Ways to Spoil Your Pet

Just like with children, it’s always other folks who have spoiled pets. Your pets are simply well cared for, right? The following are some unusual ways in which people spoil (or care for) their dogs and cats:

Massage Isn’t Just for People

Watch LMT Pam Holt, of Buddha Dog Animal Massage, in action. Believe it or not, pets can get stressed just like humans. As we all know, there’s nothing like a good massage for releasing tension and stress. So it makes perfect sense that spoiled pets would be likely candidates for massage. If you’re ready to try it, the process is pretty simple. Just use your fingertips to make smooth circles behind your pet’s ears. After a few minutes, try a similar motion at the top of the neck. From there, slide your fingers over your pet’s head right between his ears from front to back. Your pet will thank you!

Smells Like a Spoiled Pet

Aromatherapy makes you think of things like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In this case, it’s another example of very pampered pets. Some pet owners swear by the positive results of using special scents to calm pets. There certainly seems to be something to this idea as SENTRY Calming Collars produces a number of pet collars utilizing what they call “patented GOOD Behavior pheromone technology.” They claim that the pheromone effectively reproduces that produced by mother cats and dogs to calm kittens and puppies. Clinical tests have shown the collars to be effective in reducing if not eliminating unwanted behaviors such as marking, clawing and other anti-social responses. These collars have also been successful in reducing negative responses to fireworks, thunderstorms, and other problem situations and they have pretty good consumer reviews. So whatever your position, spoiled or just lucky pets, these products and techniques might be worth a look.
