Addicare review

Addicare sent me some of their products to try out and review and the one that has been a hit with everyone has been the anti-bacterial anti-odour dog bed. Both dogs have tried it out, and at least two of our cats have made it into the bedroom and been discovered comfortably fast asleep on the bed. The filling has stood up to all this use very well and the bed is as fluffed up as the day it arrived, but what about the smell? Well in the name of research I have been down on my knees several times pressing my nose into the addicare bed and the other beds we have and I have to say that I can definitely tell the difference. I do wash our dog's bedding regularly but even so our old dog beds have a doggy odour while the Addicare doesn't. I love the fact that the anti-bacterial qualities of the bed reduces bacteria by 99.9% and anything that can helps our dogs be happier and healthier is good news to me. I've also been trying out the grooming wipes which are anti-bacterial and anti-viral and were perfect when we had to deal with a dog who had just rolled in something stinky that another selfish dog owner had failed to scoop up. We were able to clean the dog up enough to be allowed back in the car to travel home, and they're also handy if you have a dog that tends to tread in anything disgusting. The range also has a surface cleaner and a dog shampoo and other products to help you keep your dog and your house clean. To find out more go to addicare.co.uk or send a tweet to @Addicare.
