate it. As a general rule, a Preventic Tick
Collar is used for protecting your pet from fleas and ticks. To use it, the first thing you need to do
is to pull the flea collar which will loosen and release chemicals in powder form.
Snug Fit
The tick and flea collar should be fastened to the neck of the animal. Mae sure there is a snug fit
by making a few adjustments. Naturally, also make sure that it is not too tight since this might
apply too much pressure around the neck of your pet.
Ticks and Fleas
When a flea or a tick jumps on your pet, it crawls through the hair to bite the skin. With the
chemicals that are within the fur, it gets into contact and eventually dies. This is not unlike the
way insect or bug spray kills household pets.
Anti-Flea and Tick Chemicals Released
The way the Preventic Tick Collar Works is that it brushes up against the neck of your pet cat or
dog and chemicals are released to the skin and fur. Within the hairs of your pet, chemicals are
distributed and lie within. As long as your pet wears the collar, there is a continuous release for
months. Periodically, a fresh Preventic Tick Collar should be applied for protection to be
maintained.
Effective
Preventic Tick Collar is more than effective in the control of ticks and fleas in your pet. This is
especially a good idea when you have more than one pet living in your home. Getting a flea
collar such as this one by Preventic may be the perfect solution for a flea-free household.
You can buy Preventic tick collars at leading only stores like www.VetShopAustralia.com.au

Doggy Goodies in the Mail
Recently we've seen a number of businesses offering dog products by subscription. And it seems that some just come and go, mainly because the quality of the products they supply aren't good, or the price is just to much.
The lastest addition is Gracie's Goodies and we have a feeling that this one might be different and we're hoping it will stay around for some time to come.
The Gracie's Goodies box of dog treats and toys is delivered to your home or office every month. and contains dog treats and toys carefully selected by Sue Dingwall, a fully qualified dogbehavioural trainer based in Sydney. Sue has carefully sourced toys that are unique and different to those you find in regular pet stores, while the food treats are sourced from Australian suppliers to ensure quality and origin of each product.
“When I started looking for treats and toys for my own dogs, I couldn’t find the right products to support the training I’d done with them,” Sue told us. “But as I started to build up a good selection of products, my clients began to ask for my recommendations.. That’s where the idea for Gracie’s Goodies was born. We’ve taken the research and hard work out of shopping for your dog, with this subscription-based box that offers variety every month.”
The team behind Gracie’s Goodies – Sue and her sister, Jane Wilde – are pitching the subscription service towards dog owners who either don’t have time to make repeat visits to pet stores to purchase treats and toys for their dog, and those owners who are baffled by the volume of choice and don’t know where to begin to select the right products. Gracie’s Goodies has done all the hard work for its human customers and their pets.
For clients who have recently welcomed a puppy into their home, Gracie’s Goodies offers the “cutie per tutti box”, which is tailored specifically for young puppies from 0-6 months. The product selection caters for puppies at each stage of their development and helps their owners avoid the confusion associated with
The boxes are tailored to suit different sized dogs, in three categories: small (0-10kg), medium (11-25kg) and large (25kg +). Subscription packages are offered for 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
As a new company founded by two women who care about ethically sourced products and have a track record of giving back to the community, Gracie’s Goodies is proud to sponsor a Delta Therapy Dog team,Val and Quis, as part of the red bandana program.
Having received our first box, we were impressed not just by the stylish packaging, but also the careful selection, with all the products being of the highest quality. Our box contained a Jax and Bones Rope Toy, Beasties Peanut Butter Biscounts (the office dogs loved them!), Paws Dental Chcken Triple Joint Chew, 100g Yoghurt Drops and Chicken Pops rawhide chews.
Our only comment was that the Chicken Pops were loose in the box, and should probably have been packaged. Other than that, we were very impressed. These boxes would make an ideal gift to the dog lover in your life, or just the dog you love in your life.

Dog Sitting Services
Dog sitters are providers of contracted services that take care of animals or pets at your home.
The industry of professional dog sitting is going through rapid growth at the moment as many
animal owners feel that using pet sitters are advantageous compared to options that include
traditional pet care. People use dog sitters for many reasons.
Do You Need a Pet Sitter?
There are more than a few reasons people decide to avail of the services of a pet sitter. This
includes not having to inconvenience family members, friends or neighbours when you need to
be away for some reason. Also, pets do not have to get used to brand new environments
whenever their owners are away. Rather, they are able to stay home on their regular routine.
When a pet has to stay at a kennel rather than at their own home, there are often less restrictive
vaccinations required. There is also less exposure to parasites and illnesses. Since your pet does
not have to be transported to any other place, there is no trauma involved that usually
accompanies traveling. Dog sitters are highly advisable because of the fact that since pets are
cared for in their own houses, there is an overall reduction in the stress they would otherwise
have had to go through.
Liability Insurance
Dog sitters who are professional are usually licensed. They also have insurance for liabilities they
are responsible for including control of the pets, custody and care. Many sitters are also insured
and bonded for theft. Usually, a dog sitter has training such as animal husbandry classes, first aid
certification or accreditation for dog sitting. Many organizations for professionals are available to
help the pet sitter go through service improvements.
Occupational Licenses
In most locations, there is no requirement for pet sitters to have an occupational license. Often,
the term “license’ is used by professionals of pet sitting to refer to kennel licenses or the license
to do businesses. There are also permits for animal transportation that are available within the
business coverage area. Licenses such as these may not or may be required depending on where
the pet sitting business is located. In every area, however, keep in mind that licenses are not
always available.
Dog Walking and Vacation Care
Walking the dog is one service that a pet sitter can do. Vacation Care is another service. During
pet sitting vacation services, the sitter pays the client’s home a visit as required, many times.
Both pet sitters and pet owners determine the exact visit length. On average, this is between 15-
45 minutes. Some sitters can also provide house sitting services aside from just caring for your
pet, as needed.
