Perhaps the best reason why these little birds are popular pets is how easily you can tame them and make them trust you enough to feed them from your hand. Once they’ve gotten used to it, simply reaching your hand out is going to make them fly towards it and land on your palm. Being really small and light, you can have up to a dozen sitting on your hand without feeling any considerable weight.

Who doesn’t love going on long trips? And what’s better than going on a long trip than being with family or friends? What about pets? Pets love going on trips too you know, especially if it’s a trip with their favourite hoomans.

 

  But pets, unlike humans, need to be handled differently when going on trips. Their anatomical structure isn’t the same as ours, so their safety on long trips are compromised when not properly buckled in. 

 

  The best thing to do is to secure them inside a proper transport crate. Transport crates are usually made of high-grade plastic that can withstand impacts. These are also designed to keep your pet safe within its confines without making it feel claustrophobic.

 

 

 

 

 

Fish are great pets to keep if you want some peace and tranquillity in your home. Watching them flit about or just lazily drift around has been proven to lower the anxiety, blood pressure and stress of fish pet owners all over the world.

 

  The list of benefits these underwater pets give us might prove to be longer than the average person’s arm. But, what benefit do these fishes get from being our pets?

It’s pretty clear that we love our cats. After all, cats are the most popular companion animals in NZ! And if you visit any pet store, you’ll find more products for cats than any other pet in the NZ area. There are cat bowls, food, scratching posts, climbing posts, bells, swatters, you name it if a cat owner thinks their cat’s gonna love it, it’s most probably going to be there. 

And maybe we are guilty of loving our cats too much.

It can’t be helped, anything a cat does is cute. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Youtube videos devoted to the cats. And these channels are watched by millions of cat lovers world wide! 

One of the more popular bird species serving as pets today is the Cockatoo. And who can blame these pet owners for owning such a magnificent looking bird?

A properly taken care of cockatoo is a very affectionate pet that loves being the centre of everyone’s attention. Everyone who has had the luck to be with or around a cockatoo know just how fun it can be with this bird. So, let’s make sure your fine feathered pet becomes one of those perfect pet companion cockatoos everyone loves.

Watching fish swimming for an hour a day saves lives.

Keeping an aquarium full of fish and spending an hour or two just watching them swim can lower the risk of heart attacks. Most fish owners swear that they feel calmer, more tranquil after sitting in front of their aquarium to watch their pets go about their lives underwater.
