What there is to know

  • The Everything Must Go (for Free Yard Sale) at Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Mission Hills is open to new adopters
  • Nov. 25 to 27, 2022, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Adoptions will take place throughout the weekend; new pet parents can pick up crates, dog beds, supplies and more.

While Black Friday might be the busiest shopping occasion on the calendar, you’d be hard-pressed, or at least moderately pressured, to find a garage sale on that day. After all, the November occasion tends to be more about the shops than the outdoors.

And stumble upon a yard sale that has a strong panache for pets and a good-hearted spirit?

It’s much rarer.

And rarer still? When the Black Friday garage sale extends over the holiday weekend.

All of this should have the holidays screaming at the Best Friends Animal Society in Mission Hills from Friday, Nov. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 27, thanks to the Black Friday Everything Gotta Go Garage Sale (for free).

How it works?

The free-free-free garage sale will give first-time adopters the chance to pick up a necessities or two before heading home with their newly adopted pet companion.

Dog crates, squishy beds and a variety of pet supplies will be part of the all-is-free collection.

The generous event is a show of gratitude to the community and a loving farewell, as Best Friends makes its West LA hub its main hub.

Eager to browse some of the perfect pets looking for a home? You can visit the Best Friends Animal Society site to see who you might meet when visiting Mission Hills Rescue Center over the weekend.

“Who needs the latest tech gadget when a pet can provide unconditional love and companionship? Adopting a dog or cat really is the ultimate gift for you and your family,” said Julie Castle , CEO of Best Friends Animal Society.

“Since many people have vacations during the holidays, this can also be a perfect opportunity to acclimate your new pet to your home and daily routine.”

Adoption fees during the holidays will be waived thanks to Embrace Pet Insurance.

“Many shelters are currently experiencing a crisis of overcapacity, which is putting more dogs and cats at risk of death simply because they don’t have a safe place to call home,” Castle said.

“Adoption is the most humane option when it comes to adding a pet to your life because not only are you saving that animal’s life, but you are making room for another. animal can enter the shelter.”

Pet insurance is rapidly gaining popularity. What was once an obscure insurance product has more than doubled in growth over the past four years, according to the North American Pet Health Insurance Association’s (NAPHIA) 2022 State of the Industry Report. There were nearly 4 million insured pets in the United States in 2021, a 28% increase from the previous year.

Here are some key trends to look for in 2023, whether you’re familiar with pet insurance or just curious about this growing product.

Regulators call for consistency between pet insurance plans

Pet insurance is regulated state by state, which means insurance laws can vary from state to state.

In an effort to bring more consistency to the pet insurance market, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners unanimously approved the Pet Insurance Act in August 2022. Regulators in Insurance companies in each state can now adopt the law as law in their state or change it and make it their law.

If states enact it, pet insurance law requires certain disclosures to purchasers of pet insurance, such as:

  • A period of “free research” and a right of refund within 15 days of purchase if you have not made any complaint.
  • Pet insurance companies may exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions, but the onus is on the insurer to prove that the pre-existing condition applies to the condition for which the claim is made.
  • Prohibits a waiting period for accident coverage.
  • Allows a waiting period of up to 30 days for orthopedic illnesses or conditions not resulting from an accident.
  • Requires a provision to waive the waiting period if the animal is examined by a veterinarian.
  • Prohibits the requirement to have your pet examined by a veterinarian before policy renewal.
  • Prohibits any requirement that the animal participate in a welfare program before the owner can purchase a policy.

State regulators can modify the model law

The idea behind the Pet Insurance Act is that it presents the ideal law from a regulator’s perspective and that each state can choose to adopt it or add its own flavor to it, says Kristen Lynch, executive director of NAPHIA.

“We’re hoping states will adopt it, because it took three years to create and it’s easy for the consumer to understand, but that’s not always the case,” says Lynch.

For example, the Pet Insurance Act requires a “free visit” period of 15 days. But some states might reject this deadline and impose a shorter period, or even no period of free examination. Other states may have a longer free search period, such as California, where a 30-day free search period is required for pet insurance buyers.

Or state regulators may choose their own definitions of a pre-existing condition, which can have a major impact on your pet’s insurance costs. Under standard law, a pet insurance company must state what constitutes a pre-existing condition and when your pet developed the condition. But how a state interprets the model law can have a huge impact on pet insurance buyers, Lynch says. What is considered a pre-existing condition in one state may not be considered a pre-existing condition in another state.

The bond between people and pets will have a big impact on the pet insurance industry

There are pets in 70% of U.S. households, according to the American Pet Products Association’s National Pet Ownership Survey 2021-2022. That’s over 90 million households. And since pets have become part of our daily lives, it’s not uncommon for pet owners to take their pets to work, restaurants, and even movies.

Lynch predicts that strengthening the bond between people and their pets will drive growth in the pet insurance industry as more people put the health of their pets first.

“We’re here for the fun stuff, but we have to be prepared for the tough stuff,” says Lynch.

For example, if your pet gets sick on a Saturday night, chances are you won’t be able to talk to your vet. Many pet insurance plans include access to a 24/7 pet telehealth line. Or if your pet gets injured or ingests a foreign object on a Sunday after- noon, a pet insurance plan can help offset the costs of an emergency vet visit.

To put that into perspective, the average cost to treat a broken bone is $2,700 for dogs and $2,300 for cats, while the average cost to treat ingested foreign bodies is $3,500 for dogs. and $3,400 for cats, according to a Forbes Advisor analysis of the vet visit. costs.

Having pet insurance can help take the financial and emotional stress out of treating your pet, Lynch says. This may be the key factor if you can afford to treat your pet instead of taking a big hit on your credit card or, worse, foregoing treatment altogether.

Unconditional love of fur: cuddly animals, passionate owners and a lucrative industry https://hsmcohio.com/unconditional-love-of-fur-cuddly-animals-passionate-owners-and-a-lucrative-industry/ Sat, 05 Nov 2022 02:00:00 +0000 https://hsmcohio.com/unconditional-love-of-fur-cuddly-animals-passionate-owners-and-a-lucrative-industry/ Jerry, in his 20s, was inconsolable after the death of his pet dog Berry, especially after their close company during a COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai earlier this year.

Jerry, in his 20s, was inconsolable after the death of his pet dog Berry, especially after their close company during a COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai earlier this year.

Pet funeral parlor owner James Cheng recalled how Jerry dutifully cooked Berry’s favorite food — chicken breasts — and brought them to the parlor every day. His parents finally persuaded him to quit after three days for fear that his grief would continue, the undertaker said.

Offering food to the deceased is an ancient funeral tradition practiced by many people to bid farewell to family members. It has now been extended to pets amid growing numbers of people devoted to their cats and dogs. And just like with humans, Buddhist monks can also be hired to pray for the afterlife for pets.

Catering to pets and their forgiving owners is big business in China. From food to veterinary services, from pet cafes to animal husbandry, there is money to be made on the uptrend.

A white paper on the pet industry released last month by e-commerce giant JD.com estimated that the number of Chinese families with pets will exceed 100 million by the end of this year. Pet owners are mainly families with children, young single people and elderly people.

About 31% of pet owners have more than two pets, often a combination of cats and dogs.

Zealous pet owners are inclined to spare no expense when it comes to their furry friends. This spending trend is fueled by increasing disposable income, the growing number of people living alone and, more recently, the need for emotional attachment during the pandemic.

“I’ve had an obvious increase in orders since 2020, and many customers said they really bonded with their pets during the lockdown,” said Chengdu resident Yolanda Yue, whose services include animal pairing.

Other popular services — online and offline — include dog and cat cafes, pet medical insurance, pet walking robots, and gourmet pet food brands.

“From cradle to grave, you can find just about anything for your ‘baby,'” Yue said. “A lot of people really treat their pets like family, like their kids.”

JD.com’s report revealed how pet owners celebrate all kinds of festivals with pets.

It showed a 63% increase in sales of pet festival costumes on its platform between 2021 and 2022, with the biggest increases for New Years and Halloween. Other popular festival offerings include sticky pet dumplings for the Dragan’s Boat Festival and mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Funeral services are a newcomer to the mix.

Enchongtang, a nationwide chain of pet funeral services founded in 2019 in Hangzhou, capital of neighboring Zhejiang province, now covers 68 Chinese cities and serves more than 100,000 pets annually.

A funeral package for a pet weighing less than 5 kilograms ranges from 680 yuan ($94) to 1,370 yuan.

Last year, Enchongtang raised more than 20 million yuan and completed a first round of financing of 15 million yuan, according to founder Xu Hua.

It was among a handful of companies allowed to continue operations during Shanghai’s two-month COVID lockdown earlier this year. He cremated approximately 2,000 animal remains during this time.

Funeral services are relatively new in China.

According to business information provider Tianyancha, there are now more than 2,400 pet funeral-related businesses in the country.

“Pet funerals are not new in developed countries,” Xu said. “In Japan, for example, pet funerals have been around for about 16 years, and a funeral can last three to four hours, with 32 steps.”

Lucien Ye, his wife and two friends became Xu’s franchisees in August.

“Many friends talked about the growing demand for pet funerals, so I did my own research and found huge potential,” Ye said. “People are changing the way they deal with animal remains.”

Cat owner Jaimee Jin had hamsters when she was in college. When they died, his mother threw their remains in the trash, without his consent. Her ex-boyfriend, who also owned hamsters, buried his pets in the upscale downtown district of Xintiandi, saying he wanted them to “lie where he can’t afford to. live”.

Both disposal methods are illegal. According to national regulations, the remains of pets must be cremated or buried in a 1.5 meter pit filled with lime. Burial sites should be a specified distance from water sources.

“Now that I’ve heard about pet funeral services, I won’t let my mom throw my cats’ bodies into a trash can when they die,” Jin said. “They deserve a decent farewell.”

People are changing the way they deal with animal remains. A popular service that turns ashes after cremation into necklaces.

Unlike emerging funeral services, pet medical insurance has been around for 18 years. It grew quite slowly for 10 years until the big insurance companies saw the potential and stepped in. Today, almost all major insurance companies offer coverage for pets.

“There has been quite a large increase in the number of pet owners coming to see us over the past two years,” said Zhang Xin, president of Mary’s Veterinary Hospital in Shanghai. “About 10-20% have their pets insured. We often help them file claims. Most policies cover common pet illnesses, although some rarer conditions may not be covered.”

Some people consider pet services a consideration when moving.

“The pet environment was part of my decision making when I got a job offer in Shenzhen,” said Julian Ong, a Canadian who adopted a stray dog ​​shortly before receiving the job offer. supply from the city of southern China. “I found out there were a lot of services there, even pet funerals.”

When his dog Pidan died last year, Ong gave him a good start which he says eased his grief.

Enchongtang founder Xu said the now crowded pet funeral market had its unscrupulous vendors.

“I hope standards will be adopted for the industry so that pet owners can be assured of quality services,” he said.

This year, Berkeley Humane will find loving homes for 1,000 dogs and cats, and the BISSELL Pet Foundation grant reduces adoption costs and will go a long way towards achieving that goal.

The devastating rise in owner abandonment has left thousands of socialized, house-trained, leash-trained animals desperate to find homes,” said Cathy. Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Our fall ‘Empty the Shelters’ will support the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters during this critical time. Opening your home to a shelter animal saves a life and creates space to give another pet a chance.”

Every animal adopted at Berkeley Humane receives medical care and behavioral evaluations before being released for adoption. Included are all current vaccines, microchipping, neutering surgery, flea, tick and worm treatments, felv/fiv testing for cats at the discretion of our veterinarian or heartworm prevention for cats. dogs. The adoption package also includes a leash or temporary carrier, $250 in medical care with VCA Animals Hospitals, a certificate for a free exam at a local veterinary hospital, optional discounted pet insurance, and a 30% off dog training classes through Berkeley Humane’s. dog training program, Spay the Bay.

“So if you’ve been thinking about adding a furry pet to your family before the holiday season, this weekend really is the best time to do it,” Zerwekh said.

WHO: Berkeley Humane (Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society)
WHAT: “Empty the Shelters” Adoption Fee Reduction ($50)
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2, 2022, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
WHY: Return pets to loving families, freeing up space for other animals

From socialization to preventative care, here’s what smart pet owners are doing to protect their furry family members.

You’ve thought about it for a while, browsed some (adorable) pet photos on Instagram…and now you’re ready to take the plunge and bring home a dog or cat. This is an exciting step, and one that deserves to be celebrated! – but it also requires preparation. To give your new furry bestie the best life, you need to adopt five habits that keep them – and your wallet – thriving.

One of the best things you can do is prepare for the inevitable with pet insurance, but you can also take additional steps to keep them healthy. Here is an overview of our best practices guide.

Budget for pet food and care

How can you prepare to own a pet without knowing exactly how much it will cost? Before adopting or buying a dog or cat, create a financial checklist current monthly and annual expenses. These costs vary with each family and lifestyle, but in general you should expect the following:

  • Food and treats
  • Heartworm medication
  • Flea/tick medication
  • Toys, beds, leashes/collars
  • Grooming
  • Veterinary visits and vaccinations
  • Coaching
  • Walking, pet sitting or daycare

These budget items will vary depending on where you live, the health and size of your pet, and your lifestyle. If organic or specialty dog ​​food is important to you, work it into your budget. And if your family takes two vacations a year when you can’t travel with your cat, factor in the cost of a sitter to keep them calm and well cared for. By taking these steps and regularly reviewing your overall financial situation, you’re well on your way to becoming a wise pet owner, says Lauren Anastasio, Certified Financial Planner and Director of Financial Counseling at Stash.

“Seventy dollars for a bag of dry food might seem like an expensive expense if you have to buy it at the last minute when you’re low on it, but if you include your pet’s expenses in your monthly spending budget, it doesn’t matter to you. won’t quite seem so painful,” she continues. “Anticipation is key.”

Be diligent with regular preventative care

When you visit your doctor for an annual physical, he gives your body a tune-up, checking for any changes or abnormalities. The same goes for your dog or cat. While they may see a vet more often in the first year of life, actively prioritizing preventative care could save your pet’s life — and your wallet, says veterinarian Carrie Ealy, regional medical director for IndiaVet.

Regular visits and the administration of preventative medications to your pet can reduce significant medical expenses. “Many serious illnesses can be completely prevented by following recommended vaccination guidelines. Heartworm can be very expensive, but it is easily prevented with properly administered preventive agents. Fleas and ticks can carry and transmit many diseases, sometimes fatal,” she continues. “By using proper prevention, you greatly reduce your pet’s risk of contracting any of these diseases.”

Plan ahead for surprises at the vet

Even with preventative care, however, surprises happen. And while your dog or cat may not be spending their days in the wild, they’re still animals — and they’re not always predictable. This is why the veterinarian Brittany Kleszynski, DVM says it’s a good idea to have savings set aside for unexpected financial expenses. “It will help you avoid the stress of unexpected costs and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet will receive the necessary care in the event of an emergency, such as a broken bone or accidental ingestion of a foreign object,” she says. .

Socialize and train your pets

Although it may not seem so important that your dog has friends, it can actually make all the difference, according to Dr. Ealy. As she explains, introducing your pup to a variety of situations and people early on can reduce stress and fear as they grow into adulthood.

“By teaching them to be confident in situations that could be frightening, you reduce the risk of aggressive behaviors, anxiety, and the need for veterinary intervention with behavioral counseling or medication to address these issues,” he explains. -she.

And believe it or not, while cats often have a reputation for being loners, they also crave companionship. Dr. Ealy says felines need a variety of environmental stimulants to stay healthy and thrive. “There are several diseases that occur in our feline friends that are largely due to a lack of environmental stimulation, including aggressive behaviors, inappropriate urination/defecation, and obesity, to name a few” , she adds.

Get pet insurance

Last — but certainly not least! – go ahead and invest in pet insurance for your pet. Much like the health insurance your family relies on to stay healthy, pet insurance does exactly the same thing. It helps you prepare for emergencies and lets you care for your dog or cat with less anxiety about what “might happen.” Just make sure you read the fine print so you can understand what is covered and what is not.

“Having an insurance plan in place reduces the financial burden associated with unforeseen veterinary costs by offering partial to full reimbursement,” says Dr. Ealy. “This allows you, as the pet owner, to more easily make treatment choices for your pet without the added stress of finances.”

A new study has revealed the most popular dog breed in every US state, with a particular type of companion dog leading by a considerable distance.

Everyone has their reasons for preferring a certain type of dog: some are looking for a kid-friendly dog, others favor a companion dog that enjoys walking and the outdoors, and a few even opt for a foursome friend. legs that is happy to sit inside a handbag.

What many may not realize, however, is that your choice of dog breed can say a lot about you as a person.

A study by psychologists at the University of Bath Spa in the UK concluded that our race preference can often be a reflection of our own personality.

“We go for dogs that look a little like us, just like we go for a love partner that looks a little like us,” lead researcher Lance Workman told Live Science. The study saw 1,000 purebred dog owners complete a questionnaire designed to assess their personality traits.

What they found was a correlation between dog type and owner personality. For example, those who owned Golden Retrievers, Labradors or Chihuahuas were the most agreeable while those who owned Bulldogs or German Shepherds were more outgoing.

The apparent weighting of Labrador owners could partly explain the results of a new survey by Embrace Pet Insurance exploring the most popular dog breeds in each US state.

Labrador Retrievers led the way, with the study finding them to be the most popular breed in 80% of states. “Being known as one of the kindest and most equal breeds, it’s no secret that this incredibly loyal and intelligent breed is the favorite of the majority of the country,” a spokesperson said. Embrace Pet Insurance.

According to data, Labradors have led the way in: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

Golden Retrievers rank as the second most popular breed in America, with research noting that this type of dog’s “friendly and outgoing” demeanor makes them a great addition for any family looking to welcome a dog into their home. home. They ranked as the most popular breed in Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Interestingly, German Shepherds came in third, with their protective and hard-working approach making them popular in North Dakota and Tennessee.

French bulldogs were also a popular choice, ranking first among Hawaii’s most popular dog breeds, while the protective qualities of Doberman pinschers helped this particular breed rank as the best dog breed in Minnesota. .

There were similar outliers in Nebraska and West Virginia, where the goldendoodle and miniature schnauzer came out on top as the most popular breed in those two states respectively.

Jenna Mahan, Director of Claims and Underwriting at Embrace Pet Insurance, further analyzed the data by region and found some additional insights of interest.

While Labradors, Golden Retrievers and mixed-breed dogs outnumber all others in most states, examining the data by region revealed some unique quirks. For example, in the Midwest, there are more Great Danes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Miniature Schnauzers than average.

Mahan also found that in the northeast there seem to be more Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Havanese, Cockapoos, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Dachshunds and Pembroke Welsh Corgi than average.

In the South, meanwhile, there are usually more Miniature Schnauzers, Maltese and Pugs than average. Elsewhere in the West, there seem to be more Chihuahuas, Maltipoos, Shih Tzus and Miniature Schnauzers than average.

“It makes sense that some of the larger breeds would be popular in areas like the Midwest because these breeds lend themselves well to larger spaces and yards to run in,” a spokesperson for Embrace Pet Insurance said.

“You tend to see this same trend with smaller breeds in the Northeast, but it’s important to note that the region includes states like Vermont, which may also explain the prevalence of Bernese Mountain Dogs.”

In addition to data on the most popular dog breeds, Mahan also pulled data to determine the most popular pet names by state and found that “Luna” is the most popular pet name. popular in 24 states. The top five states with the most Lunas are California (734), Florida (311), New York (231), Washington (228), and New Jersey (152).
