Here's How to Prepare Your Pets for Hurricane Season

The Atlantic hurricane season is almost upon us, and forecasts warn we’ll likely see more storms than average. The storm season officially starts on June 1 and lasts till November 30, but storms may also occur before or after these dates.


Last year’s hurricane season has devastated communities with flooding, mudslides, and wind, causing billions of dollars in damage and leaving thousands of people without a home. 


According to the American Veterinary Association, 45.5% of U.S. households own at least one dog, and 32.1% have at least one cat. An estimated 89.7 million dogs and 73.8 million cats are kept as pets in the United States, and all of them face the same risks during the hurricane season as their owners. 


The United States Department of Homeland Security has created a website to help people prepare for natural disasters and emergencies. There you can find a list of items people should have prepared in case of an emergency. A basic disaster supply kit should contain food, water, flashlights, cash, personal hygiene items, cell phone chargers, and prescription medication, among other things. 


But what about our dogs and cats? Is there any way to include them in your family’s emergency plan, and if you have to evacuate, can they be taken to safety as well?


“Sometimes it’s much more challenging to get certain things when you’re in a hurry,” said Sarah Cortright, a Southern California-based small animal veterinarian. Packing a pet’s vaccination records, medication, food, and other necessities is much harder when trying to escape a deadly storm. 


It’s essential to have all these things prepared. Make sure you have at least two weeks' worth of your pet’s prescription medication in case you are forced to stay away from home for an extended period. 


Remember that veterinary offices may also stay closed because of severe weather, making it impossible to refill prescriptions quickly or obtain your pet’s vaccination or medical records.


“Coming out of L.A. fires, we saw a lot of pets that needed medications, and they had no documentation,” making it difficult for veterinarians to refill scripts, explained Cortright. She advises keeping a copy of your pet’s medical and vaccination records digitally and on paper.


“Even if it’s just a picture of the records on your phone, that’s enough,” she said, adding that animals may be separated from their families and boarded in separate facilities, for which they’ll need proof of vaccination. 


If you haven’t microchipped your pet yet, make sure to do so before the hurricane season. Keep your contact information up to date. In case you lose your pet during the storm, a microchip can help reunite you with your four-legged companion.


Cortright suggests packing a carrier for each cat and a small dog, and a leash or a harness for medium and large-sized pooches. 


Pack as much food and water for your pets as you can carry, as well as food and water bowls. If possible, take their bedding and a couple of toys as well. Bring some litter for cats so they have a place to relieve themselves, and waste bags for dogs.


Take recent photos of your pets to help with identification in case they get lost, and make sure they have ID tags and collars. 


Make a plan that includes a pet-friendly place to stay and copies of documentation to ensure all your pets stay safe. 


“Have extras of things set aside and ready to go,” suggested Cortright. “Just like you would for humans.” 


No one ever thinks they’ll end up caught in a storm. But planning before the hurricane season starts will make things a lot easier for you and your pet.

Flea and Tick Season Is Here: How to Protect Your Pets

As spring arrives and the days grow warmer, most of us start spending more time outdoors - and so do our pets. Long walks, backyard lounging, hiking adventures, and open windows become the norm. But with all that sunshine and fresh air comes something a little less welcome: flea and tick season.

Study Confirms Pets Are Better Social Media Influencers than People

Social media accounts of cats and dogs promoting products have an upper hand when it comes to trustworthiness, a new study shows. In recent years, our four-legged companions have become extremely popular on social media. Some are so popular that they have amassed millions of followers on their social media accounts. This trend has created a new word - petfluencer, a domestic animal that has a dedicated social media account where its owner posts about it. Some petfluencers have become famous, generating an impressive income. The world’s richest cat, Nala, is probably the best example. With 4.4 million followers on Instagram, Nala Cat has an estimated net worth of $100 million.But what makes cats and dogs better influencers than people? A new study found that petfluencers have an unexpected edge over human influencers in terms of trustworthiness. The study, published in The Journal of Advertising Research, examines how animals’ endorsements of brands, as seen in petfluencer accounts, affect consumer response. Researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland analyzed what makes petfluencers successful by comparing them to human influencers. For this study, researchers created fictional advertisements for products like peanut butter and wine. When these advertisements were shown to an audience, the results were surprising, but clear - petfluencer has surpassed the human influencer in terms of consumer response.The study also found petfluencers to be even more effective when their message matched a consumer’s focus on immediate satisfaction and pleasure. Researchers also discovered that the number of sponsored posts affects an influencer’s perceived sincerity. As the number of sponsored posts by human influencers increases, their perceived sincerity is declining, likely because of “influencer fatigue”.Human influencers are often seen in a negative light if their persuasive intent is clearer if people believe they endorse products and brands they don’t use or believe in just to get paid. According to the researchers, this is most likely the reason why petfluencers could be a good alternative for more sincere endorsements. On the other hand, pets aren’t obsessed with material things and offer a more genuine alternative to human influencers, and brands have started to notice their value. More advertising agencies are turning to petfluencers to promote brands, and they often earn as much as their human counterparts. “Petfluencers offer distinct advantages compared to human social media influencers,” said Dr. Laura Laverty, study author and lecturer in Marketing at the University of Strathclyde. “While the persuasiveness of human influencers often stems from their relatability or aspirational appeal, petfluencers are seen as more genuine and sincere. Because they are pets, they have no hidden agenda,” she explained.Pets don’t come with the baggage or scandals that follow some human influencers, which makes them seem more trustworthy. Although petfluencer accounts may appear like they are managed by the pets themselves, they are often run transparently by the pet’s owner. Like human influencers, petfluencers often work with advertising agencies to handle brand partnerships, while staying in charge of the type of content they post. Famous petfluencers like Nala Cat are in high demand and endorse a large number of products. For example, Nala the cat recommends an array of products, from cat food to mobile games. The research team believes future studies will validate their findings and explore the growing presence and influence of pets in social media. Join the PetGuide community.

How Pets Boost Your Immune System?

Living with pets offers many health benefits. From lower blood pressure and reduced risk of heart disease to better mental health, owning a pet can be a key to a healthier you. However, that’s not all; research has shown that living with a cat or a dog can enhance your immune system. One of the strongest scientific arguments that supports the idea that pets boost immunity is based on the “hygiene hypothesis.” Based on this theory, early exposure to a diverse range of microbes, often found on pets and in outdoor environments, helps the developing immune system to distinguish between harmful and harmless agents.  Some scientists believe that without this exposure, the immune system may become hyper-reactive, increasing the likelihood of allergies and autoimmune conditions. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that children who grew up on traditional farms or in households with multiple pets had lower rates of childhood asthma and allergies compared to children who grew up in petless urban settings.Another study has discovered that a child’s allergy risk at ages seven and nine lowers proportionally with the number of pets that were kept at home in early childhood. “It’s not a universal cure-all, and every time I give a lecture on this, someone goes ‘Well I grew up on a farm and I’ve got allergies’, but we know that if you grow up physically interacting with farm animals, you have about 50% reduction in your likelihood of developing asthma or allergies,” said Jack Gilbert, a professor at the University of California San Diego.Research also showed that some bacterial strains found on pets get transferred to their owners through proximity or touch. While this may seem unappealing to some people, it’s a type of natural microbiome exposure that can shape the immune system, particularly in early life. Dogs, more than cats, carry dirt and bacteria from the outside, broadening the household’s microbiome. Gilbert believes that our immune systems have evolved to be stimulated by the microbiome pets carry. Although these microbes are not with us all the time, our immune system recognizes the familiar signals as they come through, which helps the immune system develop in the right direction. “Over many millennia, the human immune system got used to seeing dog, horse, and cow bacteria. And so when it sees those things, it triggers beneficial immune development. It knows what to do,” said Gilbert.Another way pets may boost our immune systems is through stress regulation. Research has shown that chronic stress can undermine the immune system by elevating cortisol levels. In turn, a weakened immune system lowers the body’s ability to fight off diseases.  Numerous studies found that interacting with pets, whether it’s walking a dog or stroking a cat, lowers cortisol levels and boosts oxytocin. This improves mental health and also supports a better immune response.Owning a pet, especially a dog, often leads to increased physical activity. Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, and dog owners are more likely to achieve or exceed this objective.Exercise, in turn, has a beneficial effect on your immune health. It’s well-documented that exercise improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and even slows age-related immune decline. This is amazing news for pet parents, and new research continues to show that living with pets throughout our lives can be beneficial for our immune health and overall well-being. Join the PetGuide community.

I’ve done it many times and can confirm that if not done carefully, it can take weeks to correct. Especially if she’s hit or struck with claws out and the new kid on the block is now afraid.What does carefully look like?

What Are the Best Beginner Birds for Pet Owners?

Birds can make wonderful companions, bringing color, intelligence, and lively energy into a home. But if you're considering your first feathered friend, choosing the right species is important. Some birds are naturally easier to care for, while others require more time, experience, and patience.For beginners, it's essential to consider a bird’s temperament, noise level, social needs, and care requirements.

5 Fun Facts About Dogs That Might Surprise You

Dogs are often called "man's best friend," but there's more to these lovable companions than meets the eye. From their quirky biology to surprising behaviors, dogs are full of fascinating surprises. Whether you're a lifelong dog owner or simply a fan of furry facts, here are five unusual things you may not know about our four-legged friends.

Are The New Pet Dryer Boxes Right for Your Pet?

(photo credit: Dorottya Mathe / shutterstock.com)It looks like a toaster oven crossed with a microwave. And while I wouldn’t suggest defrosting your frozen dinner in one, it does a pretty nifty job of drying smaller pets quickly and relatively stress-free. What it is, is a drying box and they’re being touted as a great alternative to those noisy blow dryers that typically blast out a single jet of hot air. Those hand-held devices are time-consuming when it comes to targeting all those furry little nooks and crannies and can be downright uncomfortable if directed at any one area for too long.The gadget we’re talking about here is not to be confused with dog crate dryers that clip onto your pet’s cage and direct a steady stream of warm air into the crate and around your pet. A drying box is totally sealed. Your pet goes inside and the box then fills with multiple streams of warm air that cover 360 degrees to ensure a full dry. And unlike the crate dryer, you don’t have to worry about your pet moving out of range.What I love is how quietly they operate. Less noise equals less stress in my household. However, whenever you’re talking about heating and pets, there are concerns that pet parents need to consider before using this type of dryer.Even though they have heat settings of up to 99 minutes, never leave your pet for that length of time without having them within your sightline. I think that goes without saying.Always watch your pet’s reaction to being enclosed in this type of dog coat dryer. If he’s panicked, stressed, or panting, get him out. Heat stroke is real and needs immediate attention.This type of device isn’t a smart pick for brachycephalic dogs or those with breathing issues. It’s an enclosed space that heats up quickly and you already know your dog cannot cool himself down efficiently.Only consider drying boxes that allow you to set the temperature and have ventilation for adequate air movement. Stuffy, too warm, and uncomfortable mean your pet will never agree to go into the box again.I’m prone to the options that offer side openings so you can reach in and pet your dog or cat. It’s just a little reassurance that our buddies always appreciate.

Why Does My Pet Stare at Me While I’m Eating?

So here I was, minding my own business, eating a perfectly ordinary sandwich on the sofa, when I felt it: the stare.You know the one.I looked up… and there was Jasper. Sitting silently. Eyes locked on my every move. Not blinking. Not breathing (probably). Just channeling all his hope, energy, and emotional manipulation into my tuna melt.And the worst part? I felt guilty.Like I was doing something deeply selfish by… eating my own lunch?If you’ve ever found yourself apologizing to your pet mid-bite or accidentally dropping a bit of food you “definitely didn’t mean to share,” you’re not alone. So let’s talk about it: why do our pets stare at us like they’re starring in a heartbreaking indie film while we eat?

How Your Cat’s Needs Change as They Age

Just like humans, our feline friends go through life stages, and their needs shift along the way. You wouldn’t feed a toddler the same way you would a teenager, right? The same goes for cats. Whether your whiskered companion is bouncing off the walls or snoozing twenty hours a day, here’s what to expect as they age — and how you can best support them through every life stage.

How To Replace Your Pet's Fave (Worn Out) Blanket with Something New?

(photo credit: Gladskikh Tatiana / shutterstock.com)Let’s be honest here. Every dog or cat owner will have a stash of dog blankets in their arsenal of pet accessories. Why? Because they’re the easiest way to protect our soft furnishings from becoming coated in fluffy fur and doggy drool. And they’re sized perfectly for whipping off to reveal that pristine sofa or chair when company arrives.But we’re not talking about those plush cover-up blankets we all have tucked away in our closets. We’re talking about those comforting remnants that belong to your dog and seem to travel with him around your home. Like a child with a security blanket, our pets can often attach themselves to something soft and portable that brings them immediate comfort throughout the day.The “why” for this behavior can include his strong sense of smell and how a familiar scent provides him with comfort and reassurance when new or unsettling circumstances arise. Or, he could use it as a teething device when younger and simply has not outgrown the habit. It could also be down to your dog’s need to nest or burrow and a blanket allows him to flip it around and bury himself down under where he feels safe and cozy. And lastly, his favorite blanket can provide him with warmth and a sense of well-being that allows him to relax and feel at ease within his surroundings – especially when not in his home base.So, what do you do when said security blanket desperately needs to be washed? You know it will remove the scent he loves and (temporarily) his access to this comfort source. You plan for it.

Do Cats Miss Their Owners? Here's What Science Says

Disclosure: PetGuide may receive a small affiliate commission from purchases made via links in this article but at no cost to you. Cats are famously independent. Unlike their canine counterparts, who leap with joy at the mere sound of their human’s footsteps, felines often maintain a mysterious emotional distance. But behind those cool, almond-shaped eyes, is there longing when you're away? Do cats actually miss their owners? Let’s look into it. 

It's Genetic! Why Some Cats Are Naturally Louder

Have you ever wondered what makes one cat a super chatty communicator and another a silent observer? If so, you’re not alone! New research is now shedding light on this, and their findings suggest that the answer may be deeply embedded in their genes.A study led by wildlife researcher Yume Okamoto and his team at Kyoto University in Japan explored the impact of genetics on feline vocalizations. The researcher asked cat owners in Japan to complete a questionnaire about their pets’ behavior, including purring and meowing directed at humans. At the same time, they collected DNA samples from the cats through a simple cheek swab.To understand the findings of this study, we need to start with an understanding of a specific gene found on the X chromosome: the androgen receptor (AR) gene. This gene plays a key role in the body’s response to hormones like testosterone.What’s particularly interesting about the AR gene is a section within it where a DNA sequence is repeated. The number of repetitions directly influences how responsive the gene is – fewer repetitions mean the receptor is more sensitive to androgen, while more repetitions mean the receptor is less sensitive. Why is this relevant? In previous studies, shorter repeats in the AR gene of other species (including humans and dogs) have been linked to increased aggression and extroverted behavior.To determine whether this connection also exists in cats, the team analyzed survey and DNA results from 280 spayed or neutered cats.They found that cats with the shorter AR gene variant were reported to purr more frequently. Additionally, male cats with this variant scored higher for vocalizations directed at their people, such as meowing to signal they wanted food or to be let outside. Meanwhile, female cats with the same genotype showed more aggression towards strangers.However, cats with the longer, less active version of the AR gene tended to be quieter. The team noted that this longer variant was more prevalent in pedigree breeds, which are often selectively bred for more docile and calmer temperaments.Not only does this information shine a light on the role genetics plays in a cat’s personality, but it also provides a better understanding of the impact being domesticated has had on our feline friends.While it’s generally believed that domestication has led to more chatty behavior in our cats, the study revealed that the gene variant associated with more vocal communication and assertiveness was also found in wild cats, such as the lynx. The team hypothesized that this was because certain traits, such as assertiveness, may be passed on from generation to generation, especially in environments where resources are scarce or competition is high, to give cats a competitive edge. After all, living alongside humans doesn’t always lead to calm and gentle animals. Sometimes a little “pushiness” pays off!What does this mean for us, as cat parents? Understanding that some of your cat’s chattiness or more assertive behaviors may be due to genetics can help us better appreciate their one-of-a-kind personalities. We hope research into this connection continues so that we can better understand our cats and what drives them!Join the PetGuide community.

Calming Techniques for Over-Excited Dogs of All Ages

We’ve all been there – the whirlwind of paws, barks, and boundless energy. Having a dog in your life is an excellent source of joy and companionship, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming. While some may tell you that you need to let your dog be a dog and get over it, the truth is that too much of anything can be bad – including excitement.Whether you’re concerned about your dog’s excitement escalating into barrier frustration and reactivity or worried that their desire to jump up and greet you each time you come home could lead to them slipping past and running out onto the road, over-excitement can definitely create less than ideal and even dangerous situations.Your dedication to your dog’s well-being has you searching for solutions. I see you. After all, calm dogs experience less stress, which can help improve their physical and mental health.So, what are you waiting for? I have put together this comprehensive guide to calming techniques with options for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and situations. Find the solutions that suit your dog and start working towards helping your dog find their inner peace today.Understanding Dog ExcitementThe first step in helping your dog discover a calmer outlook on life is understanding the root causes of their behavior. This includes recognizing the common triggers that ignite a dog’s excitement, differentiating between healthy playfulness and problematic hyperactivity, and learning how breed and age can influence their energy levels. By understanding these factors, you can select calming techniques better suited to your dog’s specific needs.Common Triggers of Excitement in DogsWhat sets your dog’s tail wagging and paws tapping? Like humans, dogs have their own personal preferences, and that includes the things that make them excited. However, some common factors are regularly shared by the greater canine population, such as:The thrill of visitors arriving (or you returning home)Anticipation of walks and outingsExcitement surrounding mealtimesThese triggers can also be specific to a particular sense. For example, a dog who is excited by noises may start to freak out at the sound of a doorbell ringing or sirens wailing. Others may feel that excitement beginning to build at the very sight of a dog in the distance or the scent of their favorite human food cooking.Some dogs are even triggered by changes in their daily routine. Seeing you picking up your keys to leave the house on a Sunday when you usually stay home signals that something is different, and that can bring with it a lot of big emotions.Recognizing these triggers is the first step toward creating a calmer environment. Consider keeping a journal, recording any details you notice when your dog gets overly excited, including where you were, what sounds you heard, what your dog was doing, what you were doing, etc. After recording for a while, step back and read through your entries. Do you see any patterns?Healthy Playfulness Vs. Problematic Over-ExcitementNot all excitement is created equal. Playfulness is a sign of a healthy dog, from young pups right up to the slower but still joyful play of a sweet senior. A happy, energetic dog might bounce and wag its tail, even grabbing at their favorite toys to get you to play. However, a dog experiencing anxiety-driven hyperactivity will exhibit signs like excessive panting, an inability to focus, and even destructive behavior (like chewing or digging). This type of over-excitement is often rooted in stress. Left unchecked, this stress can continue to build up, leading to long-term behavioral issues. Learning to read your dog’s body language will help you identify if your dog’s excitement is a sign of trouble and respond accordingly. The Role of Breed and Age Your dog’s breed and age (life stage) can play a significant role in your dog’s energy levels and their ability to self-regulate. Certain breeds are naturally more energetic than others, bred to perform tasks that require high levels of stamina and drive. While your dog may be living as a pet dog, that natural drive and instinct don’t disappear. This is the reason why professionals stress the importance of researching breeds before bringing a dog into your life. Some high-energy dogs that are likely going to show higher levels of excitement include: Australian Cattle Dogs Border Collie Australian Shepherd Jack Russell Terrier Siberian Husky Belgian Malinois Age also has an impact on a dog’s behavior and activity. Puppies are known for having boundless energy, and their developing brains often struggle with self-control and self-regulation.  Adult dogs, while generally more mature, may still display high levels of excitement depending on their breed and training. Senior dogs are generally entering a calmer stage of their life, but they may experience age-related anxieties or cognitive decline manifesting in restlessness that could be mistaken for excitement. Understanding what’s “normal” for your dog in terms of their age and breed will not only help you tailor your calming techniques to their needs but also identify if something is “off.” Foundational Calming TechniquesFirst, let’s create a solid foundation for a calmer dog. This involves implementing consistent routines, providing adequate exercise and mental stimulation, using the power of positive reinforcement, and creating a calming environment. These techniques won’t address any triggers creating anxiety or over-excitement, but they will help to promote a sense of security and reduce overall stress and anxiety levels. Consistent Routine A secret to helping your dog live a calm, relaxed life is providing them the security of a consistent routine. Predictable meal, walk, and playtime schedules let your dog know what to expect, giving structure and reducing anxiety about the unknown. Picture for a moment how you feel when your schedule is thrown off. Your dog experiences similar stress when their routine is disrupted. Establishing and sticking to a consistent schedule can naturally encourage calmness by creating a calm overall environment. Exercise and Mental Enrichment Physical activity is an essential piece of the puzzle for burning excess energy, but it is only one piece. Mental stimulation is equally important. A tired dog is a good dog, but a mentally exhausted dog is a truly calm dog. While physical exercise tires their bodies, mental exercise tires their brains. A dog that has run for miles may still be mentally alert and restless, whereas a dog that has engaged in a challenging training session will often be calmer and more relaxed. Try incorporating mental enrichment activities like: Training sessions, such as basic obedience or some fun trick trainingIntroduce your dog to scent work (you can pick up a starter kit to help you get started) Try feeding your dog using a snuffle mat, puzzle feeder, or treat dispensing toyChallenge your dog to learn how to use talking buttons Create a DIY busy box using items you have around your home

Front-Load Dog Carriers Keep Him In On All the Action

(photo credit: Net Vector / shutterstock.com)It’s that awkward size. A dog that’s not quite big enough for the endurance of a long hike, but not so small that you can tuck him neatly into a pet sling and effortlessly tote him around on all those outdoor adventures. When your dog loves to get a front-row seat for all the action, when his spirit is willing but his little legs aren’t up to a marathon trek, a front-load dog carrier may just be the ticket. Alternatively, when your primary mode of transportation leans towards the two-wheel variety, and you want to include your pooch in all those fun outings, finding the right travel gear is essential.Designed for dogs weighing upwards of 12 pounds but typically less than 30, this type of carrier safely secures your pet so that you can comfortably transport him for short (or long) periods. And today’s new harnesses are strategically designed to prevent you from experiencing shoulder fatigue – meaning all parties remain comfortable.Not only is your pooch front facing to receive the smiles and accolades of the passing public, but for wilderness hikes, he gets to enjoy the flora and fauna from an entirely new vantage point – five feet off the ground. Now, for older pets or those with limited mobility, a front-load dog carrier is perfect for keeping them close, warm, comfortable and engaged in their surroundings. And as we all know, mental stimulation is critical for dogs of any size or age. Best of all, because these carriers are constructed for a quick load/unload process, your pet can easily resume his walk or take a comfort break as frequently as needed.
