April and May are the typical months when your cat's winter coat (including their undercoat) will start to shed, ready for the warmer weather ahead. Regular brushing is not only a great way to reduce cat shedding by removing loose fur, but is an extra opportunity to strengthen your bond with your cat.

Don't underestimate the role that treat pastes can play! Treat pastes are often multi-functional, and can help to:

  1. Train your pet by using the paste as a recall reward, or by stuffing it into a dog toy and placing it into your dog's crate to create bedtime routines. 
  2. Administer medication - crush tablets or mix liquid medication into treat pastes to ease the process of administering medication and reduce stress. 
  3. Ease grooming routines by being a reward for good behaviour or helping your pet to relax.
  4.  Encourage fussy eaters - treat pastes are a great addition to dry kibble!
  5. Engage your dog in interactive and engaging play!
