Our new and improved crate mats! Why did we choose artificial grass? - we did this for a few reasons:
🐾 Easier to clean & keep clean
🐾 Doesn’t absorb liquids (or any nasties 💩)
🐾 Looks brighter, fresher & more “on brand”
🐾 Better fitted to the crates - so no slipping for the pups!
🐾 No bad smells so fresher air for your pets!
Looking forward to your pups trying out the new crates!

Trying out our new portable pet washer! Definitely a must have for anyone who works with dogs! (Or has a mud magnet like I do 😂)
What do we actually do when it’s too hot to walk your dog?
It’s a lot more than just sitting there & watching your dog or letting them go to the toilet (although that is a part of it) - here are some things we do to give your pup that much needed break during their day:
- Mental enrichment games eg: ”find it”
- Puzzle toys
- Water play
- Calming activities / mental enrichment eg: lick matts
- Indoor play eg: tug, fetch etc.
- Training fun eg: reinforcing tricks, learning new skills etc. 🐾
What do we do on hot days? Turn on the hose 😂💦
Still working hard on our heel work 😁🐕

☀️🌤Since it’s going to be too hot to walk your dogs this weekend please use mental enrichment as an alternative! (As well as a late afternoon or early morning walk if you can). Here are some mental enrichment ideas that you can do at home without having to buy any expensive toys:
- “Find it” - hide your pets favourite treats around the house / garden and get them to sniff them out (the smellier the better 🤢😂)
- “Toilet roll treats” - This can be done using any sort of cardboard container, simply place some treats inside the container - close it - then watch your pup destroy or try to open it to get to the treats! 👏🏼
- “Lick it” - This can be done using things like yogurt, pet safe peanut butter etc. Simply use your pets food bowl & spread your pups favourite spreadable treat around it & let them lick it all off! Bonus points if you also freeze it to make it last a bit longer & help keep them cool ❄️
- “Treat bobbing” - Use a bowl or other kind of container, fill with water, then Chuck in some of your pups favourite treats! You can also freeze them into ice cubes (or Chuck in ice cubes in addition to the treats) to keep them extra cool! 💧
These are only a few ideas but there are many MANY more ideas & things you can do to keep your pup happy indoors without having to spend any money at all! Please do not walk your dog if it is too hot for them & please also be aware of the signs of heatstroke (if you suspect your pet has heatstroke DO NOT attempt any of the above games containing ice - this can send them into shock)
Have a fun weekend everyone & stay safe! 🐶🐾
