You don't need us to tell you about the mess and mishaps that can occur on a dog walk and it’s for this reason we always carry some form of hand sanitiser wherever we go.

When you give a dog a chew bone, you're doing a lot more than just giving him something to chew on. You are giving them something that will satisfy their urge to chew and relieve boredom. Not unlike humans, dogs get bored. A carefully chosen chew treat can entertain your dog for hours and keep their mind stimulated, which is good for dogs of all ages, especially older dogs that may not be as active. Some dogs can even find chewing soothing, especially if they are in a stressful situation.With the this in mind we have pulled together some of our favourite all-natural chews;

Sniffaris let dogs be dogs, it’s distinctly different in mindset than taking your dog out for an average walk for exercise. This style of walk is great for your dog’s quality of life and their mood; Sniffing is the most mentally stimulating activity for a dog. Sure, walks are important for exercise, but dogs aren’t reaping all the benefits unless they are allowed to sniff as well. A dog getting mental exercise is just as important as a physical workout; however you will need to be mindful that you may be left standing for long periods of time while your dog is taking everything in so be patient and maybe bring a coffee along.
