PetZen DogTread – Motorized Exercise Treadmill for Dogs
We’re excited to introduce a new dog health product to our store! The PetZen Exercise Treadmill for Dogs is a great new product that allows your dog to the get the exercise he needs every day regardless of weather or how busy your schedule is!
The American Veterinary Medical Association has estimated that nearly 40% of the dogs in the United States are overweight. This common medical condition can lead to a variety of pet health related issues that contribute to a shorter life span including cardiac disease, arthritis, labored breathing, heat and exercise intolerance, respiratory conditions and compromised immune functions.
Did you know that most pets benefit from at least 45 minutes of moderate to strenuous daily activity? This is a fact! A regular walk is not always brisk enough or possible however. A dog treadmill offers a solution to this and can give a dog a great workout regardless of weather or environment, allowing dogs and their owners to maintain consistent exercise regimens.
Most dogs don’t get the regular exercise they need. Dog treadmill training is a great alternative when you can’t get outdoors. Show dog owners have used exercise treadmill training for years to increase muscle definition, tone and help focus their dog’s energy. It improves dog health, vitality and best of all – it can aid in increasing your dog’s lifespan. Regular exercise on a PetZen Dog Treadmill also will help your dog’s mental health which will help you avoid those days where you just can’t seem to keep your dog out of trouble.
Do yourself and your dog a favor by keeping him on a daily exercise routine and remove the weather and scheduling roadblocks with an exercise treadmill for your dog!
The feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive on our new painted stainless steel dog tags! Andrew, our friend from Austin developed the designs for us and we began production on them in June. We will be coming up with some new designs in the near future but for now have been busy enough filling orders with these first designs.
Unique Stainless Steel Painted Dog Tags
These new dog ID tags are hand painted on the front and sealed with an epoxy dome to make them very durable while fashionable at the same time! For now we have them available in seven designs; Flower, Stars, Bone, Paw, Heart, “Good Girl” and “Good Boy”. We will custom engrave them of course with your choice of text and font. We’re setting a new trend in dog tags with these and having fun doing it!
Dog ID Name Plate Collars - Personalized Dog Collars
We are excited to announce that our new Name Plate Dog Collars with a built in custom engraved dog ID name plate are now in production. We began taking orders on them this week and so far the number of orders coming in has been more than we anticipated! From the comments we have been hearing from our customers so far, it sounds like many people out there have been looking for a collar like this for a long time. We’re sure glad we decided to start making them!
The collars themselves are made from soft yet extremely durable, colorfast braided polypropylene material. The brass hardware is corrosion resistant and very classy looking! The Name Plate Collars are available in two widths – 9/16″ for puppies and smaller dog breeds and 1″ width for medium to large dog breeds with several sizes and colors to choose from.
We custom engrave the name plate on these collars with your personal information in the font that you choose so you can personalize the engraving exactly to your liking! Best of all, no tags to install since the name plate ID is built right into the collar.
Small Nickel Plated Dog ID Tag with Custom Engraving
It’s 2009 and there are a lot of new technologies out there now to keep track of our dogs such as wireless devices, GPS and the most common technology, the microchip.
We at DogIDs.com strongly recommend microchipping your dog. It is a great way to ensure your contact info will always be with your best friend. However, please be sure not to depend on this means of dog identification solely. Dog ID tags and collars are still the most effective and cost effective way to make sure your dog is returned home safely if lost. Please keep in mind the following factors:
1. Microchips cannot be scanned at every vet clinic or animal shelter in North America and there are also different designs so a microchip that can be read at one vet clinic may not be readable at another.
2. People are much more apt to try contacting the dog’s family if there is an obviously visible identification tag on your dog. If the finders do not see a collar and tag, they may just assume your dog is stray and not feel compelled to help return him/her home.
3. Collars with dog ID tags are still the most convenient way for finders to determine your contact information. People are busy nowadays and sadly many people will not take the time to bring a lost dog into an animal shelter or vet clinic just to see if he/she is micropchipped.
