The Dog Bowl Pet Supply and BARF Raw Food Blog

Flying for you pet may be one of the most stressful ordeals in their lifetime. Why not make their experience the most comfortable and secure?

The Dog Bowl carries a large assortment of airline approved carriers for your pet’s safety while traveling by air. These carriers provide the utmost comfort for you pet. Many are lined with soft and cozy faux fur material, and some even have their own small blanket to keep Fido comfy! These carriers come in a multitude of sizes and colors for your own personal style needs.

Make sure when purchasing a carrier for air travel that you verify the carrier as airline approved, otherwise you may have an unpleasant surprise on the aircraft when you aren’t allowed to fly with your particular carrier!

Another tip to ensure your pet’s comfort while traveling in a carrier is to familiarize them with the carrier before actually putting them in it for the trip. Purchase your carrier a week or two before the trip and let your pet check it out, sniff, and maybe even curl up and fall asleep in it! The more they like their carrier, and the more familiar they are with the space, the easier the travel will be!

Summer is here, and so are the critters! Mosquitoes, ticks and other pesky insects are in their prime time, and they may be lurking in your pet’s bed or they even may be nestled in Fido’s fur!

In addition to purchasing a washable bed to cut down on dander, mites and fleas, there are many steps you can take to avoid the summer “itch”, and The Dog Bowl has the tools to help!

Itchy coat may be caused by a number of things, poor diet, bug bites (fleas, ticks, you name it), or dry skin. Switching your pet to the raw food diet will actually improve the quality of their coat, and your pet will also not smell as strongly as it used to. The decrease in odor helps cut down on the number of potential bugs that are attracted, and a healthy coat eliminates the possibility of dry, itchy skin.

The Dog Bowl also carries several special non-itch formulas that add extra protection and moisture to your pet’s coat.

Pets can be very nervous when it comes to traveling, any drastic change in environment can leave them extremely fearful and stressed. Plane travel is horrifying for some pets, especially if they are not riding as a carry on with you. Here are some tips to make travel less stressful on you and your pet!

If you will be using a pet carrier, make sure you make your pet feel safe and comfortable in the carrier before you put them in for travel.
