    How Often Should You Replace Your Dog’s Bed?

    Did you know dogs spend 12 to 14 hours a day sleeping? That's a lot of time in bed so it's no surprise that their bed might be looking a little worse for wear. Dogs are creatures of comfort so making sure they have a a clean and supportive bed is essential for their overall well-being. In this guide, our Pet Experts explore the signs that indicate it's time to change your dog's bed and share expert tips on how to care for your canine's cherished sleeping spot. How Often Should You Replace Your Dog’s Bed? Determining how often to replace your dog's bed depends on several factors including the quality of the bed, your dog's size and activity level, and any specific health considerations. As a general guideline, it's advisable to replace your dog's bed every 1 to 3 years, or sooner if signs of wear and tear become noticeable. Signs It's Time to Change Your Dog's Bed: Visible Wear and Tear: Over time, your dog's bed may start showing signs of wear and tear, such as flattened cushions, lumps, or torn fabric. If you notice any significant damage, it's a clear indication that it's time to consider a replacement. Lingering Odours: Despite regular cleaning, dog beds can accumulate odours over time, especially if your furry friend enjoys outdoor adventures or has accidents indoors. Lingering smells that persist even after washing could signal the need for a new bed. Loss of Support: Just like humans, dogs require proper support for their joints and muscles, especially as they age or if they have existing health conditions. If your dog's bed no longer provides adequate support or has become too soft, it's time to invest in a new one to ensure their comfort and well-being. It might be worth investing in an orthopaedic dog bed if your dog’s breed is prone to joint issues. Allergies and Skin Irritations: Dogs can develop allergies or skin irritations from prolonged exposure to dust mites, pet dander, or other allergens that accumulate in their beds over time. If you notice your dog scratching more than usual or experiencing skin issues, a new bed with hypoallergenic materials may offer relief. Preference for Alternative Sleeping Spots: Dogs are creatures of habit, and if you notice your furry friend opting for alternative sleeping spots around the house instead of their bed, it could indicate that they're no longer comfortable or satisfied with their current sleeping arrangements. It’s worth looking at how your dog likes to sleep so you can get the best bed shape to suit their sleeping style, our Information Hub has a guide on how to choose the perfect dog bed for your dog. Top Ways to Care for Your Dog's Bed: Regular Washing: Establish a routine for washing your dog's bed to remove dirt, hair, and odour-causing bacteria. Most of our Lords & Labradors dog beds are machine washable, we have a handy guide on how to wash your dog’s bed here. Use a Removable Cover: Opt for dog beds with removable, machine-washable covers for easy cleaning. Having a spare cover on hand allows you to swap them out while one is being laundered, ensuring your pup always has a fresh and clean place to sleep. We also sell bamboo bed covers which are great for popping over your dog’s bed to help keep them clean especially after a muddy dog walk, they will act as an additional layer of defence against moisture and stains, extending the life of the bed! Vacuum and Spot Clean: In between washings, use a handheld vacuum or lint roller to remove hair and debris from the surface of the bed. Spot clean any stains or spills promptly to prevent them from setting into the fabric. Rotate and Fluff: Just like flipping a mattress, periodically rotate your dog's bed to distribute wear evenly and prevent premature sagging. Fluffing the bed's filling helps maintain its loft and support over time. Sun and Air Dry: On sunny days, take advantage of natural sunlight by airing out your dog's bed outdoors. Sunlight helps eliminate odours and kills bacteria, leaving the bed feeling fresh and revitalised. Inspect Regularly: Take time to inspect your dog's bed for any signs of damage, loose seams, or worn-out stuffing. Promptly address any issues to prevent further deterioration and ensure your pup's safety and comfort. By recognising the signs that it's time to change your dog's bed and implementing proper care and maintenance techniques, you can provide your furry friend with a clean, comfortable, and supportive sleeping environment. Remember, a happy and well-rested pup makes for a happier pet parent too! If you’re looking to upgrade your dog’s bed why not check out our collection of luxury dog beds? Bedding is our speciality, we design and craft all of our bedding here in our Lincolnshire workshop so you can be sure your dog will be getting the best sleep possible in one of our luxury dog beds.

  • Dog Crate Sets & Crate Aftercare
    02.08.21 August 02, 2021 FAQs Featured

    Dog Crate Sets & Crate Aftercare

    Crate training is an important part of settling in a new puppy. A crate provides a safe, quiet space for your pup and will help them to get used to their nighttime routine and with toilet training. A dog crate can be made into a cosy den that will be loved by your new four-legged friend for a lifetime. In this article we will explain the best crate set-up for puppies, how to change the set-up as they grow up and also how to look after your crate and crate bedding.   How To Make The Perfect Crate Set-Up For A Puppy Crate training your puppy will have lots of advantages, helping them to settle and feel safe in their home as well getting them into a consistent bedtime routine. The perfect crate for a puppy will feel safe, warm and cosy. It’s important that it’s inviting so that they feel compelled to use it. With this in mind we’d suggest the following items:  Crate Cover [product]Crates in their basic form can be rather draughty and a little bit unsightly! A crate cover will not only make the crate look stylish, but it will make the crate feel cosy inside. Our crate covers feature roll down doors which can be lowered when it’s time for bed. Puppy will soon learn when they should be sleeping (doors rolled down) and when it’s time to get up (doors rolled up). Our crate covers come in a range of fabrics which have been designed to match your home and they're all machine washable, making them brilliant for puppies!    Cosy & Calming Puppy Crate Bed [product] Our cosy and calming beds have been designed with crate training in mind. Each size is made to fill exactly one half of the corresponding crate size. So if you have a small crate for a Chihuahua for example, the small bed will fit in exactly one half of the crate. This then leaves room for a puppy pad in the other half along with a  bowl for water. They come in a range of our printed cotton fabrics and feature a reversible cushion pad inside - one side covered in super plush sherpa!   Puppy Pads Whilst we don’t want to encourage puppies to pee in the crate, it’s also important to note that they can’t hold themselves for very long at all. Whilst you will be able to take them outside at regular intervals during the day, this may not be the case at night. When you put them to bed, putting a puppy pad in one half of the crate will help to stop any accidents from dirtying their bed or crate tray. Crate Bowls Puppies will need access to water at all times and a crate bowl is a brilliant accessory as it can be fastened to the crate walls. This will ensure it doesn’t get tipped over or knocked like a standard bowl might. The Perfect Crate Set-Up For An Adult Dog As your dog becomes toilet trained and they begin to need the full space of the crate for their bed, you will need to consider swapping out the puppy accessories for their proper adult bed. At Lords & Labradors we specialise in crate bedding that will make your dog’s den look stunning as well as super comfortable inside. Crate Cushion Our crate cushions are designed to fit our crates perfectly. They come in a range of fabulous fabric designs from luxurious tweeds to printed cottons. There really is something to suit every taste and home.   Crate Bumper Crate walls aren’t the most comfortable things to snuggle up to, and if your dog likes to curl in the corner of their bed, they will need something other than metal bars! That’s where our fabulous bumpers come in. They sit around the edge of the crate cushion and create a spongey layer of warmth around the walls. Perfect for snuggling up in the corner when nap time calls!   Crate Cover Our crate covers are perfect for setting a routine with your dog, when the doors are rolled down it will signal to them it's time to sleep. Our crate covers are fully lined to help keep light out and come in matching fabrics to our bumpers and cushions to you can be sure crate will look stylish!   Crate Set Aftercare and How To Clean A Crate With a little love and care your crate set will last a long time. Here we detail how to look after your crate set: The Crate - The crate is made of sturdy metal and is really easy to keep clean. Our crates are easy to wipe clean and the tray is removable so you can get into the corners properly.  It’s really important to make sure the crate is completely dry before setting back up and allowing your pet back in, we recommend drying your crate to avoid any rusting.  Lords & Labradors Cushion & Bumper Covers - For our bedding from our core collection you will be able to remove the covers on the cushions and bumpers. Turn the cover inside out and machine wash on a 20 degree gentle cycle. Allow the covers to air dry (do not tumble dry). Once dry return the inner cushion to the cover. Essentials Plush Collection Bumpers & Cushions - Our bumpers and cushions from the Essentials Plush Collection don't have removable covers, we recommend spot washing your essentials plush bumpers and cushions.  Lords & Labradors Crate Covers - Our crate covers are all machine washable on a 20 degree gentle cycle, apart from our oil cloth crate covers. After washing, we recommend air drying your crate cover over your crate to help keep it in shape and to make sure it doesn't shrink. A cool iron on the reverse of the cotton fabrics is fine if necessary, but often they won’t even need that. Our tweeds and Savanna fabrics are super fast drying and they will come out of the spin almost dry. Just give them an air and they’ll be ready to use again in no time at all! Cushion and bumper inners - The cushion and bumper inners are protected by waterproof interlinings, so won’t need washing. This will preserve the inner fillings. The waterproof liners are wipe clean. If they become soiled, simply wipe down with a mild pet-safe detergent and they’ll be as good as new again. Cosy and Calm Puppy Bed - Our puppy beds are fully machine washable. You can put the whole bed in the machine and wash on a 20° cycle. When removed, simply shake and plump the cushion back into shape and leave to air dry. Follow these simple steps and your crate sets will last and look stunning for years to come!

    How To Travel With A Dog In A Car

    We’re getting to that time of year again where we’re travelling more with our pets to the beach, staycations and even trips to a different location for a long walk. No matter how long the journey - even if it’s a trip to the local vets - you should ensure your dog is properly restrained and safe to travel. Here in the UK it’s the law when travelling by car your dog needs to be restrained. In this blog, we breakdown how to travel safely with your pet.   What Is The Law With Dogs In Cars? The Highway Code states in their Rules about Animals, when in a vehicle, dogs are to be suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you’re driving or injure you, or themselves, if you should need to stop quickly. If you were in an accident caused by your dog distracting you whilst you were driving, this could be considered as ‘dangerous driving’. It’s also good to check your insurance policy, as car insurance providers may require you to restrain your pet.   Is It The Law To Restrain A Dog In A Car? It is the law to restrain your dog when travelling in your car. So as fun as it is for your pooch to sit with their head out of the window, they must be suitably restrained so they cannot distract you and potentially hurt either you or themselves. When it comes to where your dog should be when travelling, although there are no laws against your dog travelling in the footwell of the car, unfortunately they would not be properly restrained and if you did have an accident, you may be prosecuted for ‘dangerous driving’. When choosing where your dog should be properly restrained, no matter what method you choose, your dog should not sit in the front seat - securing them in the boot or back seat behind a front seat is considered a safer option.   How To Secure A Dog In The Car There are many safety products you can choose from, which can help with travelling safely in the car. It’s most important you choose a solution that’s suitable and comfortable for your pooch, and it has been installed and executed correctly to ensure the safety of your pet. Here at Lords & Labradors, we’d recommend the following for safe travel.   Dog Carriers Our pet carriers come in different sizes and weights which will vary for the suitability for you and your dog. It’s a lighter option to our metal crates and are easily packed away if you’re staying away from home. Carriers are great when travelling by car and when taking your dog from the car into a safe place to let them out and stretch  their legs. They keep your pooch safe and settled whilst travelling.   Travel Harnesses Our pet-friendly harnesses come in a variety of sizes, suitable to your dogs breed and size. Travel harnesses are easy to fit onto your dog and it’s quick to clip them into place. They’re specially designed to prevent your dog from moving around whilst in the car, all whilst keeping your pet safe and comfortably restrained.   Travel Crates Crating your dog keeps them safe & secure - using a crate to transport your pet has the added benefit if they’re already used to being crated at home. If your dog is used to being crated, often when travelling they’ll feel safer and their surroundings will reduce any anxiety your dog may have around travelling.   How Long Can A Dog Travel In A Car Being stuck in the car can be hard for your dog! Not only will your dog need regular toilet breaks, they’ll also need to stretch their legs and get some of their energy out. When stopping for your dog to toilet and stretch their legs, you could also give them some food and water to avoid any spillages whilst travelling. Ideally you should try to keep to your dogs routine where possible (even when travelling) - every 2 to 4 hours for about 15 to 30 minutes is a good guide to follow, however you’ll know what is best for your dog and how they travel. If you’re planning a lengthy trip, try to go on few shorter journeys to see how your dog is likely to react.

  • The Top 10 Puppy Essentials
    13.01.23 January 13, 2023 Getting A Puppy Featured

    The Top 10 Puppy Essentials

    You may be preparing for the all important ‘Gotcha Day’, the day celebrated by all dog parents as the day you brought your pup home. Taking your puppy home for the first time is exciting, especially if you have prepared for their arrival. Puppy shopping can be so much fun, but also overwhelming if you’re a new pet parent, or if you’ve not had a puppy for a few years. There will be some things you do need to buy for necessity and some things that are worth buying for your new pup. Here at Lords & Labradors we’ve put together the 10 puppy essentials you’ll need to get your new puppy settled.   Our Top 10 Items To Buy For Your New Puppy 1) What crate to buy? Firstly, if you’ve decided to crate train your puppy, you’ll need a crate that will see you through from puppyhood to adulthood. You’ll need a crate the appropriate size so you can fit a puppy bed at one end and a puppy training pad the other incase they need to toilet when left in their crate. It also gives your pup enough room to stretch, play and sleep if crated during the daytime. Depending on your training methods, you may want to place the crate somewhere the puppy can be near to you, but also not directly in a high traffic area of your home. Remember the crate is your puppy’s den, so discourage any children from climbing inside.   2) Where should my puppy sleep? We recommend a puppy bed that’s easy for your pup to get in and gives them enough support and comfort whilst they sleep. Our Cosy & Calm Puppy Box Beds have been carefully designed with your puppy in mind. The beds are super squishy and soft, and have the most comfortable sides for your pup to snuggle right into. If you have chosen to crate train your pup, our vet bed is really popular, as it’s cosy, comfortable, robust and relatively puppy proof - it’s easily washed and dried too. It can be used with or without our Cosy & Calm puppy box bed.   3) What will my new puppy eat? It’s recommended you initially use the same food that your puppy comes home with, in order to avoid any tummy upset during their first few days with you. Once your puppy has settled, you can gradually introduce a new food to their diet. It’s good to check the food guidelines of the food you choose to feed your pup, as often they’ll give you the correct guidelines on how to introduce the new food to your pup. Make sure you have a clean bowl for water and a clean bowl for food, you can opt for a slanted water bowl if you have a spaniel breed to reduce your dogs ears from getting soaked in their water.   4) Puppy Toilet Training Top of your list should be a reliable pack of puppy training pads, not only are they great for training your young pup, but they are invaluable when travelling (pop in the bottom of their carrier/crate to catch any travel sickness or accidental toilet trips). You can also use them to absorb muddy, wet paws after your pup has had a play in puddles!   5) How to settle my new puppy at night When settling your new puppy at night, our heart beat sheep will be your puppy's new best friend. The heart beat sheep features a beating heart inside that mimics the beat of Mum's heart. They're designed to offer comfort and calm to new puppies who may feel nervous in their new home; they help to stop separation anxiety too. Alongside the heart beat sheep, you could pop in a heat pad under your dogs bed/cushion to keep them warm and to mimic the feeling of having siblings/mum near. Both the heat and the heart beat sheep will provide comfort for your puppy, especially whilst they are settling in and adjusting overnight.     6) How to keep your new puppy entertained Toys will provide something to chew on for your pup, which you’ll find are essential if you want to avoid your puppy chewing on your furniture. Choose a variety of textures, styles and sizes to keep your puppy engaged and interested. You may want to keep a toy box so your pup can choose what they’d like to play with, or keep a few toys in rotation so your puppy doesn’t get bored with them. You can also buy toys you can fill with treats or their food. If you want/need to leave your puppy - remember to build this up slowly, and don’t leave your new puppy for a long period of time - you could try freezing a peanut butter filled KONG (remember to use doggy/puppy friendly peanut butter). Freezing the toy will take them longer to work through and will give some relief to their sore teething gums and teeth.     7) Does my new puppy need a collar? You may want to purchase your dogs collar before they arrive home with you, however it’s advised to purchase the correct size collar for your puppy, which you may have to wait until they’re here to measure them properly. It is a legal requirement to have a tag with your details on incase your puppy gets lost or strays away, but it’s advised not to add your puppy’s name to the tag.   8) How will I get my new puppy home? Collecting your puppy to take them home is really exciting, but it’s best to be prepared. Make sure you have a suitable carrier/crate to store them in safely for the journey. It’s important your dog is restrained as it is the law to keep your puppy properly restrained whilst driving. In your carrier, you may want to pop in a blanket that smells like home and a scent blanket that smells like their mum and litter mates. It’s also good to have some puppy training pads to hand incase of any car sickness or accidental toilet trips.     9) When to start training my new puppy? You can start with bonding and training your puppy almost straight away, get some high quality, puppy training treats (make sure to check the guidelines), and enjoy teaching them new tricks - you’ll be amazed at how quick they learn!   10) When do I start grooming my puppy? It’s recommend that even if your pup won’t require grooming at first, you should regularly brush them to get them used to being groomed and handled. Choose a simple, soft brush and/or comb for the first couple of months. There will be a time you will need to wash your puppy, make sure you’re not using human shampoo as this will upset your puppy's PH levels and may not be compatible with your puppy flea treatment. It’s best to invest in a puppy shampoo that you can use when and if you need to bathe your puppy. We have our own puppy grooming set in our Petplex collection called the 'Puppy Purifier' it has a shampoo and a cologne to help keep your puppy smelling fresh.

Preventing Pet Obesity

Preventing Pet Obesity

Obesity in pets is on the rise – it is estimated that over 50% of dogs in the UK are overweight. Obesity is a serious welfare issue and can negatively affect your pet in many ways, in some cases even causing diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, high blood pressure and even cancers. Here we will look at ways to tell if your cat or dog is overweight and ways to help prevent obesity in your pets.   How To Tell If Your Dog Is Overweight • You should be able to see and feel the outline of your dog’s ribs without too much excess fat.  • You should be able to feel your dog’s waist and it should be clearly visible when viewed from above. • Your dog’s belly should be tucked up with minimal fat.   How To Tell If Your Cat Is Over Weight • You should be able to see and feel your cat’s ribs, spine and hip bones.  • Your cat’s waist should be visible from above. • There should be only a minimal amount of fat on your cat’s tummy and it shouldn’t sag underneath. If you think your cat or dog do not pass these quick checks then consult your vet.    Are Some Pets More Likely To Be Obese Than Others? The simple answer is yes. Some breeds are at higher risk of obesity so read as much information about the breed of your cat or dog as you can. There is a plethora of pet food options on the market now tailored to various pet types and breed, so it is always worth tailoring your cat or dog’s diet to their breed type.  Age is a factor too as the risk of obesity increases with age. This can be due to a decrease in activity as your pet gets older. Similarly, indoor cats can be at higher risk than their more active outdoor cousins – again a lower level of activity can result in a higher risk of being overweight.    Preventing Obesity The main causes of obesity are from eating too much and lack of exercise. Get these two things right and your pet should sustain a healthy weight. Read about your particular breed of cat or dog to ensure you are feeding them the correct diet and make sure you provide them with the exercise they need.   How To Prevent Obesity In Dogs Some dogs will need more exercise than others; some will require only a two or three short walks around the block a day whilst others should be more active and will benefit from a good run on the beach or at the park. Check with your breeder if you’re unsure and feed the correct diet to suit their level of exercise.    How To Prevent Obesity In Cats Most outdoor cats will get plenty of exercise from their daily routine of prowling around their domain! If you have an indoor cat,  which are naturally less active, think about a low-fat diet and provide a tall scratch post with platforms and hideouts to help provide the natural exercise they are missing from not going outside. You might even like to consider a cat harness and lead and walk them around the garden.   Equally, if your pet is older they may live a more relaxed lifestyle. There are lots of food options for elderly pets that are full of the goodness they need to meet their specific requirements.  If you're unsure about the best options for your cat, have a word with your Vet for some more advice.

How To Prepare For Your New Kitten

How To Prepare For Your New Kitten

Are you soon to be a proud new Kitten parent?! Bringing a new pet home for the first time is super exciting but also a liitle daunting. You'll more than likely want them to have the best of everything and preparing your home for their arrival will be high on your to-do list. Here we'll discuss some things to think about when preparing for your new feline arrival and some items for you to consider. Whether your new cat is longhaired or short haired; a pedigree or moggy; an outdoor or indoor cat; take our steps to ensure you're fully prepared for their arrival!   Prepare your Household for the New Kitten It's important to set the ground rules before your kitten arrives, so the whole household can teach and encourage the same behaviours. There are a few things to consider before your kitten comes home: Will your kitten be an indoor or outdoor cat? Where will your kitten sleep? Which areas of the house will they be allowed in? Will they be allowed on furniture? Who is responsible at feeding time? And equally for grooming, vet visits, litter clean-up etc? Who will spend time with your kitten? As much as cats can be independant, they are social creatures and will relish any bonding time you spend with them. It is important to spend time in the initial stages as it will help settle them into their new home.    Kitten-Proof your Home  Making sure your home is kitten-safe is your number one priority. Kittens are naturally inquisitive and playful and will be attracted to all kinds of things around the house. Make sure wires and cables are either out of reach, or stored as neatly as possible. You could consider boxing in or taping wires to make them less attractive to mischievous kittens. Anything loose should be secured as your kitten will ultimately be attracted to anything that looks like it might move!    The Basic New Kitten Shopping List There are a few things all kittens will need, regardless of their breed or whether they'll be indoor or outdoor cats. Every new kitten owner should include the following in their new kitten shopping list: Food Bowls Bed Scratch post or pad Litter box or tray Litter and scoop Toys!   Cat Beds Cats are quite often happy to sleep in all kinds of places, but it's still nice to offer them a dedicated space of their own. There are a couple of options here; cats like to feel secure so a hooded cat bed is a great option especially for nervous kittens. A round donut bed is also a good idea as cats love to curl up at naptime. Alternatively, try a blanket to place on your sofa.  There's a high chance that your cat will find a sleeping spot of their choice - they'll probably be drawn to a sunny windowsill or corner of your bed (if allowed!!) so don't be offended if they don't always choose the bed you bought them!      Kitten Food Ensuring your kitten gets all the nutrients they need for their early development is essential. If you're getting your cat from a breeder they should suggest a food for you. It's best to keep feeding the same food for at least the first few weeks and if you do change, make it a slow progression from one food to another. Always check the individual food bag for feeding instructions such as portion size. We would ideally suggest feeding a mix of good quality dry and wet food; the former will help keep your cat's teeth clean and sharp and the latter will help keep their water intake up (cats don't always like drinking a lot!). Keep a dish of dry food down all day, along with fresh drinking water and then offer two small portions of wet food a day. Of course, you will be led by your cats taste too - so you may find your cat prefers wet food to dry or vice-versa.  Litter Tray and Accessories There are a number of litter box options available. Think about how big your kitten will grow to as an adult, but also ensure the box is easily accessible for a kitten. If you're expecting a large breed such as a Ragdoll or Maine Coone you may need to size-up your litter box as they grow. A hooded litter tray is a nice option as it will contain the litter when your cat covers their business and also offer them privacy. Our preference on litter is a good quality clumping litter. This tends to prevent odour and is super easy to sift and clean. It can be more expensive upfront, but tends to be more economical in the long run as you don't need to fully change the litter as often, just sift out the waste daily.   Scratching Posts  Another essential is a scratching post. Cats have a natural instinct to scratch and rather than prevent them from doing it, you should encourage it in the right place. A scratch post or pad will allow them to sate their desire whilst encouraging them to do it away from your precious furniture, wallpaper and carpets. A vertical scratch post or tree is a great choice for most as it allows your cat to stretch at the same time, keeping their muscles supple and healthy. You might also consider a cardboard scratch pad - many cats love the texture of cardboard and will gain as much pleasure from this as a tree. If your cat is going to be an indoor cat, we'd suggest investing in a good sized scratch tree. Indoor cats will naturally be less active than their outdoor cousins, so giving them a tree with a range of platforms and posts will encourage them to climb and exercise.    Toys We all know cats love to play, so offering a range of toys to keep them occupied is a must. Try to have a few different toys that you can rotate to keep your kitten interested.  We'd suggest a cat wand for playtime with you as well as some catnip stuffed mice and maybe a treat ball. One of our favourite collections of toys is the Catit Senses range which has been designed to appeal to every one of your feline's unique senses. Each Senses item can be used separately or in conjunction with other Senses items to create the ultimate kitty playground.  We hope you find this useful. Even if you take just one or two things from this, we hope we manage to take a little of the stress out of bringing home your kittten.

Keeping Your Dog Active During National Pet Month

Keeping Your Dog Active During National Pet Month

In honour of National Pet Month, we thought we’d share some creative fitness tips and ideas to try with your pup. While you might want to indulge your furry friend in extra treats to show appreciation for them, be cautious as 1 in 3 dogs are overweight, and maintaining a healthy weight is important for your dog’s health.    Exercise Tips Going for regular walks with your dog is beneficial for weight control and for socialising your dog, but there are other fun exercises to check out too. Have you ever heard of dog diving? If your pup loves the water, then watch them have fun diving for a swim toy while also getting their daily exercise in. Ensure you have assessed any risks before attempting this exercise with your dog, this includes choosing a safe water zone. If you enjoy cycling, why not try with your pup? Try bikejoring where you use your dog’s power to pull your bike cross country. There are also indoor activities you can do with your pooch, such as playing tug-of-war and setting up an indoor obstacle course to help them get their daily exercise. Keeping your dog active is not only good for their health, but also helps limit unruliness and builds trust and a bond between you both.   If you’re unsure about how much exercise your dog needs or what exercise is right for them, then consult a vet or qualified dog care professional. And be sure to shop our dog toys for all interactive play you and your dog can enjoy together.

Preventing Separation Anxiety In Pets
16.04.19 April 16, 2019 Health Featured

Preventing Separation Anxiety In Pets

Dogs and cats, just like humans, are social creatures and leaving them on their own can cause distress. This can lead to both physical and psychological problems; pets can show signs of anxiety through vocalisation, destructive behaviour, distress as the owner prepares to leave, excessive grooming, along with other unusual behaviour.    Why Do Pets Suffer From Separation Anxiety? There are many reasons why a pet can develop separation issues. If your pet has grown attached to you or another member of the family and isn’t used to being away from them. There is something that frightens or worries them such as loud noises or strangers (the postman for example). Pets feel much more vulnerable when they are left to their own devices which will only heighten their feelings of fear.  Pets can also become unsettled if another animal companion dies. Strong bonds can be developed between each of our pets and they will suffer from the loss as much as humans.  Boredom. As mentioned before, boredom can be the cause of many issues in pets, particularly in young energetic pets who need lots of stimulation.   What Should I Do To Prevent Separation Anxiety? The key to preventing such issues lies in training from an early age. Try to leave your pet alone for short periods at a time from puppy or kitten stage so they realise that being away from you isn’t actually a bad thing. Choose a room in which you will leave them and make sure it is pet safe – nothing for them to break or hurt themselves on Make sure you have left them some water and a place to toilet, as well as a comfortable place for them to relax and sleep. This room should be used playtime and treat time when you are around, so they associate the area with positive things too. Many pets will like some kind of sound in the background; perhaps leave a radio on a low level in the room whilst you are out. Toys are a great addition to the area to help keep boredom levels at bay – dogs may like chew toys which will help encourage them not to chew your furnishings and tackle boredom. Maybe stuff some treats inside to keep them interested.  [Product]You could also try some calming products. Pet Remedy comes in a number of options including plug-in diffusers and sprays. These are all natural, made from essential oils and plant extracts to naturally calm and relax your pet. Exercise is also important. All pets require a certain level of exercise. It isn’t only good for their physical health but keeps their minds active and stimulated. Dogs should be taken on regular walks. A walk before you’re due to leave them alone is a great idea to burn off some steam and help relax them. If you have an indoor cat, provide plenty of scratch furniture and at least one tall tree. Indoor cats can be prone to weight gain anyway, due to their more sedate lifestyle. Providing them with plenty of stimulation in the form of climbing frames and toys will help keep them stimulated both when you’re at home and when you’re away.   If you think your pet is suffering from this or any other condition always consult your Vet for advice before changing routine or administering any kind of treatment. And don’t panic; there is plenty of information out there to help. There is a solution to every kind of problem!    For more expert advice and pet health information check out some of the following links: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general https://www.vets4pets.com/pet-health-advice/ https://www.clenthillsvets.co.uk/pet-advice/ If you have any questions about this or any other topic do let us know; we’re always happy to help as much as we can.

New Kitten Shopping List - Everything you Need For Your New Kitten
02.04.19 April 02, 2019 Getting A Kitten Featured

New Kitten Shopping List - Everything you Need For Your New Kitten

Waiting to bring home your new kitten is super exciting! Whether your new furry friend is a Pedigree or Moggy, there are a number of necessities you will need to have ready, in preparation for their arrival home.    What litter tray is best for kittens? Litter Tray – Litter training your kitty is essential, not just for indoor cats but for outdoor cats too. Buy a good quality litter (we like clumping litter as it tends to have no odour and is more economical) and a litter scoop for cleaning. If you’d like something that looks more attractive than a regular litter tray, our Cat Washroom is ideal – a stylish piece of furniture that hides your litter tray away.     The best bed for my kitten You will need a Cosy Cat Bed for your furry friends arrival (and all cats love to snooze!) In fact, a cat will sleep around 15 hours a day; up to 20 for kittens! With this in mind a cosy cat bed is a must-have. There are a number of options from cosy caves and hooded designs to radiator beds.          What does my kitten need? Cat Food & Water Bowls – A regular feeding regime is important for your growing kitten. Make sure you have at least two bowls for food and water. Keep dry food and fresh water available throughout the day. You may add a third, so you have separate bowls for wet and dry food. If you are getting your kitten from a breeder, speak to them about what food they recommend; they may give you a small amount when you collect your little one. There are a lot of resources online about cat food and what to feed them, but as long as you choose a good quality food especially for kittens you can’t go wrong. We’d also recommend feeding them both dry and wet food. The former is good to keep down all day for them to graze on and will help keep their teeth healthy. The latter is good for their digestion and water works and will help keep their fluid intake up – not all cats love drinking water. Aim for two small portions per day (check the individual food packaging for portion recommendations). Cat Carrier – Regular trips to the Vet will ensure your cat is healthy. After their initial vaccinations, they will need a yearly trip to top them up. A carrier will allow you to travel with your cat in safety. We particularly like the Catit Cabrio as it opens fully from the top allowing for easy access to nervous kittens. There are a number of other styles and designs to choose from though. Scratch Post or Tree – All cats love to eat, play, sleep and…. Scratch! Rather than discourage from scratching you should encourage them to do it in the correct places. Scratching is a healthy habit which will keep your cats claws healthy; removing the dead husks as they grow out, and also allows them to stretch out their muscles – cats are athletic creatures by nature, so a good stretch is great way to keep their muscles in tip-top shape! As a kitten you may wish to choose a small compact scratch post, but as they grow think about choosing a tall post that they can really stretch against as they scratch. A tall cat tree with a series of posts and platforms is great if you have the room as it will appeal to your cat’s love for climbing – also a great idea for indoor cats as it will help keep them active and their weight under control.  Cat Collar – This isn’t necessarily an essential for all cats, but if you’re kitten will one day venture outside you may wish to give them a collar. Collars can be adorned with an I.D tag so if your cat gets stuck up a tree or roams too far from home then hopefully someone will be able to bring them home. If you do choose to collar your cat, do your research and ensure you choose one with a breakaway collar in case it gets caught on your cat travels.     Cat Toys –Playtime is good for kittens’ development so toys are an essential on your kitten shopping list. Think about a series of toys that will appeal to your cats hunting instinct. Catnip mice and balls are always a favourite, but also think about teaser wand toys and something interactive. Our top pick would be a toy or two from the Catit Senses range. The Senses 2.0 range is designed to fulfil every one of your cat’s unique senses (hence the name) and can be used as separate items or connected together as a set. Grooming Kit – Different breeds will have different grooming requirements. A soft brush is a good addition to every cat owner’s accessories, but if you are bringing home a long-haired breed then you will need an array of tools to help keep their coat in tip-top condition. We stock a number of ancol brushes and combs for everyday grooming, but if you’re looking for the ultimate grooming kit then take a look at the Catit kits, one for longhaired breeds and one for shorthaired breeds, they contain everything you will need to keep your cat looking beautiful.   Microchip your cat – Not really an item for your shopping list, but an absolute must for all pet owners (cat and dog alike, both indoor and outdoor pets). Even if you intend to collar your cat you should microchip your pet so they can be traced properly.  Of course this is just a guide to the necessities you should think about in advance of bringing your kitten home, rather than a definitive list. Have a browse, speak to your breeder if you’re getting a pedigree and select the things that you think will best suit you and your lifestyle. If you have any questions, do get in touch.; we’re always happy to help!

Plants To Be Aware Of That Are Poisonous To Pets

Plants To Be Aware Of That Are Poisonous To Pets

Flowers always brighten up a spring morning; whether it’s a blossoming tree or a special bouquet from a loved one, we love the colour and fragrance they add to rooms and gardens. As pet owners it is really important to know which flowers and plants are poisonous to animals. You may remember our post last Spring about plants and flowers to be wary of around your pets. With Mother’s Day just around the corner we thought we’d highlight some of the other poisonous plants to be aware of.  Chrysanthemums Peonies Delphiniums Azalea Amaryllis If you have a pet, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have these plants at all, but just be extra cautious. Keep them out of reach of pets or in rooms that your pet isn’t allowed. If you think your pet has eaten any plant, it is always best to take them to the vet for a check-up.   Pet Friendly Flowers If you’re looking for pet friendly blooms, either for a loved one or yourself, both Bloom & Wild and Arena Flowers have a wonderful selection of bouquets to choose from.

Cat Proofing Your Home
12.03.19 March 12, 2019 Getting A Kitten Featured

Cat Proofing Your Home

Do you have an inquisitive feline? Perhaps you’re about to be a first-time cat owner? Your home will soon become their home and making sure they’re safe in their environment will be really important. We thought wed put together a handy guide to Cat Proofing your home and making sure you're ready for their arrival.  We also have a handy illustrated guide form the guys over at Sainbury’s Bank Money Matters Blog to help you remember the main points.    Hide Away Harmful Foods The first top tip is to ensure to make sure harmful human foods are stored away from your new pet. Your new cat or kitten needs to have a safe environment which means keeping foods that are poisonous to cats stored safely away; they will want to explore and will be highly inquisitive, so make sure they can't get to anything that isn't safe. Some of the foods that are toxic to cats are: grapes & raisins; chocolate; raw eggs; caffeinated drinks and alcohol.    Cat Safety around the Home There are other potential hazards for your cat around theme, not just human foods. Beware of electrical wires and cords - we all know how much cats and kittens love to play. A stray lead behind the tv or overhanging wire in the kitchen will look oh so inviting to your hunting kitty. Make sure they are tucked safely away and out of reach of playful cats.  Keep Medicines and cleaning supplies locked away - This may seem obvious, but it's easy to take a tablet from the cupboard and leave the bottle on the side. If you have cats (or any other pets) make sure all medical supplies are kept safely locked away in a cupboard, draw or cabinet. The same goes for household cleaning products. you might want to start checking the back of certain products that you buy to see the recommendations they have regarding pets. Some fly sprays for instance are highly toxic to cats - so be fully aware of what you are using around your home and make sure products are pet-safe.   Check your Washing Machine - Cats love snuggling down in secret, dark corners for a snooze. you may have provided them with the most comfortable bed you can find but they are sure to find other places to snooze too! Be careful of your washing machine once your new kitten comes home - keep the door closed even when not in use and always make sure your inquisitive kitty hasn't sneaked inside before starting a cycle. Flowers - There are may types of flowers and plants that are actually toxic to cats and other pets. Try to keep indoor flowers and plants out of reach of your cat. you might want to check that your garden has no varieties that are toxic to cats either.   Kitten Training with Children Introducing a cat to your home is rather different from introducing a dog. Where the latter can be trained and will enjoy lots of human socialisation, cats tend to be rather more independent. Of course there are many lap cats who love a fuss and a cuddle on the sofa, but for every lap cat there are probably two or three much more independent felines - and we should love them for it! With this in mind teaching our children to respect their new feline family members and understand their needs is really important.  Teach your children to pet and stroke kitten gently and also teach them to stop when kitten shows signs that they've had enough. A swishing tail or turned back ears are just two signs that your cat is less than happy. A nice way to involve your children is to include them when feeding your cat. The main thing is teaching respect and ensuring your cat or kitten has somewhere they retreat to when they want to enjoy some alone time.     Cat and Kitten Furniture & Accessories at Lords & Labradors  ​We have a whole department at Lords & Labradors dedicated to your kitties. Our Cat Emporium has everything you could possible need including Scratch Posts and trees, Cat Carriers, Treats and Beds.

Natural Pet Remedies For Everyday Maladies

Natural Pet Remedies For Everyday Maladies

​We all want the very best for our pets. That doesn’t just mean buying them the most comfortable bed or fanciest collar, but also goes for their daily health too. Whether it’s a dry nose, a nervous disposition or sore paws, finding the right remedy is an important consideration. Here we take a look at some natural pet remedies for everyday maladies including a couple of things you might find around the home…   Bad Breath Does your dog suffer from bad breath? After a quick trip to the vet to rule out any serious dental issues, try a drop or two of peppermint or spearmint oil in your dog’s water bowl to freshen up his breath.  You could use our Pooch & Mutt Fresh Breath treats as a reward for good behaviour or as a training aid. With peppermint in the ingredients which helps digestion as well as freshens breath.   ​​​​Skin Issues or Dry Coat If your dog’s coat is looking dry then they may need a boost of Omega 3 to help restore the natural oils. Look for human grade omega 3 products tested to be free of any toxins and check with your Vet for the best dosage. You could also look for dog foods and treats with added Omega 3 such as the Billy + Margot Beef Liver Bites.  If your dog is prone to dry skin, then a natural balm is a must-have product. The all natural Wild Dog Co Skin Relief Balm is perfect for a number of issues including dry skin, insect bites and minor cuts and scrapes.   Minor Wounds To clean a minor wound you could use a 50-50 mix of green tea and water and apply with a gauze pad. Green tea contains anti-septic properties and so will help stop infection. Leucillin antiseptic spray is an unbeatable natural anti-septic spray used by animal professionals. Containing Hypochlorous which is a neutral chemical found naturally in the body. It is 100% pet safe having been specially formulated for all animals and kills up to 99.999% of germs and bacteria. It is safe to be used on all sensitive areas and is harmless if ingested when used on domestic pets.   Sore Paws WildWash’s Healing Paw Balm is the perfect antidote for cracked, dry or rough paws. A 100% natural balm containing Almond Oil, frankincense and Kanuka, it is great in adverse weather conditions, both hot and cold – affording protection against hot pavements and ice and salt.   Minor Sunburn or Hot Spots If your dog’s skin becomes reddened from the sun then aloe vera gel, with its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, is the perfect natural skin soother. Do beware of the white sap from the aloe vera plant and always ask your vet before using any commercial aloe vera creams.   Dry Nose If you have a dog prone to a dry nose such as a pug or Frenchie, then a nose balm is an essential item. The Wild Dog Co Nose Balm is all natural, containing a mixture of calendula, Seabuckthorn extract and essential oils to help sooth and soften dry noses. Wonderfully moisturising and nourishing for the snout area and 100% safe to eat (we recommend applying after eating to give the balm chance to work before it can be licked off).   Anxious Pets If your pet’s health worry is more psychological than physical, there are natural remedies to help. A nervous disposition in pets can be caused by all sorts of things such as loud noises, a new home or a change of routine. Our Pet Remedy range includes a number of products in both spray and diffuser form that will help anxious pets to relax. Containing a mixture of natural plant extracts and oils, the sprays can be used on bedding, soft furnishing, in the car or on the carpet. ​

Top 5 Pet Accessories For Your Car
11.02.19 February 11, 2019 Travel Featured

Top 5 Pet Accessories For Your Car

Whether you’re a constant long-distance traveller or mainly stick to short trips around town, we have a number of travel accessories to make car travel with your pets as comfortable and easy as possible. Here we look at the top five travel accessories every dog owner should have.    1. Travel Crate It is a legal requirement that dogs are kept safely restrained in the car when travelling. This goes for short and long distance journeys. A travel crate is a great option for most dog owners; whether it’s a slanted crate for small breeds or a large carrier for medium to large breeds.   2. Car Seat Belts & Carriers If you prefer to travel with your dog in the main area of the car rather than the boot, then a dog seat belt or carrier which straps in to the seat is a great way to keep them safe. Seatbelts attach to your dogs harness (don’t attach to a collar as it may pull on your dog’s neck) and clip into your car’s fitted seatbelt. These are great for larger breeds that are too big for your boot. Where as the smaller carriers are great for smaller pups to be safely secured in the car.    3. Travel Bowls Travel bowls are an essential item for longer journeys. The Beco travel bowls are our favourite as they fold down flat for easy storage and are made from eco-friendly plant based fibres. Available in a number of sizes and colours these are truly handy accessories for any dog owner.   4. Boot Mats A good quality boot mat is a handy addition to any travel accessories collection. Perfect after a walk in the countryside or on the beach to help protect your car from muddy paws.    5. Drying Coat or Bag This may seem like an odd choice for a travel accessory, but actually these come in so handy on your travels. Drying coats, towels and bags aren’t just for bath time but ideal after a run on the beach, or to dry off after a wet weather walk. Pop the coat on once you get back to the car and it will help dry and keep your pup warm. We always keep a drying coat in our travel bag as you just never know when it might come in handy!   And We haven’t forgotten Travel for Cats… It’s just as important to ensure our cats are safe on their travels. From short trips to the vet to longer car journeys, a good quality carrier is a must-have.     What are your favourite travel accessories? We’d love to know what items you can’t live without when travelling with your furry family members. Send us pictures and we may even feature you in a social media post!
