Transform a renovation property with wood floors

by

Given how property prices have sky rocketed and stayed pretty high even after the credit crunch, it’s hard for first time buyers to find their dream property. But no one has to be priced completely out of the market if they are prepared to take on a renovation job. If a property is structurally sound then putting cosmetic things right isn’t as expensive and daunting as some people think.

Even with a strict budget it’s amazing what can be achieved in a property that needs a little attention. Wood flooring has become incredibly popular in recent years and for good reason. It’s a great way to transform a property. Wood floors manage to be both classic and contemporary at the same time. They suit a period property as well as a more modern apartment. They offer great value for money and will wear well over time.

The choice and prices of wood flooring can vary enormously. There’s something for any property and any budget. For the first time buyer renovating a property it really pays to shop around and the best deals for wood floors are not on the high street. They’re online.

This is the place to come for anyone looking for a great deal and to stretch their budget that little bit further. When it comes to doing up a property every penny counts. By being extremely careful and looking for the best value deals on flooring it’s possible to get the perfect look for that new home. Getting rid of tatty old carpet and putting wood down instead will give any property a whole new look and feel. One that feels instantly more classy and contemporary.

How to choose the perfect rabbit hutch

by

Rabbits have never declined in popularity: they’re cute, clean, and active and are an ideal pet for children. If you’re looking to buy a new rabbit hutch for a new rabbit or just treat your existing pet, then you need to know what kind of environment rabbits are happiest in.

A happy rabbit is an exercised rabbit, so if you’re wary about letting your rabbit run around free in your garden because of roaming foxes or the neighbour’s dog (or the very real possibility of them burrowing away to freedom!), then a large rabbit hutch with an attached run is an ideal solution. Rabbits need plenty of exercise and love exploring the outdoors, so with an enclosed run you can also have peace of mind that they’re safe from any danger, too. They’re also very cute to watch when they are exploring their new world.

Rabbits also love to have their own private rest and bedding area – or somewhere to hide. It’s very important that your rabbit hutch has a closed off, large area for them to sleep in. They don’t mind eating outside in the run, but they will always sleep curled up in the darkest, safest place – after all, rabbits live underground in the wild and this is where they feel safest. A rabbit hutch that mimics a warren with a dark sleeping space with an entrance and exit “hole” to the outside world (and some juicy grass) will be rabbit heaven to your pet.

Many retailers are better understanding the particular needs of rabbits and there are now many larger, bespoke huts on the market. If you have the space, buy the biggest you can afford to properly give your rabbit room to roam, especially if you have more than one rabbit or plan to get more in the future.

Caring For Your Dog in Their Old Age

by

As your spritely puppy slows down in its twilight years, it is important to understand that they will need looking after in a different way. Not only will you need to pay them more attention, both in terms of how you look after them and how aware you are of any problems that might be arising, but even things as seemingly consistent as diet will need to be altered.

The right dog nutrition will change over time, and just as a young puppy will need a very specific diet to help them develop in the right way, mature dogs will also need a more focussed diet to ensure that their bodies get the right nutrients to cope with the demands of old age.

The wrong diet will not only leave them physically affected in terms of energy and even disease, but it will also affect their mood. This produces a vicious circle – the more lethargic they become, the less exercise they will do and the faster their bodies will begin to deteriorate. Often the main difference between how long dogs live for is how they are cared for, and the top priority in caring for a dog, at any age, is to ensure they have the right nutrition for them.

It is possible to choose dog nutrition based on age, size and many other factors. The type of food offered by companies such as Hill’s Pets will allow you to ensure you have the perfect mix of nutrients for your pet’s own unique needs. It is also not just what you feed them, but how much, and the same specific nutritionally focussed foods will also offer you a very specific guide on how much to feed your pet.

Ensure you continue to give them plenty of exercise and, more so than ever, make sure you show them a great deal of love and affection.

Getting the Right Pet Diet

by

A pet diet is far more important than you might realise. With humans, if we only ever ate junk food, we would be likely to put on weight, feel lethargic, look a mess and get ill more and more frequently. The same goes for our animals and, surprisingly, the majority of ordinary pet food brands are packed full of ingredients that, were we our pets, the majority of us would stay well clear of.

Many pet foods are high in fats, sugars and all the preservatives and additives we actively try to avoid ourselves. In turn, our pets can very quickly lose that energy and zest for life they have when we first get them and can instead become almost morose.

Many foods will include ingredients that simply bulk up the food to make it look like there is more than there is, using starch to replace what should be good, healthy cat or dog nutrition.

Finding the right pet diet may involve spending slightly more than you would on the usual shop brands, but by buying your food from companies fully focussed on cat and dog nutrition such as Hill’s Pets, you are likely to not only improve the health and happiness of your pet, but also save money in the long run by reducing the amount of vet’s bills you face.

The important things to look for are proteins, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, avoiding anything high in fat or sugar. It is easy to find pet foods that make claims to being healthy and well-balanced, but a small amount of research will often turn up a great number of things they are not telling you. The better the quality of food, the nicer it will be too, and as a result you might also find that your fussy pet suddenly becomes far happier to get stuck into their dinner.

Illuminate Your Garden in Different Ways

by

Although we’re not having much of a summer weather-wise, during the summer months it is easy to forget how dark it can be in the winter. However, December will soon roll around and you will be feeling your way to the wheelie bin at 5pm just to put out the rubbish. This is where exterior lighting can come in handy. Besides actually being able to see what you’re doing in the dark without the need for a torch, there are multiple other benefits to having outside lighting for your home.

A second major advantage of having exterior lighting is the security benefit that it brings to your property. Lights with motion detectors will instantly alert you to someone’s presence. Not just for warning you of intruders and trespassers, for genuine visitors, motion-sensing lighting will also help them to find their way to your front or back door without falling over any obstacles which might be in the way. Security lighting has a limited range of options as it usually uses floodlights and has a practical rather than decorative purpose.

Finally, having outside lighting is great if you’re prone to having barbecues or garden parties that go on until the wee small hours. Even if you’re having an indoor party, the smokers in the group may need to step outside from time to time and would perhaps appreciate having a little light on the proceedings. While security lighting is often simple in design, decorative lights are available in many more options, from attractive lanterns to coloured ground lights. Ground lights in particular are also fantastic for illuminating a driveway so you can guide your car in more easily when coming back after dark. These can be an excellent guideline if your drive is a bit of a tight squeeze.
