Feeding

Give your puppy or kitten the best start in life by feeding them super premium food. Choosing the right food for your fur-baby will ensure they get all the nutrients and energy they need to grow healthy and strong. Other factors to consider are how active they are and their breed. If you suspect your pet has any sensitivities, a grain-free diet is recommended. There are many brands to choose from and if you have any questions, our team at PetO can help with any questions you may have. Find a store.

Clean-up & Training

Accidents will happen! Your pet is still figuring things out and they will learn fast with some good encouragement and the right tools at hand. Puppy pads can help train your dog and soak up any messes quickly. Your kitten will appreciate their own private space and the right kind of litter to keep those smells at bay. And when those accidents do happen, you need a good cleaner that will reduce the chance of them making a mess in those spots again.

Health & Wellbeing

Puppies and Kittens are more prone to parasites and they can cause serious illnesses. Young puppies and kittens should be wormed every 2 weeks until 3 months of age. Treatment should continue monthly or quarterly for the rest of their lives. If you have any questions about parasite protection and vaccinations, get in touch with PetO Vet Dr Jon.

Treats

Treats are a great way to train your pet and reinforce good behaviour. Treats are part of a balanced diet so make sure you're not overfeeding your pet by adjusting their food portions accordingly. We know how hard it is to say "No" to those big eyes! Long lasting treats can also help with separation anxiety or serve as entertainment for your pet. Just make sure they are suitable for your pet's size and breed.

Play

Play is very important for growing puppies and kittens for their development. It's also perfect bonding time and guaranteed fun for the whole family. Throughout their whole life, dogs and cats need constant stimulation and exercise to keep them fit and social. Bored pets can develop behavioural issues such as chewing on furniture, marking and barking. Keep them happy with lots of interactive toys and walks. PetO's range has something for everyone!


Sleep

After lots of training and play, puppies and kittens need a safe, warm and soft bed to nap throughout the day. Just like babies, they will sleep a lot! It's so their brains have time to develop, learn and dream of yummy treats.

If you have any questions about your puppy or kitten, our team at PetO can give you the best advice on our food range, accessories and more. It's also important to keep your fur-baby's vaccinations up to date to ensure they get the best start in life. Speak to our vet Dr. Jon if have any questions or concerns. And most importantly, enjoy this exciting time, they grow up so fast!
