Why do people keep pets? What is that pushes them to spend their extra time, attention, expense on some random animal? Why people are ready to make a pet a part of the family? Some of the obvious reasons can be to shed boredom, to make their children happy, to establish a status in society owning a pedigree or may be just to get a companion. They don’t speak human yet we try to bind them into an owner-pet bond, which not only provides a love-affection binding but a lot more. Though they are categorized as animals and claimed to not understand human emotions, they still and time and again have proved to be our best friends.

So how keeping a pet helps us live better? Let us have a look.

7. Human needs and Benifits

Pets were basically used to fulfill needs of humans, for domestication. The poultry and dairy pets are kept for wool, flesh, milk and eggs. The horses and donkeys carry our loads. Some are even for leisure and sports. A dog for protection and cats and other small pets are for companionship and leisure. The basic need was to fulfill our own day to day needs that we began petting animals. With time it has developed from a benificial relationship to a good companionship.

6. Routine your Life

Once a pet comes into your life, you get to shed off the procrastination you carry out every day. No matter how lazy you are, you need to get up to feed your pet, clean it up, play with it, may be take it out for walk but overall you will enjoy all of it. With the well on time feeds and walks, regular cleaning and grooming, you will surely end up retuning the clock of your life while doing it for your pet.

5. Increase your social circle

Yes that’s true! When you take your pet out for a walk you will always meet up other owners and tend to interact with them. You meet people in training centers, clubs, pet stores, pet shows and public parks. Believe me, you end up going out and making new buddies when you are out there with your pet, the conversation starting by talking about each others pets and their behavior. You may progress from having a cup of coffee together to being really good friends!

4. Family Bonding

Children love playing around with pets. They can be one of the reasons for your kid’s joyous day to day activities. Kids can learn to develop affectionate and caring nature from the very beginning, by regular petting and pampering their pets. Even the elderly, who sometimes feel lonely and don’t mingle up with other members of family, get to have a companion and to enjoy lives by spending time with pets. A pet generates affection, laughter fun and exuberance among the people it lives around and hence gets the family together.

3. Relieving Anxiety

Touching, petting, pampering, cuddling your pet can reduce stress levels considerably low. Remarkable behavior changes have been observed in prisoners who have been exposed to being with pets. A sense of comfort and satisfaction is observed in spending time with pet. Your pet always tends to divert your mind and attention to pull it towards it. It is scientifically proved that pet owners are less likely to suffer depression than those who don’t have one. There have been many good outcomes of keeping a pet considering health, behavior, fitness stress etc. Also it is very satisfying to take care of another living creature. According to a research, presented in American Heart Association, the stress and blood pressure levels in stockbrokers, who had been on medication, had come down significantly come down, after they took to petting an animal along with medication. The affectionate bond and support can help in reducing stress that is a major contributor to cardiovascular problems.

2. Exercise

Well, not all pets can help you stay fit but most of them can. Take for example of your pet dog or cat. Regular morning and evening walks is good for your pet and healthy for you too. If you are not a regular gym person then make a habit to go for regular walks with your pet or chase your kitty around playfully. That will not only keep you healthy physically but mentally too you will stay off stress and diverted and devoted towards your pet.

1. Companionship

That is one of the most considered reasons for keeping a pet. A new member in family is always welcomed like a guest and so is a pet. Why because you always look forward to develop that bond with your pet. Sometimes even the closest people betray you and you seem alone and lost. But when you have a pet along it gives a sense of comfort and company to be with. A good pet will always try to interact with you or least keep you busy and try building a bond with you if taken well care of.

Do animals have spirits? Do they also become ghosts after they die as many people believe about humans? Perhaps yes. There are many instances, where humans have experienced or felt their pets, better to say apparition of them, long after they have gone to their heavenly abode. It is believed that owners with strong bond with their pets, who suffered great loss after their sudden death, are often approached by ghosts of their pets to remind them that they are alright wherever they are and not to worry about them. It can be a made up story and hypothetical theory, no one knows. Also there are many contradictory questions to it like can only animal pets return as ghosts or if even insects like mosquitoes can come back as phantom animals from the afterlife. Below is a countdown of stories that make you twitch in your seats and leave you baffled. Have a look.

5. Ghost of Ozzy

This is story about a pet ferret, which had to be put down by the owner because of serious illness. Ozzy used to live in the owners grandmother’s house with another pet cat and both were best buddies. After the ferret’s demise, her grandmother started experiencing certain unexpected activities. She claims that every night she felt something climbing under her covers, near her feet. She even tried keeping the night lights on, stripping the bed covers, suspecting it can be mice, but nothing turned up. Also she noticed the cat’s behavior change as if it was playing with Ozzy, as it used to when the ferret was alive. Though her grandmother’s can’t see anything but she is convinced that their pet is still around them and comes to sleep right next to her feet every night.

4. Bandit came Back

This story might not be easy to believe so does every other ghost story unless it is scary. This begins when the owner’s pet died unexpected death while being treated for some illness which it suffered from past three months. The owner was quite attached to the dog and was devastated on hearing the news of his pet dog. Sad and not able to get over this tragedy, one night he went to bed and woke up out of his body. He sat up and looked around to find his dog’s twin sister sleeping at his feet. The room turned dark and he saw his dog, Bandit against his leg, looking at him. Though he didn’t feel scared but certainly he was taken aback. Bandit looked healthy, fresh and wagged its tail continuously. It jumped down and ran off in distance looking back at his owner and wagging his tail. He then woke up suddenly but the out-of-body experience was so realistic that he made a dash to his brother’s room and told him about it. The dog carried a message to his owner as to not worry for it and that he is happy now.

3. Ghost Friend

In one of the cases the owner’s daughter suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since she was 12. Due to this she was in discomfort most of the time. But the strange part was that from the past couple of years she had been telling her mother that a ghost visited her and sat on her bed when she really felt sad. She claimed that it always sat right next to her feet and the mattress would depress right there when it would sit. Suddenly a realization dawned upon her mother who was dead sure now that it was their cat Andy, whom they had lost couple of years back. How? Well, Andy, when alive used to follow the same routine when her daughter would have been sad before.

2. Diabolic Cat

Not satisfied with the above stories? How about a ghost cat lurking around in Washington D.C? Demon D.C is the name given to the cat that haunts the government buildings in Washington D.C. The story behind it begins when cats were brought in the basement tunnel of the building to get rid of the rat menace. As the legend goes, there is a black cat ghost that is seen before and after the presidential elections in Washington D.C. It was spotted by the White House guards, the night before John F. Kennedy’s and Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The cat is said enlarge to the size of a tiger and even pounce on its victim and disappear in mid air. In an incident in 1890, one of the guards had fired at it while the other got a heart after seeing it, though it vanished.

1. Out of Ouija

Calley had a pet cat called Princy, which was seven human years when it had died few years back. This story is about two curious friends who played with Ouija Board one night. Dangerous as it is, they tried with the game and started asking question to the spirits like, ‘What is your name?’ and ‘How old were you when you died?’ The thing that frightened them was when the board replied that its name was Princy and it is seven years old. After finishing off the game, strange things started happening day by day. Calley heard moans of cat, the same she had heard when Princy was dying. Often she would here purring sounds in the basement which would often scare her. All this continued for some time but eventually dropped to nothing. Calley thinks it was Princy’s way of saying goodbye to her owner.

Birds make good pets, but before I begin I would like to add a personal note to it. If you really want to keep birds as pets don’t cage them all the time. They have got wings for a reason. So if you saw your neighbor getting a pair of love birds home and you wish to get a bird friend too, go for a parrot. Parrots are social and intelligent birds. They are trainable and develop very strong bonds with their owners. You can cuddle them; play with them, they simple love interaction, be it with their owners or other parrots. Now that you have decided upon buying a pet parrot, you have got a number of species to choose from.

 Parrots as Pets

There are a lot of things to keep in mind if you have decided to keep a parrot as pet. Some of them include cost, space available in house, interaction and time spent with your pet. Generally parrots’ diet includes a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, sprouts, nuts and seeds. Parrots create a lot of mess while eating; one has to be patient to clean the cage regularly. Be careful when you let the parrot out of cage, usually parrots have tendency of chewing upon things like furniture. Protect your belongings before you let the parrot out of the cage. Parrots need exercise and should be left free to roam around in the house. May be you can make a place to play around. Parrots screech and create lot of noise. The owners should be committed towards the pet, and should give enough time and attention to the pet. Parrots are social birds. They need attention from their owners. They might get irritated and can cause a lot of destruction if not comfortable. If you think you can’t pay required attention to your bird pet, then better by it a companion.

Parakeets

These tiny parrots are about 7 to 12 inches in length. Caring for parakeet involves going for regular round to a veterinarian, even at first signs of illness. Also parakeets shouldn’t be kept with other species of parrots, they don’t along much together. It might lead to behavioral problems. Parakeets are good at learning and can be easily trained. They can be trained to talk, sit on owners shoulder, perform tricks etc. But all of this is only possible if your pet is comfortable with you. A strong bond needs to be built before you start making him learn things. They love petting and pampering. Care need to be taken care as they get ill easily. Proper cleaning of cage, regular change in water, washing of food and water dishes, regular exercise, and proper nutrition needs to be taken care of. The bird’s cage should be placed at some secure place, away from too much noise and direct sunlight.

Cockatiel

They are usually grey or cream yellow in color with blushing cheek patches. The difference between male and female is so undistinguishable visibly that a DNA test needs to be done. Cockatiels require more seeds in their food. Some other food items include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, corn and few fruits like apple, mango, pear and pineapple. Chocolates, ice-creams, pastries etc should be strictly avoided. These birdies require big cages, preferably longer in length than in height. Cockatiels don’t usually learn to talk but males can be made to talk and whistle more likely than females. Patient and soft training sessions can possible earn good results. Breeding is a little difficult and requires time and commitment. It is best practice to delay breeding until your pet is mentally and physically mature enough.

Parrotlets

The most popular parrot species is a beautiful blue colored Pacific Parrotlet as the name justifies. Now several colored mutations have been developed though. These species though puny are bolder than expected on seeing their size. There are different species even in Parrotlets based on their color and size. Green Parrotlets are a little smaller than Pacifics and slightly intimidated by new things while Spectacle Parrotlets, which are similar to Greens in size, turn out to be more curious and inquisitive. The cage size for parrotlets should be 18” in length breadth and height on an average. The cage should be longer than being tall. These species require a lot of food in contrast to their size. This mostly includes fresh fruits and veggies, grains, seeds and high protein foods. Fresh clean water is must for you pet. They bond well with person who spend maximum time with them.

African Grey

Considered to be the most intellegent of  all parrot species, it originally belonging to Africa, is about 12 to 13 inches in length from beak to tail. A big bird, if you have decided to pet it, you should consider having a big cage and spacious living place for your parrot. They will give you company till 50, although some can even live till the age of 70+. These are intelligent beings and that shows in their behavior. They are affectionate towards their owners, but if bored or frustrated it will create havoc. As the name says they have grey feathers, with threads of white over the fur and black beak. They have shiny red tail color in contrast to old grey look. Like other parrots their diet includes fresh fruits and vegetables but they can even be fed pelleted food along with egg, cheese bits and nuts and seeds. They provide a good company and can easily be trained to talk. If properly cared for they develop strong bond with their owners. But care should be taken as to what you speak in front of them as they tend to repeat everything and remember it too all thanks to their high IQ levels. That may land you in trouble later.

Macaws

Macaws are large, colorful parrots named after their feather colors like scarlet macaws, blue and gold macaws, military macaws and hyacinth macaws. There also exist mini-macaws which include species like Hahn’s noble and yellow colored macaws. They reach to a length of 20 – 40 inches depending upon the species. The life span is about 30-50 years though if cared well they live beyond that. They are playful, exuberant, and affectionate and remain happy when they get enough attention from their owners. Yes they screech, they are loud and noisy. They have excellent ability to imitate but not as good as African Grey. Macaws need large cage about 24”x36”x48” for an average size macaw. The cage must be strong enough to withstand their strong beaks. Since they are quite playful, you can get them wooden toys to chew upon and play with and some hangings to climb upon. Their diet can include pelleted food with usual fresh fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds.

Doberman, the name itself sounds quirky. Though it is a common pet breed, people have stereotyped this dog as more of a temperamental and aggressive breed. On the contrary they are loyal and obedient family dogs. With their strong built, alertness and intelligence, these dogs were earlier used as guard dogs, police dogs and even war dogs but it has turned out to be less common these days. With their ferocity they tend to show aggressive behavior towards strangers and other dogs, but when it comes to their owner, they are most loving and protective. It is highly unlikely that they show aggression towards their owners.

History

This breed is not an original one but is said to be a pedigree of many other species which includes Rottweiler, German pinscher, Great Dane, German shepherd, Manchester terrier, and English greyhound. You would be surprised to know that the Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a local tax collector in the German state of Thuringia around 1890 created the breed so as to provide him protection during his collections in different places. His aim was to have a dog that would not only be loyal and intelligent but would also turn into a ferocious animal to protect his owner. With the birth of Doberman Pinscheres, two gentlemen namely, Otto Goeller and Philip Greunig continued developing the breed which came out to be the dog that we see today.

Appearance

Dobermans have athletic body. Males are muscular and females are a little thin comparatively. They standing up to height of 64cm and weigh roughly 41kgs, on an average. They have short fur coat usually black or brown in color with patches or tans. They don’t require much grooming.  With slender bodies and square build these dogs are a perfect combination of strength, agility, ferocity and intelligence. Your watchful dog would surely protect you from the unwanted strangers but it will also turn out to be an obedient family pet.

Tails

Doberman have long tails naturally, not as we see them around. The tail gets is deliberately cut short by docking, wherein a major part of the tail is surgically removed. Originally it was done to ensure that the tail doesn’t come in the way of dog’s work. Also the natural tail is quite long and slender. Being hit by a Doberman’s undocked tail is more like a whip, so people prefer to dock their Dobie’s tail although it is a illegal practice in some European countries and Australia, including cropping of their ears.

Health

Your dog will give you a good company for 10 to12 years, on average. But there may be certain health issues with dogs, especially Doberman Pinschers that develop a cardiac disease that causes uncertain deaths among this breed. The disease turns out to be fatal to the affected dog most of the times. According to studies Dobermans even have chances of suffering from prostatic diseases more than any other breed. Neutering the dog can reduce this risk by considerable levels.  Doberman has a muscular built and remain highly active. They require regular exercise on daily basis else they become restless and irritated. A morning and evening walk would keep your dog healthy and happy too. These dogs are loyal and quite attached to their owners. Being a good owner you should always spend quality time with your pet patting and pampering it. This is good for making a healthy bond between you and your dog.

These intelligent mammals show aggression depending upon the situation and are generally sociable towards humans. Known for their traits like powerful, fearless, energetic and loyal, Doberman have a calmer and gentle side to their temperament too. Obedience can be incurred into the dog since early age and they can be trained to socializing around humans and other animals.

The post Pets love to have!!! appeared first on Pet Attack.

Have you ever thought why is it always a dog when we talk about the pet? Do you know why the dog takes a first role in the pet list?

Well, whenever we ask the people a question like, ‘what kind of pet do you have? Or which pet do you like the most?’ they usually reply ‘I have a dog, named so-so …Or I love dog very much than other…’ Have you ever thought why it always is? Yes, it is all because of its distinct characteristics.

Generally, the dogs have unique characteristics and habitats among the other pets. Though it is a second class creator, it has tendency to draw the people towards it. The physical structure of the dog is more appealing than other. They got to have a long lovely nose at the front and an erotic tail at the back. And, they got to have a neither not too long nor too short tubical (tube + cylindrical) body structure with four beam based leg at four corners. And, we could find anal part at the rear end of the body. And, if it is a female dog (bitch), the feeding nipples will be seen over the body under the tubical structure. This is the way the dogs look like.

What do you think when you hear the word ‘the dog’? Cute?? Lovely?? Caring?? Ah… Each people have distinct thought on the dogs. But the similar and the most crucial fact on the dogs are ‘the Faith’. Yes, the faith is the most impact on the dogs. It is more faithful than the other pet, even to the human. The faith of the dogs can’t be compared to any other pets, which is primarily outstanding. It is all, may be, because of its incomparable faith, the dogs have been chosen as the pet (first pet) in the early period. Yes, the dog is the very first animal announced as a domestic pet, which can be treated as a dearie.

The dogs have a lot of and the great magnificence characters, other than the faith, to draw the people towards it. The dogs are quite good in hearing, smelling, hunting, showing care and love, guarding, playing, and searching and so on. Yes, really the dogs got some skills and their own way to tend the people. That’s why, the dogs were considered as ‘the people’s bestie’.

At sometimes and somewhere, the people call the dogs as ‘the people’s slave’ because the dogs are really faithful and do the work suchlike what its master demand. The dogs are well known pet that always go with its master’s word as such. The dogs would have seriously got some strong skills in following its master. The dogs, not only follow its master, it do care about and show its love for its master.

Impute to its magnificence, the dogs were used in various sector such as, in police department, security guard, sports, showcase and so on. The dogs, not only used in various sector, it have being used by individual need too, like, guarding the land, guarding the sheep from wolf (traditional fact), hunting and finding, playing, showcasing, etc. Seriously, the dogs are more useful than the people imagine. In Korea, in China and in Vietnam, the people serving the dogs as a food in the restaurant and street shop. Yes, they even named the dish as ‘Gaegogi’. The way they providing the dogs are as a meat and as a soup to the people. They have thought that, the dog meat and its soup are really good for health and it must be a medicine for some unknown disease. They still have thought that the dogs would have some more specialties like, for beauty case, cosmetics, etc.

Though the dogs were made as a dish, still the dogs have some favorite dish to be eaten. The most likely food for the dogs was meat. But, the dogs come under Omnivores; it could be able to eat vegetables and grains along. The dogs commute between Omnivore and Carnivores, according to its master. If the dogs were fed only by meat, then it grownup as Carnivores, else it fed by meat along with vegetables and grain, then it grownup as Omnivores. The dogs classifications are purely depend on its master.

As a pet, the dogs should have something like to do and something liked to be done. In such case, the dogs were loved to play with the ball. Yes, they like to catch or find the thrown ball or dish (a flat circular plate shaped) by its master. This is the most favorite game to the dogs. And seriously, the dogs are loved to be cuddled by its master. Though its grownup, the dogs were loved to be pampered. The cuddling points for the dogs are below neck and rear end of the ear. These are sensitive and secretive point for the dogs to flatter.

Ah… May be, that’s why, it always is ‘the dog’? Yes, of course, it always is, because of this. Though the dogs can be any variety or any breed but the fact and magnificence are similar in the almost cases. That’s why; I love dog and possess a dog, named Viki.
