    Best Dog Treats To Keep Them Busy

    As dog owners, we know that keeping our furry friends occupied and engaged is essential for their mental stimulation and overall well-being. One of the most effective ways to keep dogs entertained and mentally stimulated is through the use of treats and toys designed specifically to captivate their attention. Whether you have an energetic puppy or an adult dog with a penchant for play, finding the right treats and toys can make a world of difference. Best Dog Treats to Keep Them Busy: Finding the Perfect Fit When it comes to choosing the best treats to keep dogs busy, it's crucial to consider their preferences, age, size, and chewing habits. Not all treats or toys are suitable for every dog, so here’s a breakdown of the top options: 1. Treat Dispensing Toys Treat-dispensing toys are a fantastic way to keep your dog engaged for extended periods. Products like KONG Classic or KONG wobbler can be filled with treats, offering mental stimulation as they work to retrieve the hidden goodies. 2. Long-Lasting Chews For dogs with powerful jaws or an insatiable urge to chew, long-lasting chews like natural treats, yak cheese chews, or antlers can be a great choice. These treats not only keep them occupied but also help in maintaining dental health. Be careful when choosing a long-lasting dog chew to check that it doesn’t contain rawhide, commonly used in a lot of long-lasting dog chews rawhide is actually really difficult for your dog’s stomach to breakdown and can cause all sorts issues. A great alternative to rawhide is the Earth Animal No Hide chews, they come in a range of flavours and are long-lasting so are perfect for keeping your pup busy. 3. Puzzle Treat Toys Puzzle toys, such as the Nina Ottosson interactive puzzles or Smart Choice S Shaped Puzzle, challenge dogs to solve puzzles to access treats. These toys provide mental stimulation, preventing boredom and promoting problem-solving skills. 4. Frozen Treats During warmer months, frozen treats like frozen bananas or ice cubes made with chicken broth can offer a refreshing way to keep your pup entertained and cool. You can even try freezing some wet food in their KONG classic as a fun way to give your dog their food whilst keeping them busy. Best Chew Toys and Treats for Puppies Puppies, with their boundless energy and curiosity, require specific treats and toys to keep them occupied: 1. Puppy-Safe Chew Toys Opt for durable and safe chew toys specifically designed for puppies. Toys such as the KONG Puppy Teething Stick or the Tuffs Puppy Pastel Fetch & Chew Bar are excellent choices for keeping teething puppies busy as they cater to teething puppies' needs. 2. Soft Treats for Training Soft, small treats are ideal for training purposes with puppies. Treats like The Innocent Hound Puppy Training Treats can be used during training sessions to keep them engaged and motivated. For something longer lasting for your pup why not try some natural treats to keep them busy? Choosing the right treats and toys for your furry companion can significantly impact their mental and physical well-being. Experimenting with different options and observing your dog's preferences will help you discover the best treats and toys to keep them entertained and engaged for hours. Remember, supervision is crucial, especially with new toys or treats, to ensure they are safe and suitable for your dog's individual needs. By investing in the best dog treats and toys that keep them busy, you’re not only providing entertainment but also contributing to their overall happiness and health. Whether it's a puzzle toy to challenge their mind or a long-lasting chew to satisfy their natural instincts, the best treats and toys are those that bring joy and keep tails wagging.

    How to Wash Dog Blankets Without a Washing Machine

    We all know how much our furry companions love their cosy blankets. However, keeping these items clean can be a bit challenging, especially if you don't have access to a washing machine. But fear not, for in this guide, we will share expert tips on how to clean your dog's blankets effectively without the use of a washing machine. Say goodbye to stubborn pet odours and dirt! 1. Gather Your Supplies Before diving into the cleaning process, it's essential to gather all the necessary supplies. Here's what you'll need: Mild Detergent: Opt for a gentle, pet-safe detergent to avoid any skin irritations. Bathtub or Large Basin: You'll need a spacious container to soak and rinse the dog blankets and bed cover. Vacuum: A vacuum is great for helping you to remove any debris from your pet's blanket, we'd recommend using an upholstery attachment if you have one! Scrub Brush: A soft-bristle brush will help you remove dirt and pet hair effectively. Towels: Have some clean towels on hand for drying the items after washing. Sunlight: Natural sunlight acts as a powerful disinfectant and helps eliminate odours. 2. Shake and Vacuum Start by taking your dog's blankets outdoors, if possible. Shake and brush to remove loose dirt, fur, and debris. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to ensure a thorough cleaning. 3. Pre-Treat Stains Inspect the blankets for any stubborn stains or odorous spots. Apply a small amount of mild detergent directly to these areas and gently scrub with a brush. Allow the detergent to sit for a few minutes to penetrate the stains. 4. Soak in a Bathtub Fill your bathtub or a large basin with lukewarm water. Add a small amount of pet-safe detergent and agitate the water to create suds. Submerge the blankets ensuring they are fully soaked. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes to loosen dirt and odours. 5. Hand Washing After soaking, use your hands to gently agitate the blankets in the soapy water. Pay extra attention to stained areas and spots with lingering odours. Continue this process for a few minutes. 6. Rinse Thoroughly Drain the soapy water and refill the bathtub with clean, lukewarm water. Rinse the blankets thoroughly, ensuring no detergent residue remains. You may need to repeat this step a few times until the water runs clear. 7. Squeeze Excess Water Carefully squeeze out excess water from the blankets. Avoid wringing them, as this can damage the fabric and distort their shape. 8. Drying in the Sun Place the wet items outside in direct sunlight to dry. Sunlight is not only a natural disinfectant but also an excellent deodoriser. Allow the blankets to dry completely. This may take several hours, so be patient. 9. Fluff and Fold Once your dog's blankets are completely dry, fluff them up by shaking and gently patting. Fold them neatly and place them back in your pet's favourite spot.Cleaning your dog's blankets without a washing machine may require a bit of extra effort, but it's entirely doable with the right approach. By following these expert tips and using pet-safe products, you can ensure your furry friend enjoys a fresh and clean resting place. Regular maintenance and cleaning will not only keep your dog happy but also contribute to a healthier living environment for both of you.

  • Is Wet or Dry Food Better for Dogs? Exploring the Pros and Cons

    Is Wet or Dry Food Better for Dogs? Exploring the Pros and Cons

    When it comes to feeding our canine companions, one of the most common questions that pet owners grapple with is whether to choose wet or dry dog food. The debate over wet vs. dry dog food has been ongoing for years, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. The decision ultimately depends on various factors, including your dog's age, health, and personal preferences. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the pros and cons of wet and dry dog food to help you make an informed choice for your furry friend.   Wet vs. Dry Dog Food: What's the Difference? Before we dive into the pros and cons, let's clarify what distinguishes wet and dry dog food: Wet Dog Food: Contains higher moisture content (approximately 70-80%) Typically comes in cans or pouches Often has a stronger aroma and flavour, which can be enticing to picky eaters Easier to chew, making it an excellent choice for dogs with dental issues or missing teeth Prone to spoilage if not refrigerated and consumed promptly Can be more expensive per serving than dry food Dry Dog Food: Contains lower moisture content (around 10%) Comes in the form of kibble or pellets Promotes dental health by reducing tartar buildup through chewing Offers convenience and a longer shelf life May contain artificial preservatives and fillers The Pros and Cons Of Wet & Dry Food Wet Dog Food: Pros: Hydration: The high moisture content in wet food can help keep your dog hydrated, especially if they don't drink enough water. Palatability: Many dogs find wet food more appealing due to its strong aroma and taste, making it suitable for picky eaters. Digestibility: Wet food is often easier to digest, making it a good choice for dogs with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues. Dental Health: While wet food doesn't promote dental health directly, it can be useful for dogs with dental problems who struggle to chew dry kibble. Cons: Cost: Wet dog food can be more expensive per serving than dry food, potentially straining your budget. Storage: You need to store opened cans or pouches of wet food in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Our Wet Food Recommendations Here at L&L we stock a wide variety of wet foods for your dog. For a high quality and high meat content wet food our go to is the Carnilove wet foods. They're all made to appeal to your dog's natural wolf instincts with over 85% wild origin meats and they're all grain free so you can be sure they're the best quality for your dog. Dry Dog Food: Pros: Convenience: Dry kibble is convenient to store, measure, and serve, making it a hassle-free option. Dental Health: Chewing on dry kibble can help reduce tartar buildup and promote better dental health. Cost-Effective: Dry food is often more budget-friendly than wet food, especially for larger dogs. Long Shelf Life: It has a longer shelf life, reducing the risk of food waste.  Cons: Hydration Concerns: Because dry food has lower moisture content, it might not provide enough hydration for some dogs, potentially leading to urinary tract issues. Palatability: Some dogs may be less enthusiastic about dry kibble's taste and texture. Our Dry Food Recommendations We also stock a variety of dry foods, some of the ones with higher meat content and more natural ingredients include Acana, Carnilove and Orijen - these are great for making sure your dog is getting all the nutrients they need.  Choosing the Right Food for Your Dog: When deciding between wet and dry dog food, consider the following factors: Age: Puppies and senior dogs may benefit from wet food due to its enhanced digestibility and hydration. Adult dogs can thrive on a balanced dry food diet. Health Needs: Consult with your veterinarian if your dog has specific health concerns, as they can recommend an appropriate diet. Budget: Evaluate your budget and choose the food that meets your financial constraints while ensuring your dog's nutritional needs are met. Preference: Some dogs have strong preferences for one type of food over the other, so consider your dog's taste preferences. Conclusion: In the debate of wet vs. dry dog food, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Both options have their pros and cons, and the best choice depends on your dog's individual needs, your budget, and your personal preferences as a pet owner. If you're unsure what to feed your dog why not check out our large range of dog foods.

  • Do Cats Have A Favourite Toy

    Do Cats Have A Favourite Toy

    Cats, those enigmatic and captivating companions, are known for their unique behaviours and intriguing preferences. One common question among cat owners is whether these beloved furballs have a favourite toy. As cat enthusiasts, it's natural for us to want to provide the best entertainment for our feline friends. In this article, we delve into the intriguing world of cat play, exploring whether cats have favourite toys and the factors that influence their preferences. The Feline Fascination with Toys Cats, as both domesticated and instinct-driven creatures, exhibit a wide range of behaviours that reflect their ancestral hunting instincts. Play, for a cat, serves as a means of honing skills that were once crucial for survival. Additionally, playtime offers exercise, mental stimulation, and a channel for releasing pent-up energy. Cat toys, therefore, play a pivotal role in keeping our feline friends engaged and happy. Do Cats Have a Favorite Toy? The question of whether cats have favourite toys has been a topic of curiosity and debate among pet owners and experts alike. While cats don't express preferences in the same way humans do, they can certainly show a preference for certain types of toys based on their individual personalities, play styles, and past experiences.   Factors Influencing Toy Preferences Texture and Material: Cats have sensitive paws and mouths, so the texture and material of a toy can greatly influence their interest. Some cats may prefer soft, plush toys, while others might be drawn to toys with feathers, strings, or crinkly materials. Movement and Sound: Cats are natural hunters, and toys that mimic the movements and sounds of prey can be particularly enticing. Toys that dart, bounce, or make rustling noises can capture a cat's attention and keep them engaged. Size and Shape: Cats may have preferences for certain sizes and shapes of toys. Some cats enjoy smaller toys they can easily bat around, while others may prefer larger toys they can wrestle with. Interactive vs. Solo Play: Cats vary in their desire for interactive play with their human companions versus independent play. Toys that can be played with independently, such as puzzle feeders or automated toys, can become favourites for some cats, whereas others will love toys that require their owner to play with them as the bonding time has created a positive association for your cat with that particular toy. Scent: Cats have a keen sense of smell, and toys infused with catnip or other enticing scents can hold their interest. The Best Types of Cat Toys When considering the best types of cat toys, it's important to keep in mind the various factors that influence a cat's play preferences. Some popular types of cat toys include: Interactive Toys: Toys that require the cat to engage with them actively can be rewarding. These can include feather wands, laser pointers, and puzzle feeders. We love the Catit Senses range of interactive toys, they provide hours of stimulating fun. Chase Toys: Toys that move quickly, mimicking the behaviour of prey, often capture a cat's attention. Battery-operated toys that zip around the room can provide hours of entertainment. The Petlibro Pixie Mouse Interactive Cat toy is a great toy for chasing if you have a prey driven cat. Soft Plush Toys: These toys are comforting for some cats, providing a "cuddle buddy" experience that satisfies their nurturing instincts. We love the KONG Enchanted Characters Unicorn for cats who love to snuggle, it’s the perfect size and it’s a unicorn - what more could your cat wish for? Catnip Toys: Catnip can induce euphoric reactions in many cats. Toys filled with catnip can become favoured items for playful interactions. The GiGwi range has loads of catnip toys in which our office felines go crazy for. Why Does My Cat Have a Favourite Toy? A cat's attachment to a particular toy can be attributed to a combination of their individual preferences, their unique personalities, and positive associations formed with that toy. Cats may associate their favourite toy with play, comfort, or even previous positive interactions with their owners. In conclusion, while cats may not express preferences in the same way humans do, they can undoubtedly have favourite types of toys. Understanding your cat's play style, observing their reactions to different toys, and providing a variety of options can help ensure their playtime is both stimulating and enjoyable. After all, a happy and entertained cat contributes to a harmonious and joyful household. So, if you're wondering whether your cat has a favourite toy, the answer lies in their playful behaviours, unique traits, and the careful selection of toys that cater to their individual tastes.
