Camping with your pet brings the whole family together to enjoy the experience instead of leaving the four-footed member of the family behind to worry about.

It’s no fun to be cooped up in a kennel for a weekend or longer when the rest of the family is out having a good time. If your pet is physically able, well behaved and eager to go, wouldn’t it be nice to take him along for the trip?

Just as you would pack what items to bring along for you, don’t overlook what your pet may need to keep him comfortable too. Being prepared with the right essentials and equipment is the key to ensure a happy time on the road and in the woods. Keep in mind also of when and where you plan to camp. The time of year and geographical location of your campsite can make a big difference in how and what you prepare for your camping trip. Know what the weather conditions are likely to be and pack accordingly.

Consider these tips to make your camping experience with your pet more enjoyable:

* Check out the campgrounds, parks or wherever you plan to visit well in advance to make sure they accept pet campers. You can search Pet-Friendly Attractions on PetTravelCenter.com for these.

* Find out what types of facilities they have on site, such as dog runs, off-leash areas, drinking water, etc.

* Do they allow off-leash pets on nearby hiking trails?

*Is there a size restriction or a limit in the number of pets you can bring along?

Don’t forget about your pet’s safety in getting him to your destination either.  Read more...

Oh, the problems of pest birds. They invade our neighborhoods, our parks and our restaurants. They dive bomb our sporting events, our parades and barbeques. If you own or are in charge of commercial property, they’ve no doubt cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in cleanups and repairs. You know, better than most, the damage pest birds can cause: the discolored paint, the disintegrating stone and metalwork, and the health hazards bird droppings can create.

If you’re a pilot, you shudder at the thought of a pest bird getting caught in your engine and remember well U.S. Airways flight 1549, which had to make a forced landing in the Hudson River when geese flew into its engines. If you’re a grower or foodstuffs supplier, pest birds have probably cost you time and considerable expense as they devoured your crop and ate into your storage bins and crates.

You’ve been tempted to eliminate your fine-feathered pests by buckshot or poison. But you’ve read so much about humane bird deterrents. And you’re willing to give them a try. So what exactly is out there to rid you of these pests?

We’ll start with what’s known as “Bird Scare” products. You affix these reflective foil or flash tape deterrents to your boat mast, patio or tree and watch as they frighten birds away. You can also get blow-up balloons emblazoned with threatening predator eyes. Birds avoid these because they create a “fear factor” zone that makes them uncomfortable. Be sure to change the position and color of these deterrents, since birds get used to them in short order.

Similar in principle to foils and balloons in its ability to deter pest birds is the Bird Spider. The spindly spider arms spin around, discouraging birds from landing. Ideal for use on patios, awnings, boat covers and other flat areas, spiders come in various diameters to deter different sized birds.  Read more...
