Is it time to start bringing your dog to work?

This week the UK government ended their Plan B Covid restrictions in England, meaning that people who have been encouraged to work from home are now being sent back to the office once more and yet again our pets are facing time alone at home. The COVID-19 pandemic saw a surge in dog ownership in the UK, to around 12 million.

Caring for your pets at Christmas

With just a couple more sleeps to go until the big day, it is important to remember that Christmas isn’t just an exciting time for children – our pets enjoy in the Christmas magic too.

But it’s not all fun and games, Christmas time can present a few hazards too. Although we can be tempted to share some of our own tasty treats with our pet, many of the foods that we...
