OK, I know that pets really aren’t people, but our family loves our pets just as much as if they were actual people. We are very careful to pick out the best dog care products on the market because we want our dogs to live a good, long time. There is a lot of emotional investment in those guys, and we don’t enjoy the process of saying good-bye to them at the end of their lives.
Our kids have tried their hands at a variety of small pets, such as hamsters and gerbils. I don’t know why, but they didn’t have very good luck with them. They seemed to get sick and die very quickly. I don’t know if we used the wrong cleaning products on their cages, or what, but they seemed to die right off. After about six tries with them, we gave up. It got too traumatic for the kids to keep losing their little pets.
One of my favorite products for cat care is the self-cleaning automatic litter box. It was an expensive product to buy, but well worth the investment. We found that by lining the disposable trays with plastic shopping bags, the trays lasted for several months at a time. This was my wife’s idea, and I think it was a really smart one!
