Pet health websites contain a plethora of information on looking after dogs and cats, but smaller pets are often neglected. This is very unfair on our smaller fluffy friends as small pets are very popular as well. One of the most popular small pets is the guinea pig: do you know how to care for one?

When you bring home your pet guinea pig, you should already have a place for it to live. Guinea pigs should live in a hutch with at least 0.9 square metres per adult. They should also have a run to exercise in, but be sure to place it out of very bright sunlight. Remember to bring your guinea pig’s hutch into the warm, for example the garage, during the Winter.

Your guinea pig should have straw or wood shavings to sleep on. Be sure to remove wet bedding daily. In addition to this, the whole hutch should be cleaned and scrubbed once a week, more in the Winter when guinea pigs spend more time indoors. In the Winter, think about providing extra hay to keep your pet warm.

You must give you guinea pig lots of hay and grass to eat, because it needs lots of fibre. You should also give it special guinea pig food which you can buy form good pet shops. Guinea pigs shouldn’t be fed rabbit food. You can give your pet a little bit of fresh veg now and then, and always provide fresh, clean water.

These are just three very basic rules to care for your new guinea pig. Remember that pet health is important. You can find information online or from your pet shop, as well as taking your guinea pig to see the vet.

Leather Dog Collars for Large Dogs

A leather dog collar is important for you to control your dog. Of the many kinds of dog collars being  sold today, the leather dog collar is the most popular.

You cannot buy just any collar. Different sizes of dogs require different collars and leashes so that you can control your dog. Factors to consider include the size and breed of your dog and your budget. Choose the right size of dog collar according to the size of your dog.  Make sure that you can slip two fingers in between the collar and the neck of your dog to get the right collar size. As much as possible, your dog’s collar should match your dog’s fur.

A leather dog collar is best for larger dogs. Larger dogs need leather collars that are about an inch wide to provide enough support if you want to take your dog out walking on a leash. You can also buy leather harnesses to go with your dog’s leather collar. Smaller dogs can make do with narrow collars and harnesses.
