Mukund's Story

 5/5

Me and my wife don’t own a pet yet and we were in search of a platform that lets us connect with pet owners and their pets to get a hands-on experience of owning one “part-time” before we make the big decision of getting one. It also allows us to be with and care for these wonderful creatures.

George's Story

 5/5

My Golden Retriever George and I had the pleasure to meet Mukund and his wife through MyPetBuddy. George loves to get to know new people, so we arranged a ‘play date’. Mukund lives in a very green neighborhood, where we could spend the afternoon playing with George in the park. Mukund and his wife were fabulous and so caring.

#TopTipTuesday Let’s talk about the vet visits.

#TopTipTuesday Let’s talk about the vet visits. 🤓

Vet visits can be stressful for dogs, cats and humans alike. Many people know their dog or cat is afraid of going to the vet. It’s not surprising because a vet visit is very different from the dog’s or cat's usual daily experiences, and yet it’s essential for them to get good veterinary care.

Here's some easy practical tips to make it less stressful.😥

1️⃣ Minimize time spent in the waiting room by scheduling your appointment for a day and hour when the veterinary practice is less busy unless you have an emergency.

2️⃣ Arrive a few minutes beforehand. If smells, sights, sounds, people and animals in the waiting room alarm or frighten your pet, ask to be moved into an exam room as quickly as possible.

3️⃣ Find a cat-friendly veterinarian or look for a clinic that has separate cat and dog waiting areas

4️⃣ Line the carrier with a towel and toss in a toy or some catnip.

5️⃣ Pack some treats and a 'security blanket' . Whether it really is a blanket, a stuffed animal or any other toy, pack your pet’s favorite item that may help them feel more secure and relaxed. Even an old t-shirt or a towel that just smells familiar could be helpful

6️⃣ Find a vet who uses "fear-free handling" techniques - Never hold your pet down or force them during the appointment, and don’t let the vet do it either. This creates panic and fear and it is ultimately what makes animals fear the vets in the first place.

It's Wednesday which means it's time for our #wisdomwednesday Wednesday!

This week we would like to share 4 interesting facts about dog’s hair #doghairismyglitter

As pet parents we know that linen roller is your BFF, we can’t live without it. However, despite the many complaints that owners have about pet hair, there are many common misconceptions that lead people to deal with hairy pets in the wrong way.

Let’s take a quick look at the top 5 interesting facts about dog hair, so you can get a better understanding of your hairy pet and how to deal with it.

🐶 It’s Not the Hair, It’s the Dander (and Maybe the Drool Too!) - Likely the top complaint that any pet parent or potential pet parent has about pets is allergies. However, it is not actually the pet hair that is affecting people’s allergies, in most cases it is the dander of the pet (the flakes of dead skin) that is causing the allergic reaction, and in some smaller cases people are allergic to the animal’s saliva.

🐶 Hair Vs Fur - Most people use the words ‘hair’ and ‘fur’ interchangeably when talking about their pets. Pets can have up to 3 different layers of hair, and when a pet has more than one layer of hair, it is said to have fur.

🐶 Different Dog Breeds Shed Different Amounts of Hair - You would think that the dogs with thick coats of fur would shed more than the dogs with thin, wiry coats of hair, but this is not always the case. The issue of dog hair, and pet hair in general, comes down to the nature of the breed’s background. Certain animals will have been bred in specific areas of the world, which means that they will have a natural internal clock for growing coats and then later shedding them.

🐶 Daily Grooming - Daily pet grooming is one of those simple routines that turns a huge problem into a simple daily task. It will help with the shedding and keeping the coat fresher and healthier. Daily grooming is also a great way to connect with your beloved furry

On today’s #tiptuesday! It is a common practice

On today’s #tiptuesday!

It is a common practice in the UAE to keep moving your home, so when it comes to settling your cat or dog into their new home after a move, remember to be conscious of their concerns.

While moving is very stressful for the two-legged members of your family, companion animals can find it even more difficult to move and adjust to new surroundings.

Cats in particular are very attached to their surroundings, so change is always unsettling. If you've ever moved with cats and introduced them to a new household, you'll know what we are talking about.

So here some #tips to help you and your feline friends

🐱 Getting used to a new environment can be scary for our cats, so it's important to allow your cat to go at their own pace.

🐱 It can take cats several months to become fully comfortable in their new home, but this will depend on your cat's individual personality and experience.

🐱 Surround them with things that smell familiar and make sure your cat has access to all its key resources in a safe place and keep to a simple routine to begin with. This helps your cat feel in control of their environment.

🐱 Make use of the pheromone products and natural remedies. You can also use it in the cat's carrier prior to a move which can calm them during transit to the new house. Similarly, natural remedies such as Bach Rescue Remedy may help calm your cat, particularly for the first few hours in a new home.

🐱 Keep doors and windows closed and make sure there aren't any crawl spaces or holes where they can escape to that you can't access. If your cats like going outside like ours do, make sure you keep him or her indoors for at least two to three weeks so that your home is familiar to them. After that, take your cat outside with you and let it explore a bit. After ten minutes or so, take him or her back inside. Each day, increase the time until the kitty feels safe and knows the area. Also, make sure that your cat is properly tagged with your new address and phone number.

Have you ever moved with your cat? How did they get on? Let us know in the comments below!
