    Christmas Survival Guide For Your Pets

    Our pets are as much a part of the family as our human relations. We know it’s just as important to make sure their festive season is as fun as everyone else's. From the perfect presents wrapped under the tree to some tasty festive treats, there are an array of products out there to make sure your dogs and cats have the best Christmas ever. But what are the dangers at Christmas?  There are a few things to consider when preparing for the big Christmas day. Here we have compiled our Christmas Survival Guide for Pets. Take note and ensure you have a wonderful Christmas this year. Whilst your here be sure to check out our Santa's grotto collection to get any last minute gifts for your pets!   Festive Foods Food is an integral part of the Christmas festivities in most households. Whilst our human family members are partial to a mince pie and a chocolate or two, it’s important not to share. Chocolate – Chocolate is really poisonous to dogs. It causes sickness and can even be deadly in certain cases. All chocolate should be kept well out of reach of your canine companions. Hang chocolate decorations on the highest branches of the tree and make sure chocolate gifts are not left under the tree. Alcohol – This may seem obvious, and whilst we don’t expect anyone will be filling their pet's dish with wine, it’s important to keep watch over our own glasses to make sure our pets don’t get any ideas. Also, beware of feeding them any foods with alcohol in. It can cause serious problems in all pets. Want your dogs to join in on the fun? Why not try Woof & Brew's range of pet drinks? From sniffer beer to white wine, these tasty drinks are great for pets this festive season! Mince Pies, Christmas Cake, and Panettone –  Raisins, sultanas, and dates found in all of these foods are toxic to pets and can be fatal in some instances. Make sure you keep these foods out of reach of any pets. Especially any mince pies left out for Santa! Perhaps buy some Christmas-themed foods and treats for your pets so they can join in the fun in a safe way, you can find Christmas dinner and treats for your pets here.  For a list of foods your dog can and can't eat, why not check out our pet Christmas dinner guide here?   Toxic Plants There is nothing as lovely as decorating the house with fresh foliage. Mistletoe, Holly, Ivy, and Poinsettias are all popular additions to our interior decor at Christmas but can cause serious problems for our pets. All three of these plants can be toxic to pets; the bright red leaves of Poinsettia and the traditional classic holly and ivy can cause serious upset stomachs in many animals. The latter can even be fatal in rabbits. You also need to be wary of Mistletoe which can cause drooling, retching and vomiting. If you think your pet may have eaten something they shouldn't please consult your vet as soon as possible for advice.   Christmas Wrap and Decorations Whilst it’s lovely to decorate our homes with Christmas decorations at this time of year, it’s best to be cautious where pets are concerned. Try not to leave them unattended in any rooms with Christmas decorations things like tinsel, flashing lights and other dangly items can be most tantalising to cats and dogs; one, you don't want your decorations ruined and two, the swallowing of any loose parts can be a choking hazard. The same goes for Christmas wrapping. Gift wrap, ribbon, and tags make your gifts look extra special, but like other decorations can be dangerous to pets. On Christmas morning make sure all paper and tags etc are tidied quickly. Make sure any batteries are kept away from cats and dogs as swallowing those can lead to dangerous internal burns. It’s best to keep pets away from any human decorations, toys, or wrapping. Perhaps treat them to some festive-themed toys to keep them occupied and divert their attention away from the things they shouldn’t play with!   Create A Safe Space The hustle and bustle of Christmas can cause your pets to worry due to the change in routine, increased noise levels and unfamiliar visitors. Make sure to give your pet a safe, quiet space they can retreat to when the festivities get too much. Your dog might like a crate with a cover or a bed and blanket for instance and your cat will feel safest up high where he can view the room from his own cat tree. If you have smaller pets such as gerbils or hamsters you may want to remove their cages from the main rooms of the house over the busiest days of the Christmas period to make sure they feel safe and content.    Whilst the dangers around Christmas might seem overwhelming, there’s no reason not to enjoy the holiday with the whole family including your animal friends. Take precautions with the above issues, but don’t let it stop you from having a great time. If you have any questions about anything mentioned here or something more general, do get in touch. We love to hear from you and your pets!

  • Is Peanut Butter Good For Dogs?
    04.12.23 December 04, 2023 Health Featured

    Is Peanut Butter Good For Dogs?

    Peanut butter—a delightful treat beloved by many—has found its way into the hearts (and mouths) of numerous canine companions. But while it's a delicious indulgence for humans, the question remains: Is peanut butter safe and beneficial for our four-legged friends? Can Dogs Have Peanuts? The short answer: Yes, dogs can eat peanuts. These legumes are safe for most dogs when served in moderation and in the right form. However, some caveats exist, especially regarding certain types of peanuts or peanut-related products. Are Peanuts Toxic to Dogs? Raw or salted peanuts, especially in large quantities, might pose risks to dogs due to potential additives like salt, which can lead to sodium ion poisoning. Moreover, aflatoxins—a type of mould commonly found in peanuts—can be harmful to dogs if ingested in significant amounts. Always opt for unsalted, unflavoured peanuts and ensure they are fresh and free from mould. Is Peanut Butter Good for Dogs? High-quality, unsweetened, and unsalted peanut butter can be a safe and healthy treat for dogs. It's an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and niacin. Not to mention, many dogs absolutely adore its taste and texture! Peanut Butter Dog Treats: Safe and Delicious When considering peanut butter for dogs, especially as a treat or in homemade recipes, it's crucial to steer clear of xylitol—a common sweetener found in some peanut butter brands. Xylitol is toxic to dogs and must be avoided at all costs. Peanut Butter Dos and Don'ts for Dogs: Dos: Opt for Natural Peanut Butter: Choose unsweetened, unsalted varieties without additives like xylitol. Moderation is Key: While nutritious, peanut butter is calorie-dense. Limit the portions to prevent excessive calorie intake. Homemade Treats: Consider making homemade peanut butter treats using safe ingredients tailored for dogs. Don'ts: Xylitol-Containing Products: Avoid peanut butter brands that include xylitol, as it can be lethal to dogs. Mouldy or Rancid Peanuts: Always ensure that the peanuts or peanut butter are fresh and free from mould or spoilage. Can Puppies Have Peanut Butter? Puppies can enjoy peanut butter in moderation as part of a balanced diet once they've transitioned to solid foods. However, due to their developing systems, it's crucial to introduce new foods gradually and consult a veterinarian before introducing peanut butter to a puppy's diet.   Peanut Butter Dog Treats Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup natural peanut butter (no xylitol) 1 egg 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix peanut butter and egg until well combined. Gradually add flour and mix until a dough forms. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes. Place treats on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let the treats cool completely before serving to your furry friend.   Final Thoughts Peanut butter, when selected and served wisely, can be a delightful addition to your dog's diet. Always prioritise quality, avoid harmful additives, and ensure moderation in feeding. As with any new food, consult your veterinarian to ensure it fits well with your dog's specific dietary needs and health condition. With these precautions in mind, sharing a dollop of peanut butter with your furry companion can be a delicious and safe indulgence!

    Understanding Feline Communication: A Comprehensive Guide to Cat Body Language

    Cats are enigmatic and beloved creatures, who communicate a rich tapestry of emotions and intentions through their body language. Understanding your domestic cat's body signals, especially their tail language, posture, eye movements, and sleeping positions, can unveil a secret world of feline communication.   Decoding Cat Tail Language The cat's tail serves as a prominent indicator of its mood and feelings. An upright tail with a slight curve at the tip often signifies a content and friendly disposition. Conversely, a tucked or lowered tail could indicate fear, submission, or discomfort. It's crucial to consider the context and other body signals alongside tail movements to interpret a cat's emotions accurately.   Interpreting Cat Posture and Positions A cat's posture speaks volumes about its state of mind. For instance, an arched back might denote fear or aggression, while a relaxed, sprawling posture signals comfort and trust. Understanding the nuances of cat body language chart can help discern their feelings and needs more effectively.   Insights from Cat Eye Language The eyes, often referred to as the windows to the soul, play a pivotal role in feline communication. Dilated pupils may indicate excitement or arousal, while narrowed eyes can signal aggression or irritation. Additionally, slow blinking from a cat can convey affection and trust, akin to a feline "kiss."   Detecting Illness through Body Language Observing changes in your cat's usual body language can provide crucial clues about its health. Signs like decreased activity, altered posture, changes in eating habits, or avoiding social interaction might indicate underlying sickness. Prompt attention to these shifts and consulting a veterinarian is essential for your cat's well-being.   Understanding Kitten and Adult Cat Body Language Kittens communicate differently from adult cats. While kittens might exhibit more exaggerated movements and playfulness, adult cats tend to be more subtle and nuanced in their expressions. Learning to distinguish between the body language of kittens and mature cats aids in better interaction and care.   Using Body Language Cat Sleeping Positions as a Guide Cat sleeping positions offer insights into their comfort levels and trust in their environment. A relaxed, exposed belly indicates a high level of comfort, while a curled-up posture may suggest a need for security and warmth. In essence, comprehending feline body language is an art requiring keen observation and empathy. By familiarising oneself with cat tail meanings, postures, eye movements, and sleeping positions, cat owners can build stronger bonds with their furry companions and respond more effectively to their needs. Remember, each cat is unique, and understanding their individual cues and behaviours is key to nurturing a fulfilling relationship. Stay attentive to your cat's body language, as it serves as a bridge to their world, allowing for deeper connections and a happier, healthier feline friend.

  • Should I Get My Dog Neutered?
    04.12.23 December 04, 2023 Health Featured

    Should I Get My Dog Neutered?

    For dog owners, the decision of whether to spay or neuter their beloved pets is often a pivotal one. The process of neutering, or spaying, a dog involves surgical removal of reproductive organs, and it's a decision that requires careful consideration. Let's delve into the details of dog spay and neuter procedures, their benefits, costs, and the recovery process to aid in your decision-making process. Understanding Dog Neutering Neutering involves the removal of a male dog's testicles or a female dog's ovaries and uterus. The primary aim is to prevent reproduction, reducing the number of unwanted litters and curbing certain behavioural tendencies. Benefits of Neutering Your Dog Behavioural Changes - Neutering can often lead to a reduction in certain behaviours such as roaming, aggression, and marking territory. Male dogs might display less dominance-related behaviours after being neutered. Health Benefits - Spaying female dogs reduces the risk of uterine infections and breast tumours. Neutering male dogs can prevent testicular cancer and reduce the risk of prostate problems. Controlling Overpopulation - By preventing unwanted litters, neutering contributes significantly to controlling the population of stray dogs. Factors to Consider Cost to Spay or Neuter a Dog - The cost can vary widely based on factors such as the dog's size, age, and location. To find out the cost to neuter your dog we recommend speaking with your vet as they may have pet plans or payment plans to help with the cost! Recovery Period - Post-surgery, dogs require a period of recovery. For females, it can take around 10-14 days for the incision to heal fully. Males usually have a shorter recovery period. Preventing the dog from excessive activity during this time is crucial. Timing - The ideal age for neutering can vary by breed and size. Some experts recommend neutering at around 6 months, while others suggest earlier or later based on the dog's health and breed. Keyhole Spaying - A Minimally Invasive Option Keyhole spaying, or laparoscopic spaying, is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses smaller incisions and a camera for the procedure. It offers faster recovery times and potentially reduced post-operative pain compared to traditional spaying methods. Neutering My Dog - Yes Or Now Deciding whether to get your dog neutered is a multifaceted choice that involves considering various factors such as your dog's health, behaviour, and your own circumstances. Consulting with a veterinarian to weigh the pros and cons based on your specific situation is crucial. In the end, while dog spay and neuter procedures have their costs and potential recovery periods, the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial concerns. Neutering not only contributes to your pet's health but also plays a role in managing the population of unwanted animals. Remember, the decision should be made with careful consideration of your dog's individual needs and in consultation with a qualified veterinary professional.

  • Our Guide To Taking Your Dog On The Train For The First Time
    31.10.23 October 31, 2023 Owning a Dog Featured

    Our Guide To Taking Your Dog On The Train For The First Time

    For many dog owners, the thought of taking their furry companions on a train journey for the first time can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Questions like "Are dogs allowed on trains?" and "Can you take dogs on the Eurostar?" often arise. Fortunately, with the right knowledge and preparation, traveling with your dog on a train can be a smooth and enjoyable experience. In this comprehensive guide, we will address all your concerns and provide valuable insights on how to make your dog's first train journey a pleasant one.   Are Dogs Allowed on Trains? Yes, dogs are generally allowed on trains, but specific regulations and policies can vary between train operators and regions. To ensure a smooth journey, it's crucial to research the dog-friendly policies of the train service you plan to use. Most train services allow dogs to travel with their owners, but there are conditions you should be aware of, such as size restrictions, the need for a lead and, in some cases, the requirement for a muzzle. Can Dogs Go On Trains In The UK? Traveling with your canine companion on trains in the United Kingdom is a common practice, and train operators across the country have established guidelines to make this experience safe and enjoyable for both pets and passengers. Here, we will provide you with information based on the guidance from the official National Rail website. National Rail has laid out a comprehensive pet policy to clarify the rules and requirements for traveling with dogs and other pets on trains across the UK. Below are some key points from their policy: Size Restrictions: National Rail's pet policy does not specify a weight limit for dogs, but it is essential to ensure your dog is well-behaved and can fit comfortably in the space provided without causing inconvenience to other passengers. Lead Requirements: While on the train, your dog should be kept on a lead or harness, or in some cases in a pet carrier - smaller dogs may feel more comfortable in a dog carrier.  Carriage Restrictions: Dogs are typically allowed in the passenger carriages, but it is advisable to check with your specific train service for designated areas or carriages for travellers with pets. Reservations: Making a reservation is strongly recommended when traveling with your dog, as it ensures you have sufficient space and reduces potential inconveniences to other passengers. Cleaning Up: Responsible pet owners should carry poop bags to clean up after their dogs. This ensures that the train remains clean and hygienic for all passengers. Identification and Vaccination Documents: While it is not a strict requirement on all train services, it's a good practice to carry identification and vaccination documents for your dog. This can be especially important if your dog were to become lost during your journey. Make sure the name and address on both their microchip and ID tag on their collar is up to date.  Behaviour and Consideration: Be considerate of your fellow passengers. Ensure your dog remains well-behaved, quiet, and does not cause any disturbances during the journey. It's important to note that National Rail's pet policy is a guideline for the entire UK rail network, but there may be some variations depending on the train operator or specific services. Therefore, it is advisable to check with the train service you plan to use to ensure you comply with their individual pet policy.   Can Dogs Go On Eurostar Trains? Dogs can only go on certain Eurostar train routes, but there are guidelines you must follow. Eurostar allows small dogs to travel with their owners under specific conditions. Make sure to check the Eurostar website for the most up-to-date information on their pet policy.   Taking Your Dog on the Train for the First Time Now that you know dogs are generally welcome on trains, let's explore some essential tips to ensure a stress-free and comfortable journey for both you and your canine companion. 1. Check the Train Service's Pet Policy Before embarking on your journey, visit the official website of the train service you plan to use. Familiarise yourself with their specific pet policy, including size restrictions, lead and muzzle requirements, and any additional charges. 2. Make a Reservation When traveling with your dog on a train, it's advisable to make a reservation. This helps ensure there is enough space for both you and your furry friend. Inform the train operator that you'll be traveling with a dog when booking your ticket. 3. Prepare Your Dog It's essential to prepare your dog for the train journey. Introduce your pet to the sights and sounds of the train station and use positive reinforcement to create a calm and stress-free atmosphere. Bring your dog's favourite toys and a comfortable blanket for added comfort. 4.Carry Essential Supplies Pack the following essentials for your dog's journey: Water and a portable bowl Dog food and treats Poop bags for clean-up Identification and vaccination documents First-aid kit 5. Choose the Right Seat Select a seat that's more spacious and comfortable for both you and your dog. Many train services have designated areas for passengers with pets, so inquire about these options when making your reservation. 6. Be Considerate of Other Passengers Remember that not everyone on the train may be as fond of dogs as you are. Keep your dog on a lead, and ensure they are well-behaved throughout the journey. Be respectful of other passengers by avoiding excessive barking or any disturbances. Traveling with your dog on a train for the first time can be a wonderful experience when approached with proper planning and knowledge. Dogs are generally allowed on trains, and the key to a successful journey lies in understanding and adhering to the specific pet policies of the train service you choose. Prepare your dog, carry essential supplies, and be considerate of other passengers to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip for both you and your furry friend. With the right preparation, your dog can become the perfect travel companion on the rails.

  • How To Cut Your Cat's Nails
    31.10.23 October 31, 2023 Health Featured

    How To Cut Your Cat's Nails

    Cats are graceful and majestic creatures, but their claws can sometimes become a source of concern for pet owners. Overgrown claws not only pose a risk to your furniture and skin but can also be uncomfortable for your feline companion. Learning how to cut your cat's nails can be a vital skill for every cat owner. In this guide, we will cover everything you need to know about cat claw trimming, from the tools required to the step-by-step process.   Key Tools for Cat Claw Trimming: Before we dive into the steps on how to cut your cat's nails, let's first discuss the essential tools you'll need: Cat Nail Clippers: Ensure you invest in a quality pair of cat nail clippers. The type with a guillotine-style or scissor-like design is commonly preferred. Look for a sharp, clean cutting edge. Styptic Powder: Accidents can happen, and you may accidentally cut the quick (the sensitive part of the nail). Styptic powder helps stop any bleeding quickly. Treats: These are essential to reward your cat for good behaviour during the nail trimming process. You could also try a licky mat with some liver paste on it for your cat to lick whilst you cut their nails   Understanding Cat Claws: Before you start trimming your cat's claws, it's essential to understand a bit about them. Cat claws are retractable and contain a sheath that should not be cut. The inner core of the claw is what you should focus on when trimming. Never trim into the pinkish area, as this is the quick and can be painful.   The Step-by-Step Guide to Cat Claw Trimming: Choose the Right Time: Pick a time when your cat is calm and relaxed, perhaps after a meal or a play session. Prepare the Area: Find a quiet and well-lit room. Have all your tools ready within arm's reach. Acquaint Your Cat: Gently pet and massage your cat's paws to make them comfortable with the sensation. Extend the Claw: Gently press your cat's paw pad to extend the claws. Cut Carefully: Use the cat nail clippers to snip the sharp tip of the claw, being careful not to cut the quick. Gradually trim one claw at a time. Be Cautious: If you're unsure, it's better to trim a smaller portion of the claw to avoid hitting the quick. Use Styptic Powder: If you accidentally cut the quick, apply styptic powder to stop the bleeding. Reward Your Cat: After each successful trimming session, reward your cat with treats and praise.   Should You Cut Your Cat's Claws? Trimming your cat's claws is essential for their health and your comfort. Cats with overgrown claws may experience difficulty walking, and they can unintentionally scratch and injure themselves. Furthermore, it prevents damage to your furniture and minimises the risk of injury to you and other household members.   Best Cat Clippers for Nails: When choosing cat clippers, opt for reputable brands known for their sharpness and durability. Our favourites include: The Charlie The Vet First Aid Kit - This great kit has over 40 items in it, including nail clippers and a styptic stick which are perfect for cutting your cat’s nails. The Catit Longhair Grooming Kit is a great choice if you have a long haired cat; it contains every tool you need to take care of your longhaired cat’s coat, as well as a pair of curved nail clippers! If you’re looking for a pair of nail clippers on their own then we’d recommend the Ancol Ergo Cat Nail Clippers   How To Care For Your Cat’s Nails You may not need to cut your cat’s nails with the right care. Outdoor cats, as well as indoor cats who love a scratch post, are less likely to need their nails cutting. For our top tips why not check out our cat claw guide? Learning how to cut your cat's nails is an essential skill for every cat owner. It not only ensures your cat's health and safety but also fosters a strong bond between you and your feline companion. Remember to be patient, take your time, and always prioritise your cat's comfort and safety. With the right tools and a gentle touch, you can successfully maintain your cat's claws and enjoy a harmonious coexistence.
