Fish

Fishes are the best bet if are not interested in spending a lot of money. Keeping fish (also feeding them) is inexpensive and they take much less space compared to other pets. Also they come in so many colors, shapes and sizes that watching them is always a pleasure. Apart from this they need little care and at the same time add to the beauty of the room.

Rabbit

Rabbits are very social and make for great pets. However, you need to take extra care while handling rabbits. You need to protect them from the predators and make sure that they are eating properly, as they have bad digestive systems. Another good thing is that they can be litter-trained.

Birds

If you want a smart pet, birds could be your bet. They have the great ability to learn. Also they are inexpensive to keep and easy to train. Also birds are considered to be very hygienic (you won’t have to shampoo your birds, just give them a bath with plain water, cut their nails and they are ready).

Ferrets

Their mischievous eyes and innocent faces make them so cute that you simply can’t resist. What adds to their cuteness factor is that they are very social and friendly. Also they are easy to feed and litter-train.

Chipmunks

They will simply dazzle you with their simple tricks. They make for wonderful companions and having them is also inexpensive. However they need human contact, and a variety of food (like seeds, fruits and vegetables).

So looks like you are quite impressed and ready to take home a pet. So what are you thinking get up and get going.

Shiny coat is the sign of healthy pet. Dogs have many types of skin problems which sometimes can be benign and even can be serious. With the beginning of winter you can see your dog scratching, biting, and licking his fur. And with the coming days his condition worsens.

This is because in winter season we experience dry skin so extras care is required during this time to keep your skin moist and healthy and same is with dogs. Any dogs can have dry skin thus they also needs proper skin care to prevent itching and flaking.

If your home is dry in the winter use room humidifier to moisten the air. You can also bring a moisturizing shampoo from pet store. It is advised not to bath your dog often during winter but keep its coat clean. When bathing your dog make sure to use a dog shampoo. The ph levels of dogs are different from human so using human shampoo could cause harmful rashes on your dog’s skin. So it is better to get a dog shampoo which could be beneficial for your dog.

When ever you find your dogs skin flaky, red and irritated or can see bumps then take him to the vet doctor as it can be a serious problem. This condition can be due to some flea allergies or can be due to some home dust allergies. You can also find dog hotspot as these are very common type of bacterial infections.

It starts just like a normal allergy but when the dog scratches it the skin breaks up the skin and introduces bacteria into the sore. Thus it is quite necessary to take care of your dog’s skin as it can cause serious problems if not taken care properly.
