Safety Reflective Jackets As the nights draw in and summer is a distance memory, people start to adapt to the shorter days and as we have had some requests for hivis jackets we thought we had better get the dogs on the case and try a few out. After a lot of night-time walking and cutting back on carrots, (we didn't want our eyesight improved in any way!) this is what we thought of the ones we tried out. Kurgo Reflect and Protect Active Dog Vest On first impressions it didn't excite us, it appeared very lightweight and didn't cover all of Cocoa's body and although the colour of the vest is orange, it isn't that bright. The fabric is rain...
It's very interesting doing the shows and being on our stand, in the quieter periods I get to partake in one of my favourite pastimes of people watching and trying but never succeeding in understanding the strange phenomenon that we call the human race. One of the things that seems to be the most common is the ongoing argument between men and women concerning the colour of their dog collar. RED DINGO produce some very lovely DOG COLLARS, they are hard wearing, they are extremely easy to clip on and off, the sizes are very adjustable and they wash really well, I found this out after Luca had a lovely sheep poo rolling session. This isn't what attracts people to...
Yes, I know it's only early September and I'm doing an article about DOG COATS, however, after last weeks constant rain, I don't think many people would argue with me that a DOGS RAINCOAT is still important at this time of year. Cocoa uses the ANCOL STORMGUARD JACKET. It's easy to pop on over her head with a chest and tummy strap that fastens securely with Velcro underneath her tummy, and up her side with two elasticated rear leg straps to ensure a snug and complete fit. I think the JACKETS are not overly expensive but of a good quality as they are well made, they are also machine washable which is always a bonus, isn't it? This particular...
I was sitting at the traffics lights the other day and a van pulled up along side me, to my delight a British Bulldog was sitting in the front seat (a Spike look-a-like) with the window down and he very kindly put his head out for me and gave me a big grin, (the bulldog not the driver), however I then realised that he had no CAR HARNESS on and no restraint, so it got me thinking, what are the actual laws in the UK for DOG CAR TRAVEL? After doing a little research on it I was quite frankly amazed that they are not more stringent. The only thing that I could find quoted is by the Highway Code, rules...
DOG TOYS are a very tricky business, if you are anything like me you are always on that constant search for the ever elusive INDESTRUCTIBLE TOY, in the past it was only ever the KONG that came close to this brief however recently I have come across another company that is standing up to Spikes high level of toy testing! STARMARK ACADEMY is the largest most COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING, BEHAVIOUR AND EVENT CENTRE in the USA, in fact I think the world and they specialise in understanding how DOGS THINK, PLAY AND LEARN. Using this knowledge they then developed STARMARK PET PRODUCTS, which are a unique range of INTERACTIVE PLAY TOYS, TRAINING TOOLS AND TREATS that helps CREATE MENTAL STIMULATION and...
