Mrs. Meyer's has a multi-surface cleaner that is plant-based for those who are concerned about cleaning products' ingredients.

FAQ
How can I tell if my dog has fleas
There are fleas that can cause your pet to scratch at its hair, lick itself too often, or look dull and untidy.
Flea infestations could also be suspected if you notice redness on your pet’s skin.
It is important to take your pet immediately to a veterinarian for treatment.
Which is the best pet you have?
The best pet you can have is the one you love. There is no right or wrong answer. Every person has his own opinion about which pet is the best.
Some believe that cats are better than their canine counterparts. Others say that dogs are more loyal and loving. Still, others argue that birds are the best pet.
Regardless of the type of pet that you decide to get, it is important that you determine what type of pet best suits you.
If you're friendly and outgoing then a dog is right for you. A cat or dog would be the best for you, if you are shy and reserved.
Also, consider the size of your apartment or house. A smaller apartment means you'll need a less large pet. However, a larger house will mean that your pet will need more space.
Last but not least, pets require a lot of attention. They must be fed often. You should take them for walks. You should also brush and clean them.
If you know all these things, you'll be able to pick the best pet for yourself.
How much should I spend to get a pet?
It is a good rule to budget between $200 and $300 per month.
This will vary depending on where you live. For example, in New York City, you'd probably spend about $350 per month.
In rural areas you may only have to spend around $100 per monthly.
It is important to remember to purchase quality items, such as collars, leashes, toys, etc.
You should also think about investing in a crate for your pet. It will protect your pet during transport.
What should you do if your dog bites someone else?
If an animal attacks you, it is important to first make sure it isn't rabid. If this is impossible, you can call for help. Do not attempt to solve the problem yourself. You may get seriously injured.
If the animal bites, but is not aggressive then you can take it to a vet clinic. Your vet will examine it and advise whether further treatment is needed.
In most cases, rabies shots will be required. However, you should never administer these yourself. Only a qualified person should administer these.

How To
How to choose a name for your pet.
When adopting a pet, the name you choose for them is one of your most important decisions. Names should reflect who your pet is and their personality.
It is important to consider how other people might refer to you - for instance, if they are going to be called by their name in conversation. Finally, think about how you'd like to be referred. Do you prefer "pet" or "dog"?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get going.
-
Choose a name that is appropriate for your dog's breed. Look up the names associated to the breed, if you have a good idea of what it is (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits the breed.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds are named for people or places, others are nicknames. Because he was always running, the name Rover was given to a Labrador Retriever.
-
Now think about what you'd like to call yourself. Would you rather call your dog "dog", or "pet"? Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Don't forget to include the owner's first name. While it is sensible to name your dog after your last name, you don't have to limit your options to include names of family members. Your dog could grow up to become a member of your family.
-
Many pets may have more than one name. A cat may have many names, depending on where she is located. She could be known as "Kitty Cat" at home but "Molly" while visiting her friends. This is especially true for cats who live outside. They often adopt their names to fit their environment.
-
Be creative There are no rules that say you have to follow a certain naming convention. It is important to pick something distinctive and memorable.
-
You must ensure that the name you choose isn't already owned by another person or group. This way you won't accidentally take someone else's identity.
-
Don't forget that choosing a name is not an exact science. Sometimes it takes some time to decide if a name is right. Keep at it until you find the right match.
