Pet love

Not to make anyone upset, but we all know that our pets just don't live as long as we do (unfortunately). 

However, if you wanted to immortalise your furry friend forever, why not consider cloning them?

No, not in a creepy scientific way, we mean getting a teddy bear replica made… obviously! 

Cuddle Clones creates a fluffy toy from a picture of your pet, and you can use as many pictures as you like to ensure it's a very accurate match.

They're so impressive lads. 

Remarkably, you can also choose the tail that you want (excited, relaxed or laying down), pick how your want their ears to appear, select their mouth, as well as the toy/pet's position (standing or sitting).

Now, based on the amount of hard work and detail that goes into these toys, you won't be surprised to hear that they're fairly pricey. 

Prices start at £129.50 for small pets like bunnies, or £144.04 for dogs, cats and horses (FYI, horse teddies are NOT life size).

They creations take between four to eight weeks to be made, but that's down to all the sweet detail.

Oh, and if teddy bears aren't your scene, fear not, as the company makes everything from slippers to ornaments, so no excuse. 

We love these tbh!

Met Éireann has warned the country about the upcoming harsh, icy weather, with severe frost and snow showers on the way.

We may have our winter woollies at the ready, and a fridge full of food, however, it’s important to remember that your pets need just as much care during these wintery conditions.

The DSPCA has shared some helpful tips for those of you who will be caring for your fluffy friends during the icy conditions.

Taking to Facebook, the DSPCA Veterinary Hospital shared some advice that will certainly help those of you with pets at home.

They explained that keeping your pets inside, warm and safe should be your priority, especially with heavy snow and very cold temperatures forecasted for the coming days.

“Keep your animals indoors, supply cats with litter trays and keep your dog on a lead,” they shared.

If your cat or dog has been outside make sure to keep them super warm, “Dry them thoroughly after being outside.”

Many people will be using salt or grit on footpaths and roads this week, and even though they prevent accidents for humans, they can cause great discomfort for animals, “Clean their paws if they come in to contact with salt or grit.” If you have a dog, you may also want to get some doggie boots to protect his paws against ice and rock salt.

“Ensure microchip details are up to date and they are wearing an ID tag,” they warned.

Another thing to do is to hit the bonnet of your car before starting it as cats tend to climb into the engine when they are cold.

It’s important to remember that even if your pet usually stays outside, you must bring them in when the conditions worsen. If the weather is too cold for a human, it definitely isn’t suitable for an animal.

However, if you are not able to bring your pet inside, they said, “Make sure they have a secure warm shelter, food and water at all times.”

Once you’ve looked after your own pets, try help out other animals, including birds, something as simple as putting out fresh water or seeds can help.

“In case of a veterinary emergency, have your vet’s number saved or written down, some vets don’t provide on-site out of hours services so be aware if you need to travel to an unfamiliar location, have the directions ready before you need them,” they concluded.
