Pictures of Baby Pet Animals

Everyone loves pictures of baby animals. In many veterinary clinics and animal hospitals you will find cork boards full of client provided dog and cat pictures. If you don’t like baby animals you probably have no soul. They evoke the same kind of reaction in people that pictures of baby humans do, except to a much greater degree, and the gap between human and animal cuteness increases drastically as humans get older. For some reason, an animal can perform the most mundane action and it becomes cute. Imagine that you were looking at a picture of a group of people sleeping. You’d raise an eyebrow and wonder why someone thought this would make good photo subject material. But look at pictures of baby animals sleeping and suddenly it becomes the most adorable thing ever.

Because of this, people post up archives of baby animal photos or they even dedicate whole blogs like Cute Overload to posting and fawning over pictures of baby animals and miscellaneous animal cuteness: puppies, kittens, chicks, hamsters, etc. They even feature baby animals that don’t normally come to mind as being cute, such as baby snakes, snails and turtles that are basically smaller versions of themselves as adult. Actually, when you think about it almost anything becomes cuter when it’s miniature.

What exactly is it about pictures of baby animals, and animals in general, that so appeal to the masses? We can read about accidents and murders in the newspaper and barely bat an eye, but throw a dog into traffic and it becomes a national tragedy that’s covered in the media for days, drawing sympathy as they flash and print the picture of poor Leo before his cruel and untimely end. Humans don’t get this kind of sympathy or attention unless they’re celebrities. It’s almost as if being an animal already grants you celebrity or some sort of elevated status.

But ironically, humans have also subjected animals to unusual cruelty and punishment. Animals have been hunted to feed us, line our coats, scent our perfumes and many other purposes. They’ve been used extensively as test subjects for countless experiments. Animal abuse is a common enough phenomenon that there’s a police force dedicated to apprehending animal abusers. Why do we mistreat the very creatures that we practically worship at times, and actually did in the olden days?

To be fair, animals aren’t venerated as a whole. You usually won’t see ants and nematodes getting the same amount of love that dogs and cats do. Neither does everyone venerate animals, but it’s difficult not to find baby animal pictures endearing. One must remember, however, that they are an idealistic representation of animal life that is inconsistent with many of our real life interactions with them.

Vet Clinic Advice on Dog Car Seat Covers

Now, why do you need a dog car seat cover? Ask your Veterinarian. Read on and be in the know!

At first glance, it's hard to imagine why a dog would need a car seat cover. Truth be told, the dog car seat cover plays a vital role in the healthy appearance of your car and benefits your pooch in many of the same ways your own car seat covers do you. If your dog is typical of most canines, he's much more rowdy than most humans. Just getting in the car is joy-provoking. On comes the rowdy. Unlike people, Rover or Missy has big, long claws, used when climbing in your car. Dogs also scratch a lot, sometimes just for fun. Dogs drool. They lick things. Your veterinarian can give you good breeds. If your dog gets that last bite of your burger or fries, remember, he doesn't use napkins. If he's an older guy, with impaired eyesight, he might just sit on that last fry. He's also got lots of fur, which, naturally ends up on the car seat. Notwithstanding this dog definition of 'wear-and-tear', there are plenty of other reasons to get a dog car seat cover.

There's the comfort issue. Just as you don't want to scorch the back of your legs sitting down on a hot car seat, neither does your dog. White might be a good color, as white reflects light, and so, heat. You might consider a double-sided dog car seat cover, with one side white for summer, and the reverse side a dark, cozy-in-the-winter color. (Spraying your dog car seat cover with a good water repellent helps when it comes to cleaning.) Dogs rely heavily on scent per our shuler vet clinic. With his own personal car seat cover, he'll probably start fetching it when it looks like there's going to be an outing. He won't leave home without it.

As for material, the easily cleaned dog car seat cover should be made of a material that dog hair has trouble sticking to, such as heavy duty canvas. It won't be too hot for him to lie down on in warm weather, and a stiff brush available from your animal hospital should remove dog hair, squished fries and whatever else found its way on to your dog car seat cover during his visit. Then, you just throw it in the wash. So much easier than spending hours plucking dog hair out of the seats of your car just so that you can take your mother out for dinner.

So you can see that the concept of a car seat cover for your dog is not bizarre, but eminently practical. Not only does your dog ride in comfort and have the movement recommended by veterinarians, but you can basically shake off the mess after each use. The real payoff in your dog's car seat cover comes when you decide to sell your car. You'll be able to sell it for a much better price! Now, you're a smart dog owner! And Rover keeps his dog car seat cover to port over to your next vehicle.
