Since pets need daily care to lead healthy and happy lives, they can help kids learn how to be responsible in these and other ways. By feeding their dog, cat, or other furry friend on a regular basis, filling up the water bowl, cleaning the litter box, or any of the other daily duties pet owners have, your kids will learn a sense of responsibility that will last them a lifetime. Kids will also learn how important it is to maintain a regular schedule each day not just with their pet’s activities, but their own as well.

I am a strong believer in avoiding chemical products wherever possible however, where animal hygiene is concerned, chemical products are a necessity for the prevention and reduction of disease.

Vitec Global Limited has launched two new products onto the UK Pet Market through Debonaire Exotic Animal Supplies, Pet Shield™ and Zoo Shield™.

These non-toxic, antimicrobial cleaning products use hydrophobic technology to destroy pathogens on contact “continuously killing 99.9% of bacteria”.

• ‘Global warming' describes long term increases in temperature of the earth’s atmosphere.
• 'Climate’ refers to the average weather in a region over a period of typically 30 years or more. 
• 'Climate change’ refers to the recent changes in climate, which have been observed since the early 1900’s due to global warming
• 'Greenhouse gases’ are essential to the earths atmosphere, but in the right quantities.
• Global temeratures have increased by 1oC since pre-industrial times. The last time humans saw a change like this was the dawn of civilisation.
• A rise of just 1oC will create huge problems in future, for man and wildlife, which is already being seen in the Arctic. 
• Even if all greenhouse gas emissions were stopped, global temperature will continue to rise due to the gasses already in the atmosphere.

Without IMMEDIATE action on climate change, both humans and polar bears face a very uncertain future!
