Why Choose Meaty Treats?

The human’s are always rambling on about how they want to feed us dogs more natural treats. I mean I’m not going to complain because I just love treats – and these naturally meaty treats are just delicious. But I keep trying to tell them why they should reward me with high meat dog treats more often because they are simply made with 100% natural ingredients as well as being super scrummy.

How to Stop Your Puppy From Biting

You’ve got a new furry best friend and they’re as cute as a button, but those pearly white canine teeth can be very sharp, and pups sure do like to explore things with their mouths. Fortunately, we’ve got a few tips on how to stop your puppy from biting. Until now, your little pupper will have been playing with his litter-mates, and that sort of play often involves the odd nip. As your new sidekick grows, he needs to learn not to treat you like a puppy chew toy. Fortunately for you (and your fingers) it’s quite a simple process. Remember, there’s a big difference between a nip during playtime and a proper bite. Unless your doggo is very scared or in pain, you can safely assume they don’t mean any harm. Shiny new teeth can have sharper edges than those of an older dog, so it doesn’t take much pressure for them to break the skin. Here’s how to stop a puppy from biting!

How to Introduce a Dog to a Cat

Thinking about mixing things up and introducing a kitty to your household – or perhaps you’re getting a canine sibling for an existing cat?

What Does a Stressed Dog Look Like?

We all want to make sure our four-legged friends are as happy as can be, but how do you know when something is bothering them? Dogs can’t talk, but they certainly know how to express themselves. From the tips of their tails to their big wet noses, you can learn a lot about your dog’s anxiety and emotions just by watching their body language. Our canine companions just want an easy life, but however hard you try, sometimes they will become stressed. Dogs can be overtired, frustrated, scared or confused – just like us. When a dog is stressed, they are much less likely to follow instructions, and some types of stress – such as fear – can cause dogs to act aggressively in order to scare off whatever is bothering them.
