ORIGINAL SQUISHMALLOWS PET BEDS
Could this be the sofest dog bed we’ve ever tested?! When the Squishmallow bed arrived in the office, anyone who touched it was wishing there is a human bed equivalent!
Our tester dog, Teddy, loved it… and he’s typically snoozing on the sofa than his normal dog bed! It’s incredibly soft, well made and colourful – and the first pineapple bed we’ve seen!
The beds come in 3 sizes Small (20”) RRP £29.99, Medium (24”) RRP £39.99 and Large (30”) RRP £49.99 – available from Pets At Home.
SNUFFLE MATS
A snuffle mat is an enrichment toy that stimulates a dog’s natural foraging instincts. It’s a mat with fabric strips where you can hide treats, encouraging the dog to sniff and search for food. It helps dogs by providing mental stimulation, slowing down their eating, reducing boredom and stress, and offering a form of physical activity. Our test dog, Teddy, loved this one (Amazon, £16.99), with plenty of hiding places to sniff out his favourite treats!
What is a Buddy Dog?
Buddy Dogs are for children with sight loss, to help them to increase their physical activity, build confidence, create better relationships with others and develop a sense of fun and trust.
Buddy Dogs have been given a career change because life as a guide dog wasn’t quite right for them. They may help a child feel more enthusiastic, and confident of getting out and about, but as they are not guide dogs, they shouldn’t be used as a mobility aid or for sighted assistance.
