    Summer Survival Guide For Pets

    Summer is wonderful in so many ways. The warmer, drier weather and longer daylight hours means we can get out and about much more. Day trips and holidays are much more appealing when the chance of fine weather is increased. It’s also the season when the landscape is full of life and gardens brim with colour and bird song. Summer can also pose a few challenges for pet owners though. Keeping our pets cool and safe is our number one priority at this time of year. Here we list a few things you need to consider when looking after your dogs and cats in Summer.   Go For Dog Walks Early in the Morning or Later in the Evening We mentioned the potential for nice weather in the Summer, and this can sometimes become extreme with incredibly high temperatures. When the mercury rises, we need to do our best to keep our pets cool and comfortable. Dog walks can pose a major hazard on the hottest days. Not only can sun exposure cause sunburn, but dogs can suffer from heat stroke and hot pavements can burn delicate paws. It is best to walk your dog when the sun is low in the sky, so either early in the morning or later on in the evening. Check the feel of the paths with your hand - if it’s too hot for you to touch comfortably then it’s also too hot for your pup. [product] Keep walks to a gentle pace and make them shorter than usual if necessary. You could also consider popping a cooling vest or bandana on your pup to help keep them cool too. It's a good idea to have a cooling mat or bed on hand for your dog to lay on once you get home too!   Provide Indoor Activities With dog walks likely to be shorter than usual, we’d suggest providing some indoor activities for your pup to keep their minds occupied. It doesn't have to be anything too strenuous, but some interactive toys such as puzzles or hiding games. This will give them something to focus their energy on and stop boredom from setting in.   Take plenty of refreshments on outings It’s important to make sure your cats and dogs have access to plenty of fresh water throughout the day to help keep them cool and hydrated. If you’re going on an outing with your dog, make sure to take refreshments with you. There are a number of travel cups and bowl options with various sizes available. The brilliant range of travel bags by Mobile Dog Gear come with handy travel dining sets, so that you can pack food and water all in one bag. They have sets suitable for day trips through to large weekender bags that are great for overnight stays.   Never Leave your pet in the car This may seem obvious, but it’s really important to highlight, nonetheless. Cars will become very hot, very quickly, in hot weather. Leaving a window open simply isn’t enough to keep the car cool enough for your pet to sit in, even for a short time. Whenever you get out of the car you must take your dog with you or you will risk them overheating and becoming severely unwell.   Make Sure Your Garden is Pet Safe You may spend a lot of your spare time in the garden during the summer months so making sure it's safe for your dogs and cats is important. Ensure the garden is enclosed and that your pets can’t escape. You should also ensure that there are plenty of shaded areas for them to retreat to as well as bowls of fresh water. [product] You could provide them with some water toys.  A paddling pool or water fountain will give them opportunities for playing and keeping cool too.   Adopt a Summer Grooming Regime Depending on your pet’s breed, you may decide to give them a summer cut. You need to be sure that it will benefit them before you make the decision though. Cats and dogs have developed their coats over generations to keep them warm in winter and cool in Summer. Generally speaking, they shouldn’t need a Summer cut to keep them cool. Double coated breeds should never be clipped as having a thicker coat actually keeps them cooler and helps them avoid sunburn. Single coated breeds such as Poodles do have a coat suitable for clipping though. If you’re unsure whether you can clip your dog or not, consult your vet or a professional dog groomer for advice.   Don’t forget sunscreen for your pets Many pets will benefit from the protection that sunscreen provides. White haired cats and dogs can burn quite easily due to the skin underneath the fur being white. Use pet safe sunscreen and apply to the bridge of the nose, underbelly and armpits. Cats also tend to have thinner hair on the ears and the spot between the eye and ear.  Sunscreen should never be applied to the eyelids or nose, but it can be applied to any other areas that may be at risk. Just make sure to choose a pet safe cream. Your cat or dog is likely to lick the cream off after application, so you need to ensure the product is safe. Most human creams won't be suitable, so it’s best to find a pet-specific cream such as the Playful Pup cream by HOWND.   Repel those pesky bugs! We mentioned the abundance of life in the Summer, but this also means an influx of insects which can be a real nuisance to both us and our pets. They don’t just cause us to itch if they crawl on us but can also bite. There are a number of insect repellent products available to help keep them away. You could try an insect repelling shampoo or grooming product such as the TropiClean Flea & Tick Shampoo or the Animology Flea & Tick formula. Relax, Relax, Relax! The best advice we can give to make it through the Summer is to take it easy and make the most of it! We all know what it feels like when we’re hot and bothered; it can make us irritable and lethargic. Our pets are much the same and will appreciate a more laid-back approach to their routine. Keep exercise relaxed and offer more gentle forms of stimulation. The Summer is best enjoyed when you’re sat back and chilled out, and I think our pets would most certainly agree!

  • When Is It Too Hot To Walk My Dog?
    09.06.23 June 09, 2023 Health Featured

    When Is It Too Hot To Walk My Dog?

    As a dog owner, taking your four-legged friend for walks is one of many ways to care for them and ensure that they’re stimulated physically and mentally. Every dog breed is likely to benefit from regular walks, but with larger, more athletic dogs you may need to take them for multiple walks each day. However, when temperatures soar in the height of summer, you may be wondering is what temperature is too hot to walk a dog, how long to walk your dog in summer, and what essentials you'll need for summer walk. In this blog we will explore all the things you need to know about hot weather walks.   Can You Walk Dogs In Hot Weather? While it’s true that all dogs need some level of exercise, taking your pooch out on especially warm days could cause them harm, potentially leading to serious health implications or even death. But it is possible to reduce the chance of your dog becoming ill by checking the heat before you go for walks, picking suitable periods to walk your dog and providing sufficient care to your dog when you return home.   What Temperature Is Too Hot To Walk A Dog? The maximum temperature for walking your dog may vary depending on the level of humidity and wind in the air. As a rough estimate, your dog should be safe to be walked anywhere up to 19 degrees celsius. Out of hours animal healthcare providers Vets Now assessed the danger rating of temperature brackets, giving a four out of 10 score to 16-19 degrees celsius, outlining that it’s generally safe to walk your dog within this bracket but that owners should be wary of doing this if their dog is obese or flat-faced. For extra safety, Vets Now suggest taking your dog for a walk at times where the temperature is between 12 and 15 degrees celsius, as they saw no evidence of heat stroke from dogs that were taken for a walk in this bracket. Is 22 Degrees Too Hot To Walk A Dog? We’ve outlined recommended temperatures for walking your dog, but how do you know where to draw the line? In Vets Now’s assessment of temperatures for walking your dog, they state that between 20 and 23 degrees has a six out of 10 risk rating and that rigorous exercise in this heat could lead to heatstroke. An eight out of ten rating is given for 24-27 degrees celsius and they advise that extreme caution must be taken. Obese or flat-faced dogs would be at risk in these temperatures. A nine out of 10 risk rating is given to temperatures between 28 and 31 degrees celsius, and walks in temperatures at 32 degrees celsius or above are given a 10 out of 10 rating, with dogs of all breeds being susceptible to heatstroke at these temperatures.   When Is It Too Hot To Walk A Dog On Pavement? Along with checking that your dog isn’t suffering as a result of high temperatures, you should also be wary of how warm the surfaces they are walking on are. When pavements have been exposed to the sun for several hours, it’s likely that they’ll be hot to the touch, and while we wouldn’t notice wearing shoes, a dog’s paws could be seriously damaged by this. It can be hard to tell how hot a pavement is, and even if you feel it with your hand before walking your dog, it’s difficult to know whether they’ll be affected by it. Pavements can be as much as two times hotter than the air temperature. Prior to a walk, you should find out the air temperature, and if double that reading is likely to damage your dog’s paws, it could be worth waiting until it’s cooler or saving your walk for a cooler day.   How Long To Walk A Dog In Summer? For more athletic dogs, not going for a walk may leave them restless, frustrated and upset. You might be able to get around this problem by walking your dog early in the morning or late at night when it’s cooler. However, even if you opt to take your furry friend for a walk when it’s cooler, you should still ensure that you don’t walk them for too long. As a general rule of thumb, try to limit these excursions to under 30 minutes on warm mornings or evenings, but also take extra precautions such as not allowing your dog to run and, if they’re prone to overheating, fit them with a cooling vest.   How To Cool A Dog Down After A Walk If your dog begins to show signs that they’re overheating, such as feeling warm to the touch, panting, dribbling more than usual or presenting a rapid heartbeat, you need to take action to prevent them from becoming seriously ill.   Tips for cooling your pooch down include: providing them with lots of fresh drinking water investing in a dog cooling mat giving them ice cubes to chew setting up a doggy paddling pool wrapping a wet towel around them leaving them in a room with cool tiled or wooden flooring. use a cooling bandana   How To Give Your Dog Water On A Walk On cooler days when you do take your dog on a walk, especially on longer walks, taking water for them with you is a great idea. Travel water bottles and bowls are super handy to have to give your dog water on the go, the Beco Travel bowl and the KONG H2O Insulated water bottle are the perfect pair for this. Our top tip is if you think it may be too hot or you are unsure, don't walk them! No dog has ever died from missing a walk but unfortunately a lot have from heatstroke.

  • Can You Put Ice In A Dog's Water Bowl?
    13.06.23 June 13, 2023 Health Featured

    Can You Put Ice In A Dog's Water Bowl?

    As we enter Summer, and temperatures begin to rise, you may be wondering if you can put ice in your dog’s water bowl and is it safe? Cooling mats and paddling pools are more than likely your go-to for keeping your dog cool during the hot weather and whilst they’re great for use while you can be with your dog, what about when you’re away from the home? Each year, the main question is whether ice can be put in your dog's water bowl, and if it is safe to do so. According to animal charities and vets, ice is usually okay to put in your dog's bowl.  In this blog, we explore how often you should be washing your dog's bowl, when it's okay to give them ice, and what type of dog bowl is best for you and your dog.    When Can I Give My Dog Ice?  Generally, it is usually okay to put some ice in your dog’s water bowl – there are just a few things to make sure of to keep your dog safe:  Make sure the ice cubes aren’t too big for your dog, so that they’re not a choking hazard  If your dog is showing signs of heatstroke do not give them ice, and contact your vet immediately  Does your dog wolf down their food? Try giving them smaller ice cubes or ice shavings so they don’t damage their teeth     How Do I Know If My Dog Has Heatstroke? As temperatures soar, as a dog owner, you should be aware of potential heatstroke (or sometimes referred to as heat stress). Your pooch responds to heat the same way us humans do, luckily, we have sweat glands all over our body, however your dog will only have them around their nose & paws - many pooches rely on panting and external cooling to lose the heat. The good news is, you can prevent heat stroke in dogs, by knowing the symptoms and keeping your dog cool and out of direct sunlight. Look out for signs of excessive panting, drooling, agitation/restlessness, very red or pale gums, bright red tongue, increased heart rate, breathing distress, vomiting, signs of mental confusion, dizziness, weakness, seizures and collapsing. If your dog experiences any of these, contact your vet immediately and don’t feed your dog ice unless instructed to do so.     How Often Should You Wash Your Dog Bowls? In order to keep your dog's bowls germ and bacteria-free, you should wash them with warm soapy water after each meal/use. Dog bowls easily build up bacteria due to the bacteria being transferred whilst eating and flourishing on any leftovers. Bacteria can lead to health problems and tummy upsets for your dog so it’s best to keep on top of keeping them clean. You may want to alternate bowls and have a few spare so your dog always has access to fresh water whilst their bowl is being cleaned.     Are Ceramic Or Metal Bowls Better For Dogs? With lots of options and sizes of dog bowls, you may be wondering what to opt for, and what is best for you and your pooch. If you want to refresh your dog's bowls before summer to put those ice cubes in, it’s good to know bowls come in a few different materials, ceramic, metal, and plastic, and finding the right bowl for your dog is important for both you and your pup.     Metal Bowls  Metal bowls are a great and durable choice for your dog as they won’t easily scratch or dent – even boisterous dogs are unlikely to break them. They are one of the most hygienic options as bacteria cannot easily survive on stainless steel. Regularly cleaning your bowls will ensure all bacteria has been removed.  Metal bowls, however, don’t come in the same patterns and colours as other materials, so if your pooch is style conscious, maybe look at another material. If your dog is playful at mealtimes, metal bowls might be easy to pick up and play with - if this is likely for your dog, you might want to consider using a heavier ceramic bowl instead.    Ceramic Bowls  Ceramic bowls come in a much wider variety of patterns and colours so are great for matching your interiors and even personalising with your pooch’s name. They are usually heavier than metal bowls so are less likely to move whilst your dog is eating - so are great for messy eaters too! The glazing on ceramic bowls makes them easy to clean and helps protect them from bacteria but do make sure you are washing them after mealtimes to avoid any nasty stomach upsets for your pooch.      Are Plastic Bowls Bad For Dogs? Plastic bowls are a popular choice due to being inexpensive, lightweight, and relatively long-lasting but are they safe for your dog? There are many reasons why purchasing plastic bowls isn't recommended for long term use, dogs that are prone to scratching and chewing plastic bowls may make mealtimes unsafe and often plastic bowls allow bacteria to build up if not properly cleaned regularly. It is also possible for dogs to develop allergies to plastic which may irritate their skin.  A great alternative to plastic is the range of melamine bowls by Tarhong, they have the practicality of plastic but are also dishwasher friendly – so easy to keep up your bowl hygiene too. However, if your dog does prefer a plastic bowl, we recommend getting a high-quality, food-grade plastic and replacing it once there are signs of wear and tear.

  • Reasons Why Dogs Pant Heavily

    Reasons Why Dogs Pant Heavily

    As dog owners, we've all experienced that familiar sight: our furry best friends panting heavily, their tongues lolling out, as if they've just sprinted a marathon. Often panting occurs after a brisk walk or vigorous playtime but it's not always as simple as it seems. While panting is a natural cooling mechanism for dogs, it can also be a signal of underlying issues that require attention and care. As responsible pet parents, it's essential to decode the language of our four-legged pals and recognise the reasons behind their breathless moments. In this week’s blog post, we'll embark on a journey into the world of canine panting, exploring the various reasons why dogs engage in panting, how to tell the difference between normal and excessive panting, what to do if your dog is panting and when you should contact your vet   What Is Panting? Panting is when your dog’s breathing is rapid and shallow, usually with their tongue lolling out. Usually this is nothing to worry about but in some circumstance it can indicate something more serious.   Why Is My Dog Panting? Your dog is usually panting as a response to something, either trying to cool themselves down after exercise or on a hot day. But sometimes your dog may be panting for other reasons, so it’s important to look at your dog’s body language and the wider situation so you can assess the reason your dog may be panting. Some of the most common reasons for dogs panting include: Exercise The most common reason for dogs panting is after exercise to try to cool themselves down. Dogs can’t sweat like humans to cool down, so instead panting allows them to inhale and humidify the air before exhaling, this increases the evaporation of water and cools their body from inside out. If your dog is panting after exercise there’s usually no reason to worry, as long as it’s not too hot, they will be absolutely fine.   Heat Similarly to exercise, if your dog is too hot they will pant to cool themselves down. Excessive panting could be a symptom of heatstroke, heatstroke is brought on by a sudden rise in body temperature and can often be fatal. Other symptoms of heatstroke include: Racing heart Skin which is hot to touch Glassy eyes Unsteadiness on feet Vomiting Discolouration of gums Seizures If you spot any of these signs contact your vet straight away. Our blog Heat Stroke In Dogs, has all our tips on how to keep your pet safe in summer and how to avoid heatstroke. Excitement A lot of dogs pant when they’re excited, often if they’ve been given a new toy or treat or are meeting new people they will pant. This is a way for them to show they’re excited and is usually accompanied by whining. Stress or Anxiety Similarly to excitement, dogs who are in a stressful or anxiety provoking situation will pant and whine. It’s important to look at your dog’s body language to assess if this is the case, if they are hiding, avoiding eye contact and yawning or pinning their ears back and tucking their tails away the panting could be a sign that your dog is feeling either stressed or anxious. In our research we found that separation anxiety and dog anxiety were the two most common canine mental health disorders in the UK. Obesity Obesity is unfortunately a growing problem in dogs. Overweight dogs are more likely to pant as they struggle to get the fresh oxygenated blood round their systems so are out of breath and panting. If you think your dog may be overweight speak to your vet about the best way to help manage them loosing weight. Illness or Pain Dogs are exceptionally good at hiding pain, panting coupled with other symptoms like coughing, drinking and weeing more or low energy could indicate that your dog is either ill or in pain. Illnesses such a BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway syndrome), heart disease, Cushing’s diseases, respiratory diseases and disorders or high temperatures and fevers all can cause excessive panting in dogs. If you think your dog is ill or in pain, contact your vet straight away for an assessment. Medications 
If your dog is on prednisone or another steroid they may be experiencing increased panting as a side effect. Poisoning 
One of the most common emergencies vets and vet nurses see is poisoning, whether that’s chocolate or raisin digestion, eating dangerous plants or licking a toxic substance like antifreeze, rat poison or slug killer, they can all cause panting. If you think your dog has been poisoned or eating something they shouldn’t, contact your vet right away. Allergic Reactions If your dog has recently started a new medication, in very rare cases they may have an allergic reaction. If your dog is having an allergic reaction they may be struggling to breathe and start panting more. Contact your vet right away if you think your dog is having an allergic reaction.   How To Tell If My Dog Is Panting Too Much If you’re wondering what the difference between normal dog panting and excessive panting is and how to tell the difference, then there’s a few key things to look at: What are they doing? Is there an obvious cause for the panting? - As we mentioned above, dog’s panting will usually correlate with external factors like exercise or excitement which is completely normal. Healthy dogs don’t usually pant for no reason. Does it appear excessive compared to their normal panting pattern or with more exertion than normal? - You know your dog best and will be able to tell if their panting is different to normal, or if it seems more intense. Are there any other symptoms? - If your dog’s panting is coupled with other symptoms like lethargy, not eating, coughing, discolouration of their gums or tongue, it could be a sign that the panting is a result of illness. We recommend speaking to your vet if this is the case Has their panting changed sounds? - Listen to the sound of their panting and if there is a change is sound it could be a sign of another condition at play. For example if your dog has laryngeal Paralysis, which is common in Labradors and Golden Retrievers, their panting will often sound abrasive as a result of the disfunction in their vocal cords. Or if your dog is flat faced their panting is more likely to include snorting sounds. Both of these conditions predispose them to heatstroke, which panting is an indicator of. If your dog is panting but still getting hotter, this could also be a sign of heatstroke. What To Do If Your Dog Is Panting Heavily If your dog is panting heavily there’s a few things to consider. Look for the reason - is it hot, have they been running about or are they excited. If there’s no obvious reason, contact your vet. If it’s simply from excitement or exercise give your dog a little space and time to calm down and their panting should slow dow. If it’s from overheating, you will need to act quickly but don’t panic. You will want to move your dog into the shade and offer them cool but not cold water, gently cool them down with water and then contact your vet immediately. Remember the best way to manage heat-stroke is to avoid it, don’t leave your dog in a parked car on a hot day, provide plenty of shade and water, and make sure not to walk them if it’s too hot. If you suspect their panting is because of stress, stay calm and try to remove them from the situation. Once they are out the way of any danger or triggering circumstances, comfort and reassure your dog.If there’s lots of situations that repeatedly cause your dog stress and anxiety, it may be worth contacting a behaviourist who can work with your dog to overcome their fears If there’s other symptoms which cause you to think there may be an underlying issue like illness, pain, an allergic reaction or poisoning - make an appointment with your vet. They can then assess your dog and figure out the cause of their excessive panting. When To Contact A Vet For Heavy Panting Your dog suddenly starts panting with no obvious cause You think they’re in pain, suffering from an allergic reaction or poisoning Their panting is constant and intense Their tongue or gums look blue, purple or white - this is a sign they’re not getting enough oxygen They are displaying signs of heatstroke 
If you are unsure contact your vet - if you’re worried or concerned always talk to your vet, that’s what they’re there for. Questions To Ask Your Vet About Your Dogs Panting Is my dog’s panting normal or abnormal? What can be done to determine the cause? What can be done to treat the cause?   Does Your Dog Breathe Fast While Sleeping? If your dog is panting at night and the room they’re sleeping is cool, there could be a lot of reasons for this. We recommend taking your dog to the vets to find the underlying issue causing their panting at night. The reasons behind this could include anxiety - either separation anxiety if they sleep separately to you or part of a night terror, check out our blog on night terrors if you suspect your dog may be suffering from them. If you think anxiety may be causing your dog's panting at night, try putting the radio on from some background noise or using a calming diffuser.In conclusion, while panting is a natural cooling mechanism for dogs, it can also be a sign of underlying issues. As responsible pet owners, it's vital to recognise the reasons behind our dog's heavy panting and seek veterinary help if needed. By understanding their needs and being proactive in their care, we can ensure our beloved companions lead happy and healthy lives filled with joy and love.

    Heat Stroke In Dogs - Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer

    Whether you’re at the beach, out exploring on a hot day, in the car, or even just relaxing at home, it’s important to look out for signs of heat stroke in dogs. This life-threatening condition is brought on by a sudden rise in body temperature and can kill dogs much faster than expected.According to our friends at Vets Now, the UK’s leading provider of emergency pet care, spotting the signs of heat stroke early, and seeking emergency treatment, can massively increase your dog’s chance of survival. Sadly, their emergency vets see hundreds of cases of heat stroke in dogs every year and, tragically, many of these prove to be fatal. If you do find yourself worried about heat stroke, it’s important to seek urgent medical advice. Dave Leicester, Head of Telehealth at Vets Now, reveals what to look out for.   What Causes Heat Stroke In Dogs? There are two types of heat stroke — exertional and non-exertional. The first occurs during exercise and is much more common on hot sunny days when dogs haven’t had a chance to acclimatise to the sudden rise in heat. Dogs can take up to 60 days to acclimatise to significant changes in temperature, which isn’t ideal in the UK as the weather tends to change from week to week. The second type is when a dog is exposed to a notable rise in temperature but doesn’t have access to the ventilation, or drinking water, to keep themselves cool. This typically occurs in a parked car, a garden with no shade, or a very hot room.Heat Stroke Signs In the early stages of heat stroke, your dog is likely to appear restless and distressed. They may also pant heavily and drool. As their condition worsens they will begin to lose coordination and eventually collapse.  It’s worth noting that normal rectal temperature for dogs is around 38.6°C (101.5°F) to 38.9°C (102°F) and anything above this is abnormal. Other signs of heat stroke include: Rapid breathing Racing heart Overheating (skin hot to touch) Glassy eyes Unsteady on feet Vomiting Gums turning a bluish-purple or bright red colour Unconsciousness or collapse Seizures If you spot any of these signs please contact your vet straight away. For out of hours, contact your nearest Vets Now pet emergency clinic or 24/7 hospital.   Diagnosis & Treatment A vet will be in the best position to offer advice on your next steps. They may advise you to slowly cool your dog’s head and body using tepid spray before offering small amounts of water to drink. You should never immerse your dog in an ice bath or freezing cold water as cooling them too quickly can do more harm than good. If your dog needs a physical examination, they will undergo a series of tests to determine the treatment required. If their condition is severe they will require urgent, intensive care. Your dog may be placed on a drip and given supplemental oxygen depending on whether they’re suffering breathing difficulties. Once their temperature begins to fall and their breathing is under control further diagnostic tests will be carried out.   Preventing Heat Stroke - Keep Your Dog Cool  The simplest way to ensure your dog doesn’t succumb to heat stroke is preventing it from happening in the first place. Keeping dogs cool is key. Here are some tips: In the summer, walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening. Never exercise your dog in the middle of a hot day and restrict exercise on hot days Don’t overdo exercise during warm spells, regardless of the time of day Always provide a cool, shaded area for your dog to relax in Ensure your dog has access to plenty of fresh drinking water and always take water on a walk Spray your dog with cool water Circulate cool air on hot summer days. Open windows, turn on a box fan or keep the air conditioning on at a reasonable temperature. Your dog will appreciate having a cool place to relax indoors Keep dogs out of conservatories, greenhouses and stuffy rooms. These areas can get dangerously hot even when it might only feel mild outside. Bear in mind that there are no cooling breezes inside these sun traps and they magnify the heat Avoid long car journeys. If you decide to take your dog in the car, make sure the air conditioning is on or the windows are open. Also, take plenty of water and regular breaks for fresh air. Never ever leave your dog in a parked car. It can take less than 15 minutes for a dog to start overheating in a car At Lords & Labradors we have a wide selection of cooling toys and accessories in our shop which are designed to help regulate your pup's body temperature in the Summer.  Heat stroke is a genuine medical emergency and, if you are worried about your pet, you should arrange a face-to-face examination without delay, but if you have other concerns or questions this summer, and you are unsure if your dog needs to see a vet you can get peace of mind within a few minutes with Video Vets Now.  This new service by Vets Now means you can arrange a video call with one of their emergency vets within minutes, no matter where you are in the UK. A ten-minute video consult costs £24 and is refundable if Vets Now recommend an in-person follow up within 48 hours.

How To Wash Your Lords & Labradors Pet Bedding

Keeping your pets bedding clean and smelling fresh will not only benefit you and your pooch, it’ll also prolong the life of your pet’s well loved bed. Here at Lords and Labradors, we know being able to wash your pet’s bedding is important, as our furry friends can get their beds messy from muddy paw prints, to treats/chews being hidden inside of their bed! If you have any questions about your Lords and Labradors bedding, please do contact us and we’re happy to answer any queries you may have. Our bedding comes in two main collections, our essentials collection which includes our Plush, Herdwick and Twill ranges, and our Core Collection which consists of our signature ranges. Each needs washing in a different way so first check which collection your pet’s bedding is from.   How To Clean Your Lords & Labradors Essentials Pet Bedding Our Essentials Plush & Twill beds are machine washable, the rest of our Essentials collection is spot wash only. Below we’ve listed our top tips for cleaning your L&L Essentials beds. Cleaning Your Essentials Plush Crate Cushion, Bumpers & Sofa Toppers Sleepeze Cushions Our Essentials Plush cushions, sofa toppers & bumpers, as well as our Sleepeze cushions, are spot wash only. You will want to start by hoovering off any loose hair and dirt, make sure to get in any crevices. Next, using a clean cloth, warm water and a mild pet-safe detergent, gently scrub any areas which need cleaning, afterwards with a clean cloth wipe away any suds and leave to air dry. We recommend doing a test patch on a discreet area of the bed before cleaning the whole bed to check that your detergent isn’t going to cause any discolouration.   Cleaning Your Essentials Plush Crate Cover Our Plush crate covers are machine washable. To wash simply turn the cover inside out and wash on a gentle cycle at 20º. The fabric will air dry really quickly, simply place is somewhere flat and not in direct sunlight - you can even lay it over your dog’s crate so that it keeps it shape! Make sure to allow your cover to air dry naturally, not over a radiator or in a tumble dryer as they are more likely to shrink!   Cleaning Your Essentials Herdwick Bed & Sleepeze Start by hoovering any loose hairs or dirt from the bed, some of the collection have removable inner cushions we recommend taking this out to clean separately, so you can properly get into all the corners of the bed. Next you’ll want to get some warm water mixed with a mild pet safe detergent, with a clean cloth gently scrub your pet’s bed focusing on any dirty areas. Then wipe away any suds and leave to air dry. Again we recommend trialling the detergent in a discreet spot to check it doesn’t discolour your pet’s bed.      How To Wash Your Essentials Plush & Twill Beds Our Plush & Twill beds are all machine washable. To keep them looking fresh we recommend starting by hoovering away any loose hairs or dirt, this will stop the hair from clogging up in your washing machine. Our twill crate mats and orthopaedic beds have removable covers, pop the cover inside out and zipped up in your washing machine. If your bed has an inner cushion, you can take this out and wash it separately to the outer, making it easier to fit in the washing machine. We recommend washing our beds on a gentle cycle at 20º in the washing machine, leave to air dry and never tumble dry. Your bed may just need a good shake after to spread out the filling and then it will be ready for your pet to use again.     How To Clean Your L&L Core Collection Pet Bedding Our core collection is all machine washable, our pet experts have listed their top tips below to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible! How To Wash Your L&L Crate Cover Taking care of your L&L crate cover means it’ll keep it looking fresh for longer! To wash, just turn the cover inside out and wash on a 20º, gentle cycle in the washing machine. The fabric will just need to air dry, by placing it somewhere flat and not in direct sunlight - you could even lay it over the crate so it dries in its shape. Once dry, you can cool-iron/steam inside out to remove any unsightly creases. Do not machine wash oilcloth covers.    How To Wash Your L&L Crate Cushion and Crate Bumpers Washing your L&L core collection crate cushions and bumpers is easy, simply unzip the covers, and remove the waterproof liner from the cushion too. You can wipe clean the waterproof liner and air out the cushion whilst you pop the cushion cover/crate bumper cover into the washing machine at 20º on a gentle cycle - don’t forget to turn the covers inside out before doing so! Allow the covers to air dry, and do not tumble dry.    How To Wash Your L&L Beds With the right care your Lords & Labradors bed will continue to look beautiful for years! We recommend washing your bed on a 20º gentle machine wash to maintain colour. Our fabric is super fast drying and often will come out of the spin almost dry! It’ll just need a bit of airing, a good shake and it will be ready to be used again.    How To Wash Your L&L Blankets Your Lords & Labradors blanket can be popped into the washing machine on a gentle cycle at 20º - the blankets are quick to dry once laid flat, do not lay over a hot radiator and do not tumble dry.   How To Wash Your L&L Sofa Toppers Our sofa toppers are easy to wash - you don’t need to put the whole topper in the wash - only the cover. Simply remove the cover by unzipping the back, slide the inner out, turn the cover inside out and pop into a gentle wash at 20º. Once washed, lay flat if you can to air dry - this shouldn’t take too long and then you can return your beautiful sofa topper to your comfortable sofa!   If you have any questions on cleaning your Lords & Labradors bedding then why not ask out pet experts?

Dog Crate Sets & Crate Aftercare

Crate training is an important part of settling in a new puppy. A crate provides a safe, quiet space for your pup and will help them to get used to their nighttime routine and with toilet training. A dog crate can be made into a cosy den that will be loved by your new four-legged friend for a lifetime. In this article we will explain the best crate set-up for puppies, how to change the set-up as they grow up and also how to look after your crate and crate bedding.   How To Make The Perfect Crate Set-Up For A Puppy Crate training your puppy will have lots of advantages, helping them to settle and feel safe in their home as well getting them into a consistent bedtime routine. The perfect crate for a puppy will feel safe, warm and cosy. It’s important that it’s inviting so that they feel compelled to use it. With this in mind we’d suggest the following items:  Crate Cover [product]Crates in their basic form can be rather draughty and a little bit unsightly! A crate cover will not only make the crate look stylish, but it will make the crate feel cosy inside. Our crate covers feature roll down doors which can be lowered when it’s time for bed. Puppy will soon learn when they should be sleeping (doors rolled down) and when it’s time to get up (doors rolled up). Our crate covers come in a range of fabrics which have been designed to match your home and they're all machine washable, making them brilliant for puppies!    Cosy & Calming Puppy Crate Bed [product] Our cosy and calming beds have been designed with crate training in mind. Each size is made to fill exactly one half of the corresponding crate size. So if you have a small crate for a Chihuahua for example, the small bed will fit in exactly one half of the crate. This then leaves room for a puppy pad in the other half along with a  bowl for water. They come in a range of our printed cotton fabrics and feature a reversible cushion pad inside - one side covered in super plush sherpa!   Puppy Pads Whilst we don’t want to encourage puppies to pee in the crate, it’s also important to note that they can’t hold themselves for very long at all. Whilst you will be able to take them outside at regular intervals during the day, this may not be the case at night. When you put them to bed, putting a puppy pad in one half of the crate will help to stop any accidents from dirtying their bed or crate tray. Crate Bowls Puppies will need access to water at all times and a crate bowl is a brilliant accessory as it can be fastened to the crate walls. This will ensure it doesn’t get tipped over or knocked like a standard bowl might. The Perfect Crate Set-Up For An Adult Dog As your dog becomes toilet trained and they begin to need the full space of the crate for their bed, you will need to consider swapping out the puppy accessories for their proper adult bed. At Lords & Labradors we specialise in crate bedding that will make your dog’s den look stunning as well as super comfortable inside. Crate Cushion Our crate cushions are designed to fit our crates perfectly. They come in a range of fabulous fabric designs from luxurious tweeds to printed cottons. There really is something to suit every taste and home.   Crate Bumper Crate walls aren’t the most comfortable things to snuggle up to, and if your dog likes to curl in the corner of their bed, they will need something other than metal bars! That’s where our fabulous bumpers come in. They sit around the edge of the crate cushion and create a spongey layer of warmth around the walls. Perfect for snuggling up in the corner when nap time calls!   Crate Cover Our crate covers are perfect for setting a routine with your dog, when the doors are rolled down it will signal to them it's time to sleep. Our crate covers are fully lined to help keep light out and come in matching fabrics to our bumpers and cushions to you can be sure crate will look stylish!   Crate Set Aftercare and How To Clean A Crate With a little love and care your crate set will last a long time. Here we detail how to look after your crate set: The Crate - The crate is made of sturdy metal and is really easy to keep clean. Our crates are easy to wipe clean and the tray is removable so you can get into the corners properly.  It’s really important to make sure the crate is completely dry before setting back up and allowing your pet back in, we recommend drying your crate to avoid any rusting.  Lords & Labradors Cushion & Bumper Covers - For our bedding from our core collection you will be able to remove the covers on the cushions and bumpers. Turn the cover inside out and machine wash on a 20 degree gentle cycle. Allow the covers to air dry (do not tumble dry). Once dry return the inner cushion to the cover. Essentials Plush Collection Bumpers & Cushions - Our bumpers and cushions from the Essentials Plush Collection don't have removable covers, we recommend spot washing your essentials plush bumpers and cushions.  Lords & Labradors Crate Covers - Our crate covers are all machine washable on a 20 degree gentle cycle, apart from our oil cloth crate covers. After washing, we recommend air drying your crate cover over your crate to help keep it in shape and to make sure it doesn't shrink. A cool iron on the reverse of the cotton fabrics is fine if necessary, but often they won’t even need that. Our tweeds and Savanna fabrics are super fast drying and they will come out of the spin almost dry. Just give them an air and they’ll be ready to use again in no time at all! Cushion and bumper inners - The cushion and bumper inners are protected by waterproof interlinings, so won’t need washing. This will preserve the inner fillings. The waterproof liners are wipe clean. If they become soiled, simply wipe down with a mild pet-safe detergent and they’ll be as good as new again. Cosy and Calm Puppy Bed - Our puppy beds are fully machine washable. You can put the whole bed in the machine and wash on a 20° cycle. When removed, simply shake and plump the cushion back into shape and leave to air dry. Follow these simple steps and your crate sets will last and look stunning for years to come!

Top 10 Cat Grooming Products

Cats are some of the cleanest pets that you can share your home with and are very good at grooming themselves. Their tongues feature tiny spines which not only comb the fur but also help to transfer saliva onto the coat to help cleanse the fur. With this being said, it’s still important for you to develop a good grooming regime of your own. All cats will benefit from regular grooming with their owners to help stop knots from forming and to help reduce the chances of hairballs. It also helps to strengthen the bond between you and your feline. Different cat breeds will need slightly different grooming routines. Medium and long haired breeds will need daily grooming, whilst short haired breeds will benefit from brushing once a week. Their coat type will also determine what kinds of brushes, combs and accessories will get the best results.    Last week we shared a blog post about How to Groom Your Cat, so this week we thought we’d share our top cat grooming products. Read on to discover our favourite grooming brushes and accessories for cats.   The Best Cat Grooming Products 1. KONG Cat ZoomGroom - This is a gentle rubber brush that massages and grooms all at once. It’s suitable for all coat types, and is especially good as a first brush to help get kittens used to grooming. The soft rubber fingers will collect loose hair which is brilliant during shedding season. The massaging brush will also help to calm nervous pets and would make a great accessory to take with you to the vet or to use in any other situation that makes your cat anxious. 2. Gripsoft Cat Slicker Brush - A slicker brush is another brilliant all round brush for use on all coat types. It will separate the strands and smooth the coat, helping to detangle and also collect loose hair.  If you have a medium or long haired breed then you should also consider the Gripsoft Double Sided Cat Brush. This has a pin brush on one side which is brilliant for brushing the fur free of knots and tangles, plus a bristle brush which will fluff and smooth the coat to finish. 3. Ancol Double Sided Cat Comb - Medium and longhaired breeds such as Ragdolls and Persians will need more than just a slicker brush to keep their coat knot-free. This comb by Ancol has widely spaced teeth on one side to gently tease knots from the fur from root to tip, as well as a fine toothed comb to neaten and fluff the fur.    4. Animology Glamour Puss No Rinse Shampoo - Cats famously don’t like water and generally speaking you shouldn’t need to fully bathe your cat. If you do want to clean the fur and freshen your pet then a waterless shampoo such as this one by Animology is ideal. A spray formula that can simply be brushed through the fur with no need to rinse.Top Tip - if your cat doesn’t like the feel of the spray being applied directly onto their body, try spraying on to their favourite brush and apply as you groom. 5. Tropiclean Waterless Cat Shampoo - If your cat doesn’t take to the spray formulation of the Animology shampoo, then this foaming formula might be more to their taste. It still doesn’t need rinsing so there’s no need to subject your feline to water. It’s an all-natural pet shampoo with absolutely no parabens or nasties often found in other products. The berry fragrance will leave your cat smelling divine too! 6. Ancol Ergo Nail Clippers - Most cats will take good care of their own nails and the simple act of scratching their post or cardboard scratcher will keep them in order. Some cats need extra help to keep them trim though which is when you should consider cutting your cats nails. If you need to trim your cat’s nails then these Ancol Nail clippers will do the job perfectly. They’re the perfect size for smaller paws.We’d suggest asking your vet before you do it the first time, just to get the best advice on how much to trim. 7. TropiClean Clean Teeth Oral Care Gel for Cats - Help to keep your cat’s teeth clean and healthy with this oral gel. It doesn’t require brushing which makes it really easy to use. Simply apply one drop to your cat’s mouth. They’ll lick the gel which will help to coat the teeth. Just try not to let them eat or drink for 20-30 minutes after, to allow the solution to coat all surfaces of the teeth and gums! 8. TropiClean Ear Wash - Wax and debris can build up in the ears which can cause problems if they’re not cleaned. This ear wash by TropiClean is completely pet safe and alcohol-free. It will clean the ear without irritation or stinging and should ideally be used after bathing for best results. 9. Animology Feline Great Cat Shampoo -  There may be occasions where your cat needs a proper bath. If they get soiled with a substance that can’t be removed with brushing for instance, a bath in water with a pet-safe shampoo may be required. This cat shampoo by Animology is a mild formula infused with a delicious peach fragrance. It will clean your cat’s coat without stripping it of its natural oils. The built-in conditioner will leave the coat glossy and shiny. 10. Pet Drying Towel - If you do bathe your cat, you will need to make sure you dry them well afterwards to keep them warm. Our pet drying towels are made of super absorbent Egyptian cotton towelling which is designed to dry pet’s fur quickly. This one is a stylish grey colour embroidered with a cute ‘Dirty Claws’ slogan in silver thread and finished with the silhouette of a cat. We also love - Catit Shorthair Grooming Kit - If you have a shorthaired breed, then this grooming kit by Catit has all of the tools you’ll need to keep your cat’s coat in tip-top condition. It features a series of combs and brushes that have been designed specifically for cats with short hair. There are combs and brushes to smooth, detangle and remove dandruff; a rubber brush that removes loose shedding hair and a set of nail clippers in case you ever need to help keep your cat’s claws neat. All of these tools are presented in a handy presentation case which will allow you to store them neatly. The lid can even be used as a temporary container to house the loose hair, mid grooming session. If your cat gets nervous or is finding it hard to get used to their grooming regime, try a calming product or two to get them as relaxed as possible. We stock a wide range of calming products in our online shop where you'll find products by Ceva and Pet Remedy. They're brilliant for other high-stress situations too, such as fireworks night and travelling.

The Best Cat Collars, Harnesses & Accessories

A cat collar isn’t just a style choice, but is a way to help keep your cat safe. You can easily attach your contact details to a collar in case they get lost. They are a brilliant accessory for outdoor cats in case they lose their way or get stuck somewhere such as someone else’s garden shed. We’d suggest buying a safe cat collar with a breakaway buckle just in case they get caught on something. You could also choose one that has a bell which will help to notify birds and other animals that your cat is on the prowl - it might just reduce the risk of living ‘presents’ appearing on your doorstep in the morning! In this blog we highlight our favourite cat collars and some of the best accessories to go with them.   Our favourite cat collars Ancol Striped Cat Collar - This cat collar has a classic stripe design that will suit any fussy feline. This one comes without a bell which is ideal as a first collar or for those cats who get annoyed at the sound of a bell. It’s a fully adjustable type with a breakaway collar for safety. Available in 2 colours. Velvet Collar with Bow Tie Quick Release Cat Collar - This cute collar is made from a super soft velvet offering comfort to any cat. It even has a fabulous bow tie, ensuring your feline stays stylish too. There’s a bell which will notify predators that your kitty is about and a breakaway buckle for safety. You could easily add an ID tag to this one if you wish. Ancol Reflective Cat Collar - This collar is designed with your cat’s visibility in mind. It can be difficult for motorists to see cats in the dark, but this collar will ensure that they can. It’s made of a reflective fabric that will be highlighted when car lights or street lights shine on it. It has an added bell and breakaway buckle making it a practical choice for any cat owner. Ancol Safety Hi Viz Cat Collar - This has many of the same benefits as the reflective collar, but in a hi-viz fabric. The hi-viz element ensures visibility in Rosewood Bow Tie Cat Collar - This bow tie is for the feline fashion fanatics. It comes with a bow tie attachment and is finished with a crystal in the centre. Style, safety and function all in one collar. Available in a choice of red or navy. Our favourite collar charms & accessories Rosewood ID Tube - An essential safety accessory for your cat’s collar, this ID tube can be affixed to the metal loop on your cat’s collar and allows for you to put your contact details inside. It’s compact enough for your cat to wear without hindering their movement. A brilliant addition to help keep your cat safe. Hiro + Wolf X L&L  Cat Bow Tie - These adorable cat bow ties can be attached to any slim cat collar and will add a stylish finishing touch to your cat’s look. They are handmade in the UK and the prints are an exclusive collaboration by our in-house design team and Hiro + Wolf. They simply loop on to your cat’s existing collar and can be removed just as easily - perfect for special occasions when you want your feline to look their best! Circle Diamanté Mirrored Collar Charm  - If you have an indoor cat who wears a collar, this collar charm will add a delightful accent to it. A luxe pet accessory, it features real Swarovski crystals and an inset mirror. This is a collar charm for the most pampered of pets! Our favourite cat harnesses Ancol Kitten Harness - This cat harness is perfect for training indoor cats to walk on a lead. If you have an indoor cat and want to give them some extra exercise without letting them loose in the garden, a harness and lead is a great way to give them a taste of the outdoors in a controlled way. This super soft cat harness is ideal for lead training kittens and older cats. It has a large surface area giving supreme comfort to your feline. Just clip on any lead and you'll be all set for your outdoor adventures. It comes in 3 sizes with a size to suit every age and breed of cat.  Designed by Lotte Cat Harness and Lead - If you're looking for a premium walking set for your cat complete with matching lead then this set by Designed by Lotte might be just the thing. It comes in two stylish colours with a style to suit every taste. It has fully adjustable traps to give the best fit possible and the open style will offer your cat or kitten total freedom of movement.   Introducing a collar or harness to your cat  If your cat has never worn a collar or harness, remember to start slowly and never force them to wear them if they act scared. Try introducing the collar by allowing them to sniff it and give them a couple of treats after so they associate it with positive things. It should be a steady process over a few days. When they first put the collar or harness on, take it off after a few minutes and steadily increase the time they wear it over a few sessions. They should soon get used to their new accessories! It's often best to introduce wearable accessories when your kittens are young. It is likely to take an adult cat much longer to get used to new things and they may not take to wearing them at all. Remember to take your particular cat's temperament and personality into consideration and not to force them to wear anything if they really don't want to.    Remember to microchip your pets Is your cat microcipped yet? If not then you should definitely have your cat microchipped as soon as possible. Whilst a collar with ID tag is great in many instances for cats who get lost and found by a neighbour, a microchip is beneficial in case the collar gets lost. It's also a way for stolen pets to be tracked when found. A microchip will stay with your pet in all events and should have your full contact details in case of loss - remember to update the microchip details if you move house!

Top 10 Things To Take Camping With Your Dog

Top 10 Things To Take Camping With Your Dog

Travelling with your dog requires a bit of thought and planning, especially if you're going away on holiday. In our last article we talked about camping with your dog and gave you some help and advice about how to plan a camping trip with your pets. This time we thought we'd create a list of our favourite travel items for dogs to take on a camping trip. Practical travel accessories to keep them comfortable and relaxed on their holidays. With many of us planning UK breaks as lockdown eases a camping trip might just be the fun you need this Summer.   Here's our list of top things to take camping with your dog:  HiK9 Dog Bed - HiK9 make really practical dog beds that are ideal for travel. The basic bed frames are elevated from the ground and easily pack flat for storing in the car on the journey. They come in two fabric choices - the mesh is great for the warmer Summer months as it’s breathable; the canvas is thicker and great if it’s going to be on the colder side. We also love the various accessories that are available for the beds too, such as the sunshade topper and extra blankets. HiK9 Dog Bed Topper - A topper for your HiK9 bed is a must. There are a number of cosy blanket options available to make the bed really warm and inviting. Camping can be chilly even in the Summer months, so providing your pup with layers of bedding will help to keep them warm when they need it most. Mobile Dog Gear Travel Bag - Your dog is going to need a number of things for their travels and these dedicated pet travel bags have loads of room for toys, pet wipes and a drying towel amongst other daily essentials. One of the best things about them is that they come with a dining set which includes lined pouches for storing dry food and treats, pop-up silicone bowls and a feeding placemat. Super practical accessories for dining on the go. First Aid Kit - Accidents may be rare, but they can happen. A first aid kit for pets is a great addition to your travel bag for camping trips. This one by Rosewood contains a number of practical things including wipes, gauze, bandages, latex gloves and a number of other essentials. All-in-1 Calming Kit - Calming products come in handy in all kinds of situations and are ideal for any kind of travel when your dog is in an unusual place; or for pup’s who aren’t keen on travelling. We suggest spraying your dog’s bedding a few days before you go and then use throughout the holiday to help keep your dog stress-free. The wipes are really handy to pop in your bag for the bag too. Ruffwear Harness and walking accessories - Ruffwear is a brilliant brand for anyone who needs durable outdoorsy walking sets for their dog. There are a number of harnesses to choose from such as the classic Front Range which is a good all-rounder; the Switchback which has handy pockets on the back for storing extra accessories; and the Flagline. The latter is particularly good for adventuring dogs as it offers freedom of movement with a high level of adjustability. Drying Coat - We love to take a drying coat wherever we go as you just never know when you might get caught in a shower. They’re brilliant to put on wet dogs before getting back into the car or the tent. They’ll help wick moisture away from your dog and help to keep them warm. They also stop your dog dribbling excess moisture inside! Insect Shield Snood - Being outdoors in the Spring and Summer is super fun but it can have its drawbacks too. One of those is the number of insects around at this time of year. To help stop them from pestering your dog, you could have them wear this doggy snood by Scruffs. It’ll keep mosquitoes and fleas at bay and leave your pup free to have a good time! Dexas Popware Snack Duo - This is a brilliant accessory to pop in your travel bag. It allows you to fill half  with food or treats and half with water so you can give your pup on-the-go snacks when they need it. Ideal for days out and long journeys. It even comes with a handy pop-up bowl for quick servings. It’s the perfect travel feeding companion for quick snacks without getting your whole feeding kit out. Available in a series of striking colours! Petall AllRound Giant Pet Wipes - Wipes are an absolute must. These large ones by PetAll are a useful size for all kinds of clean-ups and are fully pet safe. You can clean your dog’s fur if it gets sticky and also use to clean down bedding or other surfaces when needed. A must for any travel bag and great for camping trips.
