Companies are downsizing their employees, but Americans are downsizing their dogs.
America’s number one dog is still the Labrador retrievers, but smaller dogs are becoming increasingly popular. Beagles and Boxers, Yorkshire Terriers, Dachshunds and Bulldogs, Bulldogs as well as Poodles, Poodles, Shih Tzus, Bulldogs, Bulldogs, Bulldogs and Bulldogs make up the American Kennel Association’s list of top 10 dog breeds.
Small dogs require less food, more space, and less exercise than larger canine companions. They are a great choice for busy homeowners looking for a cuddle buddy.
Small dogs face their own challenges. For example, the great outdoors presents greater danger to Chihuahuas that to Great Danes. One 6-pound Chihuahua puppy, who was about 70 miles per hour windblown away, made headlines in April 2009.
Most small-pet problems are easy to solve. Even smaller pets can pass through fences that might block larger animals. A pool can be dangerous for pets.
American pet care companies are developing products for small pets to help them stay safe. Invisible Fence Brand just launched the MicroLite Computer Collar. It weighs only 1 ounce. This collar is lightweight and suitable for both small and large cats and dogs.
This collar can be used in conjunction with a training and fencing system. The collars from Invisible Fence Brand warn pets when they are about to cross a boundary established by their owners. Invisible Fence systems, unlike traditional fences can pass through rugged terrain, wooded areas, or under water. Pet owners can use Invisible Fence to divide their driveways, garden areas, and rooms, as well their yard perimeter.
