I give my dog these when she has a particularly sensitive tummy. They are like a smooth pate type consistency but she seems to like them.

My dog loves these and they are the perfect size for a meal. This one looks a bit like cat food with small flatter chunks but I think the small dogs find that easier to eat. I add a bit of the Blackhawk dry food on the top and she eats the lot!

My dog has a few allergies and these shampoos work pretty well to try to reduce the itching. I regularly groom my dog at home so I have included what I use too!

I bought a set similar to this to groom my dog and they work really well. You can use the curved scissors to trim all over. The thinning shears around the face and the metal comb is great for after using the thinning shears to get the hair off. A set...

These facial scissors ✂️ are great for under the eyes as they don’t have a sharp point. Especially good for removing the hair which has tear stains and build up.

A slicker brush is essential when you have a Maltese Shitzu as they have longer hair which can get knotty.

My dog had an outbreak of fleas and this chewable tablet really worked to get rid of them. For a few weeks afterwards I was finding dead fleas in her as well so it worked for the full time. Would recommend.

This is the probiotic powder I use for my dog. It’s not too bad price wise and contains multiple strains of probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes. It’s easy to use by just sprinkling onto my dogs wet food 🙂
