The one space in your house that belongs to your dog alone is going to be the dog cage. Finding the right dog cage is something that requires a certain degree of effort and thought. The perfect dog cage should be tall enough for your dog to sit down or stand upright and long enough so they can stretch out while on their side.

However, if your dog’s cage is too large, one section of the cage might be used as a bathroom. Since dogs do not like to be around their own waste, using one end of the cage as a toilet will make them uneasy. If the cage is too small the dog can’t move around and will again feel uncomfortable.

You want a cage that will allow your pet to see what is going on around them and provide plenty of air; usually a wire cage is best. A cover might also be needed if the dog tends to bark when placed in the cage. Cage covers are available for purchase, but you can always cover the cage with a towel. For easy cleaning, you want the dog cage to be equipped with a removable tray, preferably of plastic.

If you are looking for a good place to put the dog cage, the kitchen is generally a good location. Dogs get pleasure from to be around people so putting them around many foot traffic will allow them to become comfortable in their cage knowing you are not far off. There are dogs who bark at night when you put them in their cages, especially puppies. This can mean either that they need to use the bathroom and want to go out, or that they are lonely and need attention. For this reason, it’s sometimes a good idea to have a second dog cage that is kept in your bedroom; they will know you are close by and will let you know when they need to go out.

A dog cage is not that expensive, but the size of the dog will ultimately determine this. Crates and cages run around fifty dollars at the lower end, but can range all the way up to 150 dollars or more. When you are training your puppy, the dog cage will make the process a whole lot easier.

Puppies can destroy furniture and you will save money on fixing or replacing these things. Pet catalogs, pet stores, and kennels commonly carry dog cages, or you can find them on the internet.

Feline acne is a typically mild skin condition that some cats develop. Acne in cats is not much different than acne in humans. Feline acne affects the faces of cats and is most common on the cat’s chin.

Acne in cats often looks like blackheads on the cat’s lips and chin. The blackheads may not be clearly visible in which cases the acne may make the chin look dirty. The acne may cause abscesses which open and crust over.

Though most cases of feline acne are minor, more severe cases can lead to skin irritation, hair loss, swelling, open sores, and infection. If the cat is scratching the area of the acne, the risk of hair loss, sores, and infection increases.

Common causes of acne in cats include poor grooming, stress, allergic reactions, and dirt or food caught in skin folds of the cat’s face. Cat acne can be due to overactive oil glands in the cat’s skin.

Skin conditions such as a yeast infection of the chin, bacterial infections, ringworm, and mange can resemble acne in cats. Light-haired cats often develop changes in skin pigmentation which may look like black dots on the chin. These dots can resemble cat acne.

The skin condition should be examined and properly diagnosed by a veterinarian. A skin scraping, skin biopsy, or other tests may be done to determine the appropriate diagnosis.

The veterinarian may prescribe a special shampoo, mild soap, or wet compresses with an Epsom salt solution. A topical ointment, fatty acid supplements, or antibiotics may be prescribed. Corticosteroid injections are sometimes used for the treatment of this condition.

The cat owner may be able to help prevent feline acne. The cat owner may need to pay more attention to keeping the cat’s face clean. If the cat is getting feline acne on its chin, the cat owner might help this condition by cleaning the cat’s chin after the cat eats.

Plastic food bowls can sometimes be responsible for triggering feline acne due to allergies. Switching to ceramic, glass, or stainless steel water and food bowls may prevent these breakouts.

The cat owner should not squeeze the blackheads since this can create sores that are prone to infection. The skin condition should be checked by the veterinarian again if the condition does not clear up with the recommended treatment. A different treatment may be prescribed.
