With just 27 days left until the big day, the annual Christmas shopping marathon is now well and truly underway!!! As most families seem to have at least one keen gardener to buy for, here at Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we decided to take a closer look at the range of gardeners’ gifts available this Christmas. So take a sneaky peek at the list below and you’ll be able to cross one person off your shopping list at least!?!
1. A birdfeeder or bird table is a great gift that will give hours of pleasure to anyone who loves birds and wants to attract regular feathered visitors to their garden. The Conniston Hanging Birdfeeder is a great example of the attention to detail that now goes into the latest designs. This feeder has a copper patina roof that will gain more character as it weathers and the feeder has even been featured in BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine!!
2. The right footwear is essential for any keen gardener and wellies seem to fit the bill perfectly. Town and Country make some great wellington boots that are not only practical, but look good too!! Each wellie is handmade so they are extremely comfortable to wear, and as they are available in a choice of colours they make an ideal gift for any stylish gardener!?!
3. Let’s face it; gardening gloves probably get more wear and tear than any other garden essential so it makes sense to invest in a quality pair of gloves. Nowadays quality doesn’t have to mean boring though and both Town and Country and Briers offer some wonderful gardening gloves in a variety of styles, sizes and colours to suit every taste!?!
4. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beauty in some of the outdoor ornaments currently available on the market does seem to leave a lot to be desired!?! If you’re looking for inspiration, Bermuda make a great range of hand crafted resin water spitters that would look terrific in any garden whatever the size or shape!!
5. Metal post boxes offer peace of mind keeping your post dry and secure instead of being shredded in the letter box, and with the range of post boxes now available on the market – they also make a stylish and individual gift. With so many designs and colours available they can be matched perfectly to any style of home and offer a great focal point to every garden!!
Christmas shopping needn’t be a chore if you know where to look – the trick is to try and find something that the masses haven’t all nipped out to buy during their lunch hour!?! So where can you buy all these great gardening gifts – the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse of course?!?! Check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and complete your Christmas shopping in the click of a button!?!
Has your furry friend been naughty or nice this year?!? As our pets are part of the family, it makes sense to treat them to a little gift at Christmas time – it also helps to keep them occupied and away from the Christmas tree which is always a bonus!?! Remember ‘The 12 cats of Christmas’ carol – I’ve put it at the end of this post as a reminder as to why pets and Christmas trees don’t mix?!?
If you’re looking for inspiration - the Pedigree Christmas Dog Stocking provides a mix of tasty treats and toys that any dog will love, while the Cat Christmas Stocking by Whiskas provides the same things for your favourite feline!!!
Why not take a look at our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and indulge your furry friend with some safe and tasty treats this Christmas!?! Now as promised here are the 12 cats of Christmas – its scary how true to life this ditty actually is!?!?

There is something quite hypnotic about watching fish and having an aquarium at home can really help you to relax and unwind after a stressful day. It’s true to say that while most of us are more concerned with what is actually inside the fish tank or bowl, this much neglected glass box can quite often let you down in the style department!?!? Well not anymore – here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we have just the answer!!!
Meet the SpyOrb – the very latest edition to the trend setting BiOrb range of aquariums. The new SpyOrb combines the look of a traditional fish bowl with the performance of a hi-tech aquarium making a very stylish home for your fish!?!
Now here’s the really clever bit – the SpyOrb has a smart opaque coating which keeps out excess light helping to make sure your fish won’t overheat, and even reducing the growth of algae in your tank!?! The aquarium requires virtually no maintenance as the integral filter system traps dirt and waste to keep the water healthy, so all you have to do is simply change the cartridge on a regular basis!!!
Thanks to its compact size and pink colour, the SpyOrb would make an eye catching feature in any room of the house – so why not treat yourself to a little aquatic therapy!?! Check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and have some fun with your fish!?!?
As a nation we love cats, even their fierce independence, stubborn streak a mile wide and sometimes downright snooty behaviour doesn’t put us off and here in the UK we own more cats than any other animal. Despite our love affair with all things feline, thousands of cats still end up in rescue homes every year, and one of the most common reasons for surrendering an animal is the refusal to use a litter box.
So what can you do if your cat refuses to be toilet trained and use a litter box?
1. Firstly, take your cat to the vet to rule out any underlying medical problems. A urinary tract or bladder infection could be making your pets life a misery or problems such as diabetes, kidney disease and thyroid disease mean your cat will be drinking far more than normal.
2. Neutering a male cat may also help to stop any territorial spraying, as removing the testosterone reduces the tendency for male cats to want to be dominant and mark their territory.
3. Some cats are extremely picky over the type of litter used so it may be worth experimenting to find your cats preference. If you have a fussy cat and need to change the type of litter for any reason always mix the new variety in a little at a time – that way your cat won’t freak out and go on litter strike!?!
4. Where you position the litter box is also an important factor for your cat in deciding whether to use the box or not. Cats like privacy and a litter tray in the middle of a busy hallway is very unlikely to get used at all.
5. Previous experience can matter too, if something fell with a loud band next to the litter box when your cat was last using it – he’ll avoid it like the plague from that point on!?!
6. Believe it or not some cats can be as picky about the type of litter box as they are about the type of litter in it!?! Unfortunately there is no hard or fast rule as it is down to your own cats personal preference again - some cats prefer a covered box while others will only use a tray, so the only way to discover what suits your cat is to leave a variety of different trays and boxes around the house.
7. Cleanliness is a virtue for all cats and they don’t want to use a dirty bathroom anymore than we do so scoop and change on a daily basis!!!
8. Finally always keep a spare litter tray for cleaning days - that way if your cat feels the urge while you are cleaning out his litter box, he won’t leave you a little present on the floor to clean up afterwards!?!
Hopefully some of these tips will prove useful when you are trying to encourage your feline friend to become more house trained, and will save you a fortune on carpet cleaning at least!?! Here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we’re only an e-mail or phone call away if you need any advice – and remember we’re online too if you need any supplies!!!
With only 42 days left until Christmas we are now starting to feel very festive here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse!!! Our Christmas stock has arrived and all the gifts and decorations have given us a warm and happy glow already!?!
Disneyland has some truly beautiful decorations at Christmas time, and being able to bring this festive atmosphere into your home would really help to create an enchanting Christmas. Children of all ages love the magic of Disney and the popular characters have delighted generations, so why not spread a little fairy tale magic with your Christmas decorations this year???
Even the traditionalists can’t fail to fall in love with the latest range of Disney decorations. Featuring all your favourite characters – Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto and of course Donald Duck – they really bring to life the magic of Disney motion pictures!! There is a character to please everyone and each decoration will be much cherished for years to come.
Why not take a look at our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and let Mickey bring the magic of Christmas into your home!?!?
With obesity in humans on the rise, it seems we are now facing a similar increase in the number of porky pets as we share our unhealthy diet and aversion to exercise with our furry companions!?! It didn’t take long for someone to spot a niche in the market and so the Dog Walker Treadmill was born!?!
This doggy sized treadmill comes complete with castors so it can be moved around the house, while each side is protected with a shield to stop any accidents. The machine also sports a safety leash which prevents the dog from sliding off the rear of the treadmill or from sitting down on the job!?! It also comes with a remote control so you can vary the speed of your dogs walk from the comfort of your arm chair!?!
On a slightly more serious note, most dogs are actually under exercised, which is not good for stress relief or for releasing pent up energy if they have been cramped up in the house all day. Exercise will help your dog to maintain a healthy weight, keeps muscles and joints flexible and will help him to live longer and generally feel better.
Unfortunately, without you to lead the way your pet is unlikely to start running laps or doing sit ups in the near future!?! So, instead of buying him a doggy treadmill, why not burn a few calories together the old fashioned way and take him for a walk??
Here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we stock an extensive range of dog accessories. Everything from collars and leads, to muddy paw wipes to save your carpet and furniture from muddy paw prints!!! Why not check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and put the fun back in exercising today?!?
As with people, the incidence of diabetes diagnosed in cats and dogs is on the increase. Although diabetes was not so much of a problem in past decades, it now affects as many as one in fifty animals – especially pudgy pets.
Research has shown that pet obesity is on the rise, and type one and type two diabetes is also rising right alongside it. Of course, not every dog or cat that develops diabetes is fat, but anyway you look at it, obesity and diabetes are linked. The good news is that pet obesity is preventable and reversible, and often so is the diabetes. In fact, in almost all cases diabetes is a preventable disease if your pet maintains a normal weight.
So, how can you tell if your pet is suffering from the early stages of diabetes? A couple of warning signs to look out for are if they start to drink an unusual amount of water, if they urinate much more frequently, or if your pet starts to eat ravenously but still loses weight. If you notice any of these signs, it is always advisable to take your dog or cat to the vet for a check up.
Like humans, cats and dogs need to eat a healthy balanced diet to stay healthy. An average ten pound cat needs to consume approximately 275 calories a day, while dogs will eat less often than cats, but consume larger meals.
Here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we stock an extensive range of quality pet food at very competitive prices. Everything from pet food specifically formulated for sensitive stomachs to low cost brands – all of which will provide your furry friend with the healthy and nutritious diet they need to stay in tip top condition.
