Your Dog May 2025

It was during putting this issue together that we visited Crufts. I’ve been to the world’s biggest dog show on quite a number of occasions and this was my favourite yet. Our stand was incredibly busy – thank you to all of you who stopped by, and even more so to those of you who shared lovely comments about the brand (the magazine and our free e-newsletter). I also got chance to get around more of the show than I’d ever done before. I spoke to so many different people and watched lots of incredible dogs in action. If you’ve never visited Crufts, I’d wholeheartedly recommend you put it on your wish list. Now, I know that in my editor’s letters I often get a bit philosophical or sentimental (it’s…

Famous for its white sands, rugged rock formations, and dark green and red serpentinite cliffs, Kynance Cove is a somewhat hidden gem nestled away in Cornwall at the foot of Great Britain. A National Trust site, the natural beauty of Kynance Cove has made the area a popular source of inspiration for artists and poets since the nineteenth century; most significantly captured in the work of poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and artist, JMW Turner. Within the cove, you’ll find two main beaches consisting of a sand and rock mixture. The dramatic cliffs and turquoise water encourage a broad variety of wildlife to call Kynance Cove home. The waters are home to seals, dolphins, and a range of seabirds, while the cove contains a variety of plant life, including wildflowers and heather.…

Chew toys are a popular part of our inventory of toys we can provide for our canine companions – and for good reason. Chomping down on something safe (and fun!) fulfils a natural instinct, reducing stress and bringing pleasure. Here, we break down why chewing should be part of our dogs’ play routine and give an insight into what to look for in a chew toy. Why do dogs chew? Chewing satisfies several important needs. Puppies chew to explore the newness of everything they come across, and they find out by chewing which things are acceptable, as well as fulfilling. It isn’t a good idea, for instance, to chew their mother or siblings hard, and we aren’t too keen on it, either. But their milk teeth arrive within two weeks…

What were your first impressions of the food? I’ve never fed cold-pressed dog food before. In fact, I’d not even heard of it until I was asked to test the Wilsons recipes. That made the packaging important as I wanted to find out more about what the food was all about. Firstly, the packaging looks really nice! And the quality of information was equally as good. The packs explained the premise behind the cold-pressed methodology and highlighted the potential benefits. That set the tone as we knew what improvements we were looking for by giving Obi cold-pressed food. The guidelines on the packs said to feed the cold-pressed recipes separately to his existing food and gradually increase the amount of Wilsons food over a period of nine days. The main…
