Dogs and chocolate don't mix

Most people are aware that human chocolate is poisonous to many dogs so remember to keep your Easter eggs out of their reach. Here's what the Dogs Trust says about it:

Chocolate meant for human consumption contains theobromine which can be lethal – the darker the chocolate the higher amounts of theobromine. Toxic doses vary according to the size of dog and cocoa solid content of the chocolate. Do contact your vets immediately if you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate intended for human consumption – especially if you see any of the following symptoms; vomiting, a sore abdomen, excessive thirst, excitability, drooling, slow heart rate or convulsions.

Endangered species

For all the wrong reasons, the lovely Jo Jo collar is going out of production.  Not because it isn't popular (people and dogs love it) and not because it isn't a tough, dog-proof collar (of course it is), but because the stud manufacturer is discontinuing the turquoise studs....

This means that when our current stocks are gone we won't be able to replace them.  So if you had been day-dreaming of purchasing a Jo Jo for your furry friend, we'd suggest you do so sooner rather than later.  We also have a few matching leads still in stock if you'd like the full set!

A chew-proof dog bed?!?

Most dogs chew, chew, chew - some just for a year or two, some their whole lives through...  Despairing owners, shredded bedding, worries about what Fido might or might not have 'ingested' (did you know that word before you got a dog?) - the list of problems is endless. Not to mention the ££££s your lovely mutt has munched.

So, do we have a solution? Of course we do!

 The Kuranda chew-proof dog bed...


... and for heavy dogs the aluminium-frame chew-proof dog bed.

These beds are not only guaranteed against destruction for 12 whole months, they also have replaceable parts that are very cheap to buy once the 12 month is up.  And they have other advantages:

  • Raised platform keeps dogs off hard and cold floors
  • Excellent orthopedic support
  • Super-comfy for lounging and sleeping
  • Lightweight - easy to move around
  • Easy to clean - hose, shower, cloth or bucket
  • Great for use in the home or the kennel
  • Sizes from Toy to XXL
Feel free to add blankets, cushions, duvets for dogs that don't chew!  Kuranda beds range in price from £69.95 to £139.95
