Part of being a dog parent is choosing toys and watching your dog love and play with the new toy you took time picking out because you knew they’d love it! Part of the frustration of being a dog parent is finding broken and damaged parts of a toy all around your home after your dog has ripped their lovely new toy apart! Our dogs seem to enjoy the destruction of their toys, but why is their instinct to destroy their toys so quickly? In this blog, we discuss why your dog destroys their toys.
Why Does My Dog Destroy His Toys
There are several reasons your dog will rip open their toys, and it’ll depend on the type of toy too. A plush toy may take minutes for them to destroy, where as a chew toy may take longer for them to get through. Ultimately, dog toys are designed to trigger their prey instinct and to keep boredom at bay. Every dog needs to release their energy from time to time, and if your dog is naturally high in energy, you might find they rip open their toys to create their own fun. If your dog does need to release their energy, try a puzzle toy which will reward them for using their brain and paws to get into their treat.
Although it may seem odd to us, destroying their toys will be fun to your dog. They’ll get immense satisfaction and mental stimulation after ripping open their toys, often panting in delight, proud of themselves. Although it seems like great fun, do monitor your dog whilst they’re destroying their toys to keep an eye on any potential choking hazards.
If you’re looking for an ‘indestructible’ dog toy, unfortunately it’s unlikely you’ll find one suitable for your pup. There are toys that your dog will find harder to destroy, however dog toys can’t be indestructible due to damage to your pups’ teeth/jaws. So, it’s best to buy the toys your dog can destroy safely – you can find our range of plush, squeak free, chew and squeaky toys here.
Why Do Dogs Shake Their Toys?
You may be wondering why your dog shakes their head aggressively with a toy in their mouth – this is their ‘shake and kill’ instinct coming through from their wolf ancestors. In the wild, the shaking would disorient and immobilise your dog’s prey. You’ll find this instinct is more prevalent in a hunting breed, such as a Labrador or Beagle, and they’ll destroy plush toys especially with squeakers quite quickly.
Are Dog Toys Meant To Be Destroyed?
Dog toys are designed to exercise your dogs prey instincts, however it is important if your dog does rip open their toys, to discard of the toy as soon as the toy becomes unsafe. You should remove anything inedible to avoid your dog ingesting anything they shouldn’t. This applies to all toys, even rubber toys once they rip/tear.

How to Keep Your Dog Entertained During a Winter Road Trip
Winter road trips can be a delightful experience, offering picturesque landscapes and cosy adventures. However, when you have a dog on a road trip, especially during the colder months, it's essential to ensure your furry friend is not only safe but also entertained. A bored or restless pet can lead to distractions, which might compromise safety on the road.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore expert tips on how to keep your dog entertained and secure during your winter travels, as well as recommend some of our favourite travel products to make your road trip as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Securing Your Dog in the Car
Before focusing on entertainment, safety should be your top priority. So, how do you secure a dog in a car? Dogs should be properly restrained to prevent injuries in case of sudden stops or accidents. There are several options:
Dog Seat Belts and Harnesses: These attach to your car's seat belt system and your dog's harness, keeping them safely in place.
Crates and Carriers: A sturdy crate can be one of the safest ways for your dog to travel. Ensure it's well-ventilated and secured so it doesn't shift during the drive.
Pet Barriers: If you have an SUV or a wagon, a pet barrier can keep your dog confined to the cargo area.
Not only do these methods protect your dog, but they also prevent them from distracting the driver. Do dogs have to be restrained in a car? In the UK it is legally required to restrain pets during travel.

Here's a checklist for winter pet travel essentials:
Food and Water: Pack enough for the trip, including a travel water bowl.

Dog Entertainment Toys for the Road
Keeping your dog entertained is crucial for a peaceful journey. Dog entertainment toys are a fantastic way to occupy your pet's time. Here are some dog toys to keep dogs entertained during a road trip:
Chew Toys: Durable and safe chew toys can keep your dog busy for hours. We love the Zeus Nosh bones, they are great for chewers and are super long lasting.
Food Dispensing Toys: Toys that dispense treats when manipulated can stimulate your dog's mind. A KONG is a great choice for a road trip as your dog needs minimal space to be able to retrieve the food from the toy and you can fill them with whatever your dog likes, we love to use our dogs wet food as a fun way to give them their dinner.
Scented Toys: Engage your dog's sense of smell with toys infused with enticing scents. The Gnosher bones are a great choice they have chicken, bacon and chocolate scented chew toys which your dog is sure to love!
When selecting toys, ensure they are appropriate for your dog's size and chewing strength. Avoid toys that can be easily destroyed and pose a choking hazard.
Interactive Games and Activities
Beyond toys, there are other ways on how to entertain your dog during a long drive:
Training Sessions: Use the time to reinforce commands. Simple training can mentally stimulate your dog.
Car-Friendly Games: Play games like 'find the treat' by hiding small treats around your dog's area.
Calming Music: Some dogs respond well to music specifically composed for pets.
Remember to praise and reward your dog for good behaviour, reinforcing a positive experience during the trip.
Regular Breaks and Exercise
A crucial aspect of travelling with a dog in the car is scheduling regular stops. Dogs need to stretch, relieve themselves, and burn off energy. Plan to stop every 2-3 hours at pet-friendly rest areas.
Short Walks: A brisk walk can help alleviate restlessness.
Playtime: If possible, engage in a quick game of fetch or tug-of-war.
Hydration: Offer water during stops to keep your dog hydrated.
These breaks not only benefit your dog but can also help you stay alert and refreshed.
Comfort and Familiarity
Creating a comfortable environment is key to how to keep dog entertained and relaxed. Bring along your dog's favourite blanket or bed, which carries familiar scents. This can provide comfort in an unfamiliar setting.
Additionally, maintaining a consistent routine with feeding and walking times can help reduce anxiety. Familiarity in routine can make travelling with pets less stressful for both of you.
Weather Considerations
Winter travel comes with unique challenges. Be mindful of the following:
Temperature Control: Ensure the car is warm enough, but not overheated.
Avoiding Drafts: Position your dog away from cold drafts coming through doors or windows.
Clothing: For short-haired breeds or small dogs, consider a dog jumper or coat.
Final Thoughts on Road Trips with Dogs
Embarking on a road trip with dogs during winter can be a rewarding experience with proper planning. By securing your dog safely, providing engaging toys, and attending to their comfort, you can ensure a pleasant journey. With the right preparation, you and your canine companion can enjoy some of the best road trips with dogs, creating unforgettable memories along the way.

The festive season is a time for family gatherings, lavish meals, and indulging in holiday favourites. As you prepare your Christmas dinner, it's natural to wonder if your canine companion can partake in the festivities. After all, those pleading eyes at the dinner table are hard to resist. However, not all human foods are safe for dogs, and some can even be harmful. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore which Christmas foods your dog can and can't eat, ensuring a happy and healthy holiday for all.
Can Dogs Eat Turkey?
Yes, but with precautions. Turkey is a lean protein that can be a healthy addition to your dog's diet. If you're asking, "Can dogs eat turkey?" or "Should dogs eat turkey?" the answer is affirmative, provided it's prepared appropriately. Offer your dog plain, cooked turkey meat without any seasoning, skin, or bones. The skin is high in fat and seasoning, which can upset your dog's stomach, while bones pose a choking hazard and can splinter, causing internal injuries.
Can Dogs Eat Brussel Sprouts?
In moderation, yes. Brussels sprouts are rich in vitamins and fibre, which can be beneficial for dogs. If you've been wondering, "Can dogs eat Brussels sprouts?" the answer is that they can, but only when cooked and served plain. Avoid adding any butter, oil, or seasoning that could be harmful.
Can dogs eat raw Brussels sprouts?
While not toxic, raw Brussels sprouts are hard to digest and may cause gas or bloating. It's best to serve them cooked and in small quantities.
Can Dogs Eat Roast Potatoes?
Only if unseasoned and cooked properly. Roast potatoes are a staple in many Christmas dinners. If you're asking, "Can dogs eat roast potatoes?" the answer is yes, but with caveats. Potatoes should be cooked thoroughly and served without any seasoning, butter, or oils. Seasonings like garlic and onion powder are toxic to dogs, and excess fats can lead to pancreatitis.
Can Dogs Eat Gravy?
Generally, no. Gravy often contains ingredients that are harmful to dogs, such as onions, garlic, high levels of salt, and fats. If you're considering, "Can dogs eat gravy?" or "Can dogs eat gravy granules?" it's best to avoid sharing gravy with your pet. These ingredients can cause digestive upset and, in severe cases, toxicity.
Can Dogs Eat Stuffing?
No, it's not recommended. Stuffing is a flavourful side dish but usually contains onions, garlic, herbs like sage, and other ingredients that are toxic to dogs. Questions like "Can dogs eat stuffing?" or "Can dogs eat stuffing mix?" are common, but the answer is a firm no. Even "Can dogs eat sage and onion stuffing?" Absolutely not, as both sage and onions are harmful to canine health.
Can Dogs Eat Christmas Pudding?
Absolutely not. Christmas pudding is loaded with ingredients like raisins, currants, alcohol, and spices, all of which are toxic to dogs. If you're pondering, "Can dogs eat Christmas pudding?" keep it far away from your furry friend. Ingestion can lead to kidney failure and other severe health issues.
Can Dogs Eat Christmas Dinner?
With careful selection, yes. You might be thinking, "Can dogs eat Christmas dinner?" or "What can dogs eat on a Christmas dinner?" While many traditional Christmas foods are off-limits, you can create a dog-friendly plate with the following:
Plain turkey meat: Unseasoned and without skin or bones.
Cooked vegetables: Carrots, green beans, and cooked brussels sprouts (in moderation).
Plain mashed potatoes: Without butter, milk, or seasoning.
Always introduce new foods gradually and in small amounts to monitor for any adverse reactions.
Foods to Avoid at Christmas
To ensure your dog's safety during the holidays, keep the following foods out of reach:
Onions and garlic: Found in many dishes like stuffing and gravy.
Chocolate: Contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs.
Grapes and raisins: Can cause kidney failure.
Alcohol: Even small amounts can be dangerous.
Nuts: Some nuts are toxic, and all are high in fat.
Tips for a Dog-Friendly Christmas
Educate Guests: Inform your family and friends about the do's and don'ts of feeding your dog.
Safe Treats: Have dog-friendly treats on hand to satisfy your pet without risking their health.
Secure Trash Bins: Ensure that leftovers and scraps are disposed of properly to prevent your dog from scavenging.
When in Doubt, Consult Your Vet
If you're unsure about a particular food, it's best to consult your veterinarian. They can provide personalised advice based on your dog's health history and dietary needs.
Dog Safe Christmas Dinner
If you’re unsure about what to give your dog for Christmas dinner this year why not make life easy with the Lily’s Kitchen three bird feast? Made from freshly prepared turkey, duck and goose, with seasonal parsnips and cranberries added for extra flavour, this wholesome dinner is easy on digestion for happy, healthy snacking.
Alternatively if your dog prefers toys we have a really fun range of Christmas dinner themed toys to choose from, including turkeys, parsnips and carrots. Our personal favourite is this Christmas dinner on a rope, we just love the gravy jug and the pig in blanket! Shop our Elves' toy shop here.
Conclusion
The holiday season is a time of joy and togetherness, and it's natural to want to include your dog in the festivities. By understanding which Christmas foods your dog can and can't eat, you can ensure they remain healthy and happy. Remember, when in doubt, stick to your dog's regular diet or offer them specially formulated dog treats. This way, everyone can enjoy the holiday season safely.
Get everything you need to have the paw-fect Christmas in our Santa’s grotto, from festive fun toys to tasty treats, we have everything you need to give your pup the Christmas of their dreams.

Diabetes in Dogs: Understanding, Recognising, and Managing the Condition
Diabetes in dogs is a serious health condition that, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications. As responsible pet owners, it's crucial to understand the signs and symptoms of diabetes in dogs in the UK to ensure timely diagnosis and management. This comprehensive guide delves into the types of diabetes affecting dogs, the symptoms to watch out for, and the steps you can take to manage this condition effectively.
Types of Diabetes in Dogs
Diabetes in dogs primarily manifests in two forms: Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus. While both conditions share a common name, they differ significantly in their causes and effects on a dog's body.
Diabetes Mellitus in Dogs
Diabetes Mellitus is the more common form seen in dogs. It occurs when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or when the body can't utilise the insulin properly. This type of diabetes is akin to Type 1 diabetes in humans and is prevalent among middle-aged and older dogs.
Diabetes Insipidus in Dogs
Canine Diabetes Insipidus, also known as "water diabetes," is a rarer condition. It arises when the kidneys can't conserve water due to a hormonal imbalance involving antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Diabetes Insipidus in dogs leads to excessive urination and thirst, but unlike Diabetes Mellitus, it doesn't affect blood sugar levels.
Symptoms of Diabetes in Dogs in the UK
Recognising the signs of diabetes in dogs is vital for early intervention. Symptoms may vary depending on the type of diabetes but commonly include:
Increased Thirst and Urination: One of the hallmark symptoms of both Diabetes Mellitus and Insipidus in dogs is polydipsia (excessive thirst) and polyuria (frequent urination).
Weight Loss: Despite an increased appetite, dogs may lose weight due to the body's inability to utilise nutrients properly.
Lethargy: A noticeable decrease in energy levels and reluctance to exercise.
Changes in Appetite: Fluctuations ranging from increased hunger to a complete lack of appetite.
Vision Problems: Development of cataracts leading to cloudy eyes and potential blindness, particularly in Diabetes Mellitus.
Symptoms Specific to Diabetes Insipidus in Dogs
For diabetes insipidus dogs, additional symptoms may include:
Dehydration: Despite drinking large amounts of water, dogs may become dehydrated due to excessive water loss.
Electrolyte Imbalance: This can lead to muscle weakness and other systemic issues.
Diabetes in Puppies
While diabetes is more common in adult dogs, diabetes insipidus in puppies can occur, albeit rarely. Puppies showing signs of excessive thirst and urination should be evaluated promptly. Early detection is crucial to manage the condition effectively and ensure normal growth and development.
Diagnosing Diabetes in Dogs
If you observe any symptoms of diabetes in dogs in the UK, it's essential to consult your veterinarian. Diagnosis typically involves:
Blood Tests: To measure glucose levels and assess organ function.
Urinalysis: To detect glucose or ketones in the urine.
Water Deprivation Test: Specifically for diagnosing Diabetes Insipidus, this test evaluates the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine.
Treatment and Management of Diabetes in Dogs
Diabetes Mellitus Treatment
Managing Diabetes Mellitus often requires:
Insulin Therapy: Regular insulin injections to regulate blood sugar levels.
Dietary Changes: High-fibre, low-sugar foods to help control glucose levels.
Regular Monitoring: Frequent vet visits to monitor glucose levels and adjust treatment as needed.
Managing Diabetes Insipidus in Dogs
For canine diabetes insipidus, treatment may include:
Medication: Administration of synthetic ADH to help the kidneys conserve water.
Fluid Management: Ensuring constant access to fresh water to prevent dehydration.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Consistent Routine: Maintaining a regular feeding and exercise schedule to help stabilise blood sugar levels.
Weight Management: Keeping your dog at a healthy weight to improve their response to insulin.
Monitoring: Keeping a close eye on your dog's symptoms and reporting any changes to your vet promptly.
Conclusion
Understanding diabetes in dogs is crucial for early detection and effective management. Whether dealing with Diabetes Mellitus or diabetes insipidus in dogs, being vigilant about any diabetes symptoms can make a significant difference in your pet's quality of life. If you notice any signs of diabetes in your dog, consult your veterinarian promptly. With proper care, many dogs with diabetes lead happy, active lives.
