DID YOU KNOW? A dog’s sense of smell is over 100,000 times more developed than a human’s? Dogs can also smell in 3D and some breeds have keener noses than others.
The latest of our “lock in” dog training events included a session on scent-work.
Here’s Fi and Tally making short work of it!
We could make good use of the dogs in store to locate lost pens and clipboards whilst we are replenishing the shelves 😄

WCF PENRITH “LOCK IN” dog training events are back !
6-12 May is DOG ANXIETY AWARENESS WEEK!
As tourist season is fast upon us with the May Bank Holidays and the summer holidays soon approaching we thought we would revisit the theme of socialising your dog in a busy world of people !
Along with esteemed local dog trainer Jen Cartmel from Clever Dogs we will be holding 6 “lock in” dog training events through May and June where groups of dogs will be put through a series of tasks devised to help them and their owners cope with everyday events. The exercises will include
🐾 Meet and greet
🐾 Sit and wait
🐾 Weigh in
🐾 Harness fitting
🐾 Recall down the “aisle of temptation “
🐾 Send away
🐾 Scent discrimination
🐾 Pet shopping list sweep
Our first event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday 14 May ! Tune in to see how we get on !

Keep Your Pets Safe and Happy this Easter
🌟🐾 Keep Your Pets Safe and Happy this Easter with WCF! 🐰🌷
As Easter approaches, let's ensure our pets are included in the festivities while prioritising their safety! 🐶🐱 Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
🚫🍫 Keep chocolate out of reach! It's toxic to dogs and cats. Make sure everyone understands this rule, including children and visitors. Even a small amount can be harmful!
🐾🐕 If you're hosting an Easter egg hunt, always keep your dog on-lead and supervise closely. Let's prevent any accidental chocolate discoveries!
🥐 Hot Cross Buns, a traditional Easter treat, often contain raisins, currants, or sultanas, all of which are toxic to cats and dogs. Keep them out of reach, especially if your pets are left unsupervised.
🌿 Easter grass, commonly used for decorating baskets, may contain harmful plastic materials if ingested by pets. Consider using safer alternatives like tissue paper and ensure all decorations are inaccessible to pets.
🌸 Be cautious with Easter plants like lilies and daffodils. Lilies contain toxins that can lead to kidney failure in cats, even from a small ingestion. Daffodils' poisonous alkaloids can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and excessive salivation. Keep them away from curious pets, especially the bulbs!
Let's ensure our Easter celebrations are filled with love, joy, and safety for our beloved companions! Visit your local store now to shop our range of treats and toys that are perfectly safe for your pet to enjoy! 🐾💖

Those horrid elves have put a spell on poor Balty and Sunny!
First they bought them some feed and went to the yard to “help “ and then when they gained the poor horses’ trust they shrunk them so they could ride them away !
Does anybody know how to reverse spells ?
After a long summer out at grass our elves have had to spend November getting fit for purpose. Now it’s December they’ve made their way back in to store and they’ve already been upto no good !
