About Riaflex

www.riaflex.co.uk

"Riaflex was setup by Kate Williams, an established sports and equine therapist with a wealth of experience in treating and rehabilitating joint injuries and diseases.

Riaflex is a family owned, UK based business, dedicated to improving the health of dogs, cats and horses. It was found in 2006 by Kate Williams.

It is a well known fact that Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM can be significantly beneficial to human and animal joint health. But its effectiveness is entirely conditional on administering an adequate daily level, a fact that many companies neglect to tell.

And so the Riaflex range was born; a selection of powerful, supreme grade joint products formulated to provide the best possible joint care for your horse and dog."

Review: We have used Riaflex Canine Joint Plus for almost 2 months and I think it's great.
First of all, I like that it is stored in a tub with a screw on cap. Therefore, the product is safely stored and easy opened and closed again. The little measuring spoon is also very helpful when dispensing the Canine Joint Plus.
The effects Canine Joint Plus had on Rocky's joints was also amazing. Rocky is visibly limping less. He also seems less stiff when it's cold or rainy outside.
Rocky also doesn't mind having the Canine Joint Plus mixed into his wet food as it seems to be tasteless.
It's a great product that's well worth it.

Since 1969, the Bia Bed has become Scandinavians most sold dog bed and dogs love them.

Bia Bed Original

Description of the Bia Bed Original: "The Bia Bed Original resembles the first Bia Bed that was made in 1969 and is manufactured in Sweden. It has become a Swedish classic and is a bed that all dogs prefer to sleep in.
The strong artificial leather that surrounds the bed is though and easy to clean. The polyester provides ergonomic support for the dog. The higher edges support the dog's canine instincts such as the wolf's because they prefer to rest their heads up high in order to have a good view over their pack (us), or in order to rest their head closer to the body.

The Bia Bed is made of Swedish freon free polyester with an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 class 1 certificate. It means that the material is approved for contact with babies. The cover is made from high quality artificial leather, free from toxic phthalates. 

The Bia Bed Original is available in 11 different colours.

It is also available in 9 different sizes: Bia 0 (50 x 50cm, round), Bia 1 (45 x 45cm), Bia 2 (50 x 60cm), Bia 3 (60 x 70cm), Bia 4 (70 x 85cm), Bia 5 (60 x 70cm, round), Bia 6 (80 x 100cm), Bia 7 (100 x 120cm) and Bia 8 (80 x 100cm, round)."

The Bia Bed has a zipper at the bottom so the outer cover can be replaced.

 

Rocky in his Bia Bed Original in the colour Black and size Bia 2 (50 x 60cm):

To be extra comfy, Rocky loves his cozy blanket in his bed.

Review: I am absolutely in love with the Bia Bed and so is Rocky.
The Bia Bed looks absolutely great and due to its great colour and size range there is a Bia Bed for everyone! It is of high quality and that is visible in its design and look. I especially like that the Bia Bed is made out of an artificial leather which looks noble and at the same time is super easy to clean. I always wanted a dog that can be easily cleaned especially as it is difficult to get stains out of fabric dog beds.
The Bia Bed is also very nicely cushioned which is why Rocky loves laying in it.
The customer service is also brilliant and very friendly.
We had a lot of different dog beds over the years, but the Bia Bed is by far my favourite dog bed. It looks great and it has the perfect size for Rocky; not too small and not too big.

The Bia Bed looks absolutely great and fits everywhere.

5 Toys - 50 Ideas

One only needs a Tug, Ball, Sock, Dummy and Rope.

Review: The book 'Games box for dogs' immediately arouse my interest. It is a book which contains 50 different games for which one needs only 5 different toys. As I own an exemplar of a dog who resists going for a walk when it's raining, I immediately was excited about the games which entertain the dog inside the house. The games are very easy to play and are going from easy to more difficult and skillful. For some of the games, the dog has to really make an effort and think independently.

The presentation of the book is also very simple. For every game it is listed where the game can be played (inside, outside or both), who can play the game (one dog or more dogs) and the degree of severity of the game (easy, medium, difficult). Furthermore, I like that it is listed what skill every game trains, what it improves and what it provides.

I have already played a few games with Rocky and even though he is rather lazy when it comes to playing games, he still seemed to enjoy it. He especially liked the games which tested his obedience.

For ball games, he rather quickly lost fun playing it. Luckily there are enough games so that a game can be found for every dog and owner.

I can recommend the book to every dog owner. It is not only fun for the dog, but also for the owner.

We have chosen the E-doggy Sofa bed in colour black and size S for Rocky:

Rocky being in his E-doggy Sofa bed in S:

Review: Finding a high-quality dog bed is difficult. I have been looking for a good quality dog bed for Rocky for quite a long time, without success, until I came across www.e-doggy.com. I chose the bigger size because oftentimes I have experienced that dog beds are a lot smaller than the manufacturer's stated measurements. Not so with E-doggy. Their dog beds are exactly the size that they state which was a pleasant surprise and which meant that the dog bed turned out a bit bigger than I thought.
The quality is very good. The eco-leather is perfect because it is easy to keep clean. I really don't like fabric dog beds which quickly get dirty and cannot be washed or are completely deformed after washing them. The eco-leather is however easy to maintain and just needs a wipe with a damp cloth which is just what I always wanted.
Also, the sofa bed is very sturdy. The sides are very strong and won't just misshape or bend after a while. I have to confess, I have been sitting in the bed with Rocky and the bed was still in its original shape afterwards. So it is for sure, very sturdy. 

Even though E-doggy are based in Poland, the delivery was really fast and I was able to follow the shipment throughout.

And most importantly, Rocky really likes the bed. Despite it being a little bit too big, Rocky really enjoys being in there. He curls up in the corner to sleep or lays all the way across to chew on a treat. 

The only downside of E-doggy beds are that not all bed types are available in smaller sizes. I really liked the Area bed, but this particular dog bed is only available from size M upwards which I found a bit sad about. 

Overall, I can absolutely recommend www.e-doggy.com. Their dog beds are great and good value for money. The beds are of high-quality and will definitely suit your dogs taste.
