A while back, I impulse-bought an LED dog collar. It was cheap enough, but also a waste of money. It worked for a bit, then stopped holding a charge. That’s when it clicked: if you want visibility and reliability, you should probably look past dogwear brands and straight at companies that actually specialise in lighting….
“The benefits of owning a dog go beyond companionship. From mental health to daily structure—there’s lots to gain, but also, lifestyle changes are par for the course.” You’ve probably seen and heard this a million times: “Dogs are good for your health!” But what does that actually mean? Are we talking about warm cuddles and…
Think back to when you first brought your dog home. Did you mentally picture peaceful walks, open fields, and the joy of watching them sprint full-speed across the grass—ears flapping, tongue lolling, completely in their element?

Why Basic Commands Matter Basic commands do more than stop bad behaviour. They keep your dog safe, improve their well-being, and strengthen your connection. The Commands Every Dog Should Know 1.

Bloat… I thought I knew what it was. I mean, I’ve stuffed my face with cake and felt all bloated and uncomfortable. Once I learned about how it affects dogs though, I knew I had to do a deeper dive into how to prevent bloat in dogs. It’s so serious, every dog owner should be…
