💛🖤 Alfie’s all kitted out for adventure! 🖤💛

Meet Alfie, a gorgeous 19-week-old Flat-Coated Retriever, who visited us with his lovely owner 🤗, who is a regular, to be fitted for his brand-new Ruffwear Float Coat dog life jacket! 🐾🌊

At just 19 weeks old, Alfie is already getting off to the best start when it comes to water safety, and we were delighted to help him find the right jacket for his future adventures.

Why do we recommend the Ruffwear Float Coat? 👇

🌊 Purpose-designed flotation – strategically positioned foam helps support your dog in the water while allowing natural swimming movement.

💪 A strong grab handle – a really useful feature for helping your dog out of the water or assisting them when needed.

🐕 Comfortable, secure fit – an adjustable neck closure and secure buckles help achieve a close, comfortable fit without unnecessarily restricting movement.

✨ Improved visibility – bright colours and reflective detailing help make your dog easier to spot in and around the water.

🏞️ Built for adventure – durable materials and thoughtful design make it a fantastic option for dogs joining their families on swimming, boating and outdoor adventures.

There are plenty of dog life jackets on the market, but we love the attention to detail Ruffwear brings to flotation, fit, comfort and practicality. When choosing a life jacket, getting the right fit for your individual dog is just as important as choosing the right brand.

And that’s where we come in! 🐾 We can help you choose the right size, check the fit and make sure your four-legged adventurer is ready to enjoy the water as safely as possible.

Alfie certainly looks the part in his bright yellow Float Coat — and we think he knows it! 😍💛

A life jacket is an additional safety aid, not a substitute for supervision, and puppies should always be introduced to water gradually and positively.

Wishing Alfie and his family many happy adventures ahead! 🌊🐶❤️

📍 Pop in and speak to our team if you’re looking for the right life jacket for your own water-loving companion.

🦴 And there’s more… introducing McAdams Awards treats!

These artisan, soft-baked treats are made with 50% fresh, free-range organic turkey, alongside carefully selected ingredients. Their new Best Behaviour biscuits combine turkey with pumpkin and Gouda cheese – perfect for rewarding good behaviour or simply spoiling your four-legged best friend!

They also include thoughtful extras such as prebiotics and coconut oil, with selected recipes featuring Atlantic dental algae to support dental care.

These are proper lead ropes — just like lead ropes used to be! 🙌 Thick, chunky, soft and comfortable in your hand, with lovely strong clips that feels like it means business. 💪

And we’ve got you covered whether you prefer a standard length or a longer length — so you can choose what works best for you and your horse. 🐎

🐾 Meet Indie! 🐾

Indie is a gorgeous 4-year-old rescue from the Dogs Trust, who came in to see us at the start of the week. 💕 They think this handsome boy is a Beagle x Pointer — and what a clever boy he is!

Indie had a very important job while he was here… choosing his own treats! 😋 And he certainly knew what he wanted — he picked JR Pet Products Beef Sausages, which are grain-free and are irresistible for so many dogs! 🥩🐾

He also made sure to stock up on Durham Animal Feeds🇬🇧 raw food while he was here. 🥰

It was an absolute pleasure seeing you, Indie! We hope you enjoy all your goodies and we look forward to seeing you again soon. ❤️🐶
