It’s All In The Routine: Helping your dog deal with boredom is essential for a happy home life. Tweaking and changing your dog’s daily routine regularly encourages your dog to look forward to the day and exercises your dog’s mind. This encourages mental stimulation and stops boredom.
Summer is just around the corner! So what better way to celebrate than heading to the hair salon for a fresh new hairdo. The same applies to your beloved pooch! That’s right; we’re here to discuss your dog’s next groom and what you need to think about during the warmer months.  I managed to pin down Aoife the Head Groomer at Dec’s Pets to help answer some questions and give us the low down on all things grooming.
We often see our pets scratching their coats, which, in many cases, can be completely normal. The trick is knowing when to escalate this matter and seek assistance.

Dog toys, are they a waste of money, or a life saver? Read more to learn about our 5 favourite dog toys and why you need to add them to your shopping cart pronto! Boredom encourages bad behaviour; loneliness encourages separation anxiety; combine that with an instinctive intuition to chew and tear and you are left with a troublesome combination (& possibly some unfortunate looking furniture)
After what feels like months (or maybe years of planning) it is finally time to pick up your newest and cutest, member of the family. But, what do you actually need for their arrival? You go onto the internet & are immediately bombarded with an overwhelming amount of products and content regarding what food to buy, what toys they need, which is the comfiest bed, how will I train them, where will they sleep. So, what is a puppy starter kit and are really all they’re cracked up to be?
Yes! You heard us correctly; ‘Barkuterie’ boards are the latest craze in indulgent dog treats! Most you will have heard (and drooled) over the much loved Charcuterie boards, which are on the menu at almost all trendy restaurants (pre COVID-19) But the question I pose is, what is a Barkuterie board? Well, the clue is in the name; a Charcuterie board for your beloved 4 legged friend. Because, why should they miss out on all of the fun?
Who would believe it that it’s just as important for your dog to have clean, healthy teeth as it is for you? Well it is. Just like humans, dogs experience plaque build-up on their teeth. Plaque will turn into tartar, which eventually leads to inflamed gums, causing gum disease. Gum disease can then turn into Canine Periodontitis, which is a bacterial infection of the mouth, which may involve bone and/or tooth loss. So here are some tips to keep your dog’s teeth clean and healthy.
There will be plenty to do and to think about before buying a puppy. There are some key things you can do before your newest arrival. So here are a few tips to get organised ahead of time
The journey begins with trusted farms and fisheries which provide only the finest quality fresh meats and fish.
