Pet_Net had been off to a great start, but as of late, they have been under some scrutiny. Complications with two of Pet_Net’s dog sitters have placed the company in uncomfortable situations. The first event occurred while a Pet_Net dog sitter was taking a clients dog for a walk in a nearby park. At the moment, with nobody in sight, the sitter let the dog off of the leash. Moments later, a mother and child entered the park. The dog overexcitedly greeted the small child, knocking him over, and breaking his arm. The family is now pressing charges of negligence against Pet_Net and the sitter. The next event occurred while a Pet_Net sitter was looking after a dog at the client’s residence and discovered that the dog looked ill. The sitter took the dog to the vet, but incurred over $2,000 for the emergency service, which the owner is claiming they will not pay. It is …show more content…
Going forward, this will allow for you company to better identify the liability risk. If they are considered employees, than Pet_Net will have a much greater liability exposure than if they are considered independent contractors. Also, I would suggest, if the video hasn’t already clearly mentioned, your policy on taking dogs off the leash in public. My other suggestion for preventing actions like this is to clearly outline in the agreement with the customers your policy for emergency situations. The customer needs to clearly understand that if one of Pet_Net’s agents feels as if the dog is in need of greater care, they are going to take the best interest of the dog and seek help. If the customer wishes against that, than it should explicated agreed upon to prevent any possible liability. If you decide to take my suggestions, I believe that Pet_Net will no longer experience these troubles, and be back on track of becoming a successful

Hundreds of thousands of puppies are raised each year in commercial kennels (Puppymills Breed Misery). Puppy mills keep breed stock in horrible conditions for their short lives and produce unhealthy puppies with many issues. Not only are they committing “inhumane care,” but puppy mills are responsible for customer fraud. Many puppy mills are small and contain about twenty breeding dogs in basements, garages, or sheds “in cages stacked to the roof.” The dogs will stay in those cages without “exercise or sunlight.” Also, the dogs have two “litters” a year till about the age five. Other puppy mills contain hundreds of breeding dogs. The operators keep the puppies in “relative darkness” so the puppies seldom cry or draw attention. The dogs in puppy mills rarely receive medical attention. The females are dissipated because of the never-ending period of “producing and nursing litters.” Most dogs have “chronic ailments, rotten teeth, and ear, eye, and skin infections.” Many of the puppies purchased from puppy mills are un-healthy and not well-adjusted. The puppies have a high prevalence of hereditary syndromes and illnesses, and difficulties that occurs following the “purchase.” After the females cannot produce anymore liters...

Subaru and the Center for Pet Safety have gone out and actually tested pet carriers and crates in crash scenarios.

Pet owners may think about the cost, and what benefits come from buying the pet insurance. They may also look for how much the insurance covers and what they may pay out of pocket. “When purchasing any pet insurance plan, the most important consideration must be the long term health and wellbeing of your pet… Take a close look at the costs of each plan, and weigh these costs against the benefits of each plan” (Puplife.com).
On February 27, 1992 Stella Liebeck of New Mexico went to purchase coffee from Mc. Donald in her grandson’s car. Liebeck’s grandson then parked the car to give her an opportunity to put her cream into her coffee. The car transporting her at the time, had no cup holder so she improvised and placed the cup between her legs. During that process Liebeck spilled all of her coffee and was rushed to the hospital, because the coffee burn through the pants that she was wearing. Upon arriving at the hospital she was informed by the doctors that she suffered third degree on six percent of her skin. Liebeck suffered tremendously as a result of the burn. She was hospitalized for eight days and had to undergo surgery. Apart from that she was somewhat disabled for two years. Liebeck made attempts to settle with McDonald, she wanted them to be accountable for the injury she suffered. She wanted them to pay for the incurred expenses as well as the expense she anticipated in the future. McDonald on the other hand agreed to pay $800.00 but Liebeck was asking for $20.000. This case wasn’t settled using ADR methods so it became a trial (Wiki, n.d).
Appearing in just about every cartoon, television show, or feature length film, families are portrayed as having one father, one mother, a son and daughter, and of course, a furry little four-legged friend with a lighthearted name. These creatures often play important roles in the dynamics of the family, ranging from the comedic relief to the source of comfort. Whatever size, shape, or species they are, modern society has awarded household pets the title of being a designated family member.
One solution for this problem is to put these pets for adoption. Pet Adoption is the process of taking responsibility for a pet that a previous owner has abandoned or released to a shelter or rescue organization. Adoptable pets can be found in animal shelters and rescue organizations. Some organizations give adopters ownership of the pet, while others use a guardianship model wherein the organization retains some control over the animal's future use or care. The pets are adopted out at a relatively low cost, reflecting the fact that the animal shelter is non-profit. Adopters are screened (as they are from reputable breeders too), and go through a process of qualifying. Adoption contracts generally require the pet to be returned to the shelter if the adoptive owner cannot keep
I will be presenting to you what type of class pet i think the first graders should have and love. Everyone’s always wanted a pet before, so, why not just get one for your classroom? It would make class so much more fun and want the children to go to school more to see the class pet! But, it won’t distract the class too much.
In addition, I strongly agree that bringing dogs to work will distract pet owners and other employees from doing their job. In my life senario, other employees would be leaving the cook line or waiting their
