Dog Heath & Winter Weather

Dog Health & Winter Weather

Winter is well and truly with us and we need to look out for our dogs & pets during this time.

There are many ways in which we can keep and eye on our dogs during this time.

* Your dogs coat and diet may change just like you and I.  Their winter coat should appear and may require more brushing and tending than normal.  Their diet needs may chance also and you might find that your dog eats more of a certain food during this time.  We all know dogs love to eat but be away of their needs and requirements and help ensure a balance and healthy diet.

* Exercise and walks may be disrupted by rain and snow.  Many dogs are happy and enjoy running outside in winter, but some dogs do require that extra helping hand.  A waterproof dog coat for those wet, snowy days is ideal and widely available from Barking Mad Clothing is ideal and for those cold winter nights a dog jumper and sweater is ideal.  Even the bigger dogs may require a little extra help during the winter months.  All dog owners need to be aware of safety when walking your dog.  Often in winter there are dull foggy damp days when visibility is poor.  We have available some great lightweight and fleece lined hi vis / safety dog coats available for all dog breeds.  Please keep your dog safe and on a lead if near a frozen lake or pond.  Even the most well behaved dog can find the frozen pond / lake attractive.

* If dog walking in the snow there may be salt on the roads and paths.  This can be very uncomfortable for dogs.  Don't forget to wash your dogs feet once home from the walk and wash away any salt that could irritate your dogs pads and feet.

* If you have any further tips for looking after your dog during the winter period we would love to hear from you

Pet Insurance

 

Pet Insurance the Pros & Cons

As pet owners I am sure you are aware of the importance of #pet insurance, if not a large bank account to cover all costs of keeping our four legged friends fit and healthy (other animals too).

 So how do we choose a 'good' insurance company from a 'bad' insurance company and what is covered and for how long?  Do we have multi cover and save money or will this cost money in the long run? So many questions to ask and be answered. 

I came across this pet blog which i hope you find useful.  It compares many pet insurance companies, most of which offer life time cover.  We would love to know what you think and maybe some personal stories of companies or perhaps some recommendations.

Firewoks & Your Pets

Fireworks & Your Pets 

This time of year the fireworks and celebration season is upon us. Many of us have pets and worry about their safety at this time of year.  We have a few simple steps that might helps keep your pets secure and safe during this time.

1. Try and keep your pets indoors away from fireworks, loud bangs and bonfires.
2. Try and walk your #dog before dark. 
3. Try and ensure your #cat is at home and all your outdoor pets are safe and secure.
4. If you can be at home during this time to keep your pets company we are sure they would appreciate the comfort and security at home.
5.  Let your #pet feel comfortable at home and let them choose where they feel comfortable.
6. Perhaps a little distraction during this time would help, ie perhaps a treat toy or perhaps a  cat nip toy.
 7. If your pets are still finding the hole 'fireworks experience' distressing it might be worth a quick visit to the vets as we are sure they will be able to assist with either light medication or perhaps calming techniques which will help reassure your animals.

We hope your find these practical tips useful and if you have any further comments we would love to hear from you and please feel free to leave a comment.

Greyhounds

Greyhound Dog Coats

Autumn is upon us and we are striding into Winter.  Greyhound dogs make great pets and are very loyal and caring.  People may think these lovely dogs take hours and hours of walking daily, however, often they do not.  Many of these dogs are happy to stretch their legs in the garden and have one walk a day.  These dogs often feel the cold which is why you see many Greyhounds on walks with their coats on.  

We are very pleased to offer some great discounts on these greyhound dog coats with 10% off RRP 

We have a great range of coats from the warm & waterproof to the general everyday use.  Why not check us out and see what you think? These greyhound coats start from as low as £13.90, wow that can't be bad.

 


If you have any comments regarding our coats or general Greyhound comments, ie where you like to walk your dog, funny stories etc we would love to hear from you
