Adopting a rescue cat?

Here's why pet insurance matters 🐱

Bringing a rescue cat into your home is a rewarding experience, but it often comes with unexpected health challenges. Many rescue cats, especially older ones or those with medical needs, might have been overlooked due to concerns about potential vet bills. Pet insurance can alleviate these worries, ensuring your new feline friend receives the care they deserve without financial strain 💸

That’s why we’ve partnered with Stray & Co to help support cats in shelters!

Check out their profile on TikTok () and see how you can help these furry friends find their forever homes 🐾💛

Autumn dog walks are here 🍂

As September rolls on and the leaves start to fall, we know many of you are loving the crisp air, golden scenery, and cosy walks with your pups... even if it's getting a bit chillier!

As the seasons change, there are a few things to watch out for on your adventures:

⚠️ Fallen fruits like apples, plums, and cherries can be toxic to dogs
⚠️ Mushrooms, acorns, and conkers are all toxic to dogs
⚠️ Leaf piles can hide sharp sticks, litter, or even other animals
⚠️ Always wash and dry your muddy dog after to help prevent illness
⚠️ On dark evenings use reflective collars, leads, and harnesses

Stay safe, stay cosy, and enjoy the season with your four-legged friend 🍁

Why do budgies sleep on one leg?

Because if they lifted the other, they’d fall over 😆

In all seriousness, budgies (and many birds) tuck one leg up when they sleep to conserve body heat and give the other leg a well-earned rest. It’s perfectly normal, and a sign your bird feels safe and comfy 💛

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day 🧡

Today we’re celebrating all the fiery fluffballs out there including the gingers, the marmalades, and the orange tabbies 🐾

Did you know? Only 1 in 5 ginger cats are female! That’s because the gene responsible for their gorgeous colour is on the X chromosome and since males only need one copy of it, they’re far more likely to be redheads.

Whether they’re sassy, snuggly, or absolute agents of chaos, we think they deserve a little extra love today 👑🐱

A comprehensive range of pet insurance cover levels and optional extras to suit your needs. Protect your pet from the unexpected now.

Did you know dogs do sweat? 🐶

Their only sweat glands are in their paws so that’s why you might spot damp footprints on a hot day. To cool down, dogs mostly rely on panting, which helps evaporate moisture from their mouths and keeps them comfy in the heat ☀️🐾

So, next time your pup’s panting, they’re just working hard to stay cool!
