There are lots of studies looking into why we have pets and what they do for us.  There are studies showing lower blood pressure for aquarium owners.  They show dog owners have better memory.  They show aquarium families have smarter kids.  This recent one from Miami is interesting because it shows a health benefit regardless of the type of pet owned.

Thunderstorms

Your Neighborhood Pet Stores

Open 7 Days A Week

I love Arizona in the summertime.  Monsoons are such a wonder of nature and a climatic event I wish everyone could experience once... except our dogs. 

My dogs hate the thunder.  They also hate fireworks and other loud noises.  They whine, claw, pace and generally show their anxiety.  

There are two products we sell that can help this behavior.  They are both all natural remedies made by HomeoPet.  They are called Storm Stress and TFLN.  They come in a liquid form and work very well.

Reptile Lighting

Lighting your reptiles is the most important thing you can do.  For most reptiles, you need to have a daytime heat, nighttime heat, and UVB.  

First - why 3 lights?  Well, the heat bulbs will keeps up the ambient temperature.  And the UVB bulbs allow for absorption of vitamin D3.  

Reptiles are cold blooded.  They need their terrariums heat regulated.  Most of them like temperatures higher than our normal room temperature.  You’ll need a heat lamp to get this done.  It’s best to use 2 (a daytime and nighttime) so your reptile experiences a temperature differential.  This often solves problems of reptiles not eating.  

All animals need vitamin D3.  D3 is really important in regulating calcium.  A D3 deficiency manifests in weak bones and shells, and also loss of the use of their legs and major muscle groups.  Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin after exposure to UVB rays.  We get this from natural, unfiltered sunlight.  Because reptiles are behind glass and indoors all day, they need a supplemental source of UVB.  Lucky for them, we can use a special fluorescent light bulb.  

So I recommend 3 different types of lights.  I love using the Combo Dome for your day and night heat bulbs and a Zilla strip light for your UVB.  We can help you with those, stop on by and ask to see them.
