It probably won't surprise you to learn that, at Snoozer, we love dogs. We think getting a dog is one of the best decisions you'll ever make and, frankly, we can't understand why you haven't done it already! But it's true that getting a dog isn't an easy decision, and there are lots of factors to consider. We've broken it down for you in our list of the 25 ways a dog can (and will) change your life.

If we could, we’d all fill our homes with as many puppies as possible. Wouldn’t we? There’s almost nothing better in the world than their fuzzy fur, soft noses and lovely little paws. But puppies aren’t all fun and games! We spoke to lots of lovely Snoozer customers with new dogs about all the things they’ve learned about bringing their brand new bundles of fluff home.

Any small dog owner knows that what little dogs lack in size, they more than make up for in personality. These little bundles of joy can fill our lives with love, so it’s really important that we give them lots of love in return. One of the best ways to do this is by ensuring they have somewhere safe and secure to sleep.  

It’s not easy, though. Every dog is different, and there are endless dog bed choices out there, but what’s perfect for a medium or large sized dog won’t be right at all for a small dog. Don’t just assume your dog will love any old bed that comes their way!

Training your dog requires a lot of time, skill and patience. There are several methods to consider, depending on your goal. For instance, you may simply want to train your new puppy to pee outside, or want to teach an adult dog new tricks or skills. Whatever your goal, here are some of the best tips to consider whilst training your dog throughout its life!

You’ve taken the plunge and decided you’re ready to buy a puppy! What an exciting time! But puppies don’t grow on trees (wouldn’t that be a sight!). You’ll need to do a little bit of research about what breed is right for you, and you'll need to do some casual detective work to assess the puppy and the breeder. After all, this is a big investment and you want to make sure that you’re buying a healthy and happy dog from a reputable breeder...

Dog can do the strangest things; they chase their own tails, bark at reflections, dig on solid floors, eat stones, get scared of feather dusters, and steal inanimate objects to hide in the garden - and that’s just to name a few! So, understandably, it can be pretty hard to work out how intelligent they are...

Nothing quite matches bringing your dog with you on holiday. After all, dogs are part of the family, and their unconditional love and energy always brings that extra bit of entertainment to a trip. Just think of all those long walks along the beach, all those squirrels to be...

If you’ve ever been in the company of a dog or you have a pooch to call your own (lucky you), you’ll be all too familiar with the fact that dogs can provide hours of hilarity from even the dullest of activities. No wonder they’re the world’s favourite pet!

Did you know that 50% of dogs who go into kennelsnever leave?This heartbreaking statistic is, in a lot of cases, entirely preventable. A large majority of that percentage is made up of older dogs who are very rarely adopted and, as a result, risk going ‘kennel crazy.’ Trust us, it’s as unpleasant as it sounds.

Have you heard the pitter patter of tiny paws in your home lately? If you’ve adopted a dog or puppy in thelast year, we want to hear all about it! We’ve put together a quick questionnaire for you to fill in all about your puppy-owning journey. As a thank you for filling it in, you'll be entered into a draw to win one of our luxury Cozy Cave!

And if you’re here, chances are you think so too! But with that said, dogs are a serious commitment – and we all know the old mantra, a dog is for life not just for Christmas. So with that in mind, how can youreally know if you’re ready to include a dog in your life…?
