Christmas Gifts For Pets Number 1; Litter Kwitter

Most of us have seen the film Meet The Fockers and wondered how Jinksy the cat can use the toilet in the film. Well now we can teach our own cats to use our own toilet!

Following the three easy steps with the Litter Kwitter toilet trainer is made even easier with the addition of a DVD instructional disk with the product. Cats of any age or size (not suitable for kittens under 3 months or cats with arthritis) can be trained surprisingly quickly (8 weeks or less) if these guidelines are followed. The fixings are a universal fit which will easily attach to most standard toilet seats.

Training your cat to use the Litter Kwitter will stop the need for having dirty, smelly litter trays in the house meaning no more litter or dirt trodden around the house. Not using a litter tray will also save you money on the cost of cat litter.

Dog Bowls To Be Proud Of!

Dog bowls are one of those things that we all take for granted and either do not notice them getting tired and battered or we do and are too embarrassed to have them on show needing to hide them away from view!

The new selection of dog bowls have come on a long way since the first thin metal bowls which wear stains and trademark dents just as easily as they tip over and clatter around the floor. But modern day dog bowls can add a real touch of class or fun to your kitchen and are smart enough to leave on show. They come in an infinite variety of designs and styles to suit all dogs and situations.

Ceramic dog bowls are a traditional favourite and Mason Cash have been producing their cane pet range for over 70 years and have little changed. They still have the classic clean look but now have the high gloss glaze making them easy to keep hygienically clean, a thickened rim to reduce chipping and chewing and are produced in heavy stoneware. Within this range the Mason Cash Spaniel Bowl is worthy of a special mention as a real design classic and is perfect for any owners of Spaniels, the shape of this bowl means that the ears do not get wet or dirty during feeding and drinking. This classic range has been accompanied by a range of colourful designs in stoneware and porcelain in fabulous colours to suit all situations and a selection of sizes to suit different breeds. The premium quality of these dog bowls still shows but they just have a modern twist. Ceramic dog bowls have benefits such as keeping water and wet foods fresher for longer, being anti tip and anti chew as well as being hygienic and durable.

Those old tinny metal bowls have made way for a wide selection of premium Stainless Steel dog bowls made from a heavy grade of stay bright metal and offering rubber feet fused to the bases. These new features mean that they are much less likely to dent, stain and slide around the floor clattering as they go! The range of designs has grown too, producing some fantastic new products. Particularly useful are the Anti Gulp dog bowls which help to slow your dogs feeding down reducing indigestion and illness following rushed eating, twin bowls giving a quality edge to this classic design and the Slant Bowls which guide food or water to one edge of these square bowls making feeding easier for dogs that find it difficult to feed (older dogs and puppies).

Even plastic dog bowls now have moved on. These new products are a leap ahead of the early bowls offering a high gloss stain resistant finish which is very easy to keep clean, fused rubber feet to reduce slipping and anti tip designs. These light weight dog bowls come in a kaleidoscope of different colours and for a great value light weight bowl they cannot be beaten still.

Other specialist bowls are available for specific purposes carefully designed for these different uses. Ancol produce a great canvas folding dogbowl which is great when you are travelling and need a light weight bowl which takes up no room at all – perfect for food or water. There are non spill bowls for providing water on car journeys, bolt on bowls for dog crates even height adjustable dog bowls for larger dogs that find it difficult to feed from the floor.

More For Pets Limited have a great range of these bowls available to buy online now at cheap prices. Give your dogs a bowl to be proud of! 

Essential Spring Pond Maintenance.

It is now officially Spring and your ponds are starting to wake from their winter dormancy. The aquatic plants are showing signs of growth - some even flowering. The wildlife is beginning to stir with frog spawn appearing in suitable ponds a real feeling that there is better weather to come!

Pond fish are much more active now for longer periods of the day while the water temperature is higher and the sun is dancing on the water surface.

Spring is the best time to give your pond its annual service – checking all stages of pond filters are working fully, replacing UV bulbs for the coming season (most are only really effective for 9 months and then only if the quartz sleeves they are housed in are cleaned of dirt), aquatic plants need trimming and dividing with the new growth keen to root and re-establish quickly, lilies and marginal’s need feeding with a pond plant fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and flowers, check for any leaks in liners or a build up of dirt in the pond that will need removing.

It is not only the pond that needs scrutinising; your fish too need to be observed for early signs of damage or disease from the hardships of winter. The fish may only just be moving around but all those nasty disease causing bacteria are active at much lower temperatures meaning they may already have infected your fish. If your fish are looking as if they need a boost but have no obvious symptoms then a general pond tonic may be worth using, but if there are specific symptoms such as ulcers, finrot, fungus or parasites then the correct pond treatment needs to be chosen.

Any maintenance on pond filters at this time of year will need to be combined with a filter enhancer to rejuvenate the beneficial waste reducing bacteria which will have been lost during maintenance. These bacteria are an essential part of an efficient filtration process and reapplying then will mean no drop in water quality.

These newly active fish will need feeding! A good quality food will help to boost their immune systems and increase their general vitality. Make sure that the food is fresh – food left open for too long will have gone off and lost its vitamin content or worse. The food needs to be the right size and type for your fish, floating types are generally better as you can easily monitor how much your fish are eating without the wasted food polluting the pond water. There is a great range of Pond Foods available to choose from now so your fish can be spoilt for choice!

But most of all make time to sit back, relax and enjoy your ponds and water features – after all that is why they are there!

Choosing Your Dog Collars.

There is such a variety of dog collars available now that sometimes it can be difficult to choose which is best for your dog.

Nylon dog collars are the first choice for durability, strength and value all of which are provided by this synthetic material. Available in a wide range of colours and styles there is something for most dogs. The quality can vary so much between different manufacturers both in the weave strength of the nylon itself and in the construction o the collars where quite often the stitching can let the collar down so choose a good manufacturer. Softweave collars are fabulous for your puppy’s first collars where these comfortable collars can get them used to wearing a collar and the fine adjustments which can be made in the open weave is great as you are not restricted to pre-made eyelets. The versatility of adjustable nylon collars can be great for getting a snug fit and a quick release collar which snaps on while absolute strength will always be provided by the traditional metal buckle nylon collar with metal riveted eyelets.

Chain dog collars can add a touch of class and offer superior strength. Traditionally dog choke chains have been amazingly popular to reduce or control pulling on the lead though now they have been superseded by other products such as head collars and training harnesses which are kinder to the dog. Half check collars which are a mixture of chain and nylon or leather still have their place and are great for a collar which you can slip on and off the dog quickly. Chain and leather collars with buckles are amazingly strong for very powerful dogs and have a touch of elegance about them.

Leather dog collars are still the most popular collars by far and the traditional leather collar with buckles will out sell other types of collar for years to come! For a strong durable classic collar you cannot beat a traditional leather dog collar. The quality of these collars can vary greatly though with cheaper grades of leather prone to stretching and weakening, low grade stitching can fail and even worse than this some leathers are treated with toxic chemicals which can irritate you and your dogs skin. Even humble leather collars have moved on to a superb level with the premium collars in the Ancol Vintage range offering highest grade bridle leather with a soft leather lining, high quality strong metal fittings and a high gloss fully stitched finish. Timberwolf leather dog collars even come in a classy blue finish with a 3M waterproofing treatment.

Specialist dog collars are still popular for dogs with particular breed requirements. Breeds such as Greyhounds, Whippets and Bull terriers all have collars created to fit. The range of Bull Terrier collars and harnesses is quite amazing now highlighting the popularity of this breed.

The demand for fashion and designer dog collars is higher than ever. From classically styled canvas and soft leather combinations, colourful printed nylon collars with amazing designs, crystal encrusted designs offer some real bling to your pampered pooch and not forgetting the puppy ranges for young dogs with style!

There is a collar to suit every dog for every occasion! Don’t restrict your dog to one outfit, they need a comfy collar for lounging at home, casual walking collar, dressy going out in town collar, maybe one for pup parties..............

The Benefit of Hay For Fibrevores.

Hay comes in range of Tasty Varieties!

As we know Hay is an essential part of any Fibrevore’s diet. Fibravore's are small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, degus or chinchillas who require hay as a large proportion of the diet., this hay provides them with all of the beneficial fibre that they need for healthy digestion. There are so many types of small animal hay to choose from on the market today that it can be difficult to know which you should buy. Hay can easily divided into two main types - grass hays and legume hays. 


Now you can purchase hays which has tasty added extras such as dandelions, birch bark, chamomile or Jerusalem artichoke to name but a few.  These are great as a treat and when mixed with their usual hay and will encourage them to forage, encourage natural behaviour and naturally reduce boredom.


A few varieties are: 

Timothy hay is grass based and is ideal for older rabbits.  With its mix of leaves and stems it creates a great mix of taste and high fibre content which is essential to ensure a healthy digestive system.

Alfalfa is legume hay and is very tasty making it popular with Rabbits and other small animals.  It has a high fibre and nutritional content but should only be fed as a treat as it is high in calcium which can eventually lead to high calcium build up in the bladder.  It is however a fantastic, tasty food that will encourage recovering animals, following an illness or surgery, to eat.

Burns Green Oat Hay is a great natural alternative to the 'traditional' hays.  This mix of stem, leaf and 'green' oat husks is great at keeping your small animal’s digestive system’s healthy and as an aide to dental wears.

Dried Meadow Grass is another really popular product which although not strictly a hay, it is a dried grass, packed full of more nutrients than hay and with a wonderful 'fresh grass' smell as soon as you open the bag!


More For Pets Limited stock a great range of small animal hay and bedding which are always in stock at cheap prices to buy online.

Natural Treats For Your Dog.

As with their own diets, pet owners are becoming increasingly aware of the nutritional needs of their pets and the ingredients contained in the foods themselves. More and more they appreciate the benefits of giving their animals treats made only from natural ingredients.

Natural dog treats are just that and have absolutely nothing added to them. So there are no cheap fillers, no artificial preservatives and most importantly no chemicals leaving just pure dog nutrition. The majority of them are gluten free and perfect for dogs with allergies.

Natural pork dog chews are probably the most popular and widely known dog treats. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the ubiquitous pig’s ears to pig snouts and trotters. Pig’s ears are much loved by dogs and contain an acceptable quantity of fat with a flavour that dogs find irresistible! Available now are the Pork Bites , these are the pigs inner ear and just as tasty as the traditional pigs ears but at a much lower price.

Natural fish dog chews have loads of protein and different varieties may contain omega-3 and omega-6 which are fatty acids which promote a good healthy skin and fur.

Dog chews made from natural poultry are low in fat and are suitable for dogs with allergies. Dog chews made from natural lamb are perfect for sensitive dogs and dogs which are allergic to certain types of food.

Other favourites include the best training treat ever – dried liver strips which your dogs will do anything for and are a completely healthy treat. Black pudding sticks and salami sticks are mouth watering chewy treats which can be given whole or cut in to smaller pieces making them great value too. For good dental care you still cannot beat a good quality smoked bone for your pet to chew on, sterilised first before going through the smoking process leaving you with a tasty and safe bone for your dogs to chew on.

All these natural treats should ideally be oven baked, dried and contain no artificial colorants, preservatives or flavourings – most are also gluten free.

If you take a look around your kitchen, check in your fridge  or even look in the garden and you will be surprised at just how many natural treats are available right on your doorstep. Sliced apples, sticks of celery as well as carrots all make very good natural treats. Each and every one provides a range of proteins and vitamins. A carrot by itself contains five different vitamins, protein, iron, fibre and potassium. They are all natural ingredients with no added chemicals.

Whether or not you purchase commercial dog treats or use treats direct from your garden or your kitchen, natural dog treats are a fantastic way of providing your companion with a supplement of extra nutrition without the worry about which chemicals have been administered without your knowledge.

The number one reason dogs want to chew on bones or dog chews is a natural instinct which has been passed on for thousands of years. Dogs have an innate desire to chew and giving your dog a healthy and natural dog chew will benefit them in many ways. Puppies especially love to chew, this chewing facilitates teething and it is also their way of exploring objects in their world. In adult dogs chewing aids the dental care of your dog removing plaque, tartar and keeping gums in great condition.

As dog owners, we want to make sure that we choose the right dog chew for our dog. With so many choices of dog chews and treats available finding the right chew can be difficult. Different ages and sizes of dog will benefit from different strengths and sizes of treat – if in doubt feel free to ask us for any advice.
