🚫 MYTH: Dry food is sufficient to keep my pet's teeth clean.
✅️ FACT: There is currently no evidence that dry food has teeth-cleaning benefits. It's not enough on its own. Regular brushing, certain chews and professional cleanings are vital for optimal health.

3 signs your rabbit loves you 🐰
As a prey species, it can be difficult to spot signs of affection that your rabbit gives you. Here’s what to look out for ⏬
💗 Binkying: This is where your rabbit will suddenly run, leap, and twist in the air! Sit back and enjoy the show.
💗 If your rabbit just flops out, fully stretched out, this means they’re super relaxed and feel unthreatened around you.
💗 A little headbutt, rub or nudge against you is them looking for some loving attention.
Bonus points if you can share some of the above signs of love with us in the comments!

How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬
💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you!
💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most.
💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it.
These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞
#ValentinesDay
They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬
💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat!
💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets
💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals.
💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love!
Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽

Arthritis is progressive, and it is not curable, but there are several ways to improve comfort and help your cat or dog to lead a full and active life.
Has your pet slowed out on walks? Have they stopped going up the stairs or on furniture? Are they slow getting up from their bed? Or, changed their sleeping spot? These can all be signs of arthritis.

How does your dog greet you?
Bark? Bumwag? Playtime?
