Deck the Paws: 5 tips for pet friendly Christmas decorations

Posted on November 18, 2023August 6, 2024 by Lily Bewick

Christmas is a wonderful time of year for most of us, and pets can really add to the festive joy. There are so many wonderful ways to get your precious pooch involved in the celebrations… after all, dogs love a little holiday treat as much as the rest of us!

However, there is one thing in particular that we’ve found a bit more difficult at Christmas time since having dogs at home! Christmas decorations… they’re normally bright, shiny and come in a range of different colours! No wonder our pooches thing all the Christmas decorations are their new toys to play with.

Given chewing or ingesting plastic nasties can be harmful to pets – and certainly won’t improve your festive displays – we’ve put together some great tips to ensure you can deck the halls this Christmas and decorate away, whilst keeping the space safe for all pets.

Keep the tree safe: anyone who has had a puppy around a Christmas tree for the first time will know how quickly they want to explore it! It’s a great idea to do some training to prepare your dog for the tree’s arrival, and WAG has some great tips for this.

Of course, training can take time, and depending on your pooch’s perseverance it may be more practical and sensible to make the tree a safe space. Do this by choosing a stable tree stand and secure the tree to prevent curious pets from tipping it over. Choose robust tree decorations that will not smash if they are knocked over and ensure any towards the bottom of the tree and pet-friendly. If you have a real tree then avoid adding any chemicals to the tree that may be harmful to pets – a little water topped up when necessary should be all a good quality tree needs to last the festive period.
Avoid tinsel and plastic garlands: At Bew Dogs HQ we used to love tinsel, it’s very nostalgic! However, as well as being pretty bad for the environment, it’s also toxic and a choking hazard for adventurous pups! We’ve easily found more eco-friendly and safe alternatives, just look for decorations made of paper, card, fabric or ribbon… these can even be homemade, and needn’t break the bank.

If you already have tinsel and can’t bear to part with it, no problem… just be sure to keep it high and out of reach of wandering paws, and be sure to keep reusing it to keep it out of landfill.
Choose your Christmas plants with care: Surprisingly, a number of popular and traditional Christmas plants are toxic for dogs. However, with some easy swaps its still possible to decorate your space with festive florals.

TOXIC to dogs: Poinsettia, Holly, Mistletoe, Christmas Rose, Yew.

SAFE for dogs: Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera), African Violet (Saintpaulia), Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens).
Pick out pet-friendly lighting: some lovely festive lighting can make all the difference at Christmas time, and is a great alternative to a tree or other decorations. Just remember to keep choose LED lighting where possible, which is much safer for pets as it doesn’t heat up and therefore isn’t a fire or burn risk. Also be sure to keep wires safely out of reach.
Choose these options instead of breakable ornaments: There are many pet-friendly ornaments that can be bought or made and are less hazardous than their breakable alternatives. Look our for any decorations and Christmas ornaments that are made of wood, felt, solid plastic, fabric, metal or even natural products like sea shells. Just avoid glass, china and other fragile materials.

Best 5 Summer Dog Walks in London

Posted on July 16, 2023August 6, 2024 by Lily Bewick

Who is interested in our take on the best places for summer dog walks in London? It’s still summer in the UK right… well at least we hope it is! There is no better time than Summer to spend the weekend out dog walking, enjoying some beautiful weather and surroundings. Walking is excellent exercise for us humans and all healthy dogs love to go on walking adventures too.

Ever find yourself asking… where is the best place for dog walks in London? We’ve put together a list of our favourite places to take the pooches across this big city… they’re all beautiful and free! Just grab your Bew Dogs rope lead and easy-fit collar or harness, and you can be on your way for a beautiful and relaxing dog walk in London:

Richmond Park: It is a vast and beautiful open space in West London with lots of grass and trees, perfect for your dog to run around and explore small woodland areas. Richmond Park really is one of the most relaxing and scenic dog walks in London. There are dedicated walking trails but remember, Richmond Park has wild deer, so dogs need to be kept on the lead during birthing season, around May and July and never let your pooch approach any deer for their safety.

Hampstead Heath: This North London dog-friendly place, which is technically not a “park” has stunning views of London and is a great place to explore with your furry friend. Check out woodland, meadows and trails for this dog walk in London. Do you and your dog love swimming? Hampstead Heath ponds also allow dogs to join the owners for a dip – perfect in the Summer!

Greenwich Park: we absolutely love Greenwich Park for a dog walk in London. It is a picturesque Royal park located in South-East London and is perfect for dog walking in Spring, Summer or just about any season. Check out Meetup for several dog breed meets in Greenwich Park, such as the Frenchie walk on the final Sunday of every month. This choice is number one if you want stunning panoramic views of the London skyline – what a way to end a dog walk in London.

Victoria Park: Situated East side, this is one of the city’s biggest parks & has no other wild animals, offering several designated areas for dogs to run off-lead. The park is mostly fenced in, has a pavilion and boating lake – what more could you ask for for a lovely summer walk. Victoria Park is conveniently located close to many other areas, making it easy to extend your dog walk in London and explore nearby parks and attractions as well.

Hyde Park: centrally located, this is one of the largest parks in London and can get quite busy. However, it has plenty of space for your dog to explore on and off lead, plus the river Serpentine and several cute cafes for human and dog treats. Whether you’re from in or out of town, dog walks in Hyde Park come with many famous landmarks to see, including the Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain and the Speakers’ Corner. Don’t forget that there are largescale events in Hyde Park at points throughout the year, including festivals and Winter Wonderland.

What are the essentials to for dog walks in London?

When out walking with your pooch remember your planet friendly poo bags, so you can always clean up after your dog. It’s great to respect other people in the park, and check any local rules before visiting any park or green space if you’re new to the area (to check for rules such as the Deer birthing rule we highlight above). Most of all, enjoy the fresh air, a little exercise and spending quality time with your little floof on all you dog walks in London.
