 Research by a leading UK dog food website has revealed that dog food is on average 10% more expensive this year than last despite retell recommended prices remaining the same. http://dogfoodprice.co.uk sifted through the information readily available on their website to see if any pricing trend is apparent, and have determined that dog food prices available from retailers have steadily risen over the last 12 months. Although they are typically less than dog food brands impose by way of recommended retail prices, spikes that have occurred could be down to the increasing price of ingredients found in foods.

 In a clampdown on dangerous animals, the Association of Chief police officers indicates that owners could be liable if their dog bites a burglar while they are out. This comes as recent discussions by ministers to close out a loophole in the law that makes it difficult to prosecute attacks that take place on private property may mean that amendments to the dangerous dogs act, would result in householders being liable for prosecution in these cases.

 Without close links, it is no surprise that what we see in the US comes to the UK very quickly, and none so quickly as the craze for dog grooming. But Tattoos and dogvazzles are the newest dog grooming trend from New York that will be coming to a grooming parlour near you… and not just in Essex.
Colloquially referred to as tramp stamps, this fashion for dog tattoos has worried a lot of pet people, because with the current interest in human tattoos, where people have a choice, dogs don’t.

Dangerous Dogs Laws Must Focus On Prevention |

Tuesday, 09 April 2013 |
 New laws to tackle dangerous dogs are welcome but the Government must look at preventing incidents rather than dealing with them afterwards, according to the British Veterinary Association (BVA).
The Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Bill, published today, will extend dangerous dogs legislation to make it an offence for a dog to be dangerously out of control in any place, including private property.
The BVA has long campaigned, alongside the major dog welfare charities and enforcers, for these changes which recognise that responsible owners must keep their dogs under control in all situations.
