Los perros se parecen mucho a los niños, por lo que no debería sorprender a todos los padres de perros que el tiempo de juego sea una parte importante del desarrollo de su perro, tanto física como mentalmente. De hecho, a diferencia de sus homólogos humanos, ¡los perros no dejan de amar el tiempo de juego! Quizás es por eso que amamos tanto estar cerca de ellos: su perpetuo entusiasmo de cachorro por la vida y el amor por todas las cosas divertidas no solo es adorable de observar, sino que también puede hacernos sentir jóvenes de corazón. ¿Qué mejor manera de asegurarse de que su perro tenga ..read more

It's that time of year again, the time when processionary pine caterpillars maker an appearance here in Estepona and along the Costa del Sol and take note: these guys are not just un-fun for your dog, they can be deadly. Here's what to look for and what to do to keep your dog safe: Processionary pine caterpillars are small and fuzzy, usually seen marching end to end along the ground amongst the pine trees in the campo after hatching from their nests there, thus giving them their name. And while they look completely harmless, they are not. They kill the pine trees where they nest by eating its ..read more

Is Santa bringing a puppy to surprise a soon-to-be very happy boy or girl at your home this Christmas? We love the idea (we do love dogs after all!) but please make sure to do it right! Here's how: Adopt, Don't Buy a Dog There are so many great dogs in need of homes this Christmas, please consider adopting one instead of buying one from a breeder. Doing so means you can bring Christmas joy to your life as well as your new dog's, who gets to spend their life in the comfort of your cosy home instead of a cold shelter. Plus shelter dogs are often medically healthier than inbred dogs or puppy mil ..read more

Dreaming about an Easter holiday away this year? We don't blame you! With so many restrictions in place for the past few years, travel -even locally within Andalucia, has been a bit of a pipe dream for many.

But if you're taking a much- needed (and well-deserved!) holiday this spring, what will you do about your four-legged fur baby? Travelling With Your Dog Sometimes we just can't stand to be away from our dogs, even when we go on ho ..read more

The most popular New Year's resolution every year is to lose weight. Makes sense: with all the extra indulgences over the holidays, getting back on track in terms of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and healthy habits are a great way to start the new year off the right way. But what about your dog?

Determining Your Dog ..read more

This October, have some fun indoors and out with your dog, but please be aware of some seasonal dangers too. The Great Outdoors Autumn is a great time to get outdoors with your dog. There's still plenty of sunlight, warm sunny days and if you're here in Estepona, plenty of beautiful walking paths to be found, both within city limits and in the countryside. If you're going for a stroll in the woods this Autumn, it's best to keep your dog on a lead while you walk. Dogs are naturally curious and will sniff at or nibble on just about anything to learn more about it. This time of year though, that ..read more

Dogs are a lot like kids, so it should come as no surprise to all the doggy parents out there that playtime is an important part of your dog's development, both physically and mentally.

What better way to make sure your dog has the happiest, healthiest life possible, than by making sure they get plenty of p ..read more
