Training your kitten to use a litter box and eventually a cat door, requires time, patience and a plan. Everyone in your home needs to understand how the training works, so they can reinforce good behaviour and support success.

Puppy training begins the moment your new friend arrives at your place. Toilet training, basic commands, walking on a lead and puppy crate training are the curriculum areas you need to focus on; patience, persistence and rewards will get you both there.

Your puppy is a companion animal with loads of energy. They rely on you for mental and physical stimulation, which means plenty of playtime, both at home and when you venture out. When travelling to the local dog park or another favourite spot, it's important to ensure your dog is kept safe in the car. Keep reading for helpful information on how to keep your puppy entertained, the social skills they need and travelling safely.

You might think kittens are self-grooming and self-entertaining, but daily brushing and plenty of playtime now is important. Both of these activities help your kitten become strong and healthy, as well as allowing you to develop a close bond and raise an adult cat that loves spending time with you.

Did you know that over 36% of lumps in dogs and 58% of lumps in cats are bad cancers that can spread? * Lumps and bumps on pets are common, but not normal. Sometimes they are harmless, but sometimes they are a sign that something more sinister may be going on. Please don’t leave lumps to chance – early detection can mean a better outcome for your furry friend.

Grooming isn’t just about good looks, it's also important for your puppy's health and happiness. In addition to a daily brush and the occasional shampoo, you'll also need to think about their paws, ears and teeth.
