5 Simple Ways to Entertain Your Dog at Home
I’m sure you’re sick of reading more information about COVID-19 but the truth is, it will affect us all in some way – whether that be through a change in the way we work, how we can interact with family and friends, or even the ways we entertain our dogs. It might not be something you’ve […]
PUP previews at Petcare Innovation Summit
This week, we’ve been presenting at the Petcare Innovation Summit in London. We were invited along to present our new digital experience, PUP, as part of the emerging brands Best in Show award. PUP has two simple missions: Take the stress out of pet parenting; and reduce the chance that a dog may end up in a rescue centre.
Why won’t my puppy walk?
The day has arrived when you can finally take your new puppy out for its first walk. For pet parents, this pretty much equates to sending your (human) child to school on their first day. You step out into the world together all excited to introduce them to life outside your home… they take a step forward… and then the breaks go on.
Does your workplace have a dog policy?
The idea of being able to take your dog to work with you every day can sound like bliss. No more feeling guilty about leaving them behind each morning. No need for organising dog walkers or family members to go and visit your dog while they’re left home alone. But actually, not all dogs are suited to being office dogs – and not all offices are suited to welcoming dogs.

When we put our stressed or fearful dogs in the wrong environment or context, then they are likely to blow. While Excitable Edgar’s energy is one of […]
Preparing Your New Dog for Fireworks Season
Having a dog improves our quality of life. They help to reduce our stress levels, to be more active, and we are never alone while having our four-legged friend around us. As pet parents, we want the best for the dogs in our lives. Firework season is approaching in the UK, which can be a […]
How you can go plastic free in your dog training
I’m sure when you think about dog training, you don’t think about high plastic waste. Generally speaking, our pets’ use of plastic is pretty low – with dog food packaging being the highest culprit. It’s Plastic Free July this month, so we thought what better time to introduce our brand new Click Treat app – […]
5 Days to Mindful Dog Walks
A recent survey, commissioned by Forthglade Natural Pet Food, found that almost two thirds of dog owners (63%) are unable to switch off from screen time whilst on the daily dog walk. Many of these owners are also experiencing stressful behaviours such as dogs pulling on the lead (68%) and barking at other dogs (49%), so myself […]
