🐾 Something I wish more pet owners knew… 🐾

Joint supplements aren’t just for old dogs who are already struggling to get up off their beds! 👀

When it comes to joint health, starting the conversation EARLY can be so important, especially for our bigger breeds like Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds, who are more prone to joint problems as they age.

The idea is to support their joints before problems become obvious, rather than waiting until they’re already stiff, sore or struggling to enjoy their usual walks. ❤️ Of course, supplements aren’t a magic fix, and the right time to start depends on the individual dog, so it’s always worth chatting to your vet.

And another thing… movement is so important! 🐕‍🦺

Dogs with arthritis still need to move! Gentle, regular walks help keep their muscles strong and their joints moving. When they stop moving altogether, they can become weaker and stiffer, making everyday life even harder. It’s about finding the right balance, though — little and often, at a pace they’re comfortable with, rather than pushing them too far.

AND CAT OWNERS, I haven’t forgotten about you! 🐈❤️

Cats can develop arthritis too, and they’re absolute pros at hiding discomfort. Maybe they’re not jumping onto their favourite spots anymore, playing less or taking longer to get comfortable. These little changes can be easy to miss, but they’re worth paying attention to!

Our pets don’t stay young forever, and although we can’t stop them from ageing, we can take steps to help them stay comfortable, active and happy for as long as possible. 🥹❤️

A little extra care now can make a big difference to their quality of life later.

Have you ever thought about joint health for your pet, or did you think it was something to worry about only when they got older? 🐾👇

*HAMSTER CAGES*

A little reminder about hamsters, especially with Christmas around the corner.

Those tiny plastic cages sold in pet shops are often far too small for a hamster to live a happy, healthy life. Just because they sell them in shops doesn’t mean they’re suitable.

Hamsters need SPACE, deep bedding to burrow in, a proper wheel, places to hide and things to explore. They are little animals with big needs, not toys to keep in a tiny cage.

Please do your research before bringing one home. The cage and everything they need can cost more than the hamster itself, and their care shouldn’t be an afterthought.

If your child wants a hamster this Christmas, please make sure you can give it the proper home it deserves BEFORE buying one.

Did you know cats may prefer eating from a flat dish?

Ever noticed your cat taking food from the edges of their bowl or leaving the food in the middle? 😹

Some cats don’t like their whiskers brushing against the sides of a deep bowl, so a wide, shallow dish might be more comfortable for them.

It’s a small thing, but sometimes the little changes make all the difference!

Cat owners, what does your kitty prefer? A bowl or a flat plate?

Here’s some bowl options: 🍽️

Stainless steel from any vet shop or even Checkers!
Or you can just use a plain tea plate.

Stainless steel and glazed ceramic are considered the best materials for cat bowls

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR PET OWNERS!

As a pet sitter and dog walker, I care deeply about the health and safety of every furry friend out there, not just the ones I work with, but all pets around the world.

There are certain foods that dogs and cats should NEVER eat, no matter how cute their begging faces may be. Some of these common human foods can be toxic or even life-threatening to pets, causing everything from stomach upset to serious organ damage.

I’m sharing this message because I want to help keep all pets safe and healthy. Whether you’re a new pet parent or a seasoned one, it’s so important to know what foods to avoid giving your dog or cat.

Please check out the image I’ve posted with safe alternatives and keep this info in mind, and feel free to share it with others!

Stay safe, furry friends!
