Brits Pet Guides

Four guides for life with a dog

Illustrated, plain-English PDFs written for UK owners. One covers the decision and the first few months, one covers every year after that, and two take on the problems that empty the most inboxes — the dog that cannot be left, and the walk you have started to dread.

The four guides

Not sure which one to start with?

If the puppy is not home yet, or arrived in the last few weeks, start with Getting a Puppy?. Roughly half of it covers decisions you make before the puppy arrives.

If your dog is past that stage, whether that is eight months or nine years, start with How to Become Your Dog’s Best Friend. It assumes the dog is already home and picks up where the puppy guide stops.

The other two are for one problem each, covered properly rather than as a chapter in a wider book. Home Alone if your dog cannot be left on its own. The Walk if the lead pulling, the barking at other dogs or the recall has made walks something you dread.

Every guide is a PDF you download straight after checkout, with the link emailed to you as well. Common questions are answered on the FAQ page.
