🌿 Ingredient Spotlight: Neem Oil🌿

Neem oil is a heavy hitter when it comes to the benefits it offers to dogs.

Fighting infections (fungal and bacterial), killing and protecting against parasites, and being a boss at soothing itchy skin... It's no wonder it features in both my Nose and Paw balm AND the Ear cleansing oil!

Do any of these things affect your dog?

21/06/2022

What a weekend at Dogfest!

New products getting a great reaction, plenty of hugs, love, and kisses from gorgeous doggos of every kind, chatting away with their humans to help them find natural products to help their fur babies... PH and let's not forget: Selfies galore! 😍😍

Thank you to everyone who came to stop by the stand, you truly made our weekend 🥰🥰

Now it's time to get prepped for our next, details posted later this week.

Which other dog shows would Monty's Mate make a great addition to?? Let me know 👇

18/06/2022

We're here at Tatton Park and can't wait to meet you all!

The stand is in the corner near the Big Dog Walk, and all the food stands.

Are you attending this weekend? Say hi in the comments!

16/06/2022

2 more sleeps until at Tatton Park!

The Monty's stand will be right near the Breed Meet up area, Big Dog Walk, and the Live Stage.

Also right near the catering stands so don't be alarmed if you catch me stuffing my face 😜😂

Who's coming this weekend?

05/06/2022

The weather wasn't really on our side today but we still managed to see a few familiar faces and some new ones. We'll definitely be back next year for Bulldog Day.

Big thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come and see us ❤️

05/06/2022

New trailer set up and keeping us dry today at Bulldog Day Uk ❤️

05/06/2022

Early start today for our first ever Bulldog Day at Newark Show Ground 11am-4pm

All the lads of the house are still snoring but I'm excited to see all those gorgeous squishy faces!

All breeds welcome so pop down and check it out. No need to worry about the weather, there are inside stalls, and my NEW stall set up will give you a place to shelter 😁😁 pics to follow

Who doesn't love a good Makers Market haul?

Giving a big to three lovely makers we met today:
frank.barkery - Cakes, biscuits and donuts for dogs? Errmmm... It's a yes from Monty and Major! The owner (who's a chef) was so knowledgeable and helpful too 😁

- lots of natural treats, chews, eco friendly toys and accessories galore. The stall was 💯 my cup of tea and I just know the boys will love the Venison and Duck sticks.

- not dog related hut it's Bank Holiday and who doesn't like a tipple on a bank holiday Sunday?? Plus, anyone who know me knows I like my whiskey and the fruity English Whiskey was so nice I had to have a little bottle!

Definitely worth giving these fab businesses a follow and check out for more dates and places that these markets are on.

Winning tactics for healthy, happy paws 👇

Your doggos paws do some serious work. They carry the load (mot saying it's a heavy one, we all know they're just big b***d! 🙈). The pads also help to cushion the feet and legs, helping to protect the joints.

Paw care is paramount for a happy bully and the 3 step tactic is easy enough to do, once you know how.

Clean, moisturise, and protect.

🌱 Cleaning keeps any contact allergens at bay and can keep the hair follicle from getting blocked, which can cause cysts.
🌱 Moisturising keeps the pads from getting dry, cracked, and sore
🌱 Protecting keeps the benefits of the first two steps in tact for longer and lessens the effects of any extreme circumstance such as ground type or temperature

Guess which two Monty's Mate products take care of all 3 steps? 🤔👆

Life is

Did you know that all packaging is recyclable?

A large percent is also made from recycled materials.

From labels, to jars and bottles, to the postal boxes and filler... Everything is kind to the planet. Because we all need to do our bit 🌏

P.S. Who's ready for the restock and the new drop???

03/10/2021

It feels like I get messages a out this ear oil every day at the moment.

So many people are impressed at the difference this makes for itchy ears, it's untrue!

Who else has used it and loved it? Let me know in the comments 👇

30/09/2021

Little throwback to waaaaay back when the Green Pumpkin Cleansing Balm used to come in a pouch. Who remembers?

Every so often you may see some of my reps post pics with this packaging... That's because they're still using theirs. It goes a long way 😊

Just one of these bad boys left - no restock until next week. Will you get the last one??

29/09/2021

This is why this best seller isn't getting knocked off its perch any time soon 🤩

Side note: if ever you're impressed with a small business for any reason... Please take a minute and let them know.

You will never know just how much messages like this keep us going ❤️

Have you ordered your own "unreal" balm yet? 😚

🌱Let’s talk ingredients, shall we?🌱

Did you know that for human skincare products, companies have to list ALL ingredients with their latin name (INCI) on the packaging. Essentially this means that you can look on the label and research the ingredients to see exactly what you’re putting on your skin 🙌

Ingredients only have ONE INCI name but could have a lot of other commercial names.

By using the INCI for the ingredient, this means that a company can’t claim that something is one thing, when it isn’t 🎉

It stops the green washing 🌱, helps customers to make informed choices, and ultimately keeps companies honest about what they’re selling.

All good stuff, yes? 💯

Unfortunately, for dogcare products, there is NO law that states companies have to disclose the full list of ingredients used OR use the INCI for ingredients 😢

This means that you might see “mild cleansing agent” rather than the exact name of a surfactant used. 😒 Not great if you want to know whether or not that surfactant has been known to cause toxic reactions to your dog.

When I searched for products to use on Monty, I found a lot out there that either didn’t give me the information I needed to be sure the product was safe, or simply listed ingredients that I would never use.

Monty’s Mate products have EVERY single ingredient listed on the label using their INCI names 😎 You’re welcome to do your own research, or ask me about anything you see there. I’m proud of the ingredients I use and they took a long time to research and find reputable suppliers.

Just because there isn’t a law about it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hold ourselves to higher standards and speak up for our loved ones.

Don’t you agree?

That's why life is always ❤️

Bessie knows that it's well worth getting wet if it means a bath with my Lavender and Frankincense Shampoo 🛀😊

Who else looks this adorabull when they've just got out of the bath? (I do not 😕😂)

There were sooo many cool stalls there and gorgeous doggos everywhere. We'll certainly be back next year with a stall!

Banishing dirty, itchy, smelly ears since 2020 👌

The Happy Ears cleansing oil is a firm favourite. I've had customers tell me that they've tried all sorts in the past to give their pooches some relief and gotten nowhere.

Then they tried Monty's Mate ear cleaner and boom 💥 happy ears at last.

This product is 100% natural and does exactly what it says on the tin (or rather, recyclable bottle 😘).

What an example of a beautifully smooth, healthy paw!

Ned was one of the first to try my nose and paw balm and let me just say, his paws didn't always look like this!

Cracks and dry, rough skin are uncomfortable. And unnecessary.

Every single natural ingredient in the Watch my Wiggle balm has been chosen so that the balm is ultra moisturising, absorbs super fast, and Soothes those paws in a jiffy.

Still the reigning best seller of all time and one of my proudest achievements.

Tap the pic, shop the balm, and see for yourself why people who try this, never look back ❤️❤️

All ready to make new friends ❤️🥰

Bruce (IG: ) knows where it's at.

Just lie back and relax while the human primps and pampers you. Oh the life of a bulldog 🙌😍😂

2 weekends of in person events for Monty's Mate!
First up - Whaley Wharf weekend: 31st July - 1st August
Then it's over to Elvaston Castle for Dog Lover's festival: 6th-8th August 😁😁

27/07/2021

Not in a million years would Monty do this 😂
Would your dog?

23/07/2021

20/07/2021

I can go days without taking Monty for a walk. Or we can walk daily for a month.

When he does go on a walk, we can do anywhere between 3-7 miles or just a quick lap around the block.

I stopped the regular morning and evening walks a while ago when I began training more at home. Since then, I don't "have" to go on a walk every day.

The reasons we go on walks are for:

🐶 Fitness
🐶 Enjoyment
🐶 Social skills
🐶 Training
🐶 Spending quality time with each other
🐶 Toilet breaks (his, not mine 😂)

I love heading off into the hills but I do it when I want to and when it's suitable to do so - obviously not in this weather).

The rest of the time, I do things at home to provide all of the above for Monty. Most of the time that's in the form of little games that double up as training and life skill lessons.

The games can either be active or calming and we have a blast no matter what.

If you're struggling because you can't get out in the heat but your dog has lots of pent up energy, try engaging with them for 5-10 minutes to teach them something new, or rehearse something they already know how to do.

Do this a few times throughout the day and you'll soon see that you can wait out the heatwave without your dog acting out.

Stay safe ❤️❤️
