We like to think that we know everything about our pets, from their favourite treats to their quirky traits, but sometimes we can miss a few things when life takes over. Now that a lot of us are spending more time at home with our pets, it’s the perfect time to watch their behaviour more closely and really get to know them.

Watch their behaviour closely

Is your pet showing some signs of discomfort? Like itchy skin, furballs or even urinary control. If you notice these signs, it is perhaps a good time to try a different type of food. Contact us or ask or experts in store for advice but, of course, contact your local vet if you feel your pet is unwell. Shop Dog Food

Give them a good groom

Freshen them up with a bath and give them a brush to detangle any matted hair. Don't forget to check their teeth - we have a huge range of teeth cleaning products which could help prevent plaque build-up and tartar. If you notice any cavities or discolouration, inflamed gums or a bad smell, it might be time to book in a dental appointment. Shop Grooming

Unlock their full potential

Teach them some new tricks and unlock their full potential. They could be hiding skills you never knew about. Training is about being consistent. Make sure you test them every day and we’re sure they’ll love the extra treats! Shop Training Treats

No more bed bugs

We wash our sheets frequently which means pet bedding should be cleaned too! Check if their bed can be machine washed and toss it in or give it a gentle hand wash to ensure it’s fresh and clean. Alternatively, pick up a new bed for them from our range of beds! Shop Bedding

Keep them curious

Explore new ways to entertain your pet. Learn what they love most and encourage them with active play. Keep a variety of toys close by so they don’t get bored. Shop Cat Toys

Make them insta-famous!

There's no better time to take some snaps of your pet and share them with the world - after all, they're family too! Get them looking snazzy with some new dog winter clothing or have your cats pose on our new insta-worthy cat scratchers. Don't forget to share your pics with us by tagging @peto.official! Shop Apparel.

Last but not least, spend quality time with them. No one knows your pet as well as you do so give them belly rubs, neck scratches or stare into their eyes. It's the best way to connect with our pets.

It’s a strange time for everyone around the world but it’s also privilege to have our furry friends so close. So let’s make the most of it!
