Getting the fit right

Sizing goes wrong more often than anything else in a dog order. Measure the chest just behind the front legs for a harness, and the neck with two fingers under the tape for a collar, then check those numbers against the size table on the product page rather than going by breed. Sizes are not interchangeable between makers, so compare each time you browse collars, leads and harnesses. If your dog falls between two sizes, take the larger one and tighten the straps.

Beds for older joints

A dog that circles for a long time before lying down, or drops heavily instead of settling, is usually telling you the bed is too thin. Firm foam that does not bottom out under the elbows is the fix, and a low side is easier to step over. Look through dog beds and mattresses, then take the jumping out of the day as well with dog steps and ramps at the sofa and the boot.

Winter mornings and summer afternoons

Thin-coated and short-haired dogs lose heat quickly on dark walks, so a fitted coat from pet clothing and apparel is practical rather than decorative. In midsummer the risk reverses: walk early, test the pavement with the back of your hand, and use a mat or vest from cooling and summer on the hottest days.

Living with hair and dander

Shedding is manageable if you catch it before it reaches the sofa. Brushing outdoors twice a week and drying the coat properly after wet walks removes most of it, and the brushes, dryers and clippers for both jobs sit in grooming and care. In flats where dander lingers, a unit from air purifiers for pet homes makes a difference to the smell as well as the dust.

Where to look next

If you are stocking up rather than solving one problem, the whole range is easier to scan in all dog products. Reduced lines are gathered in sale, and households with a cat as well can carry straight on into for cats.
