Crufts Shopping Experience The message about the importance of keeping our dog’s teeth clean and healthy is picking up momentum. So much so that there were an array of different products at Cru\s helping you to do just that. Some have been men?oned in previous magazines, but the latest product from Lily’s Kitchen – the Wooarush – hasn’t yet been included. Available a Cru\s, this chew is recommended for daily use. It has a spongey texture, so it can get right to the gumline to help remove the plaque. Although the small version is recommended for dog’s up to 10kg. Aussies sampling it ate it so quickly, it's not possible to be sure it had any real effect. The medium size did seem to last longer. For a week’s supply of the Small woo}rush it is £6. The medium size is £6.50 Wildwash healing paw balm WILDWASH is a new concept in animal care. We have created the ul?mate Healing Paw Balm to relieve your dogs’ cracked, dry and rough paws and protect them from everyday wear and tear and extreme weather condi?ons. Sweet Almond Oil, Frankincense and Kanuka work in harmony to heal, reduce inflamma?on, moisturise and ease the discomfort of sore cracked pads. Massage into Paw Pads. Allow to absorb, leaving a light coat of protec?on. For best results use daily. Can also be used on nails, noses and any dry or calloused skin. This 100% natural product is completely safe for your dog to lick. £12.95 Utsumi half moon comb - Priced at around £70 it’s not the first comb you might choose to buy! But this Stainless steel half moon shape is designed to groom Facial area comb developed for easy combing of round faces while maintaining of safety of dogs eye area. When grooming, the comb gives more body and shape. It’s 7.5 inch and should only be used for finishing. And if pink is not your colour – well there is a s/s silver op?on. Yes you can buy cheaper combs, but this gives a more professional finish. Plus – you don’t get the shiny metal coa?ng peeling off. There is a trend for owners to use harnesses on their dogs. The benefits are perhaps for a future edi?on of the Magazine. But when trying to find suitable harnesses for Aussies it can be a problem. They have longer backs and o\en deeper chests than the off the shelf harnesses. Enter the Perfect Fit range that was on sale at Cru\s. Each element is sold individually and so can be custom sized for your Aussie. As you buy each bit separately, it means that if your Aussie needs a size up – you just replace the relevant parts. The full works for an Aussie is around £30. Seems a lot but its designed to be easy to fit and comfortable for the dog. Worth a look if you are thinking of a harness. Tug-Eze gentle rope leads. These handmade leads are custom-made to suit you. Easy on the hands should you dog pull and jerk, so the end of nylon leads burning your hand. They make collars as well. Something to consider when buying your next collar and lead. Viewers of ‘I’m a Celebrity’ will be aware that the Bush tucker challenges o\en feature insects. Well now you can let your Aussies have a go at their own tucker challenge. This dog food has insects as the source of the protein. Produced by the Green Pedood company. 4.5kg costs around £20. Whiff Whaff Designs certainly needs a mention. Their collars, harnesses, leads etc were selling like hot cakes at Crufts. The inspiration started when the company owner was tempted to buy some of the colourful dog accessories for her own dogs. She was so disappointed the items were more pretty than practical and they fell apart all too soon. She decided to make her own range that would be durable and worth the money. You can check out their website to see the range. She has terriers, so she understands what will suit them. Colour and durability wise. Bandannas start at £5.95 and collars at £14.95. Check out their website for more information and where they will be having a stand this year.
Although a dog show, Crufts is where you can find everything and anything for dogs and a few more things you wouldn't dream of finding. Like a tool to make your eyebrows look better…yes - who’d think you could solve this problem during a trip to Crufts. But there are many different products, some new, some innovative and some curious that you can buy. Here are just a few that were spotted at Crufts this year by visitors.
