If we said the words “dog care” to you, what comes to mind? The chances are, what you think of won’t necessarily be what someone else thinks of… and that’s because this is an umbrella term that covers a plethora of different areas.
At the heart of dog care lies health – ensuring your dog is healthy is vital, acting as the foundation to which everything else then follows. Just like humans, there are lots of ways to tell whether your dog is healthy, from their general demeanour to how much they weigh and even the type of bowel movements they have. If you have any concerns about the health of your dog, we recommend you seek advice from a qualified veterinarian, who will be able to advise you on the best course of action.
You know your dog best, so you’ll likely instantly know when something is amiss. What is normal for your canine companion won’t necessarily be normal for another. Chewing is a pastime many dogs enjoy and can help with keeping their teeth clean (and breath smelling fresh!), act as a way by which dogs cope with teething (if they are puppies when you first get them) or even to alleviate boredom. For pearly whites, dog style, the KONG Dental Stick Medium will gently clean teeth and gums, with the patented Dental-Ridges acting to reduce plaque. If you think your furry friend is in need of something to do, why not try our Gor Rubber Super Giggle Bones, which are textured, create a giggling sound when used and can withstand even the most determined of chewers? Or why not give the KONG Extreme X-Large a go? Add a favourite treat and watch your dog spend endless hours chewing away, keeping them happy and entertained.
Talking about favourite treats, a big part of dog care is arguably food, and with so many brands out there to choose from, it may seem overwhelming when it comes to making the right decision for your canine friend. When your dog is a puppy, food designed especially for little tummies is going to be a good choice. To get you started, you may wish to look into the Natures Menu Original Puppy Chicken with Lamb food pouches we stock, or perhaps the Forthglade Complete Grain free Puppy Duck & Vegetables complete meal option is more what you’re looking for? Don’t worry if you’ve passed the puppy stage though, as we’ve got a wide range of dog foods to suit all appetites. Take a look here to browse the entire range for yourself.
