Chewy.Com Review

First, let's get the legal stuff out of the way. I was not compensated for this review. I use this service personally and all opinions are 100% mine.

We live in a busy and hectic world. Many of us working outside the home and taking our kids, whether they be four footed or two legged, to some activity. Trying to remember how much pet food is left or the cost can be difficult. Let alone going to the store and finding out they are out of the brand you need.

Enter Chewy.com this online retailer caters to all pets not just a few like many other online retailers.  Living in a household with a variety of pets it is nice to be able to do one-stop shopping.

Not only does Chewy.com cater to ferret owners and other small animals but also cats and dogs. Chewy.com offers free shipping on orders over $49 which is easily met by this household. They also give 20% off your first autoship. How awesome is that you can set up when your next order should be sent to you and have it delivered right to your door?

The other feature I love is that I can set up to have an order delivered somewhere else. Like a shelter or rescue that can often use a donation of food or treats that they might not otherwise have.

Chewy.com also has flea preventives, toys, and other care supplies.  One can spend hours perusing the site. They also have customer service available 24/7, not that I've had to use it yet.
Why not give Chewy.com deals a look be sure to read the About Us Page and scroll all the way to the bottom to see the Nonprofits they help support.

Legalizing Ferrets In California

Ferrets have been banned in California since 1932 when the Fish and Game declared the ferret a wild animal.

Legalizeferrets.org has been working hard to get the ban lifted. Just recently the California Fish and Game listened to those that supported lifting the ban and the few who wished to keep the ban in place. While the meeting ended with the ban staying in place.

The new president, Eric Sklar, is willing to keep hearing about getting ferrets legalized but he has suggested that we work towards getting a bill on to the legislative floor.

The lifting of this ban would allow ferret outlaws (owners) to be able to have their pets without fear of losing them. As it stands now once a ferret is known about the owner has 24-48 hours to get to their ferret out of the state otherwise the ferret would be euthanized. At least the ferret owner has a chance to rescue their pet, unlike some BLS laws that just remove and kill without reason.

Between the entertainment industry and the media, ferrets are portrayed as wild and evil creatures. The sensationalizing of events involving a ferret sometimes is more than when the media report on a dog attack but say it is the result of a pit bull when in many cases that wasn't the breed involved.

Here are just a few facts about ferrets.

1. Ferrets have been domesticated for over 3000 years.

2. Ferrets do not do well in temperatures over 68 degrees (20 celsius)

California can get over 100 degrees (37.7 Celsius) in the summer.

3. Ferrets do not do well in temperatures under 30 degrees (1.1 Celsius)

4. The only ferret in the Wild in the USA is the Black-Footed Ferret (Mustela nigripes) who is actually a cousin to the ferret (Mustela putorius furo)

5. Ferrets are related to the weasel, otter, and mink. People that say they have seen a wild ferret more than likely have seen a mink.

6. Ferrets are NOT rodents. They were domesticated to hunt rodents and rabbits.

7. Ferrets are the third most owned companion pet in the US after cats and dogs.

8. Ferrets are known as domesticated exotics. This differs from the standard exotic animal which is often taken from the wild. Exotic means unusual or different. See #1

9. Ferrets can get heartworms and it only takes one to kill them.

10. Ferrets live on average 7-10 years.

11. Ferrets can be vaccinated against rabies and distemper.

I am asking that all of my followers write letters to the California State Senate and the State Assembly via email urging them to legalize ferrets. Granted there are nearly 400 representatives with these combined lists but if we can get every one of them on the ferret owners side then just maybe a bill will be created and passed allowing ferrets to live openly in California and also open up to those of us with ferrets to visit California. Both options will add more money to the economy of California.
