Travel, Pets and PetHub

Hey neighbors!

Here is one of our Travel Event featured products. PetHub has beed kind enough to allow us to review one of their tags, along with the subscription to their pet finding service. To begin with you can sign up for an account and register your pet for free. If you don't already have a digital pet ID tag, you can purchase one online at PetHub. The tags run from $9.95 - $24.95. The final step is to link your ID. This is so simple!

I went in and signed up for my account and set up my profile, quick and easy. Registering Belle was also easy. You are able to include a picture, breed, weight along with any medical information. You can add all of your pets if you would like.

I have a "I'm a High Tech Pup!" tag. The pet ID tags are available in several designs, you are sure to find one you like. 3 methods of contact are included on your tag. 1 Is a phone number people can call should they find your missing pet. 2. There is also a QR code on the back that can be scanned. 3. A website with a code that will allow people to find you. I marked out the code on mine in the picture, but that blurry spot is where the Code would be so your pet could be identified.

Pets are lost all the time. Not only are they hard to find when they wander from home, but traveling and loosing a pet can be even more difficult. Your pet is in an unknown area and may have trouble finding you. Make it easier for the person who finds him/her by placing a PetHub ID tag on your pet and registering them on the site. By making sure your pet is wearing a PetHub tag you have improved your chances of finding your pet. Unlike a microchip where someone must have a reader to scan it, this tag offers 3 methods for someone to contact you.

The basic registration is free, but there is also an upgrade available. The Basic account includes:
Pet Owner/User Account
Unlimited Pet Profiles
Data Storage
Printable Profile
24/7 "Found Pet" Hotline
Unlimited ID Tag Links

The Premium account also includes:
Instant "Found Pet" Alerts
Scanned Location Information
Glympse Powered GPS Tracking
Shelter Alerts
Partner Discounts

As stated above the Basic is FREE. The Premium has a few options to choose from. There is a $10 activation fee if you choose the monthly option. There is then a $3 a month charge. If you opt to pay the annual fee, it is $28. And you also have the option of paying $48 for two years.

Some information regarding PetHub:

Tom Arnold (PetHub Founder and CEO) left Microsoft to address the challenge of lost pets never making it home. He was spurred by these daunting statistics:

One in every three pets will go missing at some point in their life
Less than 20% of dogs and 2% of cats that go missing will ever return home
Only ½ of the 6 to 8 million companion animals in shelters leave to rejoin their original families or are placed with a new "forever" family (the other 50% are euthanized because of lack of space - something no one wants, especially not the people tasked with that horrible responsibility)

You can read more HERE.

If you are interested in joining PetHub, I was also given a coupon code good for 20% off product purchased or initial premium service upgrade. It is good until 6/19/2015. The code is TY5614.

You can find PetHub on their social media!

PetHub is also participating in a giveaway of one tag to one of our readers here. Take a moment to enter the giveaway! Thanks for stopping in and come back soon.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
