Coach Pet Accessories

I was drooling over a leather coat on the Coach website yesterday and found a section of CoachPet Accessories. Only one word can sum up my impression: ADORABLE! This is my favorite:

I have read many sources stating that pet supplies and accessories are proving to be fairly recession proof. In fact, in many cases, pet owners are willing to cut back on their personal expenses before they cut back on expenses for their pets. I would love to hear from you, how are you budgeting expenses for your beloved furry friends? Are you more apt to splurge on YOU or on your PET?

Please take the poll in the upper right hand corner of the PetJets blog. We would love to hear from you!

Spray your way to better health for your pets!

So many of us take a variety of supplements, to ensure that we get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Some of us also take supplements for specialized health issues like joint health, heart health or for whatever ails us! We want to feel healthy, energized, limber and young so we can enjoy a long, active life and lifestyle.


How about your pet? Do you think that every day they are getting all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients from their diet? Most veterinarians would probably surprise you with a simple answer of “No”. Your pets are much like you: sometimes you eat a balanced diet, sometimes you are more physically active than others, and sometimes you feel a bit sluggish and without energy. You are bombarded by and exposed to multiple toxins in our work and home environment that affect your ability to absorb nutrients and impact your health. So, what do you do? You take your daily vitamins, minerals, and the necessary supplements to support your health and well-being. Your pet deserves that same attention!


One of the easiest solutions to getting the right supplements to your pets is to introduce VitaMist Pet Spray Vitamins into their every day routine! Spray vitamins are easy to give to your pet, they are quickly absorbed and not a single drop of liquid or part of a pill is wasted! In fact, we know from studies with humans that parts of a pill supplement are passed through the human body without fully breaking down and releasing that supplement into our system! Furthermore, how fun is it to give an animal a pill??!! While it can provide endless entertainment for us to hide it in their food, or a treat they love or slather it in peanut butter or something else to disguise the pill, that poor pet is not getting the full benefit from the pill supplement as it passes through their system either!


You can simply spray the VitaMist Pet Spray Vitamins directly into your pets’ mouth, and your pet has an immediate release of the necessary vitamins and nutrients that will be be readily absorbed! Your pets will even love the flavors! For example, VitaCanine is liver-flavored! Well…maybe not my favorite flavor in the world, but your dog will truly savor it! Better yet, you don’t even have to spray it in their mouth; you can simply spray it on their food. Does it get any easier to ensure your pet’s happiness, health and longevity?!
And here the amazing benefits for each VitaMist Pet Spray Vitamin:


VitaCanine: Energy-producing B vitamins, A and E vitamins, calcium, phosphorous and iodine are just some of the SIXTEEN total vitamins and minerals in VitaMist VitaCanine!


DogEase: This is a multivitamin with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, two well known supplements for enhancing bone and joint health. This is perfect for older dogs, but is a great routine to start immediately for your puppies!


VitaFeline: A special multivitamin for the kittens and cats in your life with SIXTEEN essential nutrients including vitamin B, vitamin A, phosphorus, iodine and taurine.

Three Easy Tips for Holiday Pet Travel

PetJets.net is a directory for travelers to find pet-friendly private jets for their travel needs. We are pet lovers at our very core, and wanted to pass along a couple of basic, helpful tips for safe travel with your pets this Holiday Season, and truly any time of the year! We want you to get your pets safely to your awaiting jet, to enjoy being part of the "Pet Jet Set"!


1. When your pet is in your car with you, the best thing that you can do is ensure that they are restrained. We put on our seatbelts, your pets should be equally secured. In fact, recently I saw an incident that could have been very tragic. At a stop light, a beautiful dog seemingly slipped/jumped/fell out of an open window of an SUV. The driver panicked, jumped out of her SUV and retrieved her dog who got confused and started to wonder back into the traffic lane. Even I wanted to jump out to assist her and her poor doggie!


You can easily purchase a leash/seatbelt or harness, depending upon the size of your pet, or a special carseat for smaller pets. Keeping them secure keeps them not only keeps them safer, that security helps you to drive safely to your destination. With weather conditions getting interesting at this time of the year, having your pet restrained is peace of mind for you and helps you concentrate on the road!


2. Make sure that you pack snacks, fresh water, even extra food. While you may be driving a short distance, traffic jams, accidents, even rapidly changing weather conditions can make a quick trip a long adventure! This will help your pet stay calm, healthy, and happy for the duration of the drive. Again, this also brings you peace of mind for any driving conditions that get challenging.


3. A pet first aid kit is a crucial tool to have in your car for any time that you drive with your pet. Many of us travel with a small first aid kit for the "two-legged" members of the family, your beloved family pet needs the same first aid assistance should they become ill, or there is an accident. This kit should also include backups of any medications your pet takes. A great tip is have copies of all vaccinations, a recent color photo of your pet (should you somehow be separated from your pet), and the name/number of your vet all secured in a small baggie taped to the top of the first aid kit. This information could be vital for the safety and well-being of your pet, having it all in one place at your fingertips will again be more peace of mind for you.

Holiday Travel with Pets

PetJets.net knows all too well that traveling by air with pets can be a serious challenge in today's world of commercial aviation. In fact, the Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org) recommends that you DO NOT transport your pet by commercial air unless absolutely necessary!


Why? There are a myriad of reasons, which include the sad fact that there are countless documented incidents of beloved pets suffering through commercial air flights, getting sick, dehydrated, accidentally injured, even some otherwise healthy animals not even surviving the flight.


PetJets.net wants travelers to know that is an alternative to flying commercial with your beloved pets. Jet charter is smarter when it comes to air travel with our four-legged friends! Here are a few reasons that the small investment in flying charter pays a huge dividend in your pet's health, happiness and safety, and your peace of mind.


* When you fly charter, you can travel with your pet in your arms or at your side on the jet. There are pet-friendly aircraft and charter companies located on the PetJets.net directory, and you can find a jet that will meet your travel needs easily and conveniently. You need not be separated from your pet for a single moment, and never have to worry about your pet even being allowed on board, loaded into the cargo hold, getting lost or delayed if you have connecting flights, or your flight is cancelled.


* You may need to worry about pet carriers, if one comfortable for your pet, and approved by the airlines. If you pet is small enough, you may be allowed to bring them on board with an additional fee, depending upon the commercial airlines rules. However, they are not allowed out of the carrier, and there are anecdotal instances of travelers arriving with small pets to carry on and being denied as commercial airlines have limitations on the number of carry on pets they allow per flight!


* Furthermore, larger pets of a certain size may have to be checked into the cargo hold, which may or may not be climate-controlled. With cold weather upon us, this could be dangerous, if not life-threatening, for a pet to be confined in a carrier in a icy cold cargo hold. Even if you are traveling to a warm weather destination, the same caution is issued: that cargo hold can easily become excessively and dangerously hot. The bottom line: the commercial airlines technically consider your pet to be checked luggage. A jet charter company considers your pet to be a client.


* You can ensure that your pet stays comfortable, content, fed and hydrated. Some charter companies, such as VAS, Inc., have a special “Pawssport” Program and even offer their clients traveling with pets special treats, toys and other little travel luxuries. Give yourself the special Holiday gift of knowing that your furry friend is safely traveling in your arms or by your side AND being pampered in the manner they deserve!

Welcome to the launch of PetJets.net!

Welcome to PetJets.net! What is PetJets.net?


PetJets.net is a world-wide online directory of pet-friendly private jets for the jet charter and travel industry. We welcome jet charter operators and fractional jet companies to become members and create listings of their jets to include photos of the jets, description of the jets and services, and post information regarding their requirements. We welcome anyone from the jet charter industry and pet owners to use our directory free of charge to find a pet-friendly jet for their travel needs! Anyone can search by airport identifier code, city, or state to find a pet-friendly jet and ensure that their pets join the "Pet Jet Set"!


Why a directory specific to pet-friendly jets and jet charter?

In the U.S. alone, 63% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.1 million homes.**

Pet ownership is on the rise. In 1988, the first year the survey was conducted, 56% of U.S. households owned a pet as compared to 63% in 2006.**

Spending on pets and pet supplies is also on the rise. For 2008, it estimated that $43.4 billion will be spent on our pets in the U.S.**

Pet owners love their pets and frequently search out the very best in vet care, food, grooming, and pet treats/accessories. It is already well-known the amazing physical, psychological and emotional benefits that owning and caring for pets can bring to their owners. And, pet owners want to share that love and those benefits with their pets! With this, a pet luxury industry has captured a growing trend in how pet owners wish to spoil and lovingly care for their pets, which are often not considered pets at all but a member of the family!

More and more pet owners are flying and traveling with their loved ones. Pet owners who fly commercial with their pets have found recent issues within this industry to be very difficult to manage. Jets that are stuck on tarmacs awaiting take-off for hours can be frustrating if not down-right dangerous for the pets onboard. Just as passengers complain about the lack of water, food, and other services...what about the pets on those planes? Waiting for hours in airport terminals to find out whether or not a flight has been cancelled can be equally anxious and upsetting to a pet who is confined in a carrier.


Flying via personal jet or charter is certainly a special luxury, and one that definitely can put many of the headaches and heartaches involved with traveling with a pet to rest. Flying on a personal jet or jet charter does not involve a pet traveling in the cargo hold. Instead, depending upon the jet owner's instructions, you could have that pet next to you in a carrier, or snuggled on your lap on a blanket, or next to you on a pet bed. You can ensure that your pet is properly hydrated, kept fed, and give it treats to soothe any flying anxiety and know that your pet will enjoy the trip with you. That is a special peace of mind for any pet owner!

Please visit PetJets.net today and find the pet-friendly jet for your travel needs! And, for jet charter operators and fractional jet executives, post your pet-friendly jets on PetJets.net and see how addressing this important and growing trend will assist you in your jet management business. Bookmark us and check frequently as we will be adding pet-friendly jets frequently and include links for important pet travel supplies and accessories!
