Furniture
If you’re happy for your dog to have free run of the home sofas, beds etc then fair enough, but if not you need to be strict. Dog guards can be very helpful as long as they’re used with regularity. Allowing the dog up for cuddle on the sofa one evening but scolding him/her for climbing up alone the next day for a nap sends conflicting messages. Lay down furniture rules and stick to them! Make the floor/dog bed a fun place to be by sitting down there with your pooch when it’s cuddle time.

Feeding
Dogs need regular feeding protocols and rules that the entire family must adhere to. For example, during human dinner time the dog must go out in his/her dog kennel without exception. Or perhaps stay in their dog cage quietly (to be rewarded for calm behaviour with a treat) Never let a dog eat food from your family’s plates.

Walking
All dogs need to learn to walk at heel. The simplest method is to stop every time he/she pulls when out for a walk. Give the lead a short tug and remain still until your dog calms down (rewarding them). This can take a while to instil, but with perseverance can be highly effective.

Wood
Wood has long been the favoured material for outdoor kennels and it is still by far the most popular option for dog-owners today. Not only is wood durable and relatively cheap when compared to other materials, it is also more aesthetically pleasing as it can be easily decorated to blend in better with the surrounding garden.

Plastic
Plastic kennels have become increasingly popular among dog-owners in recent years as they are more light-weight than wood and also require considerably less maintenance. Plastic kennels are quite competitively priced and come in some fun designs.

Metal
Although not as commonplace as wooden or plastic kennels, metal kennels are available. Their key advantage is that, because they are made from stainless steel or aluminium, they are incredibly well insulated and super-resistant to any kind of damage.

If you’re looking for a quality outdoor dog kennel then look no further than ideas-4-pets. With a wide range of products ranging from dog feeders to dog guards, we’ve got the perfect deal for you!

Comfortable
It is a dog’s natural instincts to feel comfortable and safe when lying on the ground. Orthopaedic beds for dogs can create this feeling for them while also providing postural relief and supporting pressure points. Standard dog beds typically wear down and become lumpy as they get older. However, orthopaedic beds for dogs made with memory foam retain their shape and levels of comfort far longer than your average dog bed.

Healthy
Memory foam dog beds are an invaluable aid if your dog is suffering from any kind of physical ailments. Most dogs will suffer from a measure of joint pain at some point during their lives so using these beds when they are younger can help them avoid significant problems with their joints during their older years. Orthopaedic dog beds can also be helpful to older dogs as they can help with blood flow and circulation, as well as reduce the time needed for any age-related healing and recovery.

If you need a new dog bed, make ideas-4-pets your first port of call. As well as beds, we also stock a full range of dog products including dog guards, cages and kennels. For all your canine needs, choose ideas-4-pets.

Staying with dogs for the moment, do you feel guilty about leaving your dog in the house while you are out at work during the day? If so, why not think about installing a dog run in your garden? This is the ideal way to let your dog have some exercise while you are away from the house and due to the sturdy nature of the construction, you can be sure that he won’t be able to escape from the dog run.

Well a dog guard is a simple and affordable way to keep your dog protected whilst in a vehicle; and is an advisable piece of equipment for anyone who is considering transporting their pet in a car, and wants a little extra peace of mind.

The benefits of using dog guards are twofold, firstly they will prevent your dog from interfering with you when you are driving; this has obvious safety advantages, and therefore a dog guard is particularly useful if you have children in the car or are going on a long journey.

Of course anything that prohibits the movement of an animal can have negative implications however, with a dog guard there are some definite positive implications for your dog, most obviously they help to keep your dog calm by limiting their view, which in a car can cause your animal to get a little over excited!

At ideas-4-pets we stock a variety of dog guards for a wide range of specific vehicle types, ensuring that whatever your need you can find exactly what you’re looking for!

    High street pet stores. Most high street pet stores will be able to stock a great range of dog guards for all requirements, and because you can go there and see them for yourself this is often the method of choice for a lot of people.

    Dog guard manufacturers/specialist suppliers. This is another option, as by going directly to the supplier you’ll get the chance to cut out the middle man and will often be able to find great prices. However, unless you’re sure of the brand you want this can often be less than advantageous as you won’t get so much choice, and some suppliers only sell stock in bulk so make sure to do your research.

    Online pet stores. By heading to online pet stores you’ll often be able to get a much wider selection of products than you’ll be able to get at high street alternatives, simply because they don’t have the same space constraints. They’ll usually be able to offer much better prices as well, so this will usually be the best bet.

So, online pet stores could be the best option for finding a great selection of dog guards. But, don’t take our word for it – make sure to browse through our site here at ideas-4-pets to see just how much choice and value we can offer.

Many dog guards are described as “universal” and are thought to fit into every car, but you will probably find they aren’t as secure and are a nuisance to fit. This is why Ideas-4-Pets offer the latest innovative dog guards fitted for each car manufacturer to ensure that your dog guard is safely fitted ensuring a safer journey for you and your dog.

You may think that your dog will be well enough behaved to just sit on the back seat or in the boot without any form of cage or barrier. However, you wouldn’t ask your child to sit within the car without a seatbelt, which is kind of like what a dog barrier does for your dog.

By having dog guards fitted into your boot it ensures your pet’s life is a lot safer, as they cannot be thrown forward or backward on impact. Equally, they will not be flying into you in the front of the car or any other passengers for that matter. And, even though you might think your dog will be impeccably behaved without a guard, all it takes is for one moment of excitement and they’re on your knee, in front of you and potentially causing an accident.

As well as easing transportation for your pet, we at Ideas-4-Pets also stock a wide range of dog kennels and beds to give your dog maximum comfort.
