Pets
& binge-watching Netflix
According to a Netflix survey in the US, 71% of
its users say pets are the best bingeing companions - and 30% even set up a
separate profile for watching with their furry friends!
The reasons pets make the best bingeing partners include
because they’re great at cuddling (40%); they don’t hog the remote (23%); they
never share spoilers (20%); and they’re always up for watching another episode
(18%)!!
According to this article on Petbusiness.com, “Narcos”,“Marvel’s
Daredevil” and other action-filled shows are preferred by dog owners while cat
owners are more into sci-fi series, such as “Black Mirror” and “Star Trek
Discovery.” More insights here…….
Planning
a dog-friendly holiday
When
looking to book a holiday that includes your dog, make sure you look for
somewhere that’s dog friendly – as opposed to just dog tolerant, which many
places are.
Amongst
the things a genuine dog-friendly place will have are an enclosed exercise area
and a Welcome Pack which highlights all the dog-friendly amenities, cafes and
restaurants and attractions in the area.
Thorough advance research is a must and the author recommends reading
the small print on websites etc – find out exactly where in the hotel/accommodation
you can bring your dog. And when you do
arrive, check out the Visitors’ Book for helpful and insightful comments. Good tips here……

Reducing
your eco-pawprint
This article
in Modern Dog magazine offers tips on how to reduce your eco paw print and
improve you and your dog’s health in the process. The tips include detoxing your home (specifically
by reducing the amount of chemical household cleanser – and it suggests how to
make your own); go on a plastic diet (ensure your dog’s toys are made from
natural materials such as wool, natural rubber, organic cotton etc) and source
your dog’s food as locally as possible.
