1. Litter Tray Liners

I never used litter tray liners until I recently got up two new kittens and these liners have been amazing! Instead of washing the litter trays outside after every change I can just pull out the liner full with dirty litter and throw it in the bin.

2. Litter Tray scoop

This is essential for giving the litter tray a spot clean without changing the litter. I usually have more than one so they can be cleaned in between.

3. Litter Waste Bin

This is another great thing to have when cleaning out the litter tray so you don't have to put it in an outside bin after every clean. It is designed to cut out any smell and is much more hygienic.

4. Freshening Spray

You always need a freshening and anti-bacterial spray to use in and around the litter tray. I use it every time I clean the litter tray.

5. Black Light Torch

A black light is used to shine on litter trays, floors and walls to check to see if there are anything outside of the litter tray. If anything glows under the torch then you should clean that area.

10 Things You Need Before You Adopt or Buy a Cat

1. Cat Carrier

You will need a cat carrier to bring your cat or kitten home! It is also needed to bring your cat to the vet or to travel your cat in the car.

2. Food and Water Bowls

Food and water bowls are another essential, I recommend having a separate water and food bowl for each cat that you own. Stainless steel is a great option to avoid bacteria.

3. Food

It is important that you research cat food before you get a kitten or a cat. You should be looking for a cat food that has a high amount of actual meat, not things like 'chicken meal' or vegetable protein. I always recommend feeding dry AND wet cat food for added moisture.

The best thing to feed your cat is a raw diet but I understand that for a lot of owners this is not possible.

4. Litter Tray And Equipment

Litter trays are an obvious product for indoor cats. There are a lot of products that go with a litter tray to make your horse cleaner and avoid the smell. Read more about litter tray accessories here.

5. Bed

Not essential if you are on a budget but it's nice to give your pets their own space to sleep. I always choose a very thick and fluffy or memory foam bed.

6. Collar And Tags

I would highly recommend having your cat microchipped AND put a collar with tags on. Even if you plan to keep your cat indoors.

7. Scratching Pole Or Tower

Many people may not think this is something that will be a great help when getting a new cat but it definitely is. Your cat will love it and you will notice your cat won't feel the need to scratch your stuff.

8. Toys

A bored kitten can be a nightmare! Keeping you up all night and running around knocking things over. This has been happening to me with two new kittens and so I have had to buy more toys for them.

9. Grooming Equipment

You need a grooming kit for your cat whether it is a kitten or an adult. If you have a kitten it is important to groom him often to get him used to being groomed or you will have problems when he grows up!

10. Health Care

Once you have adopted or bought a kitten or cat it is important to ask when the cat has last been wormed and had flea treatment (along with other things). You will need these things to keep up the routine.

5 Products You Need to Wash Your Dog

1. Shampoo

Try to use a shampoo that is made for dogs or is very gentle like baby shampoo. I like the groom professional shampoos as they have different scents to choose from. Avoid the eye area with any shampoo.

2. Anti Bacterial

Sometimes your dog may be itchy, have a rash or have skin irritation. In these cases, it is best to use an antibacterial shampoo made for dogs.

3. Dog 'Perfume'

Yes, it is a thing now! You get some amazing smells and it is all safe for your dog. Some dog groomers are starting to use this now to make the dog smell so much better!

4. Eye Wipes

Since we shouldn't get shampoo near the dog's eyes, it is much better to use eye wipes to clean around them. Clean the hair around the dog's eyes, nose and ears.

5. Ear Cleaner

I like to clean my dog's ears out every time I wash them. I simply squirt this product into my dog's ears, massage for 30 seconds and clean them out with a cotton ball.
