Food matters to your pet’s wellbeing, but the right accessories can make everyday life more comfortable and practical. Here are the essentials worth considering at home.
Food and water bowls
Choose bowls that suit your pet’s size and eating habits. Consider size and height, easy to clean materials such as stainless steel or ceramic, and a non slip base to reduce spills. For some cats, a wide, shallow bowl can help avoid whisker discomfort.
Lead and harness: comfort and safety on walks
A poorly fitted lead or harness can make walks uncomfortable. A harness spreads pressure across the body, while a collar may suit a calm dog that walks without pulling. Whatever you choose, check the fit and avoid pressure on the neck.
Beds and resting places
Good rest matters for pets of every age. Choose a bed large enough for your pet to stretch out, made from durable, washable material. Adult and senior dogs may benefit from extra support.
Toys are more than entertainment
Suitable toys can help reduce boredom and stress, stimulate the mind and provide an outlet for play. Choose toys for your pet’s size and temperament, and inspect them regularly for wear or damage.
Grooming and hygiene products
Keeping your pet clean can help support skin, coat and general comfort. Useful essentials include a brush suited to their coat, pet specific shampoo, and dental and ear care products. Avoid using products made for humans unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.
