6 Unique Apartment Pets

Article by Jeff Swett

Nothing makes apartment living fun like a playful pet. Fido and Felix bring a number of new elements to an apartment other than the additional smell. On any given day pets add companionship, humor, personality, and tons of fun to even the most monotonous dwellings. Although dogs and cats lead the pack of domesticated pals there are a number of untraditional, unique, and exotically extravagant creatures available. So, if you are seeking a cute, small, or just out of the ordinary companion check out the little buggers that round out my list of Top Six Unique Apartment Pets.

6) Pot-Bellied Pigs- While slightly destructive at times, Pot-Bellied Pigs can be as easy, if not easier to train than dogs. They're playful, curious, caring, surprisingly odorless, and they don't bark. Natural "rooters" and highly intelligent, these pets can get quite stubborn in their desperate search to feed their addiction to food, learning to open cabinets, drawers, bins, and find their way into making a real mess of the kitchen. Keeping food locked up is only a fraction of commitment to caring for these lovable little oinkers. Pot-Bellied Pigs may require much care, financial, and time commitment, but make an extremely fun pet and incredible family member.

5) Hedgehog- Although not a very social animal, a tamed hedgehog can make a nice furry friend. With a life-span of 4-6 years, Hedgehogs are relatively easy to care for and are easy to feed with high quality cat food. When they feel threatened these animals will roll into a ball, poking out the prickly spines on their back. These spines are not a big danger, but getting a hedgehog used to human handling is one of the biggest steps in making them comfortable and you avoiding getting poked. A seemingly quiet animal, they don't require a lot of attention and are great at entertaining themselves.

4) Chinchillas- Pets don't get much softer or cuddlier than one of these very soft, furry creatures. Like most exotic mammals on this list, if handled from a young age Chinchillas bond very closely with their human owners. For a smaller animal they have quite the extensive life span, lasting about 15 years. An active and playful animal by nature, having a spacious cage and many toys available for the Chinchilla will add to their happiness and natural comfort level. Surprisingly, these little guys bathe in dust to keep their coat silky and smooth, so having a dust bath is a necessity. Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that an animal can bathe itself in dust to maintain a clean, shiny coat of fur?

3) Ferrets- A very mischievous animal, Ferrets can be highly entertaining. One of the more common animals on this list, Ferrets are known to sleep long hours (up to 18 hrs/day) and be very active during dawn and dusk. Most will adapt their sleeping and active times to fit that of their owner's schedule. While they do have a reputation for having a musky smell, Ferrets are typically fixed and descented before being sold. Ferret owners should always try to be aware of the whereabouts of their pet as a ferret's curiosity can lead it anywhere in the home. Living roughly 6-8 years, Ferrets make a really awesome and extremely fun apartment pet.

2) Prairie Dogs- One of the most social, playful, and active animals on this list, Prairie Dogs can make incredibly fun pets for an apartment. If trained very young to be around humans, these furry creatures become affectionate and very caring to their owners. With this need for affection, they require a good amount of attention. Feeding on rabbit pellets, hay, and the occasional treat, it's fairly easy to keep a Prairie Dogs' belly full. Make sure to have many chewable toys available as they do like to chew on things and you don't want them to chew on you.

1) Sugar Gliders- This is the ultimate apartment pet. Sugar Glider's are extremely social and bond naturally with their human owners. This in mind, these animals do require quite a bit of daily attention and interaction as without it they can at times become depressed or even die. A marsupial, the Sugar Glider is quite comfortable hanging out in a shirt pocket all day, cuddling close to its owner. They are a very endearing and non-aggressive pet that typically lives 12-14 years, so will make a wonderful long time pet that'll connect well with its owner. Being small, fun, and easy to care for makes the Sugar Glider the perfect apartment pet!

That rounds out the list of Top Six Unique Apartment Pets. There are an increasing number of viable pet options for apartment dwellers out there, so make sure and look around and weigh those options to find the perfect pet for you and your place.

Pet Locator?
I'm looking for a device to Locate my pet from time to time. I don't want a GPS tracker, just something like an RF transmiter and reciever that will point me in the right direction. It's for a cat so it has to be somewhat light.

My vet said something about a GPS tracker that they inject into their back. It's like if your cat got lost, then a shelter picked it up, they scan its back to find out its info...

Ask your vet..i guess you will to get your cat a walkie talkie or a pager lol.......Look more into it and you will find that there is device that works with Garmin Radios. It tracks something with a handheld off a frequency. So if you have the collar on the animal you can track them with a person RINO 120 or something simular.You might want to talk to a vet and see what kind of systems they may have available.There is a very small microchip(like the size of rice) that can be put into your pets back to find them if they are missing. They insert the microship between the shoulder blades and your pet does not feel anything because they give it anesthesia. Then if your pet is lost they scan its back and your address shows up so they can return your pet home safely!

Talk to your vet about getting one.

The New SpotLite GPS Pet Locator The Budget Version of a Classic

Article by Chris Newton and Lewis Sheats

GPS Pet Trackers have been gaining popularity in leaps and bounds over the past few years. People have recognized the value of applying the technology of satellite positioning systems to a variety of uses. From automobiles and telecommunications to tracking and locating, GPS has gradually become the new watchword in security as well. Securus - a company committed to applying GPS-enabled solutions to the safety and security market, launched the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator in partnership with the American Kennel Club Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR) some time back. The product immediately fulfilled a need in the pet market as a reliable and cost-effective means of tracking and locating a missing pet. As a sturdy, water-resistant, lightweight device, the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator could be attached to a dog's collar. Equipped with a removable and rechargeable battery and an LED beacon, the SpotLight was a runaway hit with pet owners across the country.

Recently, the company has launched another version of the classic SpotLight GPS Pet Locator. Called the SpotLITE, it is offered as a budget version of the original. Priced at a pocket-friendly 9.99, the new SpotLITE has exactly the same functionality as the SpotLight GPS Pet Locator apart from not having an LED beacon and a removable battery. Measuring 66mmx36mmx20mm, the SpotLITE retains the durability and compact nature of its older counterpart. It comes with a pouch that you attach to your dog's collar. While the battery of this device may not be removable, it is still a rechargeable, long life battery that will alert you with a signal when it is running low. You can set the level (20 or 30% for example) and when the battery capacity reaches that level, SpotLite will alert you by text or email as requested.

Using Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) technology, SpotLITE offers the optimum in tracking ability even under adverse satellite conditions through the use of the Internet and wireless networks. This allows devices such as the SpotLITE to detect a position in a much faster time frame as well. Once your missing pet has been located, SpotLITE will then inform you of his exact whereabouts through the medium of your choice i.e. text, email, or by phone. It will provide you with step-by-step directions on how to reach your pet so that you don't lose time in locating him. In addition to this, SpotLITE allows you to access your pet's location around the clock, on to a map so that you are assured of his safety at all times.

When you purchase the SpotLITE GPS Pet Locator your pet will be provided with a unique AKC CAR tag and ID number. This also offers you round the clock access to their helpline if your pet goes missing. Support staff on call will then talk you through the process of locating your missing pet. An invaluable service provided to pet owners when their beloved pet goes missing!

Pet Insurance?
My boyfriend bought me a Pomeranian 3 weeks ago and now he's planning to get Moomoo pet insurance too. Does anybody know what's a good insurance company and how it really works? Does it cover vet visits too or only emergency medical needs? Any other details?

I know it is very confusing when shopping for pet insurance. There are too many information out there and cause a case of information overload.

No pet insurance are the same and you need to find one that tailors to your cat's need. You have to be careful when choosing because some insurance company place a low cap on their reimbursement even though you are paying for higher premiums. Some will have low deductibles but will not cover much illness or low coverage for accidents and diagnosis. Many insurance companies will not cover pre existing conditions.

I cannot recommend one that stood out from the rest because what my pet needs might be different from what you need.

However, there is a site with a lot of good and useful reviews on the insurance available that you can look into.

http://www.petinsurancereview.com/
http://www.pet-insurance-info.com

Some guidelines:-

How old is your pet? The best time to purchase a pet health insurance policy is when your pet is young. Most pet health problems happen in the last two years of your pet's life. So, the younger your pet is, the better

Is your breed prone to medical problems? While policy premiums are generally not based on breed, certain hereditary conditions are excluded.

For instance, Persian cats are prone to polycystic kidney disease (PKD). You can still buy pet insurance for your Persian; just don't be surprised if it fails to cover related issues (some pet insurance policies may cover this, so check with your provider to make sure before you buy).

Is your pet already sick? Most pet insurance providers won't cover pre-existing conditions. However, if you can prove your pet had a condition that has been cured, that may be covered.

Can you choose your own veterinarian? For many pet owners, vet choice is key, and for good reason. Some pet insurance companies require you to use veterinarians on their own network. Others don't. As always, check with your provider regarding your choice of veterinarian.

What is your pet's lifestyle? If your dog or cat spends most of his time outdoors, that will increase his/her risk of illness or injury.

What is covered? Many pet owners purchase pet health insurance policies to protect themselves from the high cost of future medical problems. Others want regular pet care such as annual physical exams and routine checkups and cleanings.

Just be advised that most standard pet insurance policies cover catastrophic accidents and illnesses. Routine vet visits tend to come as add-ons and/or riders.

What State do you Live In? If you are searching on the internet for pet health insurance, you need to check this. Just because a provider does business online doesn't mean it services your state.

Check The Insurance Company's Track Record

Every state in the U.S. has an insurance commissioner. If the insurance company you are considering has had legal/ethical issues that should cause you concern, the insurance commissioner's office in your state or province should know about it. Check with them before you buy.

Do I need Pet Insurance? – Is it truly a necessity or is it insurance company ploy to get more money out of the pet world?

Article by Pop Ingram

In the pet world; in contrast to car insurance, of which is a legal requirement; Pet Insurance is not compulsory, and realistically you could risk whether it's necessary to acquire or take the risk.Any time animal owners obtain a pet, many people tend to take time to conduct the groundwork to make certain they recognize the pet and their particular needs. Time is taken to check out the different pet retailers, breeders and pet rescue homes right up until they discover the exotic pet, dog, or cat that really satisfies them.Exactly what a really a small amount of pet owners do is take into consideration the effect of veterinarian expenses for their completely new family pet should the need crop up. The particular oversight can prove devastating in financial terms and emotionally tragic in the pet world.So - veterinary fees are on the rise, and showing no sign of decreasing. Technology, insurance policies, treatments, and health research have pressured vets to raise their charges. Veterinary treatment centers in non-urban parts find it challenging to appeal to young vets who are qualifying from vet university to their own treatment centers; they are pressured to give higher wages in order to remain competitive with veterinary centres located closer to big towns and cities. The increase in the wage is then passed down to to the pet owners.Newest quotes state that the ordinary dog owner is going to pay about £160 per annum on vet's charges. Cats were a little cheaper at £110 in vet bills a year. Once you contemplate what the average life expectancy is for a pet that will work out to be a fair amount money. So what if the pet isn't your typical dog or cat? What if the pet is a unusual or highly-priced type, or something more amazing like a ferret, a pot bellied pig or a snake? The more rare the pet the more the owner is likely to shell out on the animal medical practitioner charges, particularly if they have a animal such as a snake which will require a vet with particular knowledge. What exactly happens to the pet if it suddenly falls ill or is wounded in an incident? Exactly how much will it cost the pet owner if they need to take their animal to a veterinary clinic, will they be able to manage to pay for it or will they be made to put down their pet for financial reasons?Even though pet owners can try to hold the surprising veterinary clinic fees at bay by providing superb pet world attention for their pets, making certain their pet is fed correctly, kept well groomed and of a healthy and balanced weight, even the most careful conscious pet owner won't protect against every thing.Pet insurance is just one way to protect against veterinarian costs from growing to be vast. But what specifically is it, and is it genuinely as silly as it appears? Perhaps not. In fact, it might be quite wise. This specific type of insurance isn't concerning paying you cash if the animal should die; it's about paying out should your animal require surgical treatment, long-term medical care or treatment.An crucial factor to take into account is whether or not it will be truly worth insuring your furry friend. Will the vets' bills be so massive to be worth forking out the monthly payments? The response to this query will probably be pertinent to the type of animal you have.If you have a cat, dog or horse, the response to this question is most likely yes and you could well benefit from getting pet insurance. You are likely to be more aware of the actuality that a dog or cat is ill and in need of professional medical attention, plus if the unfortunate transpires, they might well need putting to sleep in later years.On the flip side, if you own a mouse or rat, it is much less probable to require professional medical attention for a number of reasons (including the simple fact that it lives in a cage for most of it's life and it has a expected lifetime of about 4 years) so it would probably not be worth obtaining pet insurance for it.If your choice of animal is rare and more exotic in the pet world, insurance providers are in all likelihood going to ask bigger fees to insure it.When obtaining pet insurance, think of the following:-The Age of Your PetGenerally there are commonly age restrictions for pet insurance. A lot of companies won't even consider covering your pet for the very first time after it has passed a specified age. Typically this age is about 8 or 10 but for a few specialist breeds can be as low as 5.Typically speaking, once your animal is covered by insurance, the insurer will normally continue on to provide protection for it for the majority of its lifetime. Having said that, this is not necessarily the case with all insurance companies and some may well halt providing protection, or restrict it, when your family pet actually gets to the insurance provider's cut-off age limit. Please make sure you take a look at the pet insurance provider's rules on this ahead of acquiring a policy.Before you decide to obtain pet insurance be sure you check what happens to the insurance policy as your furry friend ages because certain insurers could increase the fee for the payments or excess as time passes. In the event that insurers do offer first-time cover for older pets, it may just be much more pricey. Because of this, we are able to view that it is perhaps far better insure your pet from a younger age.Is your Animal a PedigreePet world research have revealed that the price of possessing pedigree pets is as much as a 1/3 more costly than owning a cross-breed. It's claimed that the biggest reason for the greater day-to-day costs of owning a pedigree pet is the sum spent on vets' bills.Pedigree animals might incur increased vets' bills due to the fact certain breeds are susceptible to genetic ailments which might require long-lasting medication.Valuable PetsIf the animal is worth a substantial price this is enough of a reason to cover it, exactly like you would a high priced car or possessions.The majority of pets definitely don't come cheap if something were to occur to the pet in the early stages of its lifetime, you'll probably be out of pocket and not able to afford a further pet so soon. Quite a few health insurance policies can provide protection for the replacement of one's pet in the event of death or theft.Is there a Risk When contemplating getting pet insurance, make sure you take into account the risk elements that a pet incurs every single day. This really is because they can highly influence how frequently you will need to ring your insurance company to make a claim and could as a result mean you might need a distinct amount of cover.For example, if you have an indoor cat it is quite improbable to get involved in a vehicle accident but could possibly be be subject to other threats. For those who have an outdoor cat and reside close to a rather busy street, it can be more often than not that your cat could be involved in a car accident. Nevertheless, if you have an outdoor cat but are living out in the countryside, your cat is at a reduced risk of coming into contact with passing vehicles.Usually, the lower the risk factor, the cheaper the price for the insurance premium. That won't imply if the risk factor reaches its least, you no longer require insurance mainly because your pet can still become in poor health itself without any impact from an outside source.With the possible risks that a pet comes close to in the pet world will make certain that the insurance you obtain will be better suited to your own personal situation.Being able to Afford the Right InsuranceFor anyone who is encountering finance issues, you may well be thinking that pet insurance is often a expense you can't manage. In all honesty, it is likely that sooner or later in your pet's lifetime, it may need some sort of medical attention.The lowest level of pet insurance is a good deal less costly than consumers consider and, despite the fact that this will not cover every last need, it is best to have some form of cover than nothing whatsoever. Insurance firms offer you payment programmes where one can pay your insurance premiums on a month to month basis to spread the cost. The majority of the big insurance comparability internet sites now give pet insurance comparisons for the big insurance providers. By paying only a couple of pounds monthly, you certainly will protect yourself from significant unexpected vets' bills. But please don't forget, in the event you make up your mind not to buy insurance cover, the pet world can be a pricey place to be.
