Here at Dec's Pets we believe knowledge is power; which is why we are giving you access to our team of experts. Check below for an inside view on what's happening at Dec's Pets, pet care tips, global trends and fun facts we want to shout about.
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.
We said we had something exciting in store & 'crunch' time has finally arrived. Dec's Pets is thrilled to introduce (to you & your hungry pups) our doggy pick ‘n’ mix station.
Most of our Wexford customers will know the Dec’s Pets dog grooming team very well by now. However, for the benefit of those of you who are further afield, we wanted to make a virtual introduction.
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. The simple answer, is that it is usually pretty obvious. Excessive scratching and digestive issues (vomiting or diarrhea) are two of the most common signs that your pet is suffering from an allergy.
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?
Rudie Cat, The International Traveller, When my husband, daughter and I made the decision to move closer to family due to COVID-19, it was without question that our cat Rudie would be making the journey from Bondi Beach (Australia) to Wexford with us.
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?
Many of our customers often ask; What do wild birds eat? Which foods are staple items? Are there certain foods to avoid? So we want to share our thoughts on the subject.
Amanda, alike many of our customers, popped into our Wexford based store one morning asking for some advice. Her cat Pickles was refusing to eat her food. Amanda explained to us that no matter what she bought, Pickles would turn her nose up, and outright refuse to eat. So, what really is the best cat food to feed a fussy pet?
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.
When it came to finalising our website and thinking of how we are going to package your items, we had to get our heads around how we felt about this, whilst trying our best to be as sustainable as possible on a budget.
