  • K9 Connectables Review – The Ultimate Enrichment Toy for Dogs!

    K9 Connectables Review – The Ultimate Enrichment Toy for Dogs!

    “That dog needs a job” is something that’s been said to me on more than one occasion since getting Lucia, she has boundless energy and is just so bloody clever! I’ve learned from past experience how easy it is to fall into the trap of giving more and more exercise to physically tire out an…

  • Bark Off Shop Harris Tweed Dog Collar Review

    Bark Off Shop Harris Tweed Dog Collar Review

    It’s a running joke amongst our local postmen that our dogs get more post than we do, so the other day when the doorbell rang it was no surprise that it was yet another parcel for the girls. Maya and Lucia were thrilled to find that it contained a beautiful Harris tweed dog collar each,…

  • Armstrong’s Twisted Fish Treats for Dogs

    Armstrong’s Twisted Fish Treats for Dogs

    Something very fishy turned up at our door while I was upstairs working the other day, it was a big brown box that was addressed to Maya and Lucia and rather unwisely (in my opinion lol) Rod left it on the coffee table so that I would see it when I came down. Fortunately apart…

  • Soggy Doggy – Drying Solutions for Wet Dogs

    Soggy Doggy – Drying Solutions for Wet Dogs

    Did you know that #wetdogwednesday is a thing on Instagram? Well if you have a spaniel it will probably come as no surprise! My two girls seem to live in a constant state of sogginess and are of the opinion that unless they get wet and muddy on a walk it wasn’t really that much…

  • Snuffle Mats – Enrichment Puzzles for Dogs

    Snuffle Mats – Enrichment Puzzles for Dogs

    Maya and Lucia are typical cocker spaniels and can often be seen, nose to the ground, sniffing their way round the garden or park. With these dark winter evenings though they can’t spend as much time outside as they’d like so I am always on the look out for toys that will stimulate them and…

  • K9 Organics Dog Wash Review – Is this shampoo dog enough for spaniels?

    K9 Organics Dog Wash Review – Is this shampoo dog enough for spaniels?

    I am going to share a secret with you (don’t tell the girls) Maya and Lucia love baths! Which is just as well as if you follow us on Instagram you can probably guess that they both see the bath tub fairly frequently! So when K9 Organics got in touch to ask if the girls would like…

  • Reg&Bob A Collar and Lead Set for Dogs who want to be Dogs

    Reg&Bob A Collar and Lead Set for Dogs who want to be Dogs

    Maya just adores getting down and dirty, and if I had harboured any illusions that Lucia would see life differently they were soon dispelled. In fact if anything the little minx gets herself even filthier. (okay maybe the dirt just shows up on her more) Hence when Reg&Bob got in touch and asked if we…

  • Barking Bites Dog Treats Review

    Barking Bites Dog Treats Review

    When it comes to dog treats I am very particular! Most of the time Maya and Lucia get air dried fish or venison or bits of fruit and veg from me, but, Maya especially is partial to a biscuit. I know this because in our local dog park there is a man who gives out…

  • Is Your Dog Active Enough – We test the PitPat Dog Activity Monitor

    Is Your Dog Active Enough – We test the PitPat Dog Activity Monitor

    Over the years Rod and I have often mused as to how far Maya actually travelled on our walks, and what she got up to during the day so we were very excited indeed when PitPat got in touch and asked if Maya would like to be a tester of their new second generation dog…

  • The Hatchbag Company Boot Liner Review

    The Hatchbag Company Boot Liner Review

    ‘Tis the season to be muddy and Maya and Lucia are gleefully embracing it, as are I suspect thousands of other dogs all over the country. So, when The Hatchbag Company got in touch and asked if we would like do a product test on one of their Hatchbag car boot protectors I was only too…
