Christmas Pet Shopping: Will our Pets Suffer From the Poor Economy?
In such a volatile and fragile economic environment, the consumers’ normal tendency is to cut back on spending.
But in doing so, many people do not realize that they often end up buying a lesser quality product, which ultimately has to be replaced more often than if they had invested in higher valued (and often better quality- after all, there is great truth in the expression “you get what you pay for”…) merchandise.
The wise thing to do is to look for a few criteria when purchasing any item, including pet products.
Functionality, quality, safety, durability, price and of course style.
Whiner and Diner is a pet product company which puts high value on all of the above.
Their wine crate Eco-luxury dog and cat accessories are functional, high quality, durable, safe and healthy for pets. Because they are expertly hand-crafted out of reclaimed wooden wine crates, they are indeed stylish and Eco-friendly to boot.
They simply offer great value and are made in the USA.
Check out the Whiner and Diner pet toy boxes in any color, but red or green would make a great Holiday gift for any wine and pet lover.
And why not fill it with cute, pet toys to complete the ultimate Christmas gift.
And let’s not forget our less fortunate furry friends: the US economy is in dire straits, and too many pets are paying the price. The raising number of abandoned dogs and cats is becoming overwhelming. Our shelters are filling up with “foreclosure pets”, given up by owners affected by the economic turmoil.
“Sorry, I can’t pay my mortgage, I can’t take care of my kids, I can’t take care of my dog…Please, take care of him…” reads a note attached to a dog tied to a shelter’s front door. This is just heartbreaking!
But we can all help: donate what you can (pet food, clothing, toys, etc…) to your local shelter, visit The Human Society to find out how you can help them.
And if you are thinking about giving a pet as a Chritmas gift to a friend or a family member, please don’t!!! Unless it has been discussed with the gift recipient, it is not a good idea! Too many Christmas Pets end up in shelters after the Holiday Season.
Instead, give a Pet Adoption certificate from you local shelter , along with a book about animal care and training, and let them decide…Hopefully, they will rescue a dog or cat from the shelter.
There are many ways to help restore our economy. And refueling it by spending our money is one of them! We just need to do it wisely!
Catherine Simms is the Creative Director of Whiner and Diner Eco-Friendly Pet Accessories ,specialized in unique hand-crafted , high-end wooden wine crate dog and cat feeders, toy boxes and beds.

Places To Find Pets; Advantages Of Adopting From A Shelter
Where should you look for a pet? You may have seen a sign posted somewhere advertising free puppies or kittens. Occasionally there may be a person who owns a pet that has just given birth to a litter who is giving puppies or kittens away. Breeds that are rare and purebred animals may be sold instead of given away. The newspaper is another place that you can find puppies and kittens for adoption. Advertising in the newspaper costs money so expect to pay for any pets advertised.
An animal shelter is a very reliable source for animal adoptions. Stray dogs and cats often end up at an animal shelter after being picked up by animal control. Litters of puppies and kittens are sometimes dropped off at an animal shelter where they can be adopted. Some pet owners relinquish ownership of their pets to a shelter when they become unable to care for their pet anymore due to lifestyle changes. Adopting a pet from an animal shelter will save an animal from being euthanized. Common reasons for euthanizing an animal are aggressive behavior, rabies, terminal illness, a crippling problem that would cause suffering to the animal if it continues to live, old age, and lack of space. Some shelters have a no-kill policy. A no-kill shelter receives subsidies and donations from private sources that allows them to avoid euthanizing animal for non-medical reasons.
Adopting a pet from a shelter usually has a fee associated with it, but the pet you will be adopting will have vaccinations and will be spayed or neutered. In most cases the cost is less than buying a pet from a breeder or a pet store. You can find listings for humane societies and pet adoption centers in the phone book or through the internet. Lots of animal shelters have their own websites.

Adopting a Pet from a Shelter Can be a Blessing for You and Your New Furry Friend
This subject is near and dear to me.
You see. I did adopt a dog from a pet shelter. In fact, you have probably seen a picture of him in some of the articles I have written. His name is Romeo (my daughter named him). He is the sweetest, most affectionate dog we have ever owned.
Of course you have several alternatives when you start the process of selecting a family pet. You can check through the newspaper for ads by breeders who have puppies or kittens for sale.
This is important. I don’t recommend buying a puppy from a pet store. Most of the pets come from puppy mills. There are some exceptions.
I know the puppies are cute. The owner of the store may have good intentions. But puppy mills produce dogs that, very likely, may later have health problems. So be extremely cautious if you go this route.
When you are adopting a pet from a pet shelter, you are not just adding a new friend to your family.
You are reducing the number of homeless and unwanted pets in the area where you live.
You very possibly have saved the cat or dog’s life. This is a great reason to choose pet adoption.
When you do adopt a pet from a pet shelter, you can be very confident that a veterinarian has fully examined the pet and given it a clean bill of health.
You will know that the pet is free of any disease and has received all his shots. This is not always true for a pet you purchase from an ad in the newspaper.
In today’s difficult economy, there are many pets left in pet shelters by good, pet-loving families.
Because of financial problems, they may have chosen to give the pet up for adoption.
As a result, you may be able to adopt a high quality, purebred dogs from the pet shelter. Therefore, you can probably adopt a purebred dog at a very reasonable cost. Many of these dogs are house trained and get along well with all people. Most of the time, this type of information, as well as information regarding the dog’s background, health, and family history have been made available to the pet shelter.
I completely respect those people who have made the decision to give up their pet for adoption because of financial or other personal problems. Chances are that this was a difficult, heart-breaking decision they were forced to make. They chose this route rather than abandoning the poor pet.
After adopting a pet, the new pet owner’s responsibility has just begun.
It is so important to feed you new pet the high quality, nutritious dog and cat food and treats, your pet deserves. Feeding low quality, inexpensive food will only cause medical problems and higher costs for you down the road.
You can take a look at Romeo. Keep in mind that he is not a purebred dog. He is just a mutt. But he is a wonderful dog.
Romeo gets high quality, nutritious dog food and treats every day. He is extremely healthy. At six years old, he only goes to the vet for an annual check-up and shots. He walks with me 2-4 miles every day.
Obviously I highly recommend adopting a pet from a pet shelter. It is a great way to add a wonderful friend to your family.
