Top Tip: Pocket Pet Wipes

Besides carrying around the obvious poopie bags and treats when going for walkies, one essential item is the Petkin Pet Wipes To Go. Most dog owners will experience their little furbaby finding something nice smelling in the park and deciding to roll in it like the world depended on it. Other dog owners, especially those owning long haired dogs, get to experience the poop stuck in hind leg hair issue. Dogs get dirty, its pretty much a fact, even if they don't like to be dirty... Morgana, or if they just can't help it ... Cassie. The Petkin Pet Wipes To Go are the easiest solution.

These moist wipes come individually wrapped so you won't be taking a massive pack around with you if you are worried about a little mess. The wipes are around 20cm x 18cm (7" x 8") but are folded nicely into a little pack that fits into the middle of your hand. On top of being pocket friendly the wipes are also mildly scented but still gentle enough to use daily. They really are great to use on walks, in the park, day trips, in the car and while you're travelling. The wipes can be bought in packs of 12 individually wrapped packets.

Doggie Paw Moisturiser

One of my favourite 'luxury' dog products is dog paw moisturiser. Depending on where you live the pavement and weather can really take its toll on paw pads. During the winter Cassies paws tend to dry out quite a lot so we use Shaws Paws Wax, not only does it do the job but it also smells sweet like honey which me and my sister love. (The girls also love it because it means they get a foot rub in the process.)



Shaws Paw Wax is easy to apply and gives your dog extra stability through gravel, asphalt, ice, snow and on a variety of road surfaces. It is usable all year round. You can be rest assured, no more slipping!

Don't let the tin fool you it is actually a quality product. The moisturiser inside is solid but it is pretty much like vaseline for dogs. You also don't have to worry about those little troubles who like to lick and groom themselves as this is perfectly safe. You can either just rub your dogs paws onto the wax or apply a thin smear onto their paw pads which is advisable for dogs with long hair.

This product definitely transforms your little troubles cracked dry paws into soft healthy paws in a matter of days. However, I'm not too sure about preventing slipping, both Cassie and Morgana slip as much as they did before on our wooden floors.

The great thing about this is that it is pretty cheap compared to other products (Shea Butter & Avocado Paw Balm [£12.00]) and lasts for ages, it is available at...

Groomers Online [£3.46]

Seapets [£3.39]

Pets at home [£3.59]

Top tip: Bone Treat

We have a problem that our supermarket sells mini treat bones with dried chicken in them but the medium bones are plain. The small bones are too tiny for cassie but she has absolutely no interest at all in the plain ones.

These bones are amazing for cleaning teeth. So how to solve this problem? Try stuffing soft treats into the knots. The treats I think work best are natures menu treats :)
