dog-safety-walks-covid-19
It’s been five weeks of lockdown in South Africa in the fight against the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Level 5 full lockdown meant no walkies for our dogs, which produced more sad faces, confusion and possibly even holes in the garden from frustration.

best pet-friendly beaches in cape town
South Africa is home to some of the most picturesque beaches in the entire world, and you haven’t experienced beauty until you’ve watched the sun setting on the waves – and dug sand out of places that you didn’t know you had… Our dogs love the beach just as much as we do, but not […]
keep your dog hydrated
It’s summer in South Africa, and in Cape Town, we’re overheating properly with temperatures soaring in the high 30s. Dehydration can be very dangerous to your dog, and as a pet owner it’s your responsibility to ensure that your dog has access to clean water at all times – especially when you’re taking your dog […]
dog safety from snakes & ticks
Summer is here, and with the warmer weather we spend more time outdoors with our pets and go on more hikes etc. As we come out of our winter hiding, so too snakes start to make more appearances as well. Now I don’t know about you, but lately there have been a lot of snake-sightings […]
