Pet Containment: What's in it for Cats and Dogs?
Fences aren't always practical. Even if you have one, some dogs can jump them, and to cats, they're just a flat, narrow tree to climb.
Indoors, we may want to limit our pets from out-of-bounds areas. Counters, tables, couches, babies' rooms, balconies, and poisonous plants may be restricted areas or objects. Training methods such as spraying water deter pets only while we're there.
Fortunately, there are other types of pet containment systems. Read more about how to select a

Are Topical Flea Treatments Safe?
Your cat darts across the carpet like it's a bed of hot coals. Your dog has become a 24/7 scratching machine. You find red, itchy bite marks on your body when you wake up.
Fleas can attach themselves to animals outdoors, move indoors with you, jump from one pet to another, spring from carpets or upholstered furniture, or hatch from dormant larvae in your home. They can live year-round indoors, and outdoors as well in warmer climates.
Walk into a pet shop and you'll find topical flea treatments ranging from flea spray to flea shampoos. They may work to rid your pet of fleas — but are they safe? Read more about the safety of topical flea treatments.

Dog Safety in Cars
The safest way for dogs to travel in a car is sitting in the back seat, wearing a dog travel harness fastened to seat belts. In the front seat, airbags pose a danger — a dog's head is closer to the dashboard than a person's head, and may also be lower. Either of these means that a deploying airbag could hit a dog in the front seat at a speed of about 200 m.p.h. In the event of a sudden stop or an accident, a dog with unrestricted movement in a moving vehicle risks being thrown against the back of the seat, the dashboard, or a window.
Travel dog harnesses are wider across the chest area and are designed to fasten to seat belts. Some are padded. Prices range from about $20 to $75. |
