Crufts, what are your views?

Crufts, what are your views?

Well crufts is almost upon us and for many it can be the highlight of the year, but what do you really think?  Is is just somewhere for dog breeders to 'show off' their best in breed or do you think a show like this can help highlight and promote not only dog breeds that are in danger but highlight our love of these lovely animals.

We would love to hear from you with your comments.

Rescue Dogs

Rescue Dogs

As an avid user of twitter we often come across organization and charities who rescue and shelter dogs before they find their forever home.  We would like to give these organizations and the families who have rescued dogs either long term or short term an opportunity to add some comments, advertise their charity and to tell the world what a rewarding opportunity it is to rescue and re-home a dog.  A dog is not just a dog, they are family!

We have come a cross Rochdale Rescue on twitter, a great organization "We work very hard to help dogs that are picked up as strays and are at risk of PTS. We take the dogs on to other reputable rescues or bring them into our care." rochdale-dog-rescue.com

   

   

    

 
If you can help with any of these lovely dogs please contact 
rochdale-dog-rescue.com

If you have a rescue organization relating to pets please feel to add your details, we would love to hear from you.

Holidays with your Dog

Holidays with your Dog

If you have a dog, they are just not a dog, they are a family, right?  I have read many comments recently of people finding it a little difficult to go on holiday with their dog.  Either the accommodation is not suitable or simply 'no dogs' allowed.  There are many dog friendly places around the country that offer great accommodation for you and your dog.  We have found two websites that offer great advise.

Dogsinvited  & yourdogholidays both offer some great advise, accommodation options and regional guides for attractions, activities and special offers.

We have also found Twitter a great resource for either a one off holiday with your dog or accommodation for your dog while your go off on your travels.

If you have any comments regarding holidays with your dog both possitive or negative we would love to hear from you.

Your Dog & Fitness

Your Dog & Fitness

It's that time of year again when we all start to think about our health and fitness.  We are all looking to burn off that access chocolate and over indulgence and perhaps that will include your four legged family member who has had a few tip bits to many.  So, why not include your #dogs health & fitness with yours? 

There are many fitness and training classes out there for dog lovers and owners.  Many classes not only teach the dog owners obedience and training but enjoy activities, perhaps over assult causes, walks in the park or woodland.

 
Thanks to Google Images for the above image
 
So lets have a few tips on keeping health and active with your dog...

* Perhaps always keep safety and health at the for front of your mind.  Keep yourself healthy and safe and the same applies to your dog.  If in doubt please consult a doctor and vet.
* Make your activities fun and enjoyable.  If you enjoy your activities then the chance is that your dog will also be enjoying themselves and having fun.
* Plan indoor activities for these wet, cold winter months.  Your activities will become a habit, a good habit and you will continue to enjoy yourself in the summer months to come.
* Start a fresh with food that has been hanging around for a while.  This applies to yourself and your dog.  Start off as you mean to go on.  There are some great companies out there that offer quality dog food at reasonable cost, with great nutritional value and advice.  Check out #twitter for some great companies.

If you have any comments or suggestions we would love to hear from you

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).  

Daisy, the Great Dane having fun outside

 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.
