Every pet parent knows the struggle: you turn your back for two minutes and suddenly the slippers are shredded, the cat’s scratching the couch again, or the dog has decided to bark at everything from passing cars to the fridge hum. These behaviours are normal - but that doesn’t mean they have to take over your home. Here’s a practical guide to understanding why pets do these things and how you can gently redirect them using positive, effective strategies.

As the temperature drops and the days grow shorter, our pets rely on us to help them stay warm, comfortable, and safe. Just like us, they feel the effects of the cold — from chilly walks and icy paws to dry indoor air and changes in routine. Whether you’re caring for a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or a small animal, a few thoughtful adjustments can make winter much more enjoyable for your furry (or feathered) friend.

Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year — full of costumes, decorations, and treats. But while we enjoy the festivities, our pets often see things very differently.

The loud fireworks, constant doorbell rings, flashing lights, and unfamiliar costumes can be confusing and frightening for animals. Dogs may bark excessively or hide; cats might run for cover and refuse to eat. Even small pets like rabbits or guinea pigs can become stressed by sudden noises and changes in routine.

Every October 29th, cat lovers around the world come together to celebrate National Cat Day - a day dedicated to honouring our furry companions and all the joy they bring into our lives. Whether your cat is a mischievous kitten, a curious explorer, or a laid-back lap cat, this is the perfect opportunity to spoil them a little extra and show your appreciation for their unconditional love.
