Better Than Kids

This is a site dedicated to our dogs and dogs in general who, like every dog owner, we think are FAR BETTER THAN KIDS could ever be.

Tired of other people's baby stories? Tripping over the little darlings on the train every morning? Bored senseless other people's tedious stories about how they were kept up all night by their offspring? Breeding is great and I'm sure there's many hidden joys to being a parent, otherwise our species would have died out a long time back.

But on the other hand we don't think that anything can replace the mad joy of your dog when you get home in the evening or the fun of watching him "discover" his tail for the 14th time that day.

Even when they're naughty and steal your snacks, they're great. At least they're not taking drugs and stealing, right?

So here's our little slice of the internet dedicated to the childless dog-nuts out there with information, humour and a few stories plus all the latest from our very own Raja and Kuri....

On this site you can find

An index of our favourite animal-related humour, a guide to adopting a dog, a list of dog adoption centres in the North of England, All about Dog Health and the Dog Blog.


07/12/2009 What is correct behaviour?

What is the right thing to do? We have greyhounds and they like to chase. When greyhounds take off they are a mare to get back. We take precautions and muzzle them off lead. We take them to almost enclosed areas. I think we do most things right.

Still, we had a lady who knew we had the hounds off lead running her puppy in front of them and then getting terribly upset when they gave chase. No harm done because of the muzzles. But what a nasty and unnecessary experience for all concerned....

A Word About Insurance

As pet owners, we believe that one of the better ways to appease your high interest accounts is to invest in pet insurance. However it's important to at least compare pet insurance before buying, just as you'd compare home insurance to get the best deals on the market. In this way, you'll have peace of mind both emotionally and financially, knowing that your beloved pet is well-covered by a decent insurance policy.
