    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

    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.

The First Five Days Of Owning A Puppy

The First Five Days Of Owning A Puppy

Adopting a puppy in to the family is an exciting time; a new bundle of joy who will become a loyal companion for years to come. As well as the excitement, new puppy owners also tend to feel a great sense of responsibility. Ensuring you make the best decisions for your little one can be stressful. Some of the most common questions we are asked are related to new puppies; what should you buy them? Should you crate train them? What should you feed them? How best to settle them? There are a number of things to consider when first bringing your puppy home and the first thing to do is relax – with the right preparation there is no reason why you can’t enjoy the whole process. So here’s what to do in the first five days of owning a puppy:   Puppy Proof Your Home! This should ideally be done before your new four-legged friend arrives home. Puppies usually arrive at their forever home between 9-12 weeks old when they still have everything to learn. Your pup will probably be eager to explore and highly likely to chew! So, anything that may hurt them (or anything you’d prefer them not to destroy!) should be removed from their living space. We suggest not allowing them into every room at first, rather choose a room for them, and secure the space with a dog gate or similar. This way there will be less opportunities for them to wreak havoc. Think about keeping your pup’s area free from valuable furniture, electricals, cleaning supplies, washing, shoes and kid’s toys. You could try a pet repellent spray on furniture that can’t be removed, to help deter them from chewing.   Prepare Your Puppy Essentials This may sound obvious, but making sure you have everything your puppy will need is imperative. Ideally, you’ll have had time to prepare in advance so when the little one arrives he can move straight in and you won’t be worrying about where anything is or if you have everything. We’d suggest crate training from the beginning which will help with manners and provide a safe space when he can’t be supervised. A series of chew toys and puzzle toys will ensure your puppy is entertained and develops mentally. Puppy pads will be essential until your pup is fully potty trained. Food and water bowls A bed! If you’re unsure of what to get specifically then give us a call. We’d be happy to help! Or you could take a look at our Welcome to the World Puppy Packs which come in four sizes for various sized breeds and contain all the everyday puppy essentials.   Establish Ground Rules From Day One Ensure you and the rest of the human household know what the dog will and will not be allowed to do. Will he be allowed on furniture? Where will he sleep? Which rooms is he allowed? Who will feed, train, walk him etc? If everyone is on the same page from the beginning, training and settling your new pup will be much easier and stress free. Also, decide on the same command words to use so you don’t confuse your new dog (you don’t want one person saying “down” and another saying “get off” for instance).   Create A Schedule Getting the new arrival into a steady routine will help them settle much more easily. Deciding when your puppy will eat, sleep and toilet from the beginning will help them feel secure. Your puppy will soon adapt to their new schedule and will know what to expect from their day. With time their body clocks will be accustomed to doing certain things at certain times which is convenient for everyone. Try to keep the first few days as relaxed as possible and introduce new things slowly. Try not to introduce too many new people in the first week and perhaps keep your new pup within their new home for the first week or so to. There will be plenty of time to explore the great outdoors and introduce them to your friends once they’re settled   Introduce Your New Puppy Slowly It’s best to pick your pup up in the morning if possible. Then slowly but surely introduce them to the crate throughout the day. Put their blanket in there so it feels and smells of home. Try putting tasty treats inside and when they go in give praise. Don’t force them inside and don’t close the door behind. Once they are happily going in and out and seem totally comfortable, you can close the door behind them.   Teach Your Pup Their Name Keep saying your pups name and giving a treat when they respond to help them remember!   Don’t Panic!! If it’s your first time owning a new puppy, just remember you’re not the only one! There is loads of information and advice online, so do a bit of research and you’ll be just fine. Quite often, common sense will tell you what to do and if you’re still unsure ask someone for advice. In a few weeks you’ll wonder what it was you were anxious about in the first place and you’ll be enjoying time spent with your new four-legged family member!

Top 5 Camping Products For Dogs

Top 5 Camping Products For Dogs

Are you the adventurous kind of doggy parent; the outdoorsy kind whose ideal retreat is a camping trip in the woods? Do you sometimes find it hard to know what to take to make your pup’s trip as comfortable as possible? At Lords & Labradors we have a whole variety of products especially chosen to make travelling as easy and stress-free as possible. So take a look at our top five products for camping with your dog; a list of items that we think will make your next night under the stars a pleasure for you and your canine family members!   What to Take on a Camping Trip With Dog A Pet Travel Crate Travelling in the car is an important consideration for even the smallest journey. There are a couple of options here depending on the breed and size of your dog. The Ellie Bo car crates are available in Standard and Deluxe, in 2 sizes. They will fit in most car boots and are suitable for breeds up to the size of a cocker spaniel and similar. If you have a larger breed and a large vehicle (a Discovery for example) then a standard Ellie-Bo crate may be a better choice (if you can fit it in with all your other camping equipment!). If you’d prefer something less cage-like, then the waterproof pet crate or Bracco Carriers may be more suitable. They pop down flat when not in use and can used once you get to your destination as a bed as well as travelling in the car.   Beco Travel Bowls The Travel Bowls by Beco are a must for any dog owner. Made from a natural rubber and available in 3 sizes and 3 colours they pop down flat when not in use and are ideal for food and water on the go.   Boot Mat A Waterproof Mat is a great multi-purpose item to take on your travels. It can be used in your car boot, in your dog’s crate or just in your tent when relaxing in the evenings. Its waterproof properties make it super practical; ideal when your dog has just been for a swimthe evening. We also have a luxury tweed version from Tweedmill – perfect for countryside adventures!   Everything by Ruffwear! An accessory or two by Ruffwear is a must for any adventuring dog. Ruffwear make a host of premium accessories designed especially for outdoorsy canines. The collection includes Hoopie Collars and Front Range leads in an array of colours; the Float Coat for camping trips by the river; and the Beacon Dog Safety Light, so whatever kind of camping trip you’re going on, you can be sure your dog stays safe at all times.      Ruff & Tumble Dog Drying Coat An everyday essential, but particularly great for travel; the ultimate drying coats for dogs from Ruff & Tumble are a practical choice for all happy campers. We all know the weather can’t always be trusted; if you get caught in a shower, pop a drying coat on your dog once you’re back at the tent to keep him dry and warm. Whatever kind of camping trip you enjoy; be it coastal, rural, by the river etc, we think all these items will come in handy. If you decide to try out any of the products listed, let us know how you get on with them. Of course this is just our top five dog products for camping; if your favourite accessory for camping trips with your dog isn’t listed, then let us know. We love to discover what items you use and why you love them. If you have any questions or comments about this or any of our blog posts, do let us know. E-mail us at hello@lordsandlabradors.co.uk, find us on LiveChat or message us on our Social Media. We endeavour to help as much as we can.   Send us your pictures! We always appreciate the pictures you send of you and your dogs, enjoying your Lords & Labradors goodies.

Sunscreen For Dogs

Sunscreen For Dogs

Whether it’s a day at the beach or just a quick stroll into town, we are all aware of the dangers of sun exposure, but what about the risks to our pets? They like humans are just as likely to burn in the sun so it’s important to be aware and take the necessary precautions when out and about in the summer. We all know to make sure our pets have plenty of ventilation and hydration in the Summer but it’s just as important to protect their skin with a lotion. Dogs are just as likely as humans to suffer from sunburn. A sunburned dog can suffer from red skin and inflammation which will irritate and become painful. In worst cases sunburn in dogs can even lead to hair loss, so be prepared and avoid any unnecessary damage.   Can I use Sunscreen on my Dog?  Just like humans, sunburn in dogs can lead to certain types of skin cancer, so the simple answer is, yes! If you’re going to be leaving the house with your dog during summer and there’s a good chance of sun exposure then yes, apply sunscreen. Take particular care to cover the sensitive areas such as the nose, lips, ears and belly. This is especially important if you have a short-haired breed with white hair, as they are more susceptible to sunburn than dogs with thicker, darker coats.   What kind of sunscreen can I use on my dog? There are sunscreens available that are designed specifically for canine use. However, if you don’t have access to one then a sunscreen designed for babies and children with a high SPF can be used as an alternative. Do be wary in this instance though as there are certain ingredients in creams that are toxic to dogs. Choose a fragrance-free, baby sunscreen that doesn’t contain zinc oxide, as dogs lick their skin and may accidentally ingest the cream. Always make sure the cream you are using DOES NOT contain Zinc Oxide or Para-aminobenzoic (PABA) as these are toxic to dogs. If you are unsure, it is always best to ask a veterinarian before applying any creams to your dog.   How Do I Best Apply SunCream To My Dog? The main areas to be careful when applying creams are the eyes and face. Just be cautious not to get any product near the eye area and once applied make sure the cream has had time to soak into the skin before you allow your pup to lick; monitor them until the cream has dried.   What Else Cat I Do To Protect my Dog in the Summer? We all like to be outside in the summer and it is the same for our dogs. It’s really important to provide them with access to shelter from the Sun’s rays and plenty of fresh water. Pets, like humans, are susceptible to heat stroke, so making sure they stay as cool as possible and hydrated will ensure they remain comfortable and healthy in the hotter months. As well as applying sun cream, you could try one or two of our warm weather accessories. The Swamp Cooler Cooling Vest and Cooling Mat are both designed specifically for hot weather. There is also the option of a  L&L Drying Coat which, when not being used to dry your dog down, can be soaked in cold water to help cool down your pet in hot weather. So make the most of the Summer months; apply sunscreen, ensure your pup drinks plenty of water and enjoy your day trips and holidays in health. We’d love to hear what sunscreens and lotions you use on your four-legged friends. Send us a message to our e-mail or on social media. If you send us a picture along with your comment we might just feature you on Facebook or Instagram! Equally, if you have any questions; about something covered here or something more general, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are always happy to help in any way we can.

Designed For The Road - Car Safety Harnesses

We all love a day out with our canine family members. A walk on the beach, a trip into town or an adventure on holiday somewhere. When travelling by car, your pup’s safety and security is priority. Many people choose a car crate to keep their dogs safe in the car, but what if your car isn’t big enough; or you’d just rather travel with your dog at your side? Our selection of dog safety harnesses may be just the thing you need.   Our Choice Of Car Harnesses and Tethers For Dogs HiDream Pet Seatbelt A pet seatbelt is an ideal for keeping your dog safe in the backseat of the car. It simply clips to your dogs harness and the other end slots into your seatbelt fitting. It will give your dog some freedom whilst also making sure he can't move around too much or distract you. Perfect for larger dogs who are too big for a crate.   Kurgo Enhanced Strength Tru-Fit Smart Car Harness A comfortable dog car harness with a broad padded chest plate to reduce stress on the chest area. The seatbelt tether is compatible with seatbelt systems and will ensure your dog’s safety when travelling in the car. The Kurgo harness is so comfortable it can even double up as a walking harness due to its comfortable fit.  With six adjustment points and easy to use nesting buckles, you won’t be disappointed with the practicality and versatility of this car harness.     Kurgo Sky Box If you have a little puppy or a toy dog, you may wish to give them their very own seat. The Kurgo Sky Box Booster seat can be used in either the front or back and is really easy to fit. It has a fitted tether that attaches to your puppy’s harness so they can’t get out whilst you’re on the move. Your puppy will love sitting in their very own car seat; sitting next to you rather than in the boot and able to watch the world go by!  Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that your pup will travel in perfect comfort and safety. We do also have car crates if you’d prefer to travel with your dog in the boot. The choice is yours!
