Give your pooch a Dog Hair Day

Katie Jenkins is the creator and owner of Dog Hair Day cruelty-free dog shampoo. Her German Shorthair Pointer, George, was the real star of the show as he was the dog you see in all their branding. George inspired Katie's passion for the brand. Her love for him led her to embark on creating a dog shampoo that suited his needs. A dog’s skin has its own pH balance – but one that is different to that of humans. Since then Katie has created a loyal client base for Dog Hair Day cruelty-free shampoo and its now stocked in several pet stores, veterinary surgeries and shops.

Which harness is the best for your dog?

There are plenty of reasons to use a dog harness instead of a collar. For dogs that pull on the lead, or dogs with health issues, a harness may be the better option. Harnesses are fantastic for small or short-faced breeds as they are especially susceptible to pain or injury from pressure around the neck. Harnesses provide better control, and so work better for training and with dogs that pull on the lead. So how do you pick the best harness for your dog?
