In the starting blocks for winter
In recent years we have noticed more and more weather extremes. It can be scorching hot and dry for a long time in the summer, followed by heavy rainfall or an extremely long Indian summer well into the autumn and icy cold or strangely mild in the winter. So you’d better be prepared for a variety of extreme weather conditions and get your winter supplies in order now – especially since price increases are coming.
Winter must-haves for dogs
The Finnish brand Pomppa is not only well on its way to becoming carbon neutral, but also the hottest brand for dog coats. With an extensive palette of colors – including Petrol, Orange, Plum and Graphite – and colorful prints – like the Kartta – every dog owner can find exactly what he or she is looking for in a dog coat. Not only does the Finnish brand pay attention to beautiful, full colors and fresh, appealing prints, the comfort of Pomppa dog coats is also excellent. Whether you put on a Pomppa raincoat, sweater or (padded) winter coat for your dog, they all fit like a glove and offer maximum freedom of movement. And they stay neatly in place without nasty, pinching elastics.
Winter must-have for humans
Owney Outdoor‘s sophisticated outdoor clothing is specially conceived and made for dog owners. As a result, you benefit from several clever details, such as different types of (removable) pockets and reflective stripes for good visibility – even when it gets dark. In addition, the jackets are almost all wind and waterproof and equipped with a convenient hood. This coming fall and winter you can offer six new colors to your customers, because five jackets from Owney Outdoor are now available in additional colors. The bestselling outdoor parka Tuvaq, for example, is now also available in Lilac next to Pale Orange and Dark Navy and the extra long winter parka Arctic is now also available in Indigo Blue and Aruba Blue, next to Black, Cherry Red and Grey.
Ahead of price increases
The prices of many raw materials are shooting up this summer due to shortages. In addition, there are unfortunately still many logistical problems. So do you want to have your winter stock in order in your store? Then you’d better order now – before August 15 – to avoid price increases and logistical problems. You can order via +31(0)6 109 104 63 or info@noho.nl.
EQDOG provides 4 refreshments in the summer
Perhaps in the summer you seek coolness by the air conditioning or ventilator. Maybe you regularly swim in the sea or in a swimming pool. Or you drink liters of iced tea underneath a parasol. But how do you help your dog through the sweltering summer? Fortunately, EQDOG helps faithful four-legged friends get through a hot summer with four different ingenious dog accessories.
1. Dog shoes
Did you know that asphalt can heat up tremendously fast? At an outside temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, asphalt can reach a temperature of 50 degrees. And when it gets tropically warm, asphalt can even reach over 60 degrees. You can often feel that in your own footwear, but how do you think that warm asphalt feels to dog paws? If travelling via paving stones or grass is not an option, then dog shoes in summer can be a solution. EQDOG’s dog shoes are easy to put on and take off, but stay on firmly. They have good grip and the super fiber shoe sole protects tender dog feet from unpleasant and even painful temperatures.
2. Life Vest
Dogs love water and especially if you are into water sports yourself or like to cool off in the water, a life vest for your dog can be a smart idea. The Life Vest from EQDOG is made of non-absorbent materials, has a great fit and is equipped with a convenient handle that allows you to lift up to 170 kilos. In addition, and most importantly, the life vest helps the dog float in the water. That’s important because swimming is much more intense than running; 5 minutes in the water is equal for a dog to 8 kilometers of running. Therefore, a life jacket is a must for those who swim with their dog this summer. EQDOG offers a Classic Life Vest in orange and dark gray and the reflective Pro Life Vest for very active dogs in the water.

3. Cool vest
Many people choose to use a wet towel to cool down the dog. However, those who put a damp towel over the dog actually prevent the heat from escaping. A cooling vest can be the ideal tool for your dog to cool down. But: many cooling vests are made of materials that are toxic, which makes them unsuitable for dogs who like to chew their clothes. The Cool Dog from EQDOG is a cooling vest that is made of non-hazardous materials. The vest you make wet and provides long-term cooling thanks to the special layer ACO-DRY®. This material cools itself and ensures, together with the evaporation of the water in the vest, that the body temperature of the dog drops.
4. Ready-to-go water bowl
Fresh drinking water is very important, especially in a sweltering summer. To be on the safe side, it is therefore wise to set up several water bowls in the house during warm weather – possibly with a few ice cubes in them every now and then. Also when you go out with the dog, drinking is important. Because it is precisely then that your dog’s body needs more cooling. With the Travel Bowl from EDDOG, you always have a water bowl at hand. The bowl weighs only 70 grams and, thanks to the handy size of 12 centimeters folded, you can take it anywhere. Once unfolded, the water bowl has a diameter of 27 centimeters.
| Extra tip Does your dog not feel like drinking? Try adding some carrot juice, chicken broth or pieces of fruit to the water. |
