Furbo UK is Amazon’s #1 bestseller. The dog camera allows you to observe, interact and spoil your pooch with treats while away from home. The device offers Full HD 1080p vision, 4x zoom, and a rotating 360-degree view of the room, with enhanced night vision in colour or black and white.

The Furbo Dog Camera is designed for dogs that can tell the difference between us and canines and is available from Furbo UK direct.

The Person Alert and Barking Alert are major pluses for the Furbo dog camera. The reviews show that notifications have prevented a house fire, carbon monoxide poisoning of a pet dog, and intruders, which led to Police arrests.

As the camera is designed for canines only, the camera will auto-track your dog.

You can purchase the dog camera for a one-off payment or with a Dog Nanny subscription. All you need is an iOS or Android Smart mobile.

• Smart Alerts: Barking, Person, Selfie, Emergency (CO2, glass breaking)
• 15-second activity detection and stored on Cloud Recordings
• Treat Tossing
• 2-Way Audio – speak with your dog
• Important events: sleeping, sitting, chewing, toileting

Dog Nanny is optional: £6.99 per month, £69 per year or £130 for 2 years.

TabCatV2 is not a GPS device but it can locate your missing cat with Radio Technology.

No subscription is required, and it can be used worldwide.

The pack contains two 5g Homing Tags and Protective Covers. The small Homing Tag fits easily to your cat’s collar. If your cat is missing and you are searching, the Directional Handset will pick up a signal from the Homing Tag and guide you on which direction to walk using “audio and visual cues”. TabCat has a store on Amazon.

The device can find your cat within 2.5cm / 1″, so as you get closer to where your cat is, the lights on the handset change from red to amber, followed by green with audio beeping indicating how near you are. It will help you locate your cat if shut in a shed or garage and the Homing Tag has a flashing LED for nighttime.

Although this is fantastic technology and log-awaited for cat lovers, TabCat states the “Range will vary depending on your location and environment”, so I will research this.

Price: £99

Radio Frequency tracker vs GPS tracker

To the left is a comparison between TabCat and a GPS tracker. You pay for the initial pack instead of the monthly or annual subscription. One handset can locate up to 4 cats, so one pack can be used for two cats because it comes with two Homing Tags. Or purchase additional for £19.99.

And TabCat works abroad using 2.45GHz band. The reviews on their shop are from the U.K. and USA.

At some point, we have all forgotten to lock the back door, which is necessary to prevent opportunist thefts or to keep relations safe at home. As a precaution, a door handle alarm is advisable.

Defender is a well-known brand with many security devices: shed alarms, window alarms (see below), door brace, personal safety, key safe (recommended for holiday homes or an elderly relation), and an indoor personal safe.

Available on Amazon.

Price: £8.84

Although not security related, browsing Defender’s website (sold by Solon Security, which I have used), I found an odd-looking heater that claims to take the chill off a room. It promises constant heat to prevent dampness, moisture, condensation, freezing and mildew. And we are all looking to keep ourselves and our pets warm this Winter.

Available on Amazon.

Price: £34.95

These window alarms are easy to install.

When I lived alone, I had a garden leading onto a 10-foot, and I felt reassured to have these attached to windows at the back of the house. You can hear the 110dbs alarm in my video, and I show you how easy to set up.

You can buy from Defender’s official store on Amazon. These window alarms are recommended by Humberside Police and can be purchased from Neighbourhood Network in Hull.

The Burg Protect Video Doorbell DG8500 is available at Wilko online only.

It operates with wi-fi and has HD video quality and when the doorbell is pressed, you can see who is at your front door (or back door, depending on where you install it). Access the FREE Tuya Smart app on your Smartphone or tablet to view outside. The second plus is speaking to a visitor at home or away. The third plus is the device registers movement in the doorbell’s range.

Leather Door Sweep Draft Excluder

We bought this because of a tremendous draft beneath our kitchen door. The kitchen leads from a non-heated porch. I have tried all types of draft excluders at my previous home and each failed because the product fell off when opening the door. The Door Sweep from Lazbuy is tougher, has stopped the draft and is still attached to the door! The kitchen temperature has increased from 10 degrees to 12.9 early morning (without central heating). The porch is around 9.8 degrees.

Air Fryer means faster, healthier cooking.

Different sizes are available depending on requirements. A selection comes with optional grills, bake and roast, up to three compartments, litre capacity, maximum temperatures (eg 200 or 350 degrees), digital or dial, from 30 minutes cooking timer, and wattage.

Example of cooking times:

• Fluffy chips – 13 minutes
• Roast whole chicken – 60 minutes
• 100g beef steak – 9 minutes
• 250g salmon fillet – 7 minutes
• Whole grilled fish – 20 minutes

Available at Home Treats on Amazon.

Retro draft proofing the letterbox cover.

Stopping drafts coming through your letterbox saves money because it reduces heat loss. Our letterbox is not faulty, but cold air comes from the in-groove design used to lift the lid. Because the cover is made of thick, heavy, and quality material, it will reduce drafts and heat loss. The heart weighs the fabric down too and looks pretty. Our postman does not have issues putting letters through the letterbox. It is easy to fit this quirky letterbox cover; the video below shows you how easy it is.

Garden Wildlife Direct is an online shop that provides seasonal food for birds and nutritional food for ducks, swans, hedgehogs, squirrels, ponds & fish, chicken & poultry, and bee & insect houses.

The range is extended to home & gifts, garden (weed killer, deterrents, lawn care, compost, tools), stoneware, home fuels, feeders, storage, nesting boxes, books, and guides.

Visit Garden Wildlife Direct

Added to the list is grain-free dog food kibble in four flavours, available in 15kg bags. Plus 30L (£15.99) or 45L (£19.99) bird or pet food storage bins. Available at Garden Wildlife Direct.

There is a debate about whether a grain-free diet is good or bad for your dog. Of course, this diet is appropriate if your dog has been diagnosed with an allergy. I always recommend speaking to your vet if unsure.

Registering with Garden Wildlife Direct gives you 10% off your first order.

If you live near a lake or river and love feeding swans and ducks, providing them with nutritional food to benefit their health is always best instead of chunks of bread. Sometimes you find small bags of swan and duck food for sale in parkland gift shops, but a larger one will be cheaper if you feed wildlife regularly with the children.

EasyTrim London provides professional equestrian care products.

Under the Farriers (Registration) Act 1975, only registered farriers can purchase horseshoes and nails. Please submit your farrier registration number when placing an order to buy these goods. EasyTrim London will verify with the Farriers Registration Council.

All professional farrier equipment from EasyTrim London are reputable brands.

The company also provide dog grooming equipment called Dog Stripping Knives. The high-quality steel blades remove dead hairs from a cat or dog, leaving a clean and healthy coat.

A dog-stripping knife will not harm or hurt your dog, and a professional groomer will be trained.

The 4-set pack is ideal for a professional groomer because it contains coarse sizes (extra fine, fine, medium and coarse) depending on the breed and its fur type. Single knives are available if preferred; a fine knife suits cats and dogs with fine fur.

Professional equipment will be longer lasting than cheaper brands.

Holiday Cottages caters for accommodation that accepts pets but features pet-free properties too.

We have personally holidayed through Holiday Cottage with our 60kg rescue dog twice and recommend it.

Not all properties are cottages. You will find lodges, apartments, chalets, old stables, barns, converted workshops, water mills, working farms or quirky accommodations and you can read more about The Old Mill.

As you can see from Blakey View Cottage, standards are high, and this is what you can expect when choosing a holiday with Holiday Cottages. We stayed twice. It is easy to select a property, check dates and book.

Republic of Cats was founded by five fluffball fans and is a part of Tails for dogs.

The Taster Box includes wet and dry food to cover 28 meals. However, the Taster Box price is changeable, but by using my referral link, you will pay £2.50. Typically, the price is between £2.50 to £10 depending on whether you order from the website on a desktop computer or mobile.

In February 2023, the Taster Box increased to £10 again, so don’t forget to use my referral link to buy for £2.50. There is competition for food subscriptions. The image shows the contents, but flavour differs depending on your choices.

Dry food comes in chicken and salmon; wet food choices are stews, gravies and pate.

Now, 28 meals give the impression you have a month’s food supply, but as the image shows, you get three boxes of five 85g cans and one small bag of biscuits, so it is 15 days of food.

Tails is a part of the Republic of Cats and operate similarly as subscription dog food delivered to your door.

Follow Tails on Instagram and Facebook, as occasionally they run competitions, and the prize is food for your dog!

When you sign up, you receive 50% off your first box. Afterwards, prices will vary depending on your wet and dry food choices.

Pet Creation will work magic and create a cartoon image of your fluffball with or without a family member. The finished piece might feature your pet outdoors or in front of a fairy tale castle.

A coffee mug, fleece, canvas, and gift sets. Pet Creations can transform your cat, horse, duck, goldfish, hamster, and many more. And you can choose up to six pets per portrait.

Sale price from £42

Pet Creations is happy to create a cartoon of your pet and people. I once worked in the wedding industry and more and more couples bring the family dog as part of the ceremony. And during the evening, sometimes hire a caricaturist. So a pet and couple cartoon make a quirky and memorable wedding gift.

And if your puppy joined the family and connects with your toddler, it is a memorable gift.

Just supply a photograph of your pet, and talented artists do the rest.

If your pet has crossed to Rainbow Bridge, and you have an unclear image, Pet Creations will still help create a special cartoon of your late pet. And their favourite toy can be included.

Pet Creations do not use apps to transform your pet into a cartoon. The transformation is old-fashioned so hand-drawn.

Amazon is a well-known marketplace and sometimes offers next-day and FREE delivery if you are a Prime subscriber.

It is worth researching pricing as sometimes Amazon can be cheaper, but equally, occasionally more.

The size is 38 x 42cm so ideal for small older dogs too. In October, the cost was 2p to 4p per hour. I will check the current price when we receive our replacement Display Unit. The above cost was calculated with only the fridge, and chest freezer switched on.

If you are not a fan of Amazon, the Pet Rescue Remedy heated bed is available at VioVet.

Price: £32.49

We ordered another heated bed for Teddy, our senior rescue dog. The brand is Toozey and for a giant 60kg, 120 x 70cm was an adequate size. This size is also suitable for a Collie, Labrador, or German Shepherd size dog. Teddy is part Moiritic Shepherd dog.

The bed has 6 temperatures and 4 settings for a timer. When plugged into the mains, switch it on from the bed controller.

Price: around £60 for 120cm x 70cm

Barbour waterproof dog coat.

You can’t beat traditional tartan. This coat is made with waterproof fabric and reflective binding. It has velcro fastening across the chest and strap and buckle around the body.

And to show your pooch is full of class, the Barbour embossed badge is visible to the lower outer side of the dog coat.

Also available are quilted or waxed coats in small, medium and large. With over 24% off you can buy a Barbour for £27.59 to £37.25.

Barbour reflective tartan dog collar.

Choose from three Barbour collars from classic tartan, taupe & pink or with reflective piping.

Each is available in small, medium or large and gives neck sizes on the listing. However, neither give the width of the collar, which is essential depending on the size of your dog.

A collar should sit over the fur and nearer the ears, not at the neck’s base, because it would cause stress on the vocal chords.

Currently, there’s 30% off so prices range from £17.55 to £18.99.

Barbour dog or cat blanket

Keeping your pets warm in Winter is important and this blanket consists of sherpa fleece on one side and cotton tartan on the other.

Size: 127 x 152cm

With 29% off the price is £49.35.

Why not spoil your pooch with the entire Barbour range – a bowl, wash bag, toys, harnesses, towels and a jumper.

Zooplus is one of many online retailers that offer better deals than supermarkets.

To save money during the current crisis, it’s worth looking at mega boxes of 48 or 96 cans or sachets of food for whichever brand you prefer. Although you pay more for one purchase, calculating the costs over 2 or 3 months will work out cheaper.

So give Zooplus a try!

I included this company because even though it sells supplies for professional dog groomers, the amateur, like us, can use them too. Because of the hike in energy costs and food, we have been looking at ways to cut back financially. Having Teddy professionally groomed costs £70, so we purchased the Andis AGC2 UltraEdge Clippers, costing £145. If your dog attends the groomers regularly, you will recoup the cost and start saving money. We have.

Admittedly, as it is Winter 2022, Teddy has a bath and towel-dry at the groomer for £15. We do not have a downstairs shower room to wash him at home.

It doesn’t matter if you are a dog grooming pro, a student or an amateur with plans to groom your pooch at home, Christie’s Direct caters to everyone. Dave and I were concerned that we were wasting our money in case grooming was challenging, but the Andis UltraEdge are easy to handle and use, and with practice, our grooming technique is improving.

Reading about other brands, the Wahl Km5 and Heiniger Saphire were other options. Read more about the brands before you decide to purchase.

If your cat has kidney problems but needs help with stiffness, moving and walking, and joint issues, then YuMove Joint Care can help. It’s phosphate-free, so it will not harm the kidneys.

A single purchase or regular is available with prices depending on your choice.

The initial recommended dosage is 2 capsules per day for the first 4 – 6 weeks, then 1 capsule daily. It is easy to give as you sprinkle it into food.

Dogs and cats can be pickles when given any medication, so YuMove formulated these tasty chew treats for older dogs already with joint stiffness and issues.

Buy from YuMove: YuMove promises you will see a difference in your senior dog in four weeks.

Older dogs are prone to more stiffness and pain, so Plus+, a higher-strength formula, will be the better option because it provides extra support.

Buy from YuMove: YuMove promises you will see the difference in your dog’s mobility within six weeks.

Joint Care isn’t just for senior dogs. There are formulas available for puppies growing joints and adult dogs showing signs of stiffness.

Kally Sleep sent me a dog bed to test. A reader of Poppy’s Pets has rescue dogs; Midge and Tess both have joint problems and tested the bed.

Before you buy an orthopaedic bed for your dog, there are product points to consider. For example, filling, anti-tear, water-resistant etc. Your dog may need a specialised bed when your canine has difficulties getting off its bed, sore joints, or the bed is too small.

The specialised dog bed comes in two sizes and your dog needs enough room to stretch out.

Small / Medium 63 x 50 x 20cm – Price £49.98

Medium / Large 76 x 60 x 20cm – Price £62.48

You can expect a bed to be water and tear-resistant, anti-slip, washable cover, and hollow fibre bumpers, and relieve joint pressure and pain when your dog rests.

Several retailers are selling Kally Sleep’s orthopaedic dog beds, including M&S.

Thermal, hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty-free duvet.

The duvet is ideal for allergies, and asthma sufferers and provides a comfortable night’s sleep.

Warming fibres will keep you cosy and snug on colder nights. Combined with a brushed cotton fitted sheet and duvet cover, you will be super warm if the heating is off.

Available at Kally Sleeps.

Energy-saving electric heat blanket.

We are all looking for ways to keep warm during the energy crisis, and this electric blanket can warm up your bed before bedtime. If, like us, the heating is off most of the time, the bed sheets feel too cool.

Key features:

• 3 temperature settings
• Overheat protection
• Detachable control for machine wash
• Fast warm-up
• Soft and cosy fleece cover
• 2-year guarantee

Pregnancy pillow – 150cm x 33cm and 3kg.

This U-shaped pillow gives total body support to your back and bump with a firmness rated 5/10 medium, and is suitable for side sleepers too.

It has a breathable cotton outer layer to keep you cool and anti-allergy-treated fibres that protect you against bacteria.

Menopause cooling mattress topper.

The topper is available in double and king with temperature-regulating side walls. The good news is the support from hormonal hot flushes, combined with depth gives comfort and cooling qualities.

Additionally, it has anti-allergy-treated fibres to protect you against any bacteria.

Bunty Pet Products has a variety of beds from waterproof, corner floor beds, raised beds or armchair cushion beds.

Older pets sometimes have problems holding their bladder, so a hard-wearing, durable, water-resistant bed is better than a fabric bed. Also, its rubber-gripped base gives your dog or cat stability if unsteady on its paws.

The Anchor bed is available in four sizes and colours.
