			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Crates/"><img class="alignleft" title="Dog Crates from RadioFence.com" src="http://www.radiofence.com/product_images/d/861/cage-crate-cover__40050_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>Wooden end table dog crates in oak or hardwood are not just an ordinary dog cage but a beautiful piece of furniture. These gorgeous pieces for furniture known as a dog crate table can be a fun and stylish addition to your home decor.</p>
<p>Some pet owners seem to think wire dog crates tend to be a bit unattractive for indoor use. Have you ever seen one that you would want in your living room?</p>

These dog cages are thoughtfully designed to accommodate ordinary sized crate pads and cushions.</p>

<p>These stylish <a title="Wood Dog Crates" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Crates/">wood dog crates</a> also save space because the can be pushed right up against furniture and look absolutely great.</p>
<p>Just like ordinary dog crates these end table crates provide a secure spot for your pet to nap or relax and call his own. These crates are handcrafted dog crates made of solid wood and wood composites with a sturdy metal latch to keep your dog confined when necessary. Much more appealing than a metal pet cage.</p>
<p>When considering purchasing a dog crate end table you must realize that they are a little more costly. If you don&#8217;t need to move it around and just want to use it as an end table crate it is well worth the money to have that stylish look in your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Beds/"><img class="alignleft" title="Cosy Cave Dog Beds at RadioFence.com" src="http://www.radiofence.com/product_images/i/448/luxury-cosy-cave-red2__93618_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>In different parts of the world, there are different breeds of dogs. Dogs need some level of rest just like human beings. Dog beds are very essential, nevertheless, dogs are thought to be mans closest friend and should receive better care. A normal dog sleeps an average of 14 hours a day thus a comfortable bed offers them good rest.</p>
<p>There are various sizes of dogs; some are small while others are big. An example of a small dog is the Chihuahua and that of the big dog is the Irish wolfhound. All dogs have similar traits but to some extent, they all have special characteristics like human beings. For that reason, there are various factors to consider when selecting a <a title="Dog Beds at RadioFence.com" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Beds/">dog bed</a>.</p>
<p>To begin with, you should deliberate on the size of the dog, as mentioned earlier. It will be inappropriate for a dog owner to purchase a big dog cot for a small dog. This will look funny and will take up a larger space in the room. For a puppy, one might want to buy a larger bed that it will grow into. Dog beds for puppies do not require a lot of cushioning because the puppy is still small and has less weight to weigh it down.</p>
<p>When the owner wants a long lasting bed, he should consider that the puppy will grow big. Hence, he should buy a larger bed. The owner can also purchase a less expensive bed for the puppy and replace it with a bigger one when it grows. For long lasting beds, it is wise to select one that is firm in its cushioning since it will be required to hold more weight in the future.</p>
<p>Another factor that you should bear in mind when buying a dog bed is one that comes with a washable cover. Dog beds can start to smell with time. The odor is not pleasing and can be embarrassing because many dog owners place them in prominent view of guests. Having one that has a washable cover solves the problem. You can also match the color of the washable cover with the general color theme of your house.</p>
<p>Age should also be another factor to consider when buying a dog bed because as dogs grow older, they require much care. They tend to have stiff joints just like old aged people. Their bed should be well padded and made of memory foam; they can also have a bed that is heated. This kind of bed is especially good for caring for the minor aches and pains experienced in their joints.</p>
<p>There are those dog beds stuffed with cedar that assist in keeping away fleas. This kind of bed is not always appropriate in all homes such as in homes where a dog has to share the bed with a cat. Cats are allergic to cedar hence it can harm them.</p>
<p>In many case, dog beds are flat and thick padded. They are usually oval, round or rectangular. The most common style for dog beds is the cot that is lifted a few inches from the floor. The materials are mesh or cool fabrics. With all these in mind you can purchase the perfect dog bed to fit your preference and style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Training-Collars/"><img class="alignleft" title="Dog Training Shock Collars" src="http://www.radiofence.com/product_images/r/677/sd-1225-sportdog-sport-hunter__18860_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>There are many people that would argue that <a title="Dog Training Shock Collars" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Training-Collars/">shock collars</a> are inhumane and cruel but shock collars are made to help the dog. If the dog does not learn to listen to his master he could end up hurt or even worst dead. Have you ever had a dog run into the street while you were calling him to come back and then he got hit by a car. This would not happen to a dog that had been trained by shock collars.</p>
<p>Dogs that are trained with shock collars do not have to wear the collar all the time. They only have to wear it until they learn how to listen to their master. It is for the dogs on safety. These collars do not harm your dog. Experts have said that the shock from one of these collars is like an electric static shock to us. It isn&#8217;t painful but it is a bit aggravating.</p>
<p>All the shock collar does is gets the dogs attention. They learn much quicker with these collars because it is annoying to get shocked when they do wrong. You should also give them a treat when they do something right. This will help to teach them much quicker.</p>
<p>They should be able to have the collar taken off fairly quickly if you use the shock collar and treats while training them. If you are not familiar with a shock collar it is very important that you read the instructions that come with it before you try to use it.</p>
<p>There are several settings on a shock collar and you do not want to hurt your dog. It is always best to start out on the lowest setting. Once your dog is trained the collar can come off and they will still listen to your commands as if the collar were still on.</p>
<p>There are different collars for different trainings. Before you buy your collar you should speak with the person selling them and tell them what it is you are wanting to train your dog to do. You should also measure your dogs neck before you go buy the collar so that you can be sure you get the right size.</p>
<p>There are shock collars for a lot of different things. You can buy shock collars to keep your dog from barking. It will give your dog a little jolt every time he barks. It wont take him long to figure out why he is getting jolted and the barking will stop and the shock collar can come off.</p>
<p>Unlike the <a title="Bark Shock Collars" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Bark-Collars/">barking shock collar</a> that does not have a device for you to press the training collars do. When you are training your dog to stop barking you do not need to press a button to send a shock because the collar does that on it&#8217;s on. But with a training collar the collar is not able to tell if the dog is doing what you want so you have to press the button to send a jolt through the collar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/products/PetSafe-Wireless-Instant-Dog-Fence.html"><img class="alignleft" title="PetSafe Wireless Intant Dog Fence" src="http://www.radiofence.com/product_images/t/626/petsafe-instant-fence__12360_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>In case your city does not allow you to develop a solid dog fence, or else you simply do not need to set up something which will obstruct the view of your house, a <a title="Wireless Dog Fences" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Wireless-Dog-Fences/">wireless dog fence</a> may be the perfect solution for you personally. Also called an invisible dog fence, it can help you train your pet to stay inside the boundaries you set for him by making him uncomfortable when he tries to go beyond the designated area.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re indeed faster to set up than the usual traditional underground pet fence since there are no wires to bury or affix to any fixed objects. To program your WiFi wireless dog fence, you place the wireless dog fence transmitter in the house, walk your dog fence receiver out to the outer perimeter boundary you desire, return to the bottom unit and save your valuable settings. That does sound pretty easy right? &#8220;Easy&#8221; I&#8217;ve discovered is really a relative thing when it comes to new technology.</p>
<p>If everything goes well during set up&#8230; yes it is not difficult. Setting up home computer wireless router was said to be relatively simple in concept too, but it took a little trial and error, some &#8220;trouble shooting&#8221; guide reading, and system reloading to have it to operate consistently. My Vonage internet phone set up was easy theoretically if all went well too, but it took a couple of attempts but still even today (for whatever reason) I need to reboot the system to have it up and running again or I don&#8217;t have proper service. My wired electronic dog fence? &#8230;I simply plugged it in and started training the dogs.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Underground-Dog-Fences/"><img class="alignright" title="Underground Dog Fences from RadioFence.com" src="http://www.radiofence.com/product_images/n/143/petsafe-standard-underground-dog-fence__22510_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>A <a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Underground-Dog-Fences/">radio dog fence</a> works inside a technical way called static simulation training. You determine the boundaries by installing the wire underground. After the wire is installed, you will make your pet wear a special collar which will deliver a tone along with a mild static shock to him whenever he attempts to exceed the boundaries. The mild shock may be compared with the kind of shock you have when you rub your socks against the carpet and then hold something metallic. The shock is recognized as humane and usually not harmful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Animal owners recognize that having a puppy is expensive. If you&#8217;d like to cut down on the cost then you likely would like to purchase wholesale dog products. Whether you own a family pet shop or you have a personal dog or two as a pet, you undoubtedly need to control your spending in any which way you can. Dog ownership isn&#8217;t inexpensive, and that&#8217;s just counting the items you must have. Let&#8217;s be honest, many of us are inclined to spend above and beyond in an attempt to spoil our companions.</p>
<p>Exactly where can you locate wholesale dog products turns into the question now. Start by shopping on the internet. It is possible there&#8217;s a wholesaler in your area but that&#8217;s not always the case. You especially need to check out these websites if you own or are opening a pet store.</p>
<p>Those that wonder about the status of the wholesale dog products market, we can quickly say that it truly is booming. That applies to just about any dog products. New and advanced products keep reaching the market and wholesalers are keeping pace.</p>
<p>Have you noticed all the brand new dog products? Almost everything is available from custom dog strollers to products to make clipping you pet&#8217;s nails a little easier. If you&#8217;re looking for a hot market look absolutely no farther than dog supplies. Internet based wholesalers know this. As a result they supply the items and help retailers not just sell alot more, but to get a larger profit.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re questioning why numerous wholesalers are currently running a profitable business, the answer is easy. The demand is growing and folks are buying. Obviously, you will need to note that when making your purchase, you must buy in bulk. Or else you will not get to take advantage of wholesale pricing.</p>
<p>Also, the best thing is that these wholesale dog products are going to be dropped right at your storefront or at your residence! You&#8217;re certainly not going to need to drive to the other end of town and stuff your vehicle with a whole lot of items (and ending up breaking some of them along the way) and drive back! And the price is marginal for this door to door service.</p>
<p>Wholesale PetSafe items, wholesale Innotek, wholesale pet crates, wholesale dog strollers, wholesale dog fences, wholesale bark collars, wholesale training collars, wholesale collars for dogs, or even wholesale wireless dog fences, take your pick, they have it on the web!</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be amazed at the wholesale dog products you can to come across if you just do an Internet search. Hypoallergenic items and items which are free from wheat gluten or dairy products can also be found!</p>
<p>And do not fret about the product quality. You will be obtaining the same name brand products. You will just be purchasing them for a lower price. For those who own a store, or if you have room to keep a large number of products, ordering wholesale dog products is really an outstanding way to spend less. Don&#8217;t forget you are gonna own your four-legged friend for many years so this shouldn&#8217;t be a major problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Beds/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-941" title="Waterproof dog beds" src="http://radiofence.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/waterproof-dog-beds-150x138.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="138" /></a>They say that a dog is a man&#8217;s best friend, and this is a reflection of the total dedication and loyalty that a dog will exhibit towards their family and master. Unwavering in their support, obedient in their duties, and providing unconditional love, they really are the best creation.</p>
<p>It is imperative that we do our part to look after and care for our canine friends to keep them in good health and in comfort. One way we can do this is by purchasing waterproof dog beds, which are as comfortable as they are practical.</p>
<p>Young puppies that are not yet house trained may end up wetting their bed, so using waterproof dog beds will ensure that all you need to do is wash the beds to make sure that it is fit for use. The issue of bed wetting is often attributed to young, energetic puppies, but in reality older dogs can also succumb to bed wetting.</p>
<p>This maybe a result of anxiety (sometimes dogs will actually urinate as a comfort mechanism as it allows them to explicitly mark their territory which is crucial for their mental health) or as a result of pregnancy: whenever a dog gives birth, her pelvic muscles will be weakened. As a result, simple activities such as barking, coughing or even standing up can cause the expulsion of urine.</p>
<p>Dogs are outdoor creatures by heart, and irrespective of the weather, they love to be out and about ready to play. Outdoor dog beds are great for all weather conditions. Having waterproof dog beds means that your beloved pet can come inside even when they are dripping wet and have a comfortable place for them to catch their breath. This also means that they will not be tempted to lie up on your expensive furniture! It can be a good idea to have two beds. A memory foam dog bed for most occasions, and outdoor dog beds for bad weather conditions.</p>
<p>As any dog owner will be quick to point out, bath time is not a dog&#8217;s favorite activity, and so you need to be well prepared for your dog jumping out the bathtub with the lightning reflexes of a cat before you even conclude the routine. Where is the dog likely to go? To a place they feel comfortable with, their bed. Waterproof dog beds will ensure that if your pet does decide to run whenever it is bath time, they do not make too much of a mess.</p>
<p>Another great benefit of waterproof dog beds is the material used to create them. Not only is it waterproof, but it is extremely durable as well. This means that even if your dog decides to use their bed as a makeshift punching bag or scratching post, the bed will not become destroyed. There are a wide variety of these beds available online, so take time to browse through the many selections. A memory foam <a title="dog beds, pet beds" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Beds/">dog bed</a> and many other kinds are also available.</p>

<p><strong>Pet Doors</strong></p>
<p>Letting your pet in and out of the house can be a never-ending chore. A pet door enables your animal to enter and exit the house without any help from you. A pet door is especially ideal if you cannot be home to take your animal out as often as he needs to go. Pet doors can be installed in any kind of door, from glass to wood.</p>
<p>Before you buy a door, make sure it is the right size for your animal. Most <a title="Dog Doors" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Pet-Doors/">pet doors</a> list the sizes and weights of animals that can fit through each size of door. Pay more attention to the width of the door than the height. A dog can crouch down to get through a door that is too short, but a door that is too narrow will not work. If you get a pet door when your dog is a puppy, be sure and get a door large enough for the largest size your puppy will be.</p>
<p>It is best to install the dog door in a door leading into a room where your animal can&#8217;t cause too much damage when left unattended.</p>
<p><strong>Underground Fence</strong></p>
<p>Fencing is the best way to keep your animal safe while still allowing him to exercise freely outdoors. Of all of fencing options available, <a title="Invisible dog fences" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Underground-Dog-Fences/">invisible fencing</a> is generally the least expensive. This type of fence consists of a buried wire around the yard&#8217;s perimeter and an electronic collar worn by the dog. When the dog approaches the wire, there is a warning beep or tingling that alerts the dog that he is getting too close to the fence. If he ignores the warning, he receives an electric zap.</p>
<p>Invisible fencing is the perfect option for dog owners who do not like the look of barrier fencing or live in an where barrier fencing isn&#8217;t allowed. Another benefit of an underground fence is that you can easily form a boundary around almost any part of your yard, such as your garden or swimming pool.</p>
<p>When you have finished installing the invisible fence, you should take a day or two to teach your dog that there will be a consequence when he crosses the boundary before turning him loose in the yard. The installation kit will include information on how to do this.</p>

An easy way to prevent the damage is to attach your dog’s leash to a harness instead of a collar.</p>
<p>If your dog pulls a lot on his leash, you can buy a training tool such as an <a title="Easy Walk Harness" href="http://www.radiofence.com/products/Easy-Walk-Harness.html">Easy Walk Harness</a> or a <a title="Gentle Leader Head Collar" href="http://www.radiofence.com/products/Gentle-Leader-Head-Collar.html">Gentle Leadeer Head Collar</a> and use that tool on walks while you teach your dog to walk more nicely. (Be sure to follow the instructions when using training tools like these.) Once your dog understands how to walk politely on leash, you can remove the training tool and simply walk your dog in a regular body harness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most animals, fleas are agonizing. They cause itching that is insistent and they make it impossible for affected cats or dogs to get comfortable. For both outdoor and indoor pets, fleas are a problem almost around the year and their eggs being so durable makes it very difficult to get rid of them. Products like Capstar flea control work well against flea infestations and usually bring the pet relief in roughly six hours.</p>
<p>Before treating a dog with any flea medication, always consult the pet&#8217;s veterinarian first. Capstar can be obtained without a prescription but your dog&#8217;s vet should still be notified. The treatment may interfere with your dog&#8217;s medication or diet and a vet or doctor will be able to tell you whether or not the animal can safely take it.</p>
<p>It can be fairly difficult to get a pet to eat something foreign, especially a dog. So you may have to try a few different ideas before finding one that works. Start by burying the Capstar pill in your dog&#8217;s food bowl. This is the easiest way since most animals don&#8217;t look at their bowl when they&#8217;re eating. After the animal has finished, check to determine whether or not the flea pill was consumed.</p>
<p>There are still other effective methods if the dog ate everything but the Capstar capsule. Another one would be to insert the pill into a treat before giving it to the dog. If that doesn&#8217;t work, the capsule can be wrapped around a piece of ham or cheese as well. If your animal notices the pill or spits it out after eating around it, there is one last, less desirable, option left.</p>
<p>With your bare hand or special pill dispenser, put the pill in the back of your pet&#8217;s mouth, preferably on the tongue. Hold your dog&#8217;s mouth shut until the Capstar has been eaten. You are most likely going to get accidentally bitten and slobbered on, but at least you will be certain that the dog consumes the capsule.</p>
<p>Regardless of the method you use when administering the flea treatment to the pet, afterwards just make sure that your dog swallowed its pill. These small capsules, as with most other medicines, can get stuck to the sides of the pet&#8217;s teeth or mouth and most will just spit it out eventually. Once you&#8217;re positive the helpful treatment has finally been eaten, make a note of the time.</p>
<p>For small or medium sized pets, the treatment should start working in as little as 4 hours. For bigger dogs it might take up to 6 or 7. If 24 hours go by and you are still finding fleas on your dog then simply treat him with the Capstar pill every twenty four hours until they&#8217;re eliminated.</p>
<p>Once your dog is declared flea free, keep him that way with some trusted flea prevention items. Medicated shampoos and flea collars will make sure that once the flea treatment has killed off the annoying critters, they stay gone. If you reside in area with a bad flea problem, think about getting your pet on a prescription flea treatment to keep him or her healthy and comfortable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://radiofence.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/simpson-pet-step-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-260" title="simpson-pet-step-2" src="http://radiofence.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/simpson-pet-step-2.jpg" alt="dog steps, pet stairs from radiofence.com" width="140" height="140" /></a>You have decided that you’d like to purchase a set of pet steps for your dog. Envision the following picture: You’re psyched that the pet stairs you ordered online have finally arrived. Geez, the box is a lot smaller than you expected. You have to assemble the stairs, but you figure it’s a one-time price to pay for the steps. The instructions seem to be written in every language except English, and you certainly won’t make it through with the fragments you retained from high school Spanish. You’ve assembled bits of cheap plastic together—freehand—only to discover that the steps aren’t nearly sturdy enough for your dog, or that they’re too short to be used for your intended purpose (or any purpose at all!). Frankly, I can’t imagine anyone finding this scenario appealing at all. Not only do cheap dog steps result in added hassle and disappointment, but they’re a flat-out waste of money.</p>
<p>The best way to keep this from happening to you is to learn as much as you can about the requirements that your dog’s stairs will need to meet. To do this, you will need to ask yourself a few questions. These questions are important in narrowing down the possibilities for your dog based on his (and your) needs.</p>
<p>How heavy is your dog?</p>
<p>Your dog’s weight has a lot to do with choosing <a title="dog stairs, pet steps, dog ramps from radiofence.com" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Pet-Stairs/" target="_self">dog stairs</a> because some steps have weight limitations. It’s best to simply narrow down your search starting by whether or not they can support your dog’s weight. Most stairs should have been tested to allow for the amount of pressure a dog will exert onto the stairs when going up and down, so be sure to inquire if there isn’t a weight limitation posted on the website.</p>
<p>How tall/long is your dog?</p>
<p>The size of your dog (both in height and length) is a good indication as to whether you have a large, medium, or small breed of dog. You need to make sure that the steps have enough climbing and landing room, which means you need to have a look at the width of the steps (from the base of the back of the step to the front). Putting a toy-sized dog on gargantuan steps could make it very difficult for the dog to navigate the steps—not to mention the possibility of a slip resulting in injury. Below you’ll find a basic guide to aid you in choosing safe pets for your dog.</p>
<p>Large Breed: 16” Steps or Larger<br />
Medium Breed: 14” Steps<br />
Small Breed: 12” or Smaller</p>
<p>What will your dog primarily use the steps for?</p>
<p>This, again, is very important to ensure that you get the correct steps for your needs. Do you need the steps to aid your dog in getting to your extra-high bed? Perhaps you should look into purchasing high pet steps. Will the stairs be used for the car? Lightweight, mobile <a title="dog stairs, pet steps, dog ramps from radiofence.com" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Pet-Stairs/">dog steps</a> will likely be the best option for you. The best way to figure this out is to simply dust off your tape measure and measure the distance from the floor to the top of the surface your dog needs to access. If you’re using the stairs for your bed which is 2.5 feet from the floor, try to get stairs that meet this height—or get as close as you possibly can without going higher than the bed.</p>
<p>Your ultimate goal is to provide your dog with a safe and helpful way to get to and from places. It would be well worth the hassle of spending an extra hour or two searching for just the right steps for your dog. Another option if steps are not practical, is to consider getting a <a title="dog stairs, pet steps, dog ramps from radiofence.com" href="http://www.radiofence.com/categories/Dog-Ramps/">dog ramp</a>.</p>
