The Need for Dog Jumpers

Not all dogs need to wear dog jumpers but our Everest Dog Jumpers are special in terms of the fabric we use -100% Mongolian Wool and the process of making them – handmade using handlooms, so they are suitable for many different types & breeds of dogs even with the most sensitive coat. We emphasise on quality and supporting our local artisans who help bring our designs to life.

Many breeds cope exceptionally well with cold weather because of their thick furs. However, many of them shiver through the cold during winter, and they require help. When your pet is afflicted with such, it is okay for you to dress your pet with a coat or sweater. Many pet parents are skeptical about wearing clothing on their dogs and some even laugh at the idea. A dog’s natural coat provides insulation and protection from the weather no doubt but some may need additional warmth due to their lighter layers of animal fur. Not all dogs can face cold environments on their own. Such dogs will always be uncomfortable in the winter season. We provide various options for your pet with a large array of designs, colour and sizes. But it is important to remember that their comfort must always be a priority. Wearing a dog sweater is beneficial to your pet in many ways.

Keeps Warm

The Need for Dog Sweaters

Dogs with less hair or short hair can be defenseless against the cold. Some dogs have been clipped or shaved who are susceptible to falling temperatures. Small dogs are vulnerable to cold weather as they lose a lot of body heat in comparison to larger dogs. To provide adequate protection and retain body heat, dog sweaters are advantageous.

Health

The Need for Dog Sweaters

Dogs can fall ill, and their immune system can become compromised as a result. If your pet has an illness, it could affect the furs, thereby making her susceptible to feeling cold, indoors or outdoors. If your pup is suffering from illness or old age, wearing sweaters is extremely beneficial. Dogs that tend to get shaved often at the groomers should also be given a sweater to protect them from cold temperatures. Older dogs with weaker immune systems and dogs with diseases that impair hair growth typically need extra warmth.

Cleanliness

The Need for Dog Sweaters

Getting a dog sweater also helps him to stay clean. Less dirt means fewer baths. Dog sweaters help as a protective covering whenever you take him outdoors. He might want to roll on the grass or play with the mud and walk in the bushes. Sweaters provide a negligible amount of protection but their protection nonetheless.

Age Factor

The Need for Dog Sweaters

Much like people, older dogs have a hard time retaining body heat. So a sweater can add warmth, and comfort. Old dogs could have medical conditions that may lower their normal body heat. For this reason alone, evening walks and the winter season could become problematic. A sweater may be just the thing so that they can spend less time curled up and sleeping and more time enjoying the great outdoors.

All breeds will not adjust to wearing dog sweaters immediately. There are some dogs who resist wearing a Sweater but there are also those who enjoy wearing clothing. We sell a large variety of the best handmade/hand knitted Sweaters that are made in the Himalayan region with the finest Mongolian wool. These Sweaters are all by Himalayan artisans and contain no chemicals and are eco-friendly and your pets will look adorable wearing them.

5 Benefits of Cat Toys

Any cat which is provided with food without any effort will want to keep itself occupied, either by clawing the furniture for your attention or by randomly playing with some stuff around the house. Your cat’s instinctive natural intelligence needs expression because their hunting instinct is essential to stimulate their mind and is also an excellent form of cat exercise. Regular and squeaky toys for Cats are designed to encourage play so that when they are kept or rolled past them, they attract their attention and encourage them to pounce and chase. It is an ideal way to make them ‘hunt’ for their food. Cats are usually solitary pets and need to remain occupied. 

1. Exercise

Benefits of Cat Toys

Cats spend a major portion of their life sleeping. But too much sleep increases the risk of obesity and diseases among cats. So if your cat attacks your legs, the furniture, or other items in the house, try to channelize this behavior onto their toys instead. To keep stimulated, increase activity levels, get cat toys, or some items that will put their playfulness at ease. Regular play sessions are important, and you must remember that anything that moves will appeal to cats, as it gives them a chance to brighten their hunting skills.

2. Reduces Boredom

Benefits of Cat Toys

Cats are curious and always seek some sort of adventure or the other. Without such, there is bound to be boredom and can seriously affect their mood, habits, and behavior. A variety of new toys can help them get attention and stimulation, alleviate their boredom or avoid lethargy. You can choose from a variety of Cat toys that offer something fun for your pet. With the right kind of toys, your pet will look forward to playing with them.

3. Relieves Stress

Benefits of Cat Toys

We are always ready to dismiss the idea that animals can have just as much stress and anxiety as humans do. But it happens, and stress and anxiety are just as bad for cats as they are for humans. Cats usually feel a change in emotions and have a hard time dealing with unaccustomed locations and situations. More often than not, a change in weather, location, and displacements of their comfort zones can add to stress among cats. Playing with toys can help distract cats help them find confidence in their new environment or situations.

4. Bonding

Benefits of Cat Toys

If you have more than one cat, toys will help them bond with each other. Stimulating your cat allows for more interaction which can also serve to strengthen the bonds and have all the positive effects resulting from that. Cats generally engage in playful scratching which can also be dangerous to them. To help diffuse this situation, you could swap around squeaky cat toys, make them smell each other’s toys, and foster cohabitation. This helps alleviate distrust, motivates familiarity, and assists in forming a cohabitating bond. 

5. Confidence

Benefits of Cat Toys

While some cats truly act royal and comfortable in their environments, some can be very nervous and timid. This is seen a lot among foster cats and they have a hard time socializing with other pets or humans. Letting shy cats in a room with their squeaky toys for maximum fun, under human supervision can bring out their natural, instinctive behavior and help them come out of their shells.

4 Reasons Why Felted Cat Caves are popular

Cat Caves – Cats are explorers and seek locations where they feel comfortable. While regular places that you give to your pet can be comfortable, your cat does not just want a place to sleep. They want a place where they can stretch out, curl, climb, hide, and explore. Cats instinctively hide when they want space from people or activity. Cats also like to take their time getting comfortable when it is time to go to sleep. Offering your cat an escape within your home will keep it comfortable and happier. Cats will indeed hide when they are sick or stressed, but every home needs a cat cave or a cat bed to allow their cat a place to go to be alone once in a while.

1. Privacy & Wool Texture

Everest Cat caves are a unique substitute for regular beds. Cat caves or Cat beds will provide your pet with privacy and space that these beautiful creatures treasure. Cats love finding new places to explore. They are remarkably curious and always want to explore the world around them. Cats sleeping with you on your bed is endearing, but it is not quite as amazing as having their very own space. Your cat will love being able to relax, take a nap in the middle of the day, or cosy up for the cold night in their cave. Caves are dark, round, private, and feel soft enough for your cat to find peace and privacy. Another amazing factor to get our beds is due to the use of 100% Wool meaning the cats love the texture even without the use of catnip! Don’t confuse our felted cat caves with some mass produced cat-like den which cats sometimes refuse to get into.

2. Surprise

4 Reasons Why Felted Cat Caves are popular

It is common for cats to have a predatory instinct. They instinctively use the element of surprise even if they are just leading normal domestic lives. A Cat Cave helps your cat to follow that instinct. It allows them a space to hide and provides an environment where they can curl up, get warm, and watch for “prey” to pass by. Properly caring for your cat is not restricted to providing shelter and food. Cats need to play and have fun just like people do. You will also get enjoyment out of them because you can watch your cat get excited and flourish with their newfound natural environment within your home. Whenever cats hang out in a cardboard box, cat bed, or a cat cave and see something interesting pass by, they will just leap out and pounce at it.

3. To Hide and Observe

4 Reasons Why Felted Cat Caves are popular

Granted, cats are cute, but they are also natural predators! They require places to hide in wait to watch for prey to walk past. They might not see their wild prey at home but observing human activities from a safe spot where they feel invisible, is also what they like to do. Studies have shown that giving Cats places to hide has made them calmer and subsequently reduced stress levels. Cats love to be warm. You will often see them hanging out near or on heat registers. When a cat curls up in a box, cupboard, or cat bed, he can get all warm and cosy.

Super natural treat

Can’t comment on flavour as they’re dog chews! They last for ages and our miniature schnauzers love them. I get the small ones which are a decent size and all naturalOne person found this helpful

Natural solid great dog chew that can last!

Great item fab price cocker s loves these he’s 6 months and one lasts 1 month ( it’s in my living room so when he’s here he chews that not my shoes etc!) he’s a big puppy he loves it my frenchie can (although she’s smaller) get through them faster! But there’s no nasty chemicals or crap ingredients in these so great all round! Seriously good product at a good price

Dog loves his yak chew!

My 8 month old golden doodle puppy usually destroys bones and toys in no time! I ordered the yak chew after reading others’ comments. The first chew lasted around two weeks and the second just under a week – probably because he wouldn’t leave the second one alone! He really loves them, and the fact that you can microwave the small end piece to make a puff treat means there is no waste!

Dogs love this!

A friend who has a large breed dog recommended these to me so all the doggies in my life got one as a present this Christmas. Pricey but they all enjoyed it and they didn’t last long. Happy to recommend.

Pooches Favourite

My dog is a small terrier but I buy the medium Yak chew for her. She gets through this in under 24 hours and absolutely loves it. No waste because when it gets too small for her to chew safely just pop in the microwave for a minute and she has a fab crunchy treat. They are a little bit more expensive than a normal dog treat but so worth it for the sheer glee on their faces when presented with this
