Going out for walks can be the most exciting part of your dog’s day, but when he constantly pulls on the lead it can turn a fun walk into a tiring one very quickly. Firstly, we might wonder why dogs pull on the lead? They do so because it is normal canine behavior. Is it worthwhile? No, but it is a natural instinct for them.

Our dogs are spending more time indoors, partly due to the hot weather, partly due to the ‘new normal’ we are all living in, which in the most part means we don’t go out as much. Plus, this time at home has influenced many to get a new pup. As a result, we are getting an influx of customers asking for advice on toilet training.

As we are now weeks into social distancing, most of us are looking into ways to stay fit at home. But we should keep in mind that we humans aren’t the only ones who need exercise. Keeping your dog physically and mentally fit will save him from getting bored and letting out energy in destructive ways like excessive barking, chewing, or digging. If you normally take your dog out on long walks, you might be confused on ways to keep your pup stimulated while you’re stuck indoors.

The holiday season is upon us. It’s an exciting and magical time of year but with the decorations, the food and all the strange visitors it can sadly be stressful and dangerous for your beloved pooch.

If you follow us on social media, you'll see we regularly post facts about pets that are either handy to know, or give us a bit of a laugh!

The summer months can be really tough on our dogs, with overwhelming heat often leaving them struggling to cool down.
