Newflands’ Hoki Oil is a fish-flavoured liquid oil that is easily digested and can be pumped directly into your pet’s food. We love our dogs like our children and want them to live a long and happy life. Whilst we strive to keep them healthy, our pets can get numerous issues including skin allergies or joint mobility problems. As we know, giving medicine or supplements to our dogs or cats (in the form of a powder or tablet) can be a real challenge! WHAT IS IN NEWFLANDS' HOKI OIL?

The new KeepSafe Break-Away Collar by PetSafe is a clever little device that can save animals lives. Sadly many dogs needlessly die every year from strangulation when their collar gets caught whilst their owner is out. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), upwards of   26,000 collar strangulation accidents occur each yearly in homes and establishments around the country !  "A survey of veterinarians, trainers and doggy daycares found that more than 50% of pet professionals have experienced a collar-related accident with a dog . The number one most common way these accidents occur is when dogs are playing together and one gets snagged in the collar." This has happened to us a few times as our two Malinois love having a rumble and can easily get tangled in each other’s collars.  Luckily, we were around each time to set them free… Of course, you should also never leave a dog tethered in your backyard unattended ! Tethered dogs can wrap themselves ...

The Kong Genius range of toys can be filled with treats to keep your dog engaged, occupied and out of mischief! They can also be interlocked to make a more difficult puzzle. Kong is a classic brand of dog toys, well known for their indestructible products but please note that this range is purely aimed at average strength chewers. THE KONG GENIUS LEO The Kong Genius Leo  is named in honour of Leonardo Da Vinci and is designed to stimulate a dog’s curiosity and hold its attention. The Genius range of toys aims to help combat boredom and separation anxiety . It’s a little odd looking: the toy is shaped like a vase with three separate openings. There is a cross indent on the bottom as well as the side surface. The spout also has a hole/tube inside, which you can use for feeding (small) treats into the toy. You can use the Leo as a treat dispensing toy on its own. I t can also be easily connected to other toys in the range - like the Genius Mike - to make a more difficult puzzle. The...

The Stockman Series™ 'Premier' Original is a waterproof dog coat designed by Australian company Pet Protector Hunter Valley . Founder Karen Stevenson was fed  up with coats that would constantly slip off her active dogs so she created  an entire range of dog coats that will stay on, keep your dogs warm and last from one winter season into the next.  Shouldn't all dog coats fulfill these simple requirements?  Sadly many don't, as they are manufactured poorly overseas using velcro straps or fasteners that wear out quickly... WHAT WE LIKE The outer shell of the Stockman Series™ 'Premier' Original dog coat is made from premium quality 600 Denier Cordura which will keep your pooch dry. The 200gsm polyester fill provides an insulating layer to keep out the cold air. A cosy soft fleecy inner lining was added to provide extra comfort. Our favourite feature (and a massive improvement on coats we trialled in the past) is the attached belly band which enabled me to sec...
