While using crates is a personal choice, there is no doubt that many dog parents are intrigued by them and interested in learning more so that they can make an informed decision. We asked two of our favourite dog mamas - Sheyleigh @allezwhip and Bec @waldorf_and_astoria about their experience using dog crates, the reasons why they love them and their tips on how to crate train from their own trials and errors.

Both use the ever-versatile Indie Boho couch throws to cover their crates, which their dogs love!

Jocelyn Proust is a revered Australian artist with a unique flair for pattern design. She draws her inspiration from nature, particularly her surroundings where she lives on the north coast of New South Wales. Her signature style of illustration uses bright, bold colours and clean lines. Her patterns often depict native flowers and birds but also fruits, animals, insects and our exclusive Daydream Shells, Prestige Palms and Coral Cove collections. 

Jocelyn’s designs are perfectly balanced between complexity and simplicity, making them ideal for a wide range of applications including textile and ceramic products. Jocelyn's distinctive work can be seen at Spotlight, Hallmark, Annabel Trends, Australia Post, Urban Road… just to name a few.

Debi Hudson is an Australian illustrator and the talent behind our latest designer pet bed and blanket called Foxy Tales. Her work is currently being featured in schools and bookshops all around Victoria for the 2021 Premier’s Reading Challenge and she's also known for a children’s dinner set design with Ashdene/Ladelle Group and a junior reader series with an award-winning author, published through Penguin Books Australia. 

Debi illustrates cheerful, dreamy, bright worlds where animals, people and nature intertwine as one. Foxy Tales is a snapshot of two sweet foxes, decorated with leaf and flower patterns relaxing in the forest with some furry friends.

If you've ever taken your dog to the beach (or plan to!) this article is a must-read. Dr Amelia Allen is an emergency veterinarian in one of the Animal Emergency Service (AES) hospitals in Brisbane and we've chosen her as our guest for this article, for obvious reasons.

Amelia takes us through the planning of a beach trip, dangers to be wary of, how to play safely in the heat of the sun, with sand and salt water and how to wash off your dog afterwards. She answers all those common questions such as - can my dog approach another dog who is on lead when at an off leash beach? How much sun can my dog handle? Is sand / saltwater dangerous? Should I wash them after every beach trip? Enjoy this incredibly valuable (possibly life-saving) read!
