Our Top Wellness Products For Your Dog

April is coming to an end but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep the ethos of Active Dog Month going all year round. We’ve scoured the internet for some creative, techy or just plain useful items to add to your pet shopping list to help you make the most of your time with your furry friends keeping them physically and mentally fit!

From GPS devices to track their location and well-being to slow-feeding bowls that aid digestion and good gut health, read on to find out our favourite items right now…

Look out for some of the brands that are featured on our Pickle Perks platform where, as a policy holder you can get access to a host of pet-friendly offers.

1. Tractive GPS Tracker

Our pets love to go AWOL especially when we’re out and about, running off in giddy excitement. With a Tractive GPS tracker, you can keep track of their location on your next walk! 

But it doesn’t stop there, with a tracker you can also monitor their activity levels and sleep setting goals and notice any patterns in their wellbeing.

2. Cooling dog wrap

As April marks the height of Spring, we can’t help but think of Summer on the horizon.

Whilst we’re excited for all the fun to be had outdoors with our furry friends, we know that it can get pretty warm around here.

That’s why we recommend these Cooling Dog Wraps, that are designed to mimic your dog’s internal cooling processes and help avoid heat related illnesses. Our friends at FirstVet are fans too*!

Keep them happy and comfortable when you’re out and about this Summer.

*P.S As a policy holder you can access unlimited video calls with vets from FirstVet!

3. slow feeder dog bowls and toys

If your dogs are anything like ours then they love to speedily tuck into their food, but did you know this can be detrimental to their health?

From digestive issues to choking and bloating (GDV), there are many reasons why it’s advised to encourage your dog to slow down whilst eating. 

Slow-feeding bowls like this one available on Omlet are great for encouraging them to slow down whilst also mentally engaging them.

4. Bungee Tug rope

Improve your next game of tug with this tug rope tennis ball combo from Tug-e-nuff! The perfect toy to use for playtime both indoors and out.

We talked all about the benefits of Tug in our last blog, it’s great for stimulating your dog mentally, encourages them to exert some energy and also boosts your relationship!

We hope you’ve had a wonderful time this April (Active Dog Month) and that you’ve enjoyed sticking around with us throughout. Make sure to read the rest of our Pet Tips for more advice and stay tuned in to our socials for guest appearances from our friends at FirstVet.
