The little dog who changed the world – Lucy’s Law

We’ve just pre-ordered our copy of Lucy’s Law, written by Marc Abraham, the story of a beautiful little dog (and some very determined humans) who changed the law and helped end puppy farming in the UK. Lucy’s Law comes into effect on 6th April 2020, after which puppies and kittens can no longer be sold by third-party sellers such as pet shops, or commercial dealers unless they have bred the animal themselves. Anyone looking to buy or adopt a puppy or kitten under six months old must either deal directly with the breeder, or an animal rehoming centre. The love I have for my dog Vinnie constantly
Companion Animal and Behaviour Expert

Did you know we offer expert advice on our PetsNet Forum on a range of generic topics? We would like to introduce behaviourist Penran “Petshrink” Higgs our guest expert offering tips and advice on everything from separation anxiety to why your dog loves digging. We asked Penran to tell us more about herself and her work in her own words, here’s what she had to say: Lots of dogs need a bit of help when it comes to training: sit, wait, come here etc. But what happens when your pet does things that you wouldn’t expect to get sorted in a training class? What happens when your

Our lovely friend Albie…

We have some very sad news today about one of our pack, our most adorable supporter and poster boy Albie sadly went over the rainbow bridge on Monday, Albie ran out of his local park on a play date and didn’t make it safely to the other side of the road. We want to pay tribute to our little friend by way of happy times and the love and joy he brought to his pals and all who knew him. We first met Albie at his work/play office, Holly and Lil, when he was a very young puppy and he literally
New landlords rule to allow pets

The government has recently announced changes to its model tenancy agreement to make it easier for tenants to keep well behaved pets in rented properties, great news for the rise of pet friendly? We’re not sure but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. We asked Deborah Rook, Animal Law expert for her thoughts “The government are expressly recognising the importance of pets to people and how traumatic it is to have to give up a pet when moving into rental housing, this is great news. However, merely changing the wording in the model tenancy agreement will not

Gifts for the pet who has it all

What do you buy the Dog who has everything? The Dog who has a basket full of toys but only ever plays with three of them, the Dog who doesn’t care what day of the year it is as long as you are there to give him a cuddle, take him for a walk and tell him he’s a good boy? All he needs and wants is love and attention which he gets in abundance, so when we sat him down a couple of years ago and explained “no more presents” for any of us, we will be donating to
Bibi’s story…

We met Bibi on a sunny afternoon in 2015. Due to a change in life circumstances her owner was no longer able to keep her. We agreed to wait a couple of days before deciding whether or not to adopt her. However, after one look at her cute black and white face we were sold and agreed to pick her up the next day. We weren’t quite expecting the challenge that followed…Bibi was extremely nervous around both dogs and humans and so our journey began. We kept the first couple of weeks as quiet and calm as possible, slowly introducing her to people and experiences.
