Jul 22, 2010 – These days, more pets than ever are traveling in vehicles. Unfortunately, though, most drivers aren't taking the steps necessary to ensure that this travel is safe for both them and their pets. Most pets travel unrestrained, increasing the risk of pet injury or fatality during an accident.
“As a responsible pet owner, it is critical that the owner seeks out, investigates and purchases the safest gear available,” says Pet Safety Lady Christina Selter, the founder of Bark Buckle UP. “From pet carriers, trailers and sidecars, to goggles and helmets, there are multiple ways to safeguard your pet while still being able to enjoy the freedom of motorcycle travel.”
Let's be honest: There's a lot of stuff out there that's bigger than your bike. But there's a lot you can do to help keep yourself safe while riding.
Allstate Insurance Company recommends the following when riders are out on the road:
• Always wear a helmet that fits right. Pick one that has the DOT label, which shows that it meets federal safety standards.
• Know your bike's limits.
• Stick to the speed limit.
• Don't tailgate other vehicles.
• Use your signals.
• Be respectful of other drivers. Don't weave through traffic or drive on the shoulder.
• Make sure other drivers can see you. Don't ride in blind spots and always use your headlights.
• Brake smart. Use both brakes at the same time, slow and steady.
“Even if you have been riding for years, it's a good idea to take a close look at your motorcycle insurance coverage,” says Allstate New York spokesperson Krista Conte. To help make sure you have the protection you need, contact your local Allstate agent.

Pet Safety Lady from Bark Buckle UP Arizona Radio Sho
Arizona’s sidewalks are pretty darn hot this time of year.
You work all day long and have to leave Fido inside till you get back.
What would you think about having an indoor bathroom for your pet?… Seems like a strange idea…fake grass for poochie to do his/her business but I guess it beats the carpet. This thing is called the potty patch and I had a chance to talk with pet trainer Christina Selter who claims its a pretty good thing! Kind of funny, but see what you think!

The Shampaw™ makes washing your dog remarkably easy and fun! The patent-pending glove allows the user to get deep into the dog's fur, creating a healthy and happy experience for both you and your pet.
"I have a doggie daycare and grooming facility, so we bathe at least 10 dogs a week, and I can honestly tell you that this invention has dramatically improved our process. It's absolutely fabulous! It is really great for getting deep into their coats and underneath their bellies, not to mention the dogs feel like they are in heaven! I would recommend the Shampaw to anyone who owns a dog!" – Barbie Marquet, Owner, Wags-to-Wishes.
Washing your dog no longer has to be a struggle or a mess. Shampaw™ flushes dirt and allergens from deep within the fur and treats dogs to a spa-like massage. Water passes through the hose into the built-in bladder, spraying from Shampaw's water-dispensing massage nozzles while moving and separating fur without tangling. Its cleansing and rinsing action works deep into the dog's fur, removing ticks, fleas, dirt, and grime in minutes!
"With pollution at an all-time high, any dog that goes in the water – be it the ocean or the lake needs to be rinsed off so they do not get skin infections or heat spots. Shampaw is the easiest way to ensure your dog stays healthy and clean!" – Christina Selter, Pet Safety Lady and founder of Bark Buckle UP.
No more filling the tub with water or having dirty water all over your bathroom. Avoid playing the "bite the water" game with your outdoor hose, or having your wet dog shake all over you mid-bath. Shampaw™ can be connected to a sink faucet for bathing a small dog, to the shower for larger dogs, or to an outdoor faucet for seriously dirty dogs.
Massage, clean, rinse. Three easy steps and voila! Never before has it been easier to wash your dog! Your dog will love you and you'll love Shampaw™.

Pet Safety for your Yard
Your yard and gardens are wonderful for relaxing, playing and entertaining however they can also be dangerous for our pets. Stated by Christina Selter the Pet Safety Lady, ”protecting our pets from potential hazards in our yards is of the utmost importance”
Statistics shows that tens of thousands of calls each year involving animal companions who’ve had potentially hazardous contact with insecticides, weed killers and pet-toxic plants.
Top Yard Pet Safety Tips from Pet Safety Lady:
When designing and planting your yard, it's a good idea to keep in mind that many popular outdoor plants are Poisonous: Sago Palm, Azalea and Rhododendron are toxic to dogs and cats. Sago Palm and other members of the Cycad family as well as Mushrooms can cause liver failure, while rhododendron, lily of the valley, oleander, azalea, rosebay, kalanchoe and foxglove all affect the heart.
Keep your pets out of other yards if you're not sure what kinds of plants or flowers they have. Keeping your pet off the lawn that you are not familiar with including parks and other public yard areas will help keep your pets happy and healthy.
Insecticides are NOT meant for four-legged consumption and always store pesticides in inaccessible areas from pets and children. Make sure to read the manufacturer's label carefully for proper usage and storage. Some fertilizer, herbicides, granules, sprays and insecticide baits may be needed to keep our yards healthy, but the ingredients are NOT good for our pets and children. The most dangerous forms of pesticides include snail bait with metaldehyde, systemic insecticides which contain disyston or disulfoton, fly bait with methomyl, mole or gopher bait with zinc phosphide and most forms of rat poisons.
As for Fertilizer or plant food these help to keep our yards healthy and green can cause destruction on your pets digestive tracts. Make sure to follow instructions carefully and follow the appropriate waiting period before letting your pet run wild outside. Pets that ingest large amounts of fertilizer can cause stomach upset and may result in life-threatening gastrointestinal obstruction.
Food and garden waste or also called Compost make excellent additions to garden soil, but depending on what you're putting into your compost, some foods can create problems for your pets. Coffee, moldy food and certain types of fruit and vegetables including some stems, leaves and seeds are toxic to your dogs and cats.
Like chocolate, Cocoa Mulch can pose problems for our pets it is a by-product of chocolate production and is used in landscaping. Pets love its sweet smell and depending on the amount ingestion it can cause a range of sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle tremors even elevate their heart rate, hyperactivity and seizures. Try using other alternatives, such as cedar, shredded pine or hemlock bark and always read and follow all instructions plus supervise your pets in the yard.
You should properly store all Garden Tools in a safe area, not randomly on the ground. They seem like no big deal, but rakes, tillers, hoes and trowels can be hazardous to pets and children. Injuries to eyes, paws or even noses plus rusty, sharp tools also create a danger for tetanus if your pet was to puncture their skin.
Fleas and Ticks lie in wait tall brush and grass in your yard so it is important to keep lawns mowed and trim. Fleas cause scratching, possible hair loss, tapeworms, scabs, hot spots and anemia from blood loss in both dogs and cats. Now Ticks can cause similar problems that lead to a multiplicity of complications from Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease and Babesia.
