Horses have evolved to be comfortable grazing for hours at a time, but bending down can become more difficult for horses in their elder years. For older horses, a raised feeder is often a lot more comfortable, and could also be a worthy investment for those that are prone to arthritis or other joint-related problems.

It’s not just your horse’s head and neck which is in action when feeding at a low level. Eating from a low level means that the horse leans forward and places more weight on its forelegs, which might be uncomfortable for elderly horses.

ned & fred’s raised feeder can help to alleviate these problems. Available in sizes from 6 inches up to 21 inches, you can choose the level that’s best for your hooved companion, whether Shetland or Shire horse! Designed with durability in mind, you won’t need to worry about the feeder taking the odd knock – all of ned & fred’s products will stand the test of time.

The ned & fred raised feeder also doubles as a savvy storage solution which is especially helpful when you’re on the road. The inner cavity is perfect for storing dried food or other odds and ends when you’re travelling, when space is hard to come by!

Bath-time – sometimes it’s a pleasure, sometimes a chore. Depending on how your dog feels about having a scrub, bath-time is undoubtably a splash zone, but it’s a necessity.

For dogs, it’s in their nature to run around, swim in rivers, splash in puddles and for owners, it’s our job to make sure they’re clean, fresh and smelling sweetly before they get their muddy paw-prints over the furniture…

Whether this is an inside job with a fort of towels and a shower, or outside under the hose – bath-time can be a soggy challenge for all those involved. With this in mind, we wanted to make it that little bit easier, so your dogs can continue to roll around in mud, without the worry for the bathroom at home.

Our dog baths can be your pup’s personal haven when it comes to washing away the grime of the day.

Available in a selection of colours and both small and large sizes, our moulded plastic dog baths are ideal for indoor or outdoor use.

With a slip-resistant bottom to help your dog feel safe at bath-time, you could even add some of your own bubbles to make your pup feel pampered and relaxed.

To help keep the mud and moult in, we have also introduced a drainage plug to avoid any nasty surprises and prevent clogging – making it easier and more efficient than ever to empty.

Don’t let bath-time be a bust, our dog baths have been designed for heavy duty use – helping both owners and dogs to feel relaxed and comfortable at bath time.

For us humans, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, when it comes to feeding time for our pups, we know that this is the time that they value (maybe even more so than going for a walk)!

Whether you’ve got a greedy guzzler or a neat nibbler, it is a proven fact that stooping down to eat isn’t good for your dog’s digestion, particularly if you’ve got a big dog or a senior who struggles when bending.

That is why we’re introducing our raised dog feeder.

This dual purpose feeder not only makes feeding time even easier for your dog and better for their digestion, but the inner cavity can store dry food which is particularly useful if you’re travelling with your pup.

Available in six different sizes depending on your dog’s breed, this raised feeder will improve the eating and drinking angle, promoting a healthy neck and particularly supporting those older dogs with arthritis.

Taking a standard size stainless steel feeding bowl to ensure you can maintain your regular portion sizes, this raised feeder is durable and suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The white marble design makes this ideal for any dog and we even offer free delivery on all our products, so what are you waiting for?

If you want to support healthy digestion and neck strength for your dog, our raised feeder may be just the thing! View it here: https://nedandfred.co.uk/product/dog-feeder/

As the summer months are fast approaching, that calls for hotter days, longer nights and glorious sunshine (or so we hope…). But, ensuring we take the time to think of our furry friends in these warmer times is important.

If we are feeling warm it’s no doubt that our much loved companions, who are covered head to toe in an extra layer, are also feeling the heat.

Whether it’s finding a shady spot or having a paddle in a pool – although we love the sun, we need to take a break from it sometimes, and this is the same for our dogs.

That’s why, at ned&fred, we have taken these luxuries and have developed a purpose built splash pool for dogs! Your dog can have their own paddling product to use at their leisure on hot days, keeping the drool in the pool!

Available in large or small sizes, it doesn’t matter what dog you have we are confident that the splash pool will lead to hours of watery fun, all whilst keeping your pup’s core body temperature down.

Our splash pools, unlike their inflatable counterparts, have been one-piece moulded from durable plastic to protect from excitable claws. Making it even easier to keep man’s best friend cool, just fill up and you’re ready to go!

So, if you’re looking for a treat for your pup this summer that will not only help to keep them cool but also allow them to jump around and have some fun – our splash pools could be just the thing.

And even better, we offer free delivery on all pet products! What are you waiting for? View our range of splash pools in a variety of colours here: https://nedandfred.co.uk/product/large-splashpool/
