What is a Savannah cat? This half domestic, half Serval wildcat breed is becoming more and more popular in the UK but there are concerns about how well people can care for them, as well as the effect on local wildlife and the overall cat population.

There’s different registration codes, behaviour guides and other things to get your head around before anyone commits to owning a Savannah.

When was the last time you washed your dogs toys? We bet it has been a while…

You should be washing your dogs toys every few weeks. Bacteria from their mouths, dirt from outside and general dust and fumes from your home can mean dog toys are pretty grubby 🦠

So what can you do to get them sparkling clean again?

🧼 Pop plush toys on a gentle wash in your washing machine or soak for 30 minutes
🧼 Got hard plastic toys? They can be wiped with hot water or put in the dishwasher!
🧼 Rope toys can go in hot washes in the washing machine with other dog bedding and towels

BUT REMEMBER…
🐶 Never use non-pet friendly detergent as this isn’t good for your dog’s mouth
🐶 Dry them thoroughly before giving back to your dog or bacteria will grow
🐶 Are they past their best? Throw them away rather than risking your dog chocking on small parts

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Eco-friendly products are rapidly becoming the forefront of many industries these days.

However, some might argue that the pet industry has yet to catch up.

Luckily, there are those in the pet business that are already ahead of the game and have skillfully managed to combine quality and reliable products with sustainable and eco-conscious properties.

And one of these trailblazers is in fact Sue and Goose Studio; the small brand led by full-time nurse Zoe who dedicates her time to making collars and leads out of natural and repurposed material.

To learn more about dog accessories that never compromise on quality or comfort, but don't compromise the planet either, read Zoe's story and check out her business via the link in the bio!

Did you know your biodegradable pop bags probably aren’t that biodegradable? That’s why are on a mission to ensure you can be a good dog owner without harming the planet.

Made from cornstarch, their bags degrade within weeks into natural elements which aren’t harmful to wildlife and our oceans. They’ve been tested under home and industrial environments, so you won’t be disappointed.

Oh, and they use a special star seal which adds to the strength of the bag, so while they’re quick to degrade in the bin, they won’t degrade in your hand. Which is what we want from a poo bag.

They also have smaller bags available for smaller breeds, and compostable wash mitts. With plenty of other ideas on the horizon, watch this space for what they have next...

A few weeks ago we alerted our pet community that two men were pretending to be RSPCA workers in an attempt to steal a dog. ⁠

Dog theft is still on the rise and we feel it's necessary to offer some advice on the ways you can prevent this situation from happening. ⁠

1. Many dogs are being taken from gardens so when your pup is out there, be sure to watch them even if they're going to the toilet. ⁠

2. If you do have a rare or expensive dog, try not to advertise that they're living at that residence so no 'beware of this dog living here' plaques. ⁠

3. If you let your dog off the lead, try switching your walking routes up a bit to ensure thieves can't determine that your dog will be there at a given time. ⁠

4. Security cameras both inside and outside the home is also a great idea.⁠

For more advice and more tips on how you can protect your dog, feel free to read our article on the ways to prevent dog theft over at Petz.co.uk

You will have seen in the news that the theft of dogs has risen sharply over lockdown. With the demands for new pets rising (along with the prices for them), thieves have turned this into an opportunity. They are commonly either sold on or used for breeding. Some thieves can simply wait for a reward...

Kicking off the week with a Small Business Spotlight that's a little bit different from our usual ones.

Chilled Dawgz Daycare is the first of it's kind in Glasgow being the only doggy daycare that caters to small to medium sized dogs.

And the lady behind this incredible idea is Lisa Fleming, a previous NHS worker who realised the discomfort her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels felt around bigger dogs and decided enough was enough. She set off with all four Cavaliers in tow to create a mini dog haven where little dogs could relax and have fun while their mums and dad's were at work. And it seems it was the answer many were looking for because it has been thriving ever since.

And if you're in the Glasgow area, see what Chilled Dawgz Daycare could do for your wee pup!

🚨 BE AWARE 🚨

The RSPCA (England & Wales) have reported that people are impersonating them in order to potentially try and steal dogs.

It has been seen in and amongst other areas. They ask to take your dog under the pretext that it matches the description of one which has been reported stolen.

NEVER DO THIS—as the RSPCA say below, they always carry ID and will also never ask you to do this. Ring the police immediately and notify the charity too.

The latest spotlight is Big Dog Bed Company, who are on a mission to give our dogs the best beds possible.

Read our Small Business Spotlight - https://www.petz.co.uk/big-dog-bed-company/

Did you know that many of the orthopaedic beds on the market aren’t actually very supportive? Foam chips (or poor quality filling) sags and goes out of shape easily, which is why Big Dog Bed Company have spent years testing their products before they make it to market. You will still have a great bed years after first purchased, and it won’t stay damp after muddy walks and baths.

They also make vet-approved beds for surgeries, working with professionals to ensure they’re perfect for kennels, surgery tables and recovery.
