Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy some quality time with your furry best friend! Whether you’re exploring new trails, splashing in the water, or relaxing in the shade, there are countless ways to make the most of the sunshine with your dog. Here are some ideas for fun, safe, and enriching summer activities that will keep tails wagging all season long.
Selecting the right food for our furry companion is one of the most important decisions we make in regards to their health. Whether you provide your dog with dry food, wet food, raw food or home-cooked food - the healthiest diet should ensure all the nutrients needed for growth, maintenance, repair and general well-being. Malnutrition occurs in cases where the dog receives an unbalanced diet. Prevention is better than cure, and a wholesome, balanced diet combined with regular exercise, love and care can maintain our dog’s health from puppyhood through to “the golden age”.
As the festive season draws near, we find ourselves surrounded by loved ones, delicious food, and festive cheer. It’s a time for indulgence and generosity, and often, our furry family members are right by our side, hoping for a taste of the holiday feast. With their big, pleading eyes, it’s easy to give in and slip them a little treat. But while we may feel like we’re spoiling them, sharing those rich leftovers can do more harm than good. One thing we especially need to watch out for during the festive season is pancreatitis.
If you’ve ever noticed your dog scooting across the floor or paying extra attention to their rear end, you might be witnessing signs of anal gland issues. While it’s not the most pleasant topic, understanding this common problem is essential for maintaining your dog's comfort and health. In this blog we will cover everything you need to know about anal glands: their function, why they can become problematic, signs of issues, and how to treat and prevent them.
Did you know that over 80% of dogs show signs of dental disease by the age of three? Just like other parts of the body, the mouth and teeth are affected by age and general wear and tear. Factors such as anatomy, the immune system, nutrition, brushing, genetic disposition and accidents can all affect oral and dental health in different ways.
Obesity is first and foremost a lifestyle disease, and the most common preventable disease in dogs. The sad truth is that just a body weight that is 10% above your dog's ideal weight decreases its lifespan by one-third and predisposes him/her to serious health problems.
Grooming is a fundamental aspect of dog ownership that goes far beyond aesthetics. It plays a crucial role in maintaining your dog's overall health and well-being. Regular grooming enhances the condition of your dog's skin, fur, teeth, gums, eyes, and ears, and provides an opportunity to quickly detect any signs of physical issues like lumps, scratches, tics, rashes etc. A healthy and fit dog is attentive and active, with glossy, fragrant fur, clean ears, clear eyes, and pleasant breath.
Spring is a wonderful time to spend outdoors with your dog, and South Africa is brimming with natural beauty. Milder temperatures and vibrant landscapes create the perfect setting for hiking, trail running and exploring. To ensure that both you and your dog get the most out of the spring season, it’s important to be prepared with the right training, gear, nutrition, and safety measures. Here are some tips for a safe and active spring with your furry friend.
As a pet owner, your dog's safety and well-being are top priorities. While you may already have a first aid kit for your family, it's equally important to have one specifically for your furry friend. Having a dog-specific first aid kit, along with the knowledge of how to administer first aid to a dog, can provide peace of mind and ensure that you're prepared to handle emergencies quickly and effectively.
