How to Find a 4H Progam to Enter a German Shepherd In

4H exhibiting is a great experience for both you and your dog. Here are ways to get you started:

Steps

1. Contact or visit your local extension office or county fair office and ask them for a list of that county's 4H clubs. Typically they will be organized into subject order, and you typically want to join a club that specializes in dogs or pets. If you can't find any, move on the next county. If you still fail to find any, you can probably join any club. Though they will not be as knowledgeable in such areas, you will still be able to show.
   
   • When you find your potential club, there should be a contact number included. Ask for meeting times, more contact information, the advisors, and any additional information that is important. If there isn't a contact number included, talk to the extension office or fair office and ask them for one.
2. You will probably need a project title and book if showing through traditional 4H, which can be purchased through the 4H handbook and family guide (your advisors should provide them).
3. Usually your club will provide you with information regarding entering and judging through your project. Animal and livestock projects are very different from others, so be sure to receive very specific information.

Tips

• Typically 4H exhibition is for children ages 9-19. If you are over this age limit, consider becoming an advisor for clubs instead.
• 4H usually starts in late winter/early spring and ends late summer. If 4H is not in season at your current time, you may have to wait until it comes around.

How to Buy Pet Insurance

Many families treat their pets as pampered children and strive to provide the same benefits for the animals as they would an actual human. This includes getting pet insurance to ensure the furry loved one stays in good health. Pets have medical issues just like people do, and treatment can be expensive, especially if a condition is chronic or requires surgery or expensive medication. Pet insurance can help keep the costs manageable.

Steps

1. Start looking for pet insurance companies.
   
   • Ask veterinarians for recommendations of pet insurance carriers.
   • Talk with pet owners for recommendations or referrals to the companies they use.
   • Check with local humane societies for recommendations.
2. Research pet insurance companies. You'll want to ask specific questions to help you narrow your choices.
   
   • Start by asking about basic pet wellness expenses. Find out what the company covers. Does it cover the basics, such as annual vaccinations and examines?
   • You'll want to ask what the deductible options are and the variance in the premium price for the different options. Other questions can help you learn more about the insurance company. What is the co-pay? How do you file claims? How long does it take the company to process claims?
   • Ask whether the company will cover specific types of tests. Does the pet insurance carrier cover emergency medical expenses? What about blood tests, urine tests, MRIs or X-rays?
   • Determine whether the insurance will cover surgeries and animal hospital stays, as well as expenses for follow-up care.
   • Some companies may cover cosmetic treatments that help a pet stay healthy, such as nail trimming and dental procedures.

   • Touch on delicate issues, as well, such as coverage for end-of-life pet care and cremation services.
3. Request a written quote from each pet insurance carrier under consideration. The quote should include information about deductibles, co-pays and maximum coverage amounts.
   
   • Look for a level rating assigned to pets. A puppy may be a level 1, while a 7-year-old dog receives a level 3. There'll be a price difference in the premiums because of the age difference in the pets.
4. Pay for the pet insurance annual premiums in one lump sum or installments, as available through the pet insurance company.

Dehydration kill rabbits, just like it kills humans. Also, in the summer, you should use hay or newspaper for the cage, because it doesn't hold the heat as much at cloth, and therefore the cage will be nice and cool for your rabbit.
2. Winter. In the winter is a good idea to keep some warm (not scolding) water in bottles, in the corners of your rabbits' cage. This will warm up the cage a bit. Also, use cloth and hay in the winter, because it holds the heat better than newspaper, and your rabbit will have a place to hide, and keep warm. Don't let any wet newspaper stay in the cage, because the chemicals would be dangerous for your rabbit.
3. Thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are the worst weather for your rabbit, because the loud noises will startle them and them and they might jump, scared, and hurt themselves.
