Our Favourite Winter Accessories for Pets

Winter can be a dark, dull month so why not brighten it up with some new accessories?! It's important to keep our dogs warm in the cold weather, especially if you have a toy dog or short/fine haired breed. If you’re looking for a new dog walking set or snuggly dog coat for your pup, look no further! We’ve picked out some of our favourite items that are just perfect for the cold weather…   Ruffwear Dog Coats & Accessories If you’re looking for the most practical outdoor dog accessories then Ruffwear is the go-to brand. Ruffwear design dog products to be used in all kinds of conditions, from the hottest to the coldest. We love their range of winter dog coats, especially as they have a plethora of walking accessories, including collars, leads and harnesses, to match!   Mutts & Hounds Dog Coats & Accessories We love the stylish tweed dog coats by Mutts & Hounds. Fashion and function collide to make coats and accessories that work for everyday. We are particularly in love with the wax jackets - now our pup will coordinate with us in our Barbour jackets; and the dog bow ties are adorable for indoor and outdoor wear!     House of Paws Dog Jumpers If you have a toy or fine haired breed, keeping them warm in Winter is really important. The cable knit jumpers from House of Paws ar ideal for the Winter. They come in a range of sizes and colours to suit a variety of breeds.   Feline Favourites from the Cat Emporium We don't need to clothe our cats like our canine companions, but there are some items that you might like to invest in to make your cat more comfortable and keep them active indoors during the coldest months. We have some gorgeous plush beds that will offer your cats the cosiest nights sleep as well as some toys that will keep them occupied when the adverse weather stops them getting outside.   Cosmopolitan Cat Beds A recent addition to our range of cat beds and the sister design to our popular Cosmopolitan Dog fabric, Cosmopolitan Cat is a silhouette print featuring various breed including a Ragdoll cat, British Shorthair and black cat. Available in a super squishy donut bed with cosy sherpa fleece top or the snuggle bed; the same donut shape with an added blanket layer of sherpa so your furry companion can snuggle under the covers!       Luxury Velvet Cat Beds and Matching Blankets Our luxury velvet beds for cats are perfect for the colder months. The super soft, plush velvet is perfect for snuggling down into when the temperature drops. Available in three beautiful colours that will look gorgeous in any room!   Cat Toys A bored cat can become anxious and unsettled, so combat that with plenty of toys! If you have an outdoor cat, you may find they don't want to go out as much or you may want to keep them indoors in adverse weather during the Winter. Providing them with plenty of stimulation at times like this is most important. Here are a few toys we really like that will help keep them active when they can't get outside.  Catnip toys such as the KONG Patchwork Teddy Jollly Moggy Catnip Mice are ideal for cats; the catnip will entice and keep them coming back for more, and they can bat the toy around and chase to their heart's content! These are great for you to join in the fun. You can throw them around and watch your cat play The KONG window teaser has all the same benefits of the previous two, but as sticks on the wall, your cat can go back and forth and play on its own. How adorable is the feathered bird. Your cat will never get bored of stalling out his feathered prey! Below is a collection of our Catit Senses 2.0 toys. These really are the ultimate in feline entertainment. The items are all designed to work alone or together as in the picture to create a mini playground for your cat. Each piece is designed to appeal to one of your cat's very unique senses - when put together your cat will find a myriad of things to do to sate all of their desires: scratch, massage, stretch, play, hunt, eat... they will find all of that and more in a world of Catit Senses!​ These are just a few of our favourite winter things for cats and dogs. Explore our collections online and you'll find all sorts of goodies that your pets will love.  If you have any questions about anything in this article, do get in touch; we're always happy to help with any queries.

Create a Cosy Valentine’s Day Retreat Set the scene for a cat-themed Valentine’s celebration by transforming your home into the ultimate cosy haven. Cats love comfort, so why not treat them to a luxurious cat bed or a plush cat tree where they can relax in style? Dim the lights, put on some soft music, and snuggle up together under a blanket. If your cat enjoys cuddles, this is the perfect opportunity to show them some love. If they prefer their own space, a warm and inviting cat bed will be their perfect Valentine’s Day gift! Top Tip: Lords & Labradors offers a range of cosy cat beds and sturdy cat trees that will make your kitty feel like royalty this Valentine’s Day. 2. Have a Fancy Valentine’s Day Feast Food is one of the best ways to a cat’s heart, so why not prepare a special Valentine’s Day meal for your feline friend? Treat them to their favourite cat food or get creative with some homemade cat treats (just be sure all ingredients are cat-safe). Pair this with some fresh water in a stylish dish, and voila—your cat has their very own Valentine’s feast! To make the meal extra special, present it in a whisker-friendly bowl so they can enjoy every bite without discomfort. Fun Idea: Why not set up a little "dinner date" with your cat? Serve their meal next to yours, and enjoy the evening together—it’s a surefire way to make them feel included in the Valentine’s Day fun! 3. Play and Bond With Valentine’s Day-Themed Toys Valentine’s Day isn’t complete without a little fun! Keep your cat entertained with themed cat toys, like heart-shaped plushies or interactive teaser wands. Engaging in playtime is a great way to strengthen your bond and keep your cat active. If your feline friend enjoys chasing things, try tossing around some catnip toys or a small Valentine’s Day-colored ball. Interactive Play Ideas:
Hide treats in a puzzle toy for a fun challenge
Dangle a feather wand to get them leaping in excitement
Use a laser pointer to let them “chase the love” around the room Not only does playtime help burn off energy, but it also reduces stress and keeps your cat mentally stimulated—perfect for a happy Valentine’s Day! Explore our range of fun cat toys to find something that will tickle your cat’s fancy this Valentines. 4. Have a Valentine’s Day Cat Spa Session If your cat enjoys gentle grooming, a relaxing spa session can be a wonderful way to pamper them on Valentine’s Day. Brushing their fur helps reduce shedding, improve circulation, and prevent matting, all while giving them the attention they love. Set up a calm, stress-free environment and use a soft brush suited for your cat’s coat type. Some cats even enjoy a gentle massage—just be sure to read their body language and stop if they seem uninterested. 5. Shower Them With Love (and Treats!) Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a little indulgence! While chocolate is off-limits for cats, cat treats are a great way to show your love. Whether your kitty prefers crunchy biscuits, soft meaty treats, or a little bit of catnip, giving them a tasty snack is a great way to make them feel special. We especially love The Innocent Cat Chicken and Duck Slices with Catnip for a tasty treat that even the fussiest of felines enjoy. Don’t forget to capture some adorable moments—snap a cute Valentine’s Day photo of your cat enjoying their treats or lounging in their cosy spot. After all, celebrating cats on Valentine’s Day means making memories you can cherish forever!
