Our latest blog looks at the puppy blues: what they are, why they happen, and what actually helps. Whether you're in the thick of it right now or want to be better prepared, this one's worth a read.

We recently adopted Ace, a 5YO Bull Arab. When he came into our family, he weighed 42kg, 42kgs I hear you say, that’s NOT big. You would be right, but size is relative, I guess. I have always loved big dogs and I’m very comfortable around them, however as we have always been Labrador & Retriever owners so to us a dog that weighs 42kg, and stands as tall as a dining table is big.

Did you know that smell is the most powerful of all the dog’s senses? Yep, that’s right, a dog’s nose can have an internal nose area (Olfactory epithelium) of between 20-200 sq cm depending on breed, we as humans have 2-4 sq cm.
