Your fluffy friends have such a short time with us, so it is worth getting it right.
New free tool
Put in your excess, co-payment and limit, pick a real vet bill like a cruciate operation or years of arthritis, and see who pays what. Lifetime, maximum benefit and time-limited cover give very different answers.
Training & Behaviour
Hoopers swaps agility's jumps and weave poles for hoops, barrels and tunnels, so it is far gentler on joints. How the two sports differ, which dogs and handlers each one suits, and how to find a class in the UK.
Health & Wellbeing
Halloween is on a Saturday this year, with fireworks already on sale. The sweets that are dangerous to dogs, whether you should dress your dog up, what to do if they chew a glow stick, and how to handle a night of knocks at the door.
Insurance & Costs
Why the best time to insure a puppy is before their first vet visit, how young each insurer will cover them, what happens when the breeder's free cover ends, and which insurers in our guide suit puppies best. Checked against the policy documents.
Puppies & New Dogs
A dog must be 18 months old to compete in UK agility, and the Royal Kennel Club advises no equipment work before a year. Why the wait matters for growing joints, and the groundwork a puppy can safely learn in the meantime.
Walking & Kit
The clocks go back on Sunday 25 October 2026, and sunset jumps to before 5pm overnight. How to keep your dog safe and visible on dark walks, what the Highway Code and the law say, and how to shift your dog's routine.
Training & Behaviour
Any dog can try agility, pedigree or not. How to find a club near you, what a first session is like, what it costs, and how you get from your first tunnel to your first Royal Kennel Club show.
