Cats and Travel

Great & Small Soft Pet Den

The cat needs to see the vet/groomer/in-laws – and you need to somehow get your less than willing moggy into a carrier without demolishing the house in the process. While dogs generally go bananas when given the chance to venture into the big wide world, cats tend to come over all...

Laughing Dog Cheesy Oaties

Itchy Scratchy Dog!

Posted on March 6, 2013
John Paul Oatmeal Shampoo

It’s a cacophony of sounds you hear several times a day. The unmistakable chink of the metal tag, the sound like someone dragging their fingers through the carpet, and the grunts of effort from the dog. Yep, the dog is scratching again. You can’t put your finger on it and it’s...

Bird Seed Feeding Made Easy

Posted on February 28, 2013
Great & Small Luxury Wild Bird Seed
