“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” William Morris Born in Walthamstow, East London in 1834, William Morris was a pioneering poet, socialist, environmentalist and a leading figure of the Arts & Crafts movement. Championing the skill of craft traditions through his company, Morris & Co. (est. 1861), he is regarded as one of the foremost creative figures of all time. Over the years, William Morris’ designs have become synonymous with Victorian interior design and are frequently featured in period restoration and renovation projects.

Rosewood’s resident wildlife expert, Dean Barratt shares his advice on how to welcome great British wildlife into your garden this spring: Almost anyone with some outside space can help support our native wildlife, even if you just have a window box or a balcony. For those with larger spaces, supporting wildlife in all its forms can become almost as involving as having your own pets, and turn into a passionate hobby. Literally, from small acorns…. The key is understanding that wildlife of all shapes and sizes benefit from our help, and to focus that help on providing food, water, shelter; plus, safe and easy access.

It’s the month of love, and with Valentine’s Day here and Love Your Pet fast approaching, many devoted pet parents won’t hide the fact that their furry friends are the true love of their lives!

With this Christmas looking much dif-fur-ent than last year, many of us will be making the most of having the chance to socialise and get together with friends and family over the festive season.

Welcome to our brand Rosewood blog new series, Meet The Influencer, where we get to know the faces behind beloved pet accounts. This month, we’ve been speaking to the lovely Instagram creators, Our Paws Explore.

Cats are notorious for hiding their emotions, be it happy, sad, anxious and everything in between. With lockdown coming to an end, our pets are sure to be feeling the shifts in our behaviour and mood. That’s why we have enlisted the expertise of animal behaviourist, Rosie Barclay, to decode all the tell-‘tail’ signs our cats are sending us.

If the last year has taught us pet parents one thing, it’s that a walk with our four-legged friend - even if it is only local - has been the perfect excuse to get outdoors and unwind. For many, these adventures have been a much needed break from the busy goings on in life. So, with restrictions now lifting to allow UK-based travel including overnight stays in private accommodation - the months ahead are set for plenty of adventures. We’ve teamed up with Forest Holidays to bring you the best dog walking spots across the UK from Deerpark, Cornwall to Strathyre in Scotland. With 11 holiday locations nestled within beautiful natural settings across our country’s woodland, Forest Holidays offer pet-friendly cabins, making it easier to sniff out the pawfect holiday!

As we move into spring the much anticipated warmer and longer days are on the way. The improved weather conditions give us the opportunity to ensure our rabbits and guinea pigs have exercise in the garden, rather than inside the house. We should also consider if we can improve the quality of our pets lives through enrichment and better welfare. Of course, the change of season can also bring challenges that we should be aware of to ensure that our small pets are kept safe.

Established in Britain by Tom Joule three decades ago, Joules is a premium lifestyle brand with an authentic heritage. The Joules story began in 1989 when Tom Joule started selling clothing on a stand at a country show in Leicestershire. Today, it is a true multi-channel lifestyle brand; its products are available through its own retail stores, online, at rural shows and events and via wholesale channels both in the UK and internationally.

As we embrace another lockdown here in the UK, many are reflecting on their habits and behaviours from the past year to introduce some positivity into the new year. One thing many pet parents have noted is that our companions have been a lifesaver during the lockdown months.

Here at Rosewood we’re constantly innovating to provide new products that benefit the health and happiness of your pets. That’s why this January, we’re launching our new Daily Eats Dog Chews for dogs.

From nervous pups to mucky pups, in the new Rosewood bed range we have considered all eventualities and here we guide you through the best beds in the range for your dog.

After what has been an extremely unusual 2020 for us all, the prospect of a relaxing Christmas is just what we need. With families up and down the country potentially spending Christmas apart, it’s important to remember that our furry friends are right by our side and they too love the festivities.

The countdown for the festive season is just around the corner and for those of you with little ones, Christmas lists will be rearing their heads soon, as many dream of the perfect pup, cute kitten or fluffy bunny under their tree. Here at Rosewood we encourage the idea that pets make a house a home, but the sad reality is that many families choose this time of year to adopt and more often than not, are not prepared. With two cats abandoned every hour according to the RSPCA, we share our top tips for bringing a new family member safely and responsibly into your home.

Our pets are our world, and spoiling them with delicious treats is enjoyable for both our fur babies and us as pet parents - because let’s face it, they deserve it!

It’s hard to believe we’re soaking up the last days of summer and preparing for another change in season.

Our faithful felines, playful pooches and small furries may also be feeling the effects of not going for their regular visit to the groomers, but help is at hand for pet parents who want to give their animals some much needed TLC.

Pets can quickly become uncomfortable as the temperature rises so, to help you keep your pets happy in this long-awaited heat, we’ve pulled together this handy summer guide featuring some of our newest products.

Picking the perfect product for your pet can be a challenge, as no two pets are the same.

Are pets compatible with holidays? Like everything in life, there has to be compromises. However, it’s worth remembering that it’s never been easier to travel with your pet than it is today, whether it’s into Europe or even further afield to destinations such as North America.

From fabulous fireworks to spectacular soirees, however you choose to ring in the New Year you may notice that one member of your family isn’t enjoying the festivities. You should provide your dog a designated space for them to get away from all the excitement, for which a crate could be the perfect solution!

Last month, the team at Rosewood surveyed the UK’s pet parents to discover the real cost of owning a pet and found that 20% of you spend more than £500 a year replacing chewed up clothing, cushions and other household items, whilst 10% spend over £1000.

There’s no set time for how quickly your puppy will learn, so try not to get frustrated with your pup - he/she will pick it up eventually! But if your furry friend is struggling to learn, then you could be making some very common mistakes in your training technique.

It’s not just a coincidence that children are fascinated by pets. There’s now overwhelming scientific evidence to show that growing up with pets is likely to be beneficial for a child, in terms of both social and emotional development. When young children typically see a pet as a protector, in what at times can be a frightening world, it provides them with reassurance. This then develops into a bond of trust, and stimulates the child's interest in the world around them.

Spring is in full swing and it’s likely that many people will be considering buying a rabbit this Easter. Whilst they may seem like the perfect Easter ‘gift’, it’s important not to buy on impulse. The sad truth is that many people buy rabbits at Easter and then abandon them months, or even weeks, later because they weren’t prepared for the responsibility that rabbit ownership entails. That’s why we want to make sure that you’re armed with all the furry facts to ensure that you make the right decision and are fully prepared to treat a new bunny (or better still bunnies) with a lifetime of love.

With many pets experiencing weight gain, which could lead to pet obesity, we spoke to pet parents across the UK to understand just how health-conscious we really are when it comes to our beloved pets. As part of our investigations, we surveyed pet parents to uncover the furry facts and understand our everyday habits when it comes to keeping our pets’ health in check.

There’s nothing better than feeling warm and cosy on a cold night, and we all know that pets love to snuggle and snooze.

To help keep your pet as calm as possible during this time of year, we’ve pulled together our top tips...

Although black cats are a huge hit at Halloween, they aren’t as popular all year-round. Some believe this is due to vanity, as people perceive the poor black cat as ‘unphotogenic’. In fact, figures show that black cats are actually the least likely moggies to be adopted.

Rosewood has teamed up with the bunny brains behind Rabbit Residence, a rabbit rescue and rehoming centre that specialises in caring for Britain’s third most popular pet. Thousands of rabbits are expected to be bought as presents this Easter, but sadly many of them are likely to be dumped within just a few months.

Last month we set out to discover which boundaries the nation’s pet lovers are willing to cross when it comes to their furry loved ones… and the results are fascinating! It’s clear that there’s very little a devoted pet parent wouldn’t do for their four-legged friends, with one in ten admitting to sharing a hairbrush with their pet! Many also felt that non-pet owners simply don’t understand the bond between parent and pet – but does this mean that the line between good and bad habits has been blurred?
