#1 – Pet Insurance can be very beneficial for you & your precious pet

Pet insurance is an easy way to take control of a pet’s medical expenses. Research the various plans that are available and make it a duty to talk to your veterinarian to ensure the most appropriate type of coverage.

#2 – Good preventive care decreases the risk of pet dental disease

Dental plaque, tartar build up, and other bacterial infections are very common. If they aren’t properly taken care of then the spread of them throughout a pet’s body can affect their bodily organs.

Be sure to seek care for a pet if you notice signs such as: bad breath, weight loss, yellow teeth, nasal discharge, and/or red or swollen gum.

Good preventive care includes: purchasing chew toys, brushing teeth, feeding a pet premium pet food, and seeing your veterinarian regularly.

#3 – Store your pet’s food safely

Queen City Petsitting thinks that it is best to store food in a dry, cool place away from sunlight. Improperly storing pet food could give way to mold and other deadly toxins.

Be sure to buy only the freshest pet foods available and keep it in a place with a stable temperature. If the pet food has a foul odor or your pet refuses to eat it – discard the food or return it for a refund.

#4 – Use safer pet products at home and in the yard

Pets tend to be very nosey at times. As a pet owner, you should use products for your home and yard that are safe for pets and also benefit the environment at the same time.

Consider replacing lawn chemicals in favor of organic fertilizers.

During pet bath time, lather up with a natural approach. There are several products available that do not contain any artificial fragrances, sodium lauryl sulfates or artificial color.  

Use yard and home products made of recyclable material.

Queen City Petsitting suggests that you invest in environmentally-friendly cleaning products that break-down non-harmful decomposition.

#5 – Purchase sustainable, durable pet products

Buy durable, long lasting toys that your pet can enjoy but not chew up in a matter of minutes! You can even purchase pet toys made of recycled materials, organic cotton, or recycled plastic bottles.

It would be more fun for you and your pet if you make your own toys. Remember, your pet doesn’t care what their toys look like – they just want something fun to play with!

#6 – Go green on holidays!

You should never be ashamed to celebrate holidays with your cat, dog, or snake! Whether it’s your pets birthday or Christmas make sure that each occasion is eco-friendly.

Consider wrapping a pet’s gift in newspaper, and then recycle the paper. It is a good idea to give your pets consumable treats and food. Handmade toys are also a great gift.

What can you do to be awarded or knighted by the Queen of England?

I read somewhere that the Queen of England knighted Bill Gates, but I want to know if the Queen can give awards to successful people? Do you have to be from the U.K to get knighted or awarded by the Queen? What are other types do people get awarded or knighted?

If I'm very successful or have given greater impact to the world peace I wouldn't mind getting knighted by the Queen,King,Prince, or Princess of England I will definitely rush to England for my ceremony.

Only citizens can use the honorific of Sir or Dame.One has to do something extremely well,be it in charity,politics,business,entertainment.

Anyone can be nominated, but only exceptional people are honoured. If you want to see your candidate on the honours list, make sure your nomination has what it takes to make it all the way to Buckingham Palace. Achievement comes in many forms but honours committees are looking for someone who has made a difference in their field of work or community.

Honours can be awarded for all sorts of work - paid or unpaid - but your nominee must still be involved in the activity for which they are nominated.

Before you make your nomination, ask yourself the following questions. Has your nominee:

made a difference to their community or field of work?
brought distinction to British life and enhanced its reputation?
exemplified the best sustained and selfless voluntary service?
demonstrated innovation and entrepreneurship?
carried the respect of their peers?
changed things, with an emphasis on achievement?
improved the lot of those less able to help themselves?
displayed moral courage and vision in making and delivering tough choices?

http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/Honours/Knighthoods.aspx

A knighthood (or a damehood, its female equivalent) is one of the highest honours an individual in the United Kingdom can achieve.

While in past centuries knighthood used to be awarded solely for military merit, today it recognises significant contributions to national life.

Recipients today range from actors to scientists, and from school head teachers to industrialists.

A knighthood cannot be bought and it carries no military obligations to the Sovereign. ...Foreign citizens occasionally receive honorary knighthoods; they are not dubbed, and they do not use the style 'Sir'.

Such knighthoods are conferred by The Queen, on the advice of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, on those who have made an important contribution to relations between their country and Britain.

Foreign citizens given knighthoods over the years include Chancellor Kohl, President Mitterrand and Mayor Giuliani of New York.

Prolific playwright-composer Andrew Llyod-Webber wrote many award-winning musicals--Evita,Jesus Christ Superstar,Cats,Phantom of the Opera.He did something extremely well.
Rudy Giuliani won an honorary knighthood for the way he led New York during the 9/11 fiasco.
Others have won Olympic medals,earned millions and millions of dollars for charities--like Dame Elizabeth Taylor did for HIV/AIDS charities AmFar and her personal Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
