Furry Travelers is based in Southeast Florida, so while we complain that we are cold, we know we have it so easy compared to the rest of the nation.
Many pet owners think that since their dog has fur, they are warm in any climate. In extreme cases, however, even the thickest fur coat may not be enough to keep your dog warm. And for dogs with shorter fur, it is even more important to give them a little extra protection.
To help keep dogs warm this season, we have put many of our winter items including dog coats and dog boots on sale as much as 50% off. Most items are very easy to put on your dog with Velcro closures.
And for the more glamourous pup, we have Susan Lanci faux fur dog coats!

Product Review - Bark Stix Organic Dog Treats
FurryTravelers.com was started to help pet owners travel with their pets safely and easily by offering the best pet travel products. Once in a while, however, we come across non-travel related pet products we think are so great that we add them to our product line-up.
I don't recall how we originally found Bark Stix (maybe they found us), but after speaking with the owner a few years ago and hearing about the company, I knew I needed to test them on my own dogs, Cookie and Katie. They loved every type of treat I gave them! What I love about them is that they are 100% organic, nutritious, and made in the United States.
Here are three of our favorites:
Sweetie Pies
Sweet Potatoes are considered by nutrition experts to be one of the 10 healthiest foods one can eat. That goes for dogs, too. Sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. And dogs LOVE them!
Ingredients: Sweet potatoes, chicken liver, potato flour, honey and sea salt.
Sadie's Big Stix and Lucy's Short Stix
These fun, nutritious stix are shaped like a bread stick and measure 9-10 inches for Sadie's and about 5 inches for Lucy's - a best seller.
Fart Busters
This all meat chicken treat is made from whole Free Range chicken with a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes that can aid digestion and help with those 'aromatic' moments that come between dog and guardian. Like all of our treats they are manufactured in our facility in Northern California. The chickens are locally sourced from small farmers and raised without the use of antibiotics or animal by-products and are fed a vegetarian diet.
There are several varieties of Bark Stix dog treats. To see all Bark Stix Treats, click here.

As the end of the summer nears and early fall approaches, regulation of pets on the beach are eased and beautiful early fall weather beseech you to take your furry friend outdoors to the nearest body of water to play. Here are a few tips for keeping your dog safe around water.
1) While some dogs live to swim, others may be unable to or simply hate being in the water. Be conscious and considerate of your dog's preferences and skills. Don't try to force him or her to swim if your dog seems afraid or averse; many dogs will never feel comfortable in the water.
2) If you're taking your dog swimming for the first time, help coax him into the water by starting off in a shallow area. Try calling his name and creating a fun environment by using dog toys and/or treats to play with.
3) Swimming is very hard work, making it easy for your dog to overexert himself- especially dogs that are drawn to the water. Keep track of the time and evaluate your dog's level of effort to keep your dog from overdoing it.
4) Never throw your dog into the water. Doing so may cause your dog to feel anxious or fearful of going into the water in the future. Also, since some dogs have large bodies and short legs, they are not built to swim for enjoyment and therefore may be traumatized by the act.
5) If taking your dog swimming at the ocean, be careful of strong tides. Never let your dog swim far enough out to be swept away by the current. Use a doggy life jacket as a safety precaution.
6) Moisture in a dog's ear can cause nasty infections if not cleaned properly after swimming. Ask your vet or local pet store for the proper supplies and a demonstration to make sure you are thoroughly ridding his or her ears of the nasty bacteria found in ocean and lake water.
7) Never leave your dog unattended in water. If you have a pool, make sure to invest in adequate safety products, such as a baby fence or pool alarm to alert you if your dog falls in. Train your dog to know how to exit the pool by teaching him/her to locate the steps or ramp, and providing a refresher course on exiting at the beginning of each swimming session.
8) Be careful of taking your dog swimming at night. Dogs' vision dramatically decreases after nightfall as well as with age, so swimming in the dark may be extremely scary for dogs, even those who normally love to be in the water.
9) Just like humans, dogs are equally susceptible to getting hypothermia in cold water. Unfortunately, they may not understand that the water is what's causing them to feel cold, making it easier for an accident to occur. If the water is cold enough to prompt you to get out, it is safe to say your dog is at risk to getting cold as well and should be brought out of the water to regain warmth.
1 Never let your dog drink the pool water, which is filled with chlorine and chemicals that can make your dog sick. Salt water from the ocean and bacteria found in lakes can also be harmful. To prevent ingestion of contaminated water, keep a clean water bowl nearby for your dog to drink from.

The first time I ever saw a decorative crate cover was a few years ago at a trade show. A young woman explained that she had a small apartment and crated her dog while she was at work. Having little space to work with, she thought it would be convenient to be able to use the crate as a coffee table, so she designed a cover for it to coordinate with the rest of her decor. What a great idea!
Many companies are now designing crate covers and Furry Travelers recently added a few to our product line - with matching crate pads. So cute!
The best part of a crate cover is the benefit to your dog. Dogs are den dewlling animals by instinct. A crate that is covered provides the dog with a den-like atmosphere. This is very useful when you are away from home, whether or not you bring your pooch with you.
If you keep the crate in an area that can become drafty or cold, the cover will help keep your pet warm. In the summer months, the cover can provide shade.
Crating Tips:
Think of the crate as a good thing. In time, your dog will too.
Let your dog out often enough so that it is not forced to soil the crate.
Let the dog out if it whines because it needs to eliminate. If you know it doesn't have to eliminate, correct it for whining or barking.
Clean the crate regularly, especially if you've put in a pad or pillow, or if you have flea problems.
Forgive your dog if it soils the crate. It probably just couldn't wait any longer.
Don't use the crate as a punishment.
Don't leave the dog in the crate for a long time after letting it eat and drink a lot. (Your dog will be uncomfortable and may have to eliminate in the crate.)
Keep your dog's crate time at a minimum. Dogs sleep and rest a lot, but not all the time. They need play time and exercise.
When you are at home, they should not be in the crate (except at night when they are still very young puppies). If necessary, put a leash on your pup and tie it around your waist while you're at home.
Continue to use the crate, even after your puppy is housebroken. Occasionally using the crate will make traveling and special situations that require crating easier.
Most dogs like cooler temperatures than their human companions and prefer to stretch out on a hard, cool surface. If your dog prefers tile to carpet, you may want to skip the pad - or leave a portion of the crate floor bare. If you use a pad or pillow, clean frequently.
Our 5 month old puppy, Katie, is the first puppy we did not crate-train. Now that I work at home, we thought it was easier not to. This was a mistake. Our little Katie had emergency surgery on Friday and we are taking her home tonight. The vet told us we must keep her in a crate so she doesn't hurt herself (and to prevent her from roughhousing with our other dog). So, we now have to hope that her few days in a cage at the hospital will be enough to make her happy to be in a crate at home. We will be using the ProSelect 2-Piece Crate Cover and Bed Set!
