I have had two very lovely ladies come to see me and try on a .suits fleece for Winter warmth when out and about and cozy snuggles at home.
I think we can all agree they look fabulous and pretty in pink 🐾😍

Ohh I love what we do seeing these tails all happy and wagging is the best part of my day!!

From our doghouse to to yours 🐾❤️🐾

There is a new doggie in town, not as cute as our Hugo, but we are biased. Hello Sheppy!!!

Take good care of your doggie this December, especially now they are out gritting the roads. Check on those paws!!!

December is right around the corner, and like us, our pets might need a little extra TLC over the winter months. ❤️ Here are some common winter hazards to look out for to keep your pet happy and safe:

🔐 Accidentally locking pets out. Not realising that our pets have followed us out of the back door has happened to the best of us, but in winter, it's even more important to make sure they can stay safe and warm inside.
❄️ Antifreeze and de-icer. Both are incredibly toxic for animals and can kill them. Keep antifreeze out of the reach of pets and clean up any spills thoroughly.
🥀 Poisonous plants. Festive favourites like holly, ivy and poinsettia are all toxic to pets if they eat them. Keep them out of your pet's reach, or use artificial plants to decorate your home.
🥶 Snowy paws. Snow can build up on a pet's paws and cause discomfort, so prepare paws by keeping hair between pads trimmed so there's less hair for the snow to gather on.
🚘 Sheltering cats. Cats often shelter under cars or will even climb inside the bonnet beside a warm engine. Always check your vehicle for visitors or knock on the bonnet before you start it.
🧂 Salt and grit. Wash your pet's paws if they come into contact with salt and grit, as it can be irritating. Applying a thin layer of paw butter to your dog's pads could also help protect them from drying out or cracking.

Here at The doghouse Kendal one thing we are passionate about is feeding your doggie natural, good quality treats with no hidden nasties!!

Feeding your dog quality natural treats can make the world of difference, from helping digestion, improve and maintain healthy coat and skin, improved energy levels, dental health, keeping your dog calm, mental and brain stimulation the list goes on.

What you fed them is vital to their health and well being.

Lucky for all you lovely hoomans we stock only the best for your dog such as Green & Wilds, Denzel's, K2 Yakers and our range of natural treats.

The cold weather is officially here!!!

If your dog feels a bit like our Hugo in picture 1, would rather stay in bed all cosy and refusing to move, then you need a 2 legged fleece from Pawsome Suits stocked right here in The Doghouse Kendal on Market Place.

These fantastic fleeces are water resistant, breathable and keep your dog dry and warm, perfect for the winter months. They also help keep the mud and mess to a minimum, it is easier to pop these in the wash at 30 than to have to wash your dog!!

Plus if your dog is a harness wearer no need to worry about leaky harness holes in coats just pop your harness over the top of the fleece and you are ready to roll whether you are going through the town or up on the fells!!

Pop in to see for yourself and try one on for size.
From our doghouse to yours...keeping dogs dry and warm this winter.

🐾🐾🐾Have made it in….now open…hoping everyone involved in the accident this morning is okay 🐾🐾🐾

Dropping Hugo off this morning up the Lyth Valley and got stuck in the A591 crash traffic….have retreated to mum and dad’s in Heversham for a quick brew before heading back to Kendal to let the traffic calm down so will be opening the shop soon!!

Sorry for any inconvenience!

We have these fabulous coats in store, pop in to try one on!!!

Remember, remember on the 5th of November...to wrap your dog up safely, securely and snugly in their Drying Coats.

Dogs feel comforted by the swaddling effect of the coat, and it helps them get through the evening if they are scared of loud bangs and flashes.

This great poster was put up by Vets for Pets and sent to us from a friend of Laura's.

We are going to use this tonight as Hugo gets really upset by Halloween costumes, so we are putting this up and not answering the door. Please be respectful if someone has a poster on the door or has the lights out.

For lots of people this time of the year is stressful and causes anxiety so if someone does not come to the door please be respectful and leave them alone!!!

31/10/2023

oh definitely going to give this a try!!

Great advise and guide for the next week!!!
