O Population Growth
The population growth of this planet is out of control.
I believe in O population growth-- you have a child to
replace you and one to replace your spouse. This stabilizes the growth of people
being born and the sad process of death. After My second child was born,
I got (fixed) my tubes tied. I figured if I wanted another child,
had enough time and energy, and I could afford another child I could adopt.
This way hopefully we will have enough space and resources for future generations.
    Just as I believe in humanes being fixed (females having thier tubes tied and
males having a vasectomy), I believe its just as important to have our pets fixed,
dogs and cats. One of the most important reasons is to reduce pet over population,
so that any strays and "unwanted" pets don't end up being euthanized. Yet there
are many more reasons to fix your pet that are benificial to them and us. For females,
breast cancers are 80% less and uterine infections and cystic ovaries are reduced.
You will avoid having blood stains on your furniture and carpets from females in heat.
The desire to mark their territory or room is reduced because they won't need to
release hormones or wonder about to attract a mate. The best time to spay or
neuter is before puperty, which is around 6mo of age and definitely before your
female goes into her first heat. This also will help reduce some behavorial
problems that occur as your pet gets older. Please contact your vet or your
local Humane Society for low cost spay/neuter programs. Don't forget to
donate so they can help others with their spay/neuter and vaccination programs.

People and Allergies to Pets
The health of our family should always be number one priority, yet many of us are willing to sacrifice part of our health so our furry family can be a part of our lives. Here are some tips to make life easier for anyone thatÂ’s allergic to their pets. The first thing to do is to get rid of carpets and install tile or wood, also use verticals instead of curtains. Next we need to keep dust at a minimum, so dust at least weekly and vacuum at least every other day lightly with a thorough vacuum job done weekly. Make sure you vacuum furniture and wash bedding or cover anything your pet may come into contact with. Bath your pet weekly, especially if they go outdoors since they  will be bringing in pollens, etc. Cats , if started as kittens can get used to being bathed, or if you need a little help you can use a grooming sack. If you can afford it, hire a groomer, some even make house calls. At Steg Industries we have solutions that may also be a great help to some people in making their lives more comfortable. Allerpet C for cats and Allerpet D for dogs. These sprays help to reduce allergens and dander on your pets. The best time to use them is after a bath and/ or brushing. I know I could never live without my furry family, they make life so much more enjoyable and worthwhile. I hope these tips help to make living with your pet a little easier. Good luck.

Lets have some fun
Do you and your dog need a little fun and exitement in your life? How about training for dog
agility. teach your dog to jump through hoops, weave through poles, and run through tunnels.
You can even compete with other dogs. Size doesn't matter, so get out there and have some fun.

Pet Food Recall
The pet food scare in the United States has caused many pet owners in America to look for safe foods to feed their beloved pets.  The answers to this problem are with all natural dog and cat foods manufactured and packaged in the United States.  Artemis brand pet foods are made with free range beef, lamb, chicken, and turkey.  The F.D.A. certifies that the meat products are fit for human consumption.  These pet foods also contain no wheat or rice gluten, artificial colorings, flavorings, or preservatives and are hormone free.  They are naturally fortified with vitamins and minerals and are formulated to meet A.A.F.C.O. guidelines for dog and cat food nutritional needs.  For additional information contact Stegindustries.com online pet store. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy.

Pet adoptions vs puppy mills
I believe u should always adopt pets. The only time we ever paid was when my husband bought Thor at a yard sale for $10 and the only reason the lady was charging anyone was because she felt if u paid for the dog u would be more responsible to take care of him. Thor was the best dog & we enjoyed 13 wonderful years with him. We've had multiple dogs (Mushie, Blackie, Snowball, Duke, Dutchess, Thor, Jessie James, & Oreo), cats (Merlin, Arthur, Lancolot, Guenivere, Galahad, & Patouli) and ferrets (Casey, Ricky, Ditto, Nugget, Casper, & Snowball) rescues over the years and I don't regret anyone of them. I couldn't live without pets, they give u unconditional love & believe me I KNOW I'm loved when I walk thru my door after a long day at work and ALL my troubles just disappear. But all pets take time, energy, money, Love , and most important commitment. They depend on u for everything and if your not willing to take that responsibility for the rest of their life then u should never bring home any pet.
