Boris on Wheels

I recently ordered an InnoPet dog stroller for Boris as he's missing out on so much whilst he's on restricted exercise due to his elbow injury. To start with I set up in the garden with everything open and the brakes on so that Boris could get in and out of it under his own steam and explore it at his own pace, Boris soon made himself quite at home

Boris is crate trained so I wasn't at all worried about whether he'd get in or not, but I wanted Boris to feel safe and secure in it before I started

Why we Feed Paleo Ridge Raw Dog Food

We've been feeding Paleo Ridge raw dog food for approx 5 years now after our vet reccomended changing Boris onto a raw diet due to his Staph Pseudintermedius skin problem

The Staph Pseudintermedius Bacteria had caused much of Boris's coat to fall out and left him with open sores filled with pus, it was extremely painful for him and for over a year he'd endured daily medicated baths, various steroids and so many different types of antibiotics plus numerous blood and skin tests

Nothing seemed to help for long and relief was often short lived, until one day

Why we love the Vidivet App

Approx 18 months ago we saw a post about a start up app that wanted to help pets and were looking for beta testers, we jumped at the chance to trial it and help to work out any gremlins that may be lurking before it was launched

Vidivet has been designed, tested and built by veterinary professionals alongside other volunteers like myself to improve access and affordability to veterinary expertise whenever you need it

Anything you want to know about your pet they're there for you, I've learnt so much more about Boris's rare auto immune problem with his Staph Pseudintermedius Bacteria from Ben our vet at Vidivet who explained it all in a way that was clear and easy for me to understand

Have you ever noticed how dogs have a real knack of becoming unwell or getting injured at the most inconvenient times, which is usually

February Collar Club Box

We absolutely loved our February Collar Club Subscription Box as ever we were not disappointed with our wonderful Aladdin's Cave of Valentines goodies inside

We've been getting a Collar club box every month for about two years now and absolutely love them, so much so that we jumped at the chance to become Brand Ambassadors because it's a small business with the ethos and ethics that we believe in.

Wet Start to November

WOW what a wet start we've had to November!

Not that we mind being spaniels of course, but mum isn't a fan of  the wet weather at all **muffled giggles behind paws**

Puppy Art Critic ~ Pet Blogger Hop

I took my hoomans out for an educational trip last weekend, but I don't think they paid much attention to my critique, they just kept chatting and pointing at things then walking on.

We went to the Sculpture Park in Churt, Surrey. Every time we go, there are new things to see. The weather was warm, but as we were in the woods it made the day just right.

There were lots of secluded ponds, and I was disappointed that my hoomans wouldn't let me go for a quick swim. As you an see the water was very inviting.

Fox Poop (yuck) ~ I have found the solution!

Fox Poop is thoroughly disgusting, but the sad fact of life is that most of our canine friends find that smell totally intoxicating!!! 

That awful smell just lingers on and on. No matter what you bathe your dog in, there is always the faintest whiff just waiting to catch you unawares!

In our house it has become an almost everyday occurrence with Badger Boo! As you can imagine it is a nightmare to live with (the smell not the dog). I've tried everything, even resorted to washing him with tomato ketchup.
