Our top tips to avoid pet pandemonium this Christmas!?!

As Christmas trees and decorations spring up across the country, many pet owners are now facing a familiar dilemma – just how do you manage to keep your dog or cat away from the Christmas tree this year?!?!

Each festive season, trees are toppled, ornaments are broken and edible presents are sniffed out and unwrapped all because temptation got the better of our four legged friends!?! So here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we have tracked down a few simple tricks of the trade to help keep your pets safe and your Christmas tree in one piece over the festive period!?!

1. A Christmas tree laden with lights and decorations acts like a magnet to both cats and dogs so tethering your tree is always a good plan. This is a really simple idea and can be done for only a nominal expense. The idea works in much the same way as free standing furniture tethered to a wall when you have a toddler around the house, and it will prevent the tree from toppling over onto your inquisitive pet!!!

2. When you put your Christmas tree up always try to conceal the trunk of the tree with gifts – even if you have to use imitation presents until the big day arrives. If you manage to conceal the tree trunk from your cat then you have already seriously hindered his chances of climbing the Christmas tree at all!?!

3. Although dogs won’t try to climb your Christmas tree, they will quite happily try to chew the branches or even play tug of war with the whole tree!?! If you can, try to position your Christmas tree in a separate room and then you can limit your dog’s access to supervised visits only!?!

4. Always check with your family and friends if a gift contains anything edible before putting it under your tree. Your dog will be able to sniff out any concealed treats in a nano second – and will helpfully unwrap and sample them for you too if given half a chance!?!

5. Poinsettias, mistletoe, holly berries and even some Christmas trees themselves are toxic to dogs, cats and birds so make sure your Christmas decorations are pet friendly before bringing them into your home!!!

By taking a few simple precautions you can help to make sure that Christmas is an enjoyable time for everyone in the family. 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 pet friendly treats or supplies!!!

Guinea pigs are never happier than when they’re eating so our latest offer should really make your guinea pig salivate in anticipation!?!?

For a limited time only Pascoe’s Guinea Pig Goodness and Wagg Guinea Pig Crunch are on offer at ‘buy one – get one free’, meaning your furry friend can enjoy the quality food he loves, while you enjoy the savings!?!

Not only that – we are also offering the same ‘buy one – get one free’ deal on our range of rabbit food too, so this really is a great time to stock up on a few essential pet supplies!!

Why not take a look at our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk to find these great deals as well as many other ‘buy one – get one free’ offers?!?

Our top 5 gifts for gardeners this Christmas!?!

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!?!

Do you believe in Santa Paws?!?!

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!?!?

Meet the SpyOrb - the James Bond of all aquariums!?!

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!?!?

The top 8 toilet training tips for your cat!?!

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!!!

Wishing you a very Disney Christmas!?!?

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!?!?

The lazy owner's guide to dog walking!?!

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?!?

The diabetes epidemic hitting the pet world!!

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.

A fluorescent glow in the dark cat – it must be Halloween!?!?

Black cats have always been synonymous with Halloween and all things spooky, but now a tabby cat??? This 6-month-old feline may look like a standard issue orange tabby in the comfort of daylight, but he turns a ghoulish shade of fluorescent green under the shroud of darkness!?!?

Despite appearances, the glow in the dark cat is not a practical joke or a Halloween trick, but is actually the result of a genetic experiment to aid endangered species. While cloning a cat, the scientists introduced a gene that would produce fluorescent green proteins to enable them to see if the genes actually made it into the finished, cloned cat. Hopefully this new research will enable scientists to combat animal diseases via gene therapy, and later maybe even the possibility of inserting good genes into humans while talking bad genes out.

For the time being that’s all in the future, back in the present the glow cat can look forward to a normal life — unless he’s exposed to a black light, the secret of his glow is safe!?!?

Why not check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk where you’ll find lots of trick or treat tasty titbits for your cat in honour of Halloween??!

Halloween has gone to the dogs!?!

Halloween can be a stressful time for pets – especially dogs, and Friday 31st October 2008 is definitely a night to keep your dog at home, safe and sound.

Even the friendliest of dogs may not remain calm when costumed trick or treaters ring on the doorbell. It could be someone your dog is used to and normally likes, but when they are dressed up it may frighten and upset even a usually calm and placid dog.

Chocolate and sweets are another big no no for your dog, and everyone including young children need to understand that they cannot share chocolate Halloween treats with the dog. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and can cause a range of symptoms including hyperactivity, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, seizures and even death so it’s serious stuff to avoid.

That doesn’t mean that your dog has to be left out of the Halloween fun though, so make sure you have a range of tasty dog friendly treats available for your furry friend to enjoy!!! If nothing else, they will keep him occupied when trick or treaters come to your door, as his mouth will be too full to bark!?!?

We have a great range of dog treats in stock so check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and stock up on pet friendly Halloween goodies today!?!

Cats just want to have fun!?!?

Treat balls are most commonly used for dogs, as they help to address behavioural problems and keep most dogs occupied for hours!!! They are also equally loved by cats and can be important in occupying a cat that has become over dependent on humans, or for cats who just want to have fun!!!!

If you leave your cat alone when you go to work, a treat ball can work wonders as some cats do get lonely and it will also give him a positive association when you leave the house. A treat ball can also be handy for overweight cats as they make a small meal last for ages and encourage exercise without him really realising it!?!

According to animal behaviourists, cats are often lacking in stimulation and so may become inactive and depressed as a result. Offering a treat ball will enrich the cats environment by providing both a mental and physical challenge, and will appeal to their natural hunting instinct as they get rewarded with treats for pursuing the ball.

Treat balls are great for cat owners too as it will encourage the most world weary cat to play with a level of enthusiasm they haven’t shown since kittenhood, and remember, a cat that’s busy trying to coax food out of a treat ball isn’t going to have time to waste scratching furniture, climbing curtains or over turning your pot plants!?!?

Why not check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and try the Cat Treat Ball out for yourself?? Our treat ball is currently on offer at ‘but one – get one free’ so why not hide a couple around the house and keep your cat amused for days at a time!?!

Interior designing for reptiles!?!?

When you spent your life living in an aquarium or terrarium, life can get a little mundane some days, and living in a glass tank also means that privacy is in very short supply!?!? So why not turn your hand to a spot of interior designing for your reptile and jazz up your aquarium with a hanging garden display???

All hanging gardens include Superpet’s patented suction cups so you can attach them to any smooth surface, including the back wall and sides of any aquarium or terrarium. Hanging gardens not only help to create a better looking environment for your fish, frogs, lizards or reptiles, but they will also provide a perfect hiding and resting place.

Why not check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk where you will find many reptile accessories currently on offer at ‘buy one – get one free’ – including Superpet hanging gardens!!!!

Reptiles are a true labour of love!?!

Owning and caring for a reptile can be both rewarding and educational. There’s no denying they make very interesting pets, but if you want a fulfilling and long lasting experience as a reptile owner, you need to take the time and effort to learn about what's involved before you purchase or accept a reptile.

A reptile in captivity depends on its owner completely. While it may have natural defences, it is still basically helpless and unable to care for itself making every element of care equally important. Reptiles are cold-blooded and so unable to make their own body heat, which is why it is hard for them to move around if the temperature isn't right in their environment.

A successful terrarium should be set up with a proper heat source for temperature perfection, and installing a thermostat will ensure the correct temperature at all times. Reptiles also need a basking lamp to sunbathe and a light tube for ultraviolet rays.

Remember any reptile will bite or scratch if it feels threatened or frightened so always make sure your tetanus shots are up to date just in case!!! Caring for your reptile should be a rewarding and fun experience for both of you, but it does require long term commitment as many reptiles will outlive cats and dogs.

Here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we stock an extensive range of reptile accessories. Everything from sunlight lamps to thermometers all designed to keep your reptile friend in tip top condition, and remember we’re only an e-mail or phone call away if you need any advice!!!

The beginners guide to true equine happiness!?!?

With winter just around the corner it’s more important than ever to keep your horse safe and happy to see him through the gloomy months ahead. Obviously there are some essentials that every horse needs in order to survive and be happy such as fresh water, food, shelter, companionship, freedom from pain and exercise. However, contrary to popular belief expensive rugs, a stable with every shaving neatly arranged and the very best of designer tack actually has very little impact on equine happiness!!!!

Always remember that the only reason we have horses is for our pleasure and enjoyment. Looking after them shouldn’t be a chore, so when you are with them give them your full attention and make time to get to know them. Even if you don’t have time to ride you can have fun just being with them, finding out what kind of things they like and what they don’t. Try grooming, giving them a massage or just generally making a fuss of them. By building a relationship with your horse from the ground, you will increase the trust and communication between you when you ride.

Did you know that here at the Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we stock an extensive range of equestrian products?? Everything from the basic essentials such as tack trays and feed buckets, to a great range of feed supplements designed to keep your horse in tip top condition!!!

Why not take a look at our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and help keep your horse happy and healthy this winter!!!

The wipes contain an anti-microbial agent to clean cuts and grazes too.

The wipes are currently on offer at half the usual retail price so why not check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and keep a pot by the front door for muddy emergencies!?!?
