We’ve had a great summer, but with the days gradually getting shorter, it’s time to start thinking about keeping your pup happy and healthy for the colder months ahead. Boots and jumper season has its benefits – who doesn’t love crisp autumn days and long walks in the countryside strewn with crunchy leaves? Here are some great tips from our team at Harbro Country Stores:
1. Hi-Vis coat
Really great way to keep you and your dog visible to other walkers and oncoming traffic, especially if you regularly walk before or after work.
2. New dog bed
Now is the time to upgrade those sleeping arrangements – keep them warm and cosy (especially important for older dogs). Choose a bed that can be easily washed and kept clean.
3. Keeping clean
Mud, rain, wind and snow are great fun to play in – not so much when it comes to drying your pup or keeping their coat clean and well brushed. Invest in a drying towel / coat, a good quality brush or comb, some lovely new shampoo and conditioner to keep everyone smelling fresh as summer.
4. Car / Door mat
Stop those muddy feet and paws! A new absorbent car mat or door mat will save on some cleaning time.
5. New toys & treats
Along with the shorter days, your dogs could be stuck inside more – so it is important to keep them occupied with toys, chews and treats.
