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!

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.

    New Unique Handmade Dog Tags!

    Artisan Dog ID Tags Handcrafted

    Artisan Dog ID Tags Handcrafted

    Over the last few weeks we have been busy adding new custom handmade dog ID tags to the DogIDs.com store.  We are working directly with several artists who make these tags for us and are excited to represent their products in our store pages!  Many of our customers like the fact that they can order custom ID tags for their dogs that are one of a kind pieces of art and so far the response has been great.  Make sure to check them out in our designer dog tags section of the DogIDs.com Store.

    All of these new tags are handmade solely by one of the artists we work with using various metals such as pure silver, sterling silver, copper, stainless steel and brass/bronze. Some of these tags even have matching jewelry for dog lovers so if you like, you can order a unique dog tag for your dog and a matching necklace, bracelet, ring, locket, etc. for yourself.  You and your dog can wear coordinating custom handmade jewelry that is as unique as the relationship between you and your dog!

    Welcome to the new DogIDs.com blog!

    Since Thanksgiving and winter are both right around the corner, we thought it would be appropriate to make our inaugural post based on these two times of year. 

    As you may or may not know, more dogs are lost during the winter months than any other time of the year and since the winter months are more harsh for any animal, there is even more reason to make sure your dog always wears a dog collar with a dog ID tag attached displaying your MOST CURRENT contact information just in case your best friend goes astray and can’t find his way back home.

    Blowing snow and ice in the winter months can hinder a dog’s ability to pick up scent.  Of course this will make it that much harder for a dog to find his way back home if he has managed to stray a little too far. And if you are making your travel plans for Thanksgiving, make absolutely sure your dog has his collar and dog ID tags on at least before leaving on your trip!

    One other thing to keep in mind is how busy Thanksgiving can be and how many times the house doors open and shut, giving your dog more opportunities to wander outside and get away from all of the hustle and bustle.  Make sure he always has proper dog identification on during this time of year!

    Happy Holidays! Keep warm and safe!
