5 Life Hacks for Dog Owners

5 surprisingly simple yet super handy hacks that every dog parent needs to know!

Pick up your dog's hair

Dog's hair tends to get everywhere! If you have a pair of rubber gloves, they'll come in handy. Put them on, then run your hands over your furniture and watch how efficiently they catch hair.

Clean up their pee

Has your pooch peed on your favourite carpet? Don't worry! Pour baking soda over it, let it sit for around 20 minutes and then hoover.

Make toothbrushing a game

Are you having a hard time brushing your dog's teeth regularly? Simply put some dog toothpaste on a rope toy, then let them play with it. With this simple hack, they'll get used to the taste of toothpaste.

Slow down their eating pace

If your dog is a fast eater, put a tennis ball in their bowl. They'll have to move the ball around which will force them to eat at a slower pace.

Keep your power cords intact

Teething puppies love biting onto cords and can destroy them very quickly. To prevent this, apply some bitter apple spray onto a paper towel, then wipe your cords with it. Pups are not fans of this taste!
