Pets & Accessories

Pets show unconditional love and they deserve nothing but the finest! Whether you’re looking for a new pet or you already have a furry friend or a hairless companion, you’re sure to find something special for your pet right here!

Dress them up in the cutest get-ups or get them playing with fun toys.

Whether yours is a cat, a dog, fish, a snake, a spider, a hamster or anything else, here are a couple of tips to ensure your pet is always well taken care of.

• Research your pet - although certain rules apply to all pets, each kind is special in its own way. Find out whether your pet has problems with travel or making friends with other animals. Try to match your lifestyle with the temperament of your pet too.
• Care for your pet - regular visits to the vet are absolutely necessary. Insuring your pet may also be important to your pet’s health. Emergencies can happen at any time. Ensure your pet gets the help he needs no matter the cost with pet insurance.
• Buy safe toys for them - don’t buy toys that are too small they could be choked on or eaten.
• Don’t leave them alone too often - your pets can function independently, but it’s not a good idea to leave them alone frequently. It’s possible for both dogs and cats to develop separation anxiety, which can lead to destructive or attention-grabbing behaviours.
• Clean up after them - keeping your fish tank, cat litter, dog bed etc clean keeps your pet happy.

Should you choose to shop from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping online, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
