Collars…
Posted: March 12, 2010 Filed under: Apso Aficionados | Tags: Equipment, Susan Matthewman 2 Comments »Susan asks for feedback... Questions maybe for the blog? Has to do with collars. A trainer came for a 90 minute session today and had several suggestions for me. She wanted me to keep the dog door closed when I am home rather than giving the dogs quite so much full control over their environment. Also she wanted me to keep collars on them all the time, and suggested rolled leather collars as being the least problematic with their long coats. I'd be interested in any feedback. Susan I'm curious myself. My house dogs wear collars, complete with i.d. tags. The kennel dogs don't wear collars. I was taught that was bad animal husbandry, as the collars might catch on fencing. All my dogs are micro- chipped. Thoughts from the rest of you??

Katy on…dog tags
Posted: March 10, 2009 Filed under: Apso Aficionados | Tags: Equipment, Katy Widger Leave a comment »Also, we have probably purchased at least six of those aluminum ID dog tags from Pet’s Mart or the Doggy Health Food Store at about $6 each in the last 2-3 years. They just don’t last and the info becomes blurred, and is hard to read, anyway. Plus you just can’t put much on them. We found a better product! www.BoomerangTags.com has a large variety of deeply etched stainless steel and plastic tags that are guaranteed for ten years. We bought stainless steel, 1″ round tags for the Apsos, and they are indeed easy to read, and etched on both sides. On one side I have their name, our name, address, phone # , town and state. On the other side it says “IF I’M OUT, I’M LOST” , our Cell phone # and REWARD. I paid $29. for the three tags, postage paid.

Hello Debby,
I recently started a small business making Nipper’s Nappers (Sleep Sacks for Pets). The business started because of a Secret Santa project for Rat Terrier ResQ. I am trying to get the word out to small dog owners and I am hoping you can forward this to your breed club members. So far I have gotten very positive feedback from people that have purchased a Napper.
Nipper’s Nappers can be viewed at www.nippersnappers.etsy.com
Fleece Napper for pets up to about 18 pounds. Aprox. 24″ cuffed by 22″ wide.. Machine wash and dry – low temp. Every Napper is reversible.
A portion of each sale goes to Rat Terrier ResQ
Thank you in advance,
Vickey Meyer
