Dog Collars - How to Choose the Right One for Your Pet

by: Brent Jones

A leather collar is the strongest, most practical, and most comfortable. It should be round for long coats, in order to avoid breaking the hair, and flat for short coats, in order to avoid leaving a mark. Both round and flat should be as narrow and light as possible within the limits of security. Braided leather, the sturdiest of all is recommended for large and powerful breeds, but do not buy too heavy a collar for a new puppy. Washable nylon cord or canvas webbing are lightweight and strong enough.

You may enjoy dressing up your pet in fancy jeweled collars, and there is nothing wrong with this, but you should avoid dangling ornaments that can gat caught, trapping the animal and possibly causing injury. A properly fitting collar is tight enough so that cannot slip over the dogs head, but loose enough to offer no constriction. You should be able to slip two fingers between the collar and neck of an adult dog. A puppy grows so fast that his first collar must allow plenty of room for expansion. Get one with several holes, start with the last one, and adjust it comfortably each time you put it on him.

An essential safety feature of the dog collar is the identity tag it bears. The safest kind is an engraved name and address plaque permanently attached to the collar. Very small collars do not have room for this, so small pets have to wear a round engraved medal attached to the collar. The pets name and the owner?s phone number should be on the tag, and many areas require that immunization tags be worn with current records engraved. Above all else, a collar should be chosen for its comfort first and foremost, with style and look considered secondary.

Protective Dog Clothing For Your Active Dog

by: Teresa James

You?ll want to use protective dog clothing to keep your active dog safe and warm when adventuring in the great outdoors. The right dog clothing will go a long way in protecting your dog from cuts, scratches and severe weather conditions.

Protective dog clothing like dog coats, vests, and dog booties are important for more than one reason. The main function of dog clothing, like our own clothing, is to keep your dog dry and warm when the weather turns stormy and cold.

But many people take advantage of the newer styles of dog clothing that incorporate safety features like reflective materials stitched into the outfits. They help to make your dog much more visible when the weather darkens the sky. This is an important safety consideration for the dog that is active outdoors.

Cricket Bat Care And Maintenance Tips

Cricket Bat Care And Maintenance Tips

by: Ian Canaway

You should oil your new cricket bat using linseed oil before you begin to it knock-in.

Firstly lightly sand the surfaces of the cricket bat with a fine grade of sand paper. Then apply 2-3 light coats of oil to all exposed surfaces of the bat, allowing sufficient time for the bat to dry between coats, usually overnight.

It?s best to avoid oiling your cricket bat if it already has an artificial coating. Also don?t stand the bat in oil as this can cause the bat to soften and be more prone to damage.

Once you have oiled your bat and it has dried out, you can then begin to knock-in your new cricket bat.

After a match always check over your bat for signs of damage, such as cracking or splitting of the wood. You can repair damage by sanding and cleaning the damaged area, then using super glue or cricket bat tape to repair any small surface cracks.

During the off season, avoid...

Shearling Coat Care

Shearling Coat Care

by: Daniel Sickafus

If your shearling coat or jacket gets wet, let them coat dry naturally. Don't place by a fire or other high heat source.
Heat can dry out the natural oils in the hides.

Do not wash your coat or jacket in a washing machine or put in a dryer. Most shearling coats are meant to be dry cleaned.
When looking for a dry cleaner, make sure that they know how to properly clean them.
The process must include putting the natural oils back into the hides.
Without doing this process, the hides will dry out and the coat will be ruined.

When hanging your coat or jacket use a sturdy, well shaped coat hangar. Don't use a wire hanger that's going to put "pokies" in the shoulders and don't hang it up on a knob for extended periods of time.

Avoid stain resistant treatments that are made of silicone.
We recommend Meltonian
brand Protect-All.
It will...
