All rabbits require regular exercise, so an exercise run is essential to give your rabbit room to run about, stretch his legs, jump and dig. A run which comes with a built in rain and sun shelter will give your rabbit protection from the elements so you won’t have to worry about putting him away as soon as it starts raining, as it so frequently does! Runs which come with a roof will offer your rabbit protection from predators. With such a large range of runs from ideas-4-pets, you will find a run that is suitable for your rabbit and your budget. We also cater for all your rabbit needs such as rabbit bowls, food, carriers and bedding.

If you’re not keen on a wooden hutch or run, you could opt for one made from moulded virgin polymer. The recycled plastic is an eco-friendly way of housing your rabbit. It is also really easy to clean and maintain, and so more hygienic than a wooden hutch. With plenty of access through doors at the end of the run, in the housing and in the roof makes lifting your rabbit out easily.

Of course, your rabbit hutch can also be used by other small pets such as guinea pigs. Although it isn’t recommended to keep rabbits and guinea pigs living together. Rabbits are sociable animals and can be kept together in same sex pairs or groups, as long as they get on together. It is important to monitor your rabbits to ensure that they don’t fight and unintentionally hurt one another. A larger cage would be suitable for a pair of rabbits to give them plenty of room to run around and stretch out when lay down.

The main things to look for when buying a hutch and run is the size of the hutch and also how effective it is in keeping out predators such as dogs, cats and foxes in order to keep your rabbit safe and away from harm. The hutch should also provide a non-draughty, dry and well-ventilated area for the rabbit to shelter in bad weather. Rabbits are inquisitive creatures, so a hutch should be a safe environment where they will not injure themselves. Hay should be supplied for your rabbit to sleep on and also eat to compliment his existing diet. A healthy environment and regular exercise will lead to a healthy, happy rabbit.

When buying products for your pet, it is vital you get the right advice and information to get the right product rather than being sold something inappropriate for them by an over-zealous sales person. It is always useful to do research yourself before getting a new pet, especially if it is particularly exotic and/or you’ve not had one before. Reptiles for example are really easy to look after once you’ve got all the right equipment, but it is getting that right equipment in the first place to ensure your pet is safe and secure that can be tricky. Here at ideas-4-pets, we offer a wide range of vivariums and reptile accessories, including vivarium heater mats and ornaments. If you’re unsure on which to buy, give our friendly team a call for advice. They will be able to advise on the right size of vivarium to buy and what accessories you need to buy for it.

If you’re looking for a more standard pet such as a dog, we cater for many different breeds and sizes – puppies and adult dogs. Dog cages and guards are especially popular for when our customers realise they need a way of containing their dog when they’re out of the house or have visitors. Dog cages also give the dog a space where they can retreat to when they are tired or scared. Dogs use them as a safe haven especially if there are children or other pets in the house. Cages are especially good for puppies that need a quiet area for them to recharge and hide if they need to.

Also very popular are dog grooming products. Dogs should be groomed regularly, but it is often forgotten about. Grooming your dog has numerous health benefits; regular brushing leaves your dog with a shiny, healthy coat free of knots and matting, Brushing your dog’s teeth may sound like a laborious and pointless task, but in the long run, it could save you a lot of money in vet’s bills from having to remove damaged teeth. Also, keeping a dog’s nails trimmed will ensure that he walks comfortably. Bath time for your dog can be difficult and more of the water can end up on you than the dog, but by starting the bathing and grooming process from an early age, ideally from a puppy, they will grow used to it and it will become an enjoyable experience for both you and the dog.

So, for all your pet needs look no further than ideas-4-pets. Our friendly team will be happy to help and assist you in any way they can whilst you are choosing a product for your pet. We love animals, and always want them to have the same safe and comfortable environment that we are used to.

It turns out that cat kennels can prove to be a great addition to the home of any cat lover, especially those living near busy main roads. If you’re keen for your cat to be able to play in the fresh air but are concerned about their wellbeing around cars and other threats such as foxes, we have a vast range of spacious and exciting kennels for your moggy. Cat kennels are also a great idea for kittens, to break them into the outside world gently.

Many of our cat homes at Ideas 4 Pets have more than one storey, with ramps and tunnels to keep your feline friends occupied. You can even choose to fill your cat kennel with any of our treats and accessories, such as our mouse shaped scratcher. Our many customised kennels include fun activities and apparatus for even the most pampered of pets.

Cat kennels are also a really good idea for families who spend most of their day out of the house. It can be a welcome relief to know that while you are at work all day, your cat can still be provided with regular fresh water and food. And as we know, there’s nothing cats love better than to eat and sleep! You may even want to kit out your kennel with something from our extensive range of cat bedding accessories to make your cat feel really at home.

At Ideas 4 Pets we design such an impressive range of cat kennels, that there’s sure to be a home to fit your needs, budget and garden space, both with inbuilt and separate runs. If you’re still unsure of which is the right kennel for your pet or you’re just overwhelmed by the amount of choice, feel free to speak to our friendly staff over the phone, or drop us a message online!

At Ideas 4 Pets, you can select from a wide range of dog beds and homes in a selection of structures and styles, so it can be difficult to know where to start. Probably the first thing to determine is the shape and size you are looking for. Whilst this obviously needs to be in keeping with the size of your home, you should also be thinking about the needs of your pet. You will need to take into consideration how many dogs you are looking to house, how large your pet is as well as its relative energy levels. Dog cages that are too small can have a really detrimental effect on your dog’s wellbeing, leaving them anxious or withdrawn.

Another important element to consider when investing in a dog kennel or cabin is your main purpose for it. Our dog kennels and cabins are great for training new puppies, and also for transporting your dogs, whether they’re staying with a friend or you’re taking them to the vet.  At Ideas 4 Pets, our eco-friendly cabins also include a pop-hole for ventilation, keeping your animals safe and happy.

You may also want to think in advance about whether you want a separate kennel run or one that is integrated within your kennel. Again, weigh up your options thinking about the breed and personality of your dog and of course, your budget. At Ideas 4 Pets we have a brilliant range of kennels and cabins with or without runs attached.

One of the most important products you’ll have to buy for your furry friend is a rabbit hutch. This is where your new companion will spend a great deal of its time and so it must be comfortable and appealing. Meanwhile, if you intend to keep your new pet outdoors, the quality of these items takes on a whole new significance.

It’s not only you who will have an interest in your bunny. Any foxes in your neighbourhood may also turn out to be enthusiasts – although their intentions may be altogether less kind than yours. When you’re not there to look out for your rabbit, particularly at night when foxes are most active, it may therefore be at risk.

With this in mind, it’s important that you find a superb hutch that can fend off any unwanted visitors. Here at ideas-4-pets we offer a range of such items that might be perfect for you. Regardless of the size and style of accommodation you want for your bright-eyed and bushy-tailed new family member, we will be able to help.

We also provide other pet rabbit supplies that may be of use, including rabbit bowl items and much more. By investing in the right pet products, you should be able to keep your creature safe and happy.

However, there are certain practical issues that must be considered when pets are brought into your home. Of course, to make sure that the creatures feel safe and happy, it’s important to invest in the right pet products. Whether you need dog cages, cat beds or anything else will depend on the particular animal you get.

Luckily, here at ideas-4-pets we offer a superb array of items and should have exactly what you need. The great thing is, thanks to our commitment to value, you will not have to break the bank in order to benefit from excellent dog products and so on.

Another issue for you to bear in mind is insurance. These days, there are many different treatments available to pets and the cost of such interventions can mount up. In the unfortunate event that your animal develops a chronic or life-threatening illness, suffers serious injury or experiences other such complications, it may need expensive veterinary care. If you don’t have the right financial cover in place, this could cost you dearly. Indeed, you might not be able to afford it, and this can be heartbreaking.

Arranging insurance sooner rather than later is also wise. After all, cover providers are often reluctant to offer policies for creatures that have already shown signs of ill-health and, if they do agree, they tend to charge a lot.

If you’re thinking of getting one of these squirrel-like creatures, it’s crucial that you provide it with the perfect environment. It’s only by doing this that you can ensure it will enjoy a happy and contented life.

One thing to bear in mind is the chinchilla cage you select. These animals are highly active and so accommodation that is too small should be avoided. Here at ideas-4-pets we offer large enclosures that allow the pets to get plenty of exercise. For optimum space, you can select our outdoor houses. These are perfect as a means of letting your chinchillas run around.

Meanwhile, allowing them supervised time outside of their enclosures on a daily basis provides them with further activity and stimulation.

Another issue to bear in mind when it comes to chinchilla care is comfort. The animals need access to a quiet and secluded nest box where they can hide and it’s also important to ensure that their enclosures are away from busy and noisy areas. Also, because these furry creatures are prone to overheating, they should be kept at steady temperatures of between ten and 15°C.

It’s also important to provide your chinchillas with clean and dry hay, straw or shredded paper that they can use as bedding and keeping their living quarters clean is crucial.

To find out more about the chinchilla products we have to offer, as well as our dog cages and other products, just take a look around our website.

Our eco chicken coops, which are crafted from 100% recycled plastic, virgin polymer and other environmentally friendly materials, are incredibly practical and are often a lot easier to set up than their wooden counterparts. They’re easy to wipe down and are all thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of your birds and provide chickens with a cosy place to nest and lay eggs – in fact, many of our eco-friendly chicken coops are developed with handy pop-holes and side doors to make coop cleaning and collecting eggs a breeze. They tend to be incredibly lightweight yet remain hardwearing and are developed to last for years to come, which means you’re making a worthwhile investment if you decide to purchase any one of our eco-friendly chicken coops.

These features are all very impressive, but you may be interested to learn that eco-friendly chicken coops are often chosen in place of everyday chicken houses because of their ability to keep out red mite. Red mites are notoriously a big problem for poultry owners, as these pesky little insects will build a home for themselves underneath wooden perches and crawl onto your birds for a feed. This can have a huge impact on your birds, especially if your chicken coop has become heavily infested. Chickens can become anaemic, may refuse to roost in the evening and may even stop laying eggs altogether if they are being consistently bitten by red mite, so these need to be treated with a specialist powder or detergent as soon as possible. By choosing eco-friendly chicken coops, however, you’re eliminating this problem entirely, as these products are made from plastic in place of wood.

If you’d like more information about any of our eco-friendly chicken coops, our team would be happy to discuss your options over the phone, or you can drop us a message via our online contact form.

Welcoming a new feline companion into your home can be an exciting experience. However, if you want to provide your furry friend with the best possible life, it’s important to take a range of measures.

For example, it’s vital to provide your cat with suitable cat beds where it can rest. These should be cosy and kept in quiet, dry and draft-free areas. Some cats prefer soft beds with roofs, while others like open baskets lined with soft bedding.

It might also be a good idea to ensure your new pet has access to areas that are high off the ground. This helps to give the animals a sense of security in their living environments. These days, there are fantastic scratching posts for the creatures to climb. Indeed, we stock a range of these items along with the rest of our cat products.

Another issue to bear in mind is exercise. It’s easiest to ensure your cat gets the activity it needs if you are able to provide it with access to the outdoors. Meanwhile, engaging it in games involving special toys is also helpful. Additionally, this serves as a good bonding activity and helps to keep the creature’s mind engaged.

To see our full range of cat products, as well as our dog kennels and other ranges, just take a look around our website.

However, if you have a dog or are planning to get one, it’s important you provide it with all the care and attention it needs. These animals are far from self-sufficient and they rely on their masters to look after many of their needs.

For example, it’s crucial to groom your canine companion. All dogs need to be groomed and long-haired breeds require particular attention. Such creatures should be combed or brushed once a day and it’s necessary to use dog grooming products that are perfectly suited to your particular pet.

Luckily, it’s now easier than ever before to get your hands on the perfect dog grooming supplies. Here at ideas-4-pets we’re passionate about providing pet owners with the items they need and offer an array of items.

Whether you are on the lookout for sheers and clippers, bathing accessories, water sprayers, special towels or anything else, we should have just what you’re seeking.

Keeping your dog groomed and clean not only makes the animal’s life better, it also has the potential to improve yours. After all, if these pets are not treated properly, they can start to smell and this is not pleasant in your home.

Of course, we do not only specialise in grooming products. We also offer a range of dog cages and many more items.
