The Best Squeaky Dog Toys

​Dog toys come in all shapes, sizes and materials for different kinds of play. Some are for throwing and games of fetch; some are for chewing; and others for cuddling.

Here we take a look at some of the best toys for dogs with squeakers so you can add some multi-sensory play to your dog’s toy box.   Dog Chew Toys with Squeakers Does your dog like to chew?

    How To Get Your Dog To Calm Down For Bed

    Ensuring a peaceful bedtime routine for your furry friend is essential for both you and your dog's well-being. If you're struggling with an overexcited pup that won't settle down at bedtime, fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore expert tips on how to get your dog, whether a seasoned pet or a playful puppy, to calm down for bed. With patience, consistency, and the right techniques, you can transform restless nights into serene slumber for you and your four-legged companion.   Establish a Consistent Routine Dogs thrive on routine. Establishing a regular bedtime routine can help signal to your dog that it's time to wind down. Consistency is key, so try to feed, walk, and go through your evening activities at the same time each night. A predictable routine can create a sense of security, making it easier for your dog to calm down before bed.   Physical Exercise and Mental Stimulation A tired dog is a calm dog. Make sure your dog gets plenty of physical exercise during the day, whether through vigorous walks, playtime at the park, or fetch sessions in the garden. Mental stimulation is just as important, so consider puzzle toys, obedience training, or interactive games to tire your dog's mind. We love the Nina Ottson interactive toys, they're great for keeping your dog's brain busy whilst wearing them out.    Create a Relaxing Environment Make your dog's sleeping area as comfortable as possible. A cosy bed with familiar blankets and toys can provide a sense of security. Consider calming scents like lavender, which can help promote relaxation or a calming diffuser whilst you get your dog into a good sleep pattern. Dim the lights and keep the noise level down to create a serene atmosphere.   Wind Down with Calm Interactions In the hour leading up to bedtime, engage in calm interactions with your dog. Avoid giving your dog stimulating treats, play, or attention right before bedtime. Gradually reduce the intensity of activities leading up to bedtime. Petting, gentle massages, and soft-spoken words can help your dog relax.   Limit Food and Water Before Bed To prevent midnight bathroom trips, avoid feeding your dog a large meal or providing access to water right before bedtime. Gradually decrease food and water intake in the hours leading up to sleep.   Bathroom Breaks Before bedtime, take your dog out for a bathroom break. Ensure they've had ample time to relieve themselves, reducing the likelihood of interruptions during the night.   Consider Crate Training If your dog is still having trouble settling down, consider crate training. A crate can create a cosy, den-like space where your dog feels secure. Gradually introduce your dog to the crate and make it a positive experience with treats and comforting items. Our crate sets are perfect for creating a cosy den. The cushions have a deep hollow fibre filling which is perfect for snuggling up on, the bumper adds a padded wall round the edge of the crate for your dog to rest their head on, and finally the cover blocks out light which will help send your pup to sleep!   Stay Calm and Patient Dogs are sensitive to their owner's emotions. Stay calm and patient when helping your dog calm down for bed. Avoid scolding or showing frustration if they are restless. Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance go a long way. Consult a Professional If your dog's bedtime restlessness persists despite your best efforts, consult a professional dog trainer or a veterinarian. There may be underlying behavioural or health issues that need to be addressed. Getting your dog, whether a puppy or an adult, to calm down for bed requires a combination of consistency, patience, and the right techniques. By establishing a bedtime routine, providing physical and mental stimulation, creating a relaxing environment, and using calming interactions, you can help your furry friend enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Remember, every dog is unique, so be adaptable and consult a professional if needed to ensure your dog's bedtime routine is as calm and restful as possible. Sweet dreams to both you and your beloved canine companion!

    Crate Training vs Sleeping In A Dog Bed

    As a new dog owner, deciding whether to crate train your pup or provide them with a cosy dog bed can be a tough choice. Both options have their pros and cons, and finding the right fit for you and your furry friend is essential. In this article, we'll explore the advantages and disadvantages of both sleeping arrangements and offer tips on transitioning from a crate to a bed. So, let's dive in!   Crate Training Your Pup Crate training is an excellent way to help your puppy settle into their new home. It offers a safe den-like space where they can enjoy some quiet time, take a nap, or chew on their favourite toy.   Advantages Of Using A Crate: Provides a safe space for your dog. Assists in toilet training and managing separation anxiety. Keeps them safe from potential dangers. Harder for your dog to destroy compared to a dog bed. Great for travel, whether in the car or unfamiliar environments. Disadvantages of Crate Training: Improper training may lead to fear or negative associations with the crate. Crates can be large, and not every home has enough space. Some dogs may find them less cosy compared to a dog bed.   Dog Crate Sets At Lords & Labradors, we've designed crate bedding to create the ultimate cosy den for your dog. Our crate sets consist of four parts: The Dog Crate: With a variety of 5 sizes available, our crates are guaranteed to offer the perfect fit. Boasting thicker bars and a metal tray, they are more durable than standard dog crates. Crate Cushion: A super plump cushion with deep hollow fibre filling, perfect for comfort. Most of our crate cushions also have removable covers, making for easy washing. They can also be used as a standalone bed, making them perfect for travel. Crate Bumper: Padded bumpers that line the inside of the crate, offering a comfortable resting spot for your dog's head. Crate Cover: The last item in our crate sets is our crate covers. These fit over the crate and really help to transform it from being an unsightly dog crate to being part of your home. They're also great for helping to make the crate extra cosy and settling your dog in to a routine by establishing when it's time to sleep. Crate Training Tips To make crate training a positive experience, take it slow and reward your puppy every time they enter the crate. You can even feed them meals in there to help them get used to it. Remember, never use the crate as punishment. For more tips and tricks, check out our comprehensive crate training guide written by our pet experts.   Using a Dog Bed Dog beds have their advantages too, offering more freedom for dogs that prefer snuggling and are easier to move around the house.  Advantages of Dog Beds: Gives your dog more freedom, suitable for certain personalities. Less bulky than a crate, making them easier to move around. Cosier and perfect for dogs that love to snuggle.   Disadvantages of Dog Beds: Dogs can roam around at night and potentially chew on things they shouldn't. Some dogs may chew and rip apart dog beds, meaning you have to replace them more frequently than a crate Choosing the Right Bed for Your Dog Consider your dog's sleeping preferences when selecting a bed. Whether they like to curl up or stretch out, we have a handy guide to help you choose the best bed for your furry companion.   How To Transition From A Dog Crate To A Dog Bed If you've crate-trained your puppy and want to transition to a bed, it requires patience and a gradual approach. Here's how: Leave the crate door unlocked and slightly open for a few nights, containing them in one room to avoid overwhelming freedom. Fully open the crate door at bedtime, allowing them to explore but still have the option to return to the crate if needed. Once your dog is comfortable, remove the crate and have them sleep on the cushion or mat they used in the crate. Later, you can switch to a new dog bed.   Remember, every dog is unique, and finding the right sleeping arrangement may require some trial and error. Check out our range of crate bedding and luxury dog beds to get a better idea of what will work best for you and your beloved pup. Happy sleeping!

  • How to Wash Dog Blankets Without a Washing Machine
    06.09.23 September 06, 2023 Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
