Our pets and specifically our cats and dogs rely heavily on their teeth and whereas we can brush our own teeth twice a day, our pets cannot. Neglecting the dental hygiene of your pet can leave them uncomfortable and in serious pain, make them go off their food and in some cases can leave them vulnerable to more serious infections elsewhere.
Whether you are taking your dog to the vets or taking a road trip to a holiday destination somewhere in the UK, making sure that you are prepared to travel with your dog is vital. Naturally taking your dog with you to fun and interesting places as the weather improves is a priority for many dog owners but this summer, what can you do to make your dogs travelling as enjoyable as possible?
Here at Seapets we love every breed of dog, from the large to the small, from the energetic to the downright lazy. Recently the figures for the most popular dogs of 2010 have been released, calculated on the number of breeds registered with the Kennel Club. As you would expect the list contains the usual suspects, but there are some surprises.
Most notable is the inclusion of the Pug, a small breed that has been heavily popularised by celebrities and whilst there aren’t many other breeds of toy dog within the top ten, according to the Kennel Club there has been a considerable increase in their number, largely attributable to the influence of celebrities and popular culture.

Our dogs bring us massive amounts of joy every day which is why it is so important to ensure that they have a healthy diet. But with so many dog foods out there, how do you know which are the best?
As with humans there is no one food that is the best option for all dogs. Ultimately as a dog owner it is important to understand what type of food is going to be most suitable; you may even have to try a number of different types and brands before finding a dog food that keeps your pooch healthy and happy.
When choosing dog food for your pet it is important to consider the age of your dog and more widely its stage of life. For instance, puppy food typically has much larger amounts of proteins, vitamins, calories and minerals to aid growth and development. Conversely, an adult dog does not require the same nutritional qualities in its food; if they are fed puppy food they can become overweight. Similarly, older dogs may require more easily digestible food. More ›
With the cold weather on its way and the increasing frequency of blustery gales, torrential rains and even snow and sleet, taking the dog for a walk can seem a daunting task. Whilst we can put on another layer, wrap up warm with hats, scarves and gloves our canine comrades have no such protection, just the same coat they wear all year round.
This time of year is the perfect opportunity to find your pooch a new dog coat, ensuring that your four legged friend can stay dry, cosy and comfortable whatever the weather. No matter what you need for your dog, whether it is a fashionable little number showing off you and your dog’s personal style, a shower proof light coat for the occasional downpour or an all weather number perfect for sleet, snow and the occasional blizzard there are a number of measurement tips that are essential when choosing dog coats.
