Cooling Coats - A Must-Have This Summer!

With all this hot weather we've been having lately, it is vital that we help our dogs stay cool! One way to keep your canine companion comfortable in the heat is to buy them a Cooling Coat! Here are a few I found while browsing online...

'Cooling Coat Aquamat Chiller'

The 'Cooling Coat Aquamat Chiller' is specially designed to hold water and cool your dog down but won't get your dog wet! Brilliant! The Chiller is a multi-purpose coat, suitable for relaxing in the garden, travelling in the car, or even doing agility! Prices range from: £25.00 for an XS (30cm) to £45.00 for an XL (70cm), which is a very reasonable price range!

'Ruffwear Swamp Cooler'

What a cool name! The 'Ruffwear Swamp Cooler' is the ultimate cooling coat that has a 3 layer construction to maximise the cooling effect the coat has on your dog. The Swamp Cooler is designed for dogs on the go. It's sleek, sporty...it's got the whole package! At £69.95 it's a little on the pricey side, but the quality looks super!

'Ruffwear Jet Stream Cooling Vest'

A cheaper alternative to the 'Swamp Cooler' is the 'Ruffwear Jet Stream Cooling Vest' which looks just as sleek and sporty as the 'Swamp Cooler'! The 'Jet Stream Cooling Vest' is £44.95 and efficiently cools dogs during light and fast, high-intensity adventures through evaporative cooling. So if your dog is active and adventurous, this is the cooler for you! If your dog is like Louie who enjoys the quieter life, lazing around in the garden, a cheaper cooler may be a more practical solution.

Treat Review: Neoh & Nobo - Bakehouse for Dogs

Neoh & Nobo are a small and very dedicated team of conscious dog owners who produce handmade dog treats derived from natural sources! If you’re a regular reader of our social media posts then you’ll know that we do love our natural and organic handmade dog treats! While Neoh & Nobo officially launched on the 1^st May 2017, we were lucky enough to nab a sneak preview of all the goodies soon to be on offer, and even tried some too earlier in April! Read our review below on our thoughts of this new and upcoming company!

The packaging is simplistic, yet effective and contains all the information a dog owner could wish for: ingredients, nutritional benefits, feeding guidelines and how to store upon opening. Although these treats can last up to 4 weeks if kept sealed in a cool, dry place, once they’re open, we don’t think the treats will last too long though since they’re so yummy!

“The beauty of simplicity derived from nature” – Neoh & Nobo

Neoh & Nobo’s packaging is environmentally friendly which shows that their commitment to sustainability goes above and beyond the ingredients used in their treats. All their packaging is either recyclable or reusable and they even encourage their customers to protect the environment too with their packaging recycling incentive. When visiting Neoh & Nobo at a trade show simply bring along your old treat packaging and you can enjoy a lovely 10% discount at their stall! We think this is a fabulous idea! 

“All of our ingredients are 100% free from salt, sugar, preservatives, additives and animal by-products” – Neoh & Nobo

Handmade in small batches daily, Neoh & Nobo offer biscuits and butters in four wonderful flavours for your canine companions to enjoy. These include: Peanut Butter, Banana X Turmeric, Butternut X Vanilla Bean and Papaya X Pumpkin Seed. We received a box of Banana X Turmeric treats in the mail for Louie to try. These specific biscuits contained: banana, turmeric, spirulina, ginger, flaxseed, buckwheat flour, coconut flour, molasses and coconut oil, all of which are combined to help support the normal function of the digestive system. Since Louie is becoming an old boy now, I am specifically drawn to treats which possess health benefits, are organic and are made using natural ingredients. Neoh & Nobo were therefore right up my street!

Louie’s Banana X Turmeric dog biscuits went down a treat and were thoroughly enjoyed, perhaps enjoyed a little too much since he was begging keenly and relentlessly for more! Neoh & Nobo recommend that you feed up to 2 treats a day depending on the size and activity of the dog.

Overall, Neoh & Nobo are a real asset to the canine community and provide owners with natural, organic and environmentally friendly treats for our companions to enjoy without all the nasty artificial additives seen in a lot of dog treats currently on the market. Big paws up from us Neoh & Nobo! Keep up the good work!
