Before even considering what dog breed you want, where you will get the pup from, or when you’ll get it, there are a few things you need to think about before committing.
As owning a dog is a lifetime commitment, here are 6 things to consider before getting your lifetime companion.
Cats are independent animals, and they enjoy exploring and scavenging on their own. Despite this, they are known to be affectionate with their owners and people they trust.
Benefits of owning a cat include their ability to lower stress and anxiety levels, prevent allergies, improve your cardiovascular health and help to reduce loneliness.
Caring for your cat comes in a number of different forms such as providing them with a fresh litter box, giving them a safe environment to live in, and supplying them with a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Here are 5 tips for giving your cat the perfect diet, and improving their overall health and well-being.
For Petz NI are now stocking a fresh new range of locally supplied Rabbit & Guinea Pig Treats. These treats are made from Fresh Fruit, Vegetables & Grasses to encourage and promote the natural foraging behaviour in your small pets.

The appearance of dogs in bars and cafes is increasing significantly, with some even offering their doggie menu. Not only does this allow you to spend more time with your doggo, but it also helps spark social connections between you and your dog. It also creates a wholesome atmosphere for everyone. And, you can be sure your pet will receive lots of extra attention.
Dog nutrition has always been one of my favourite topics to discus and I love to educate owners on the benefits of feeding high quality and nutrient dense foods. A lot of the lower quality brands of food contain wheat and grains which quite a number of dogs are now allergic to. Most of these foods are also made of meat or vegetable derivatives which means off cuts and other parts of the animal unfit for human consumption. A high quality food will always state the exact ingredients right down to the botanicals and herbs included in their products, this means you can see exactly what your dog is consuming.
