"Brilliant in and out of the water."

Vicky & Bella’s journey shows just how powerful the I Need Space Dog Vest can be. 💛

“Can’t emphasise how big a difference this yellow coat has made to our rescue dog who is reactive to other dogs. It gives us confidence as owners, and other dog owners (and even non-dog owners!) seem to respect the message. Priceless.” – Vicky M & Bella

Sometimes, a little visibility makes all the difference, for your dog and for you. Thank you Vicky and Bella for the kind words and review! 💛

Does your pup need space too? This vest is more than a product, it’s peace of mind.

Many pet food brands highlight blueberries as a source of antioxidants, suggesting health benefits for pets. Blueberries are indeed rich in polyphenols, plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support both human and animal health.

In this study, researchers analyzed 40 popular bags of pet food (18 cat and 22 dog) purchased from four pet stores, Pet Valu, Global Pets, Rens Pet Depot, and Pet Smart, listing blueberries as an ingredient to measure quercetin, free phenolics, and antioxidant-protected phenolics. Overall, cat kibble had lower average levels of quercetin and antioxidant-protected phenolics compared to dog kibble. Free phenolics were minimal to undetectable in all products.

The findings suggest that extruded kibble containing blueberries is unlikely to provide meaningful levels of polyphenols on its own, and therefore may not serve as a reliable antioxidant source for cats and dogs.

Blueberries are one of the ultimate longevity foods, like a suit of armor for your pet.🐾🫐 Rich in prebiotic fiber and powerful polyphenols, they help repair DNA, fight free radicals, slow aging, protect against cell damage, and support the body’s antioxidant defenses making them one of the best anti-aging treats to share straight from your fridge! (opt for spray-free if possible!)

Start with ¼ to ½ tsp per 10lbs of body weight a day.

Myth: “Home adaptations like ramps and rugs are only necessary for senior or sedentary dogs - athletic dogs don’t need them.”

✅ Fact: Even athletic dogs benefit greatly from thoughtful home adaptations. In fact, their drive to stay active can put them at higher risk of injury on slippery floors, stairs, or during high-impact landings without support.

🏠 Why this matters: Caregivers of high-drive or working dogs can often overlook environmental changes, assuming their dog’s strength compensates for joint issues. But reducing slip risk, impact stress, and awkward movements with things like non-slip runners, stair gates, and well-placed ramps can preserve mobility and performance long-term.

Dog's can respond better to hand signals than verbal cues, meaning dog sign language is a viable option for training any dog.

Puppies sleep schedules are irregular. Exercise, dimming lights, and companionship are great ways to get a puppy to sleep through the night.

The growing prevalence of peas and pea protein in dog food has sparked debate among experts as to whether they are a good choice for use in pet food.

Did you know your dog can literally smell how you’re feeling? 👃🐶

Dogs have something called a vomeronasal organ - also known as Jacobson’s organ - that allows them to detect pheromones. It’s part of what makes their sense of smell so powerful, and it plays a big role in how they understand the world around them.

This means your dog might be able to sense emotional shifts, stress, fear, or even hormonal changes - before you say a word. 😮

So the next time your dog gives you extra snuggles when you’re feeling down, or reacts to you with sudden excitement or concern … it might not just be intuition. They’re picking up on something very real.

💬 Have you ever noticed your dog respond to your mood or emotions without you saying a thing? Tell us your story in the comments - we’d love to hear how well your dog knows you.

Those hovering hands?
They can cause more issues than solve.
"It worked for me"
Maybe it did.... for your individual dog and your exact circumstances but the advice of taking a bowl away and giving it back or patting a dog eating creates more issues than it prevents.

"I saw a trainer make a video and it worked for him".

Please.....I need to say this clearly, don't do it.

This is one area where following advice online does more harm than good.
They can bite.
That injury may not happen to you but to someone you love.

Puppy showing these issues?
Look to see if their food is adjusted in quantity as they grow.
Sometimes we forget just how quickly they are actually growing and how hungry they become because of that rapid growth.

Looking for more tips?
I'm really sorry..... there are none here.
This is an area that needs a thorough assessment, careful understanding and tailoring an individual plan.

There are no five minute fixes for such a complicated behaviour that affects everyone in the family.

Respect their need for space.

As our beloved dogs age, their once boundless energy may wane, and long walks they once enjoyed might become a challenge.

It’s hard to see them struggle, but it’s a natural part of growing older. Be patient and understanding—let them set the pace and take breaks when needed.

Shorter, slower walks can still bring joy, especially with time to sniff and explore. Consider alternatives, like gentle play or mental enrichment at home, to keep their days fulfilling.

Most importantly, cherish the moments you share, offering them comfort, love, and care as they navigate this slower, but still precious, stage of life.
