If your dog or cat has fleas, get fresh pine shavings and let your pet sleep for several days at these shavings. Fleas cannot stand the strong resinous smell, so they run away quickly. There is another way to deal with fleas. Take tobacco (you can crumble cigarettes for this) and make tobacco decoction. Then give your pet a bath with this decoction. Of course, the animal won't like such a bath but after this procedure relief from fleas is guaranteed.

It would be really cool to have a pet door that responded to a collar on your pet's neck only. If another cat or dog tried to get in, the door wouldn't budge. If your pet couldn't stay inside because of the heat or simply wanted to do its business in the yard, it would be easy to get out and return.

I am thinking of creating some fish saving device. It can be an aquarium which records the water temperature, ph level, oxygen level, amount of food eaten etc. and automatically fixes the problem by adding food and/or by adding oxygen or heating the water according to the settings defined.

The idea is to develop a system that will allow pet owners a way to interact with their pets in real time by remotely controlling toys through the internet. The system will include a webcam, control box, and two devices that will be able to each move and swing a standard pet toy. Users will be able to log in and manipulate the toys from the on screen controls while watching their pet via the live webcam feed.

Why not create a device that will combine a pet poop scoop with an incinerator, effectively turning pet waste into sterile ash in seconds? The device will consist of a retractable handle and an integrated decomposition chamber that will contain replaceable cartridges of as yet undisclosed chemicals. The pet waste will mix with the chemicals to become odorless, sterile ashes in under a minute.

Do not fill an aquarium with water just after the purchase. If an aquarium has a frame and glass junctures are covered with putty or sealant, then let such an aquarium settle for a couple of days, change the water once a day. During this time, all toxins from putty are supposed to dissolve in water. Then wash your aquarium thoroughly, fill it with water and leave for at least a day. And only then put fishes into it. The water level in the aquarium drops over time... this is...

Are you tired of cat fights as I am? My idea is to create collars with special device built-in. Whenever cats fight, this device will give them an electrical shock so as they stop.

1. The most important step in getting rid of cat hair in your home is to keep it from getting loose there in the first place. If you brush your cat on a regular basis--anywhere from daily to once every two weeks, depending on how much your cat sheds - the cat will have less hair to shed on its own. In fact, most cats enjoy being brushed as long as you use gentle pressure with a brush that isn't scratchy. 2. A cat's skin and coat are easily affected by the animal's diet, so...

A new cat door will only open for approved microchipped pets, preventing strays and random animals from entering the home. The door will include an integrated microchip reader that will store the information of up to 32 cats. The door will open when the cat lowers its head to enter, automatically locking again once the pet has passed through. The reader will be compatible with most microchips. A larger version for small dogs could be developed as well.

Thanks to their sharp claws cats can freely climb on trees of almost any height. While this doesn't disturb us, such a behavior of cats seems even funny.... But not always. Sometimes there are situations when you need to prohibit cats from behaving in such a way. How can you do this? It's easy. For example, to prevent cats from climbing on trees and killing chicks in the nests bind tin plate on the branch. Such a barrier is the one that cats are not able to overcome...
