Harnesses are the best choice for small dogs or puppies and for big dogs who like to tug on their leash.  Harnesses are safe for these dogs and puppies because when they pull away from their owner, there is no pressure on their necks or throats which could cause injury to the pet.  Harnesses also give better control if the pet should try to pull away and go where they aren’t supposed to. Using a harness, the owner can quickly and safely pull the pet back to them.  Harnesses also offer the security that the pet cannot pull out of the harness and run away, unlike regular collars where they can manuever their way out and run free.  Doggles has a very comfortable and adustable harness that is super durable with heavy duty stitiching and ranging in sizes from XX-Small  to X-Large and your favorite colors and you can find them at First Rate Pet Supplies at the best prices anywhere!

Ferretts are domesticated animals, cousins of the weasels, skunks and otters. (Other relatives are minks, ermines, badgers, black-footed ferrets, polecats and fishers). They are NOT rodents. It is believed that ferrets were first domesticated by the Egyptians some several thousand years ago. Their behavior and personality is somewhere between cats and dogs (although they are much smaller in size). Some are cuddly and others are more independent. They vary a lot, just like other pets. Average size for a male is around 45cm in length and weigh between 1.2-2.3kg compared to 35cm in length and 500gms-1.2kg for females. FERRETS WILL NOT SURVIVE IN THE WILD. They are likely to die from dehydration or starvation within a few days.  Ferrets are extremely playful with both humans and other ferrets; inquisitive; remarkably determined; able to be trained to use kitty litter; very social; sleep for great lengths of time. Most love to go places with you on a harness and can be kept in a decent sized cage.  There are so many different things you can buy for your ferret to make life with a ferret so much more enjoyable and rewarding.  Harnesses are best for ferrets and you can even get  high fashion for them just by shopping at First Rate Pets.

My friend Stacey adopted a rescue dog, the cutest little English bulldog you’ve ever seen, a few months ago. The poor thing had been found on the side of I-315 in a half rotted cardboard box. It just breaks my heart to think about. Anyway, her new four-legged friend, whom she named Sandy, is quite adorable, yet stubborn. Because Sandy was about 2 years old when she found him, he had unfortunately grown up with a few bad habits of his own.

Sandy was a shoe chewer and he loved to go dashing off into the woods whenever she’d take him to the dog park. A little frustrated and concerned for Sandy’s safety, Stacey was desperate for a way to tech her pooch how to respect her commands. She turned to her friend Molly, who owned three dogs of her own, and she lent Stacey one of her retractable dog leashes. She told Stacey it was the best way to teach her dog to respect your authority.
