Back to Work? Time to Prepare Their Day! 💼🐾

The holidays are over, and as your routine changes, it's important to help your furry friend adjust to their solo time. Preventing boredom is key to preventing anxiety and destructive behaviour!

We've gathered practical ways to keep them mentally and physically engaged while you're away:

🧠 Enrichment Strategies:
The Puzzle Feeder: Ditch the bowl! Use puzzle balls, snuffle mats, or slow-feeders for meals. Making them "work" for food mimics natural foraging and uses up mental energy.

Frozen Kongs: Prepare high-value treats (like peanut butter, plain yogurt, or kibble mixed with water) inside a durable chew toy and freeze it. This can keep them busy for up to an hour!

Rotation is Key: Don't leave all the toys out every day. Rotate their favorite chews and interactive toys to keep them feeling "new" and exciting.

⏰ Routine & Wellness:
🚶‍♀️ Pre-Work Burn: Always schedule a brisk walk or an intense play session right before you leave. A tired pet is a calm pet! 🤫 Quiet Departure: Avoid making a big, emotional fuss when you leave or return, as this can heighten separation anxiety. Keep your exits and entrances low-key.

If you notice excessive pacing, howling, or destructive chewing, talk to your veterinarian. They can help identify underlying anxiety and discuss comprehensive support.

How to prepare your pet for holiday travel ✈️🚗

Are you taking advantage of Christmas to travel? If your furry friend is travelling with you, remember to plan everything related to their well-being and safety in advance. We don't want any last-minute surprises!

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

✅ Visit the vet beforehand
A few weeks before your trip, make an appointment with your trusted vet to check your pet's health. Make sure all vaccinations are up to date.

✅ Pack their luggage
Their suitcase is very important, so don't forget their food bowl, water bowl, usual food, toys, blanket, shampoo, brush, medication if they take any, or any other important items for your best friend.

✅ Safe transport
Depending on the type of transport, you may need to use a suitable carrier, harness, belt, etc., so find out in advance about the necessary safety requirements.

✅ Stops and rest breaks
If you are travelling by car and the journey is long, remember to take breaks every so often so that your dog can walk, relieve itself and drink water.

✅ Pet-friendly accommodation
Before booking accommodation, check that it accepts pets and has safe and comfortable spaces for them to stay.

Travel safely with your best friend this Christmas!

Our pets also deserve to enjoy holidays with us, but remember that above all we must offer them safety and peace of mind, so plan ahead and consult your vet if you have any questions!

How to choose the right bed or resting place for your pet?

We all need to sleep and rest properly 😴 Our furry friends too! Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing the perfect resting place for your dog or cat:

1️⃣ Bed size
Especially if your dog is large, keep in mind that they should be able to stretch out completely in their bed without their legs or head hanging off the edge. In winter, they usually like to sleep curled up, so a bed with rounded, soft edges will be perfect for them to feel more snug and cosy.

2️⃣ The material matters
Choose padded, breathable and easy-to-wash materials. In general, avoid beds that are too soft, and in the colder months, opt for those that are cosier and made of materials that better retain body heat.

3️⃣ Ideal location in the home
Place the bed in a quiet spot, away from draughts, direct sunlight and noise. Find the ideal place for your best friend to have a peaceful corner all to themselves. In the case of cats, keep in mind that they love heights, so don't forget to place a bed in an elevated area, such as on a shelf.

4️⃣ Consider the ambient temperature
In winter, add blankets or a warmer bed. In summer, choose cool fabrics or even offer your companion the option of enjoying a cooling mat.

5️⃣ Every age is different
Puppies and kittens love to feel cosy and snug, so cave beds are sure to become their favourites, while older animals appreciate beds that are easy to access and gentle on their joints, such as orthopaedic beds.

Where is your dog or cat's favourite place to sleep? Even if they have beds, they probably also like to sleep next to you, right? Tell us about it!

6 ways to make your Christmas tree 🎄 pet-proof

The most magical time of the year is here! 💫 But it's also the most dangerous time for our furry friends, as our homes are filled with lights, moving baubles, shiny ribbons... All of which are undoubtedly very tempting for curious dogs and cats.

Have you ever had an incident with your Christmas tree? Here are some tips to make this Christmas decoration safer:

✅ Choose a good location
Place the tree away from shelves, sofas or furniture from which cats can jump onto it. The less accessible it is, the lower the risk of accidents.

✅ Secure the base well
A sturdy stand will prevent the tree from falling if your cat tries to climb it or your dog pushes it while playing.

✅ Safe decorations
There are many types of decorations we can put on our Christmas tree, so if you have pets, avoid those made of glass or materials that can break, and opt for those made of fabric or cardboard, which are lightweight, cannot be broken, and have no sharp edges or small parts. If a decoration falls, the worst that can happen is that it will become another toy for your best friend, but it will not pose any risk to them.

✅ Cables out of reach
Lights look beautiful on the tree, but they can be very dangerous. Protect the cables with covers and try to install them in safe areas.

✅ No food or glitter
Garlands can be dangerous if swallowed or if your pet gets tangled up in them, so it's best to avoid them. The same goes for edible chocolate decorations. If your dog or cat eats them, it could mean an emergency trip to the vet, so it's best to keep sweets under lock and key at this time of year.

✅ Positive distraction
If your pet keeps snooping around the tree, you can give them a new toy to distract their attention. They deserve presents too.

Set up a Christmas tree that's safe for your pet!

Breed of the month: Golden Retriever

Who doesn't know a golden retriever? It is one of the most popular dog breeds, and its affectionate, playful and patient nature makes them wonderful life companions. Would you like to know some interesting facts about this breed?

The first specimens appeared in England in 1908 and were officially recognised by the Kennel Club in 1911 and by the American Kennel Club in 1925. Today, it is one of the most popular breeds in the world, with three variants: English, Canadian and American, which have minimal differences between them.

1️⃣ Its origin is British
The Golden Retriever was born in Scotland in the 19th century, following the interest of the first Baron of Tweedmouth in breeding dogs that could hunt in wet terrain, as he was fond of hunting birds in lakes and marshes.

2️⃣ Everyone's friend
Dogs of this breed have a sociable, sweet and balanced temperament. They are perfect for homes with children and other pets.

3️⃣ Water lovers
They were bred to thrive in water, so thanks to their waterproof coat, tail that acts as a rudder and webbed feet, swimming is not an activity they shy away from.

4️⃣ Health considerations
They can be prone to joint problems, such as hip or elbow dysplasia, and to becoming overweight, as they tend to be very greedy dogs. A proper diet and daily exercise are essential for maintaining their optimal weight.

✅ Origin: England
✅ Weight: 25-35 kg
✅ Height: 51-61 cm
✅ Life expectancy: 10 to 12 years

Do you share your life with a golden retriever? How would you describe your best friend? We want to hear from you!
