Take Your Pet to Work Week |
 |
|
 If you didn't know it was Take Your Pet to Work week, don't worry - you still have time to take advantage of Friday, which is the official day for dog visitors in the office. While every day at PetsWeekly is "Take Your Dog to Work Day." not every company is as lucky as us. That's why it's so important to take advantage of an "official" day when it's available.
Today we want to feature a company who handles this day better than any other company out there - probably because dogs and cats are an integral part of their work environment every day. Say hello to The Honest Kitchen, who has put together a series of fun games that you can play with the other dogs at work. (Of course, please be sure to exercise the appropriate caution in doing so!)
Here are few of our favorite office dog games:

Is It Time To Treat Your Pet To A Cruise? |
|
|
 A recent survey revealed that 10.5 million pet owners spend the majority of their time on vacation worrying about the pets they have left behind at home. For these people, their first priority after booking their vacation is organizing pet care while they are away.
However the survey also found that one in ten owners will not even consider taking a vacation without having their pet with them. When taking a pet on vacation there are considerations that must be made, such as making sure their routine is kept as closely as possible to the one they have at home, checking that your destination has all the appropriate facilities for your pet, making sure your pet has an identity tag or collar with your contact details on, and potentially getting your pet vaccinated to reduce the risk of exposing your pet to foreign diseases or health risks.
Cruising With Pets
Going on a cruise is becoming an increasingly popular vacation choice within the travel industry for many people, but is it possible to take a pet on a cruise with you?

Please Nominate PetsWeekly for Petties Award |
|
|
 Each year, Dogtime Media has an annual contest in which the best bloggers/writers/videographers compete for their favorite shelters.
Up until now, PetsWeekly has never entered simply because we tend to be plagued with feelings of inadequacy. But, this year, we’re feeling like we’ve earned the right to enter with our rescue video, The Rescue Rap. We hope that six years of bringing pet news and reviews to you, helping hundreds of new products get recognized, and bringing you informative pet articles will qualify us for an award. We also think that if we could bring $10,000 to a rescue group like the Bill Foundation Dog Rescue, well – that would make us feel pretty amazing.
So, we’re asking your help. Will you nominate us for a Pettie? We are trying to get placement in two categories: Best Video Post and Best Overall Pet Blog.
Could you take a moment each day to vote? It only takes a second. Here’s what you do:
- Visit http://petties.dogtime.com/login Log in with Facebook or your email.
- Fill out each category (or as many as you want and place "BILL FOUNDATION" as the Petties Grant Recipient):

Summertime Safety with Kids and Pets |
|
|
 Summer is upon us which means the kids are all going to be hanging out at home all day. That can result in some elevated stress levels for your pets. It’s your responsibility to make this change as easy as possible on your dogs, your cats and your kids. Here are some ways that you can implement responsibility and training into one fun and easy lesson. (Don’t forget to download our free .pdf or graphic that you can keep posted on your door when visitors arrive in your home).
Having Children in Your Home When You Have Pets
It doesn't matter how well-trained your pets are, there are circumstances that can try the most patient of pets. Play dates can be super stressful on animals and that’s when most dog bites occur. Nearly 4.7 million dog bites occur each year, and over 70% of dog bite fatalities occur in children under ten years old. Not only is this dangerous for the child, it’s dangerous for the owners who face certain legal prosecution and the possibility of being sued by the parents of the injured child.

Camping with Pets: Top 10 Threats to Dogs |
|
|
 Summer is here in most areas of the country, and that means a lot of people will be headed to the mountains with their pets to explore the great outdoors. There's not a dog alive who doesn't enjoy a weekend in the woods and it can be the most gratifying thing you ever do with your pets. But we want you to be prepared before you pack up your pup and hit the trails.
First and foremost is the leash law. Pets are allowed in nearly all national forests, however there are stiff penalties in place devoted to ensuring your pets remain on leash. If you're not sure what the laws are in your area of the country, visit PetFriendlyTravel for an updated list by state and county. Observe all forest and county laws requiring leashed pets. There are national Forest Service regulations which state that pets in all forest campgrounds must be leashed, specifically on a leash that is 6 feet or shorter. Responsible pet ownership requires that all leash laws be obeyed, for the safety of the public, wildlife and other pets.
Beyond that, here is a look at our picks for the Top 10 Camping Threats to Your Pets:
