Cosy Pawsy Christmas Pawty 2015

Hello everyone!

Merry Christmas!! We're really sorry for neglecting this space and we promise, we will be back with more updates!

First up, we are so excited when the pictures for the Cosy Pawsy Christmas Pawty are finally out! We had lots of fun at the pawty that day. It was our first event and we were really glad that everyone enjoyed themselves. We couldn't have done it without the support of our partners and of course, the participating furkids and their pawrents!

Ok! Let the pictures and video do the talking!

Christmas Date 2015

Happy Christmas!

We are really excited to share this collection ever since the stocks arrived! Loving these new accessories and finding it hard to resist their cuteness?? Taking Singapore's humid weather into consideration, we have decided to bring in a scarf collection that's perfect for local weather! Don't bother dressing your furkids up in Santa Paws costumes cos wrapping them up in scarves is the latest fashion tend in town!

These scarfs (as seen on Misty & Toffee) comes in 2 colours and 2 sizes. Both supermodels are wearing size S. These scarfs are HIGHLY adjustable and size small is perfect for small dogs while the large size is prefect for medium and large dogs.

What is your favourite character for Christmas? Honestly, we can't decide! We love Christmas Trees the most during Christmas, but Candy Canes are also a must-have to satisfy our sweet tooth! Oh, don't you think the Ginger Breadman reminds you of Gingy from Shrek? (awww..)

We had Rudolph join in our Christmas Collection Series too! Simply because we can't resist hot bods! We made Rudolph our Gym Buddy because of his masculine physique! He has undergone vigorious training in order to get this awesome body of 6 muscular squeakies that will continue squeaking even when punctured!

Here's a little secret, this is actually a #LimitedEdition Collection because there wouldn't be any restock once all is sold! Wait no more and start your Christmas shopping early to avoid disappointment!

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for first hand updates! Happy Shopping!

The Honest Kitchen Pro Bloom Goat Milk

Hello Weekend!

Today, we would like to do an introduction on our new favourite, The Honest Kitchen Pro Bloom Goat Milk. Pretty sure you've heard a lot about The Honest Kitchen's Dehydrated Food series but perhaps not so much on the instant goat milk.. So read on!

Here's a short introduction on The Honest Kitchen (THK)

THK believes in providing our animal friends with human grade food as the ingredients used are healthier and safer for our furkids. Extracted from THK's website, "Grade is a really important distinction for the quality and integrity of the finished product.". Read more on the choice of ingredient and difference between normal pet food and human grade food here.

-----------------------

Pro Bloom is a natural supplement with probiotics and digestive enzymes. This delicious goat milk is designed to nourish and nurture cats and dogs. It’s ideal for growing puppies and for the general immune support at the gut level. Pro Bloom is made in the USA from pasture-raised, free-ranging goat’s milk and it’s naturally free from pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones and antibiotics.

The introduction of Pro Bloom on ShopYbf has also lead us to other Pro Bloom lovers. FeedMyPaws is one of them! We have experienced so much on the wastage of milk because its known that milk has to be consumed within 3 days upon opening. (yes, even for our milk consumption, its the AVA guideline* to consume milk within three days of opening.) 

From the moment a packet of milk is opened, it is exposed to the external environment, causing potential cross-contamination and oxidation, which may affect its freshness. Change in temperature through opening of the refrigerator will also increase the chances of bacteria growth. Therefore, we love THK's Pro Bloom more because we can control the freshness of the milk and reduce the level of contamination. 

Similar to changing to a new food, it is always important to ensure that you give your pup some time to get used to the new diet. As the content of Pro Bloom may be slightly different compared to other ready milk, we highly recommend owners to feed lesser than the recommended dosage listed on the packet. This is because feeding pups with sensitive stomach a full recommended dosage may result in softer stools. Therefore, it is always good to let your pup test it out in small quantity before you gradually increase to the recommended dosage of the milk consumption.

As we understand such possible scenarios, ShopYbf has launched the Pro Bloom at Bundle pack of 5s instead of a usual box of 16s. This allow customers to purchase smaller quantity to try instead of buying a box that may possibly go to waste (if your pup doesnt finish it before the expiry).

Some tips on the different ways to serve Pro Bloom Goat's Milk:

1. Serve the goat milk as it is after adding warm water
2. Use it to hydrate Honest Kitchen Food
3. Pour over Kibbles
4. Make it into Cream of Pumpkim Soup! (Recipe by: FeedMyPaws)

Feel free to share with us how you serve this yummy goat milk by dropping us an email at contactybf@gmail.com or hashtag #ShopYbf on instagram! Also, check us out on Facebook and Instagram for more updates!

What is an interactive toy?

Hello everyone,


We are back with another post on toys!

Some may ask "What is an interactive toy?". An interactive toy (sometimes called enrichment toy) are toys that serve a specific purpose by providing unique challenges for your dog. These challenges help to stimulate your dog's thinking while having fun!

Interactive toys comes in many styles. Puzzle toys are commonly found in the market with varying stages of difficulty. Indestructible toys like Kong series are popular toy choices for extreme chewers as these toys are super long-lasting and works well with a combination of food and treats!

Most dogs love squeaky toys and we know how crazy they can get just playing by with toys that squeak. Here in ShopYbf, we have launched a series of squeaky interactive dog toys.These toys are are suitable for small to big dogs.

1. Burrow Zoo Interactive Hide Toy

Who doesn't love to play hide-and-seek? Hide these little squeaky animals into the burrow tree hide and watch your dog bury their nose into the tree to get the toys out! Put the animals back into the tree for endless fun!

 

2. Rolled-up Log Interactive Toy

This is one of the newest interactive toy you can find! The little woodland animals are secured under velcro strap. Watch your dog pull them out one by one! Squeakies can be found at the head and tail of the toy for more squeaky fun! This toy requires introduction and short coaching for your pup to understand how to play.

 3. Kong Wobbler (Coming soon)

Kong is known for its long lasting and good quality material. Kong Wobbler is a popular food dispensing toy that sits upright until pushed by a dog’s paw or nose. It will then dispense treats as it wobbles. Its unpredictable movements makes the toy challenging even for experienced Wobbler users. The Wobbler is sometimes used as an alternative dog bowl and to help extend mealtime and exercise your dog.

4. Kong Extreme

KONG Extreme is one of the most durable KONG toy. The ultra-strong, ultra-durable, black rubber compound is recommended for the most powerful chewers. Stuff some treats and wet food into the toy for some extra fun!

5. Kibble Drop IQ Flip Toy

Stimulate your dog's senses with this food dispenser. Treats fall randomly into one of the 4 treat champers and watch how your pup lift the cap to consume the treats! This helps your little to learn the art of flipping lids!

Which do you think is the most challenging and fun-filled toy? Spoilt for choices? These toys are perfect to help kill boredem. For the safety of your furkid, all toys are advised to be played under supervision.

Stuffing VS No-Stuffing Toys

Qn: Have you ever wondered the difference between stuffing and no-stuffing plush toy?

Many dogs adore plush toys. They will carry them around like babies or simply tear them apart like prey. Plush toys are one of the most popular choice for furkids to relief boredom. Most plush toys we find in stores are squeaky toys stuffed with poly-fillers (cottons). Unlike other hard toys, stuffed toys are softer and safer for dogs who loves to chew as pawrents do not have to worry about their kids swallowing plastic and rubber parts that may lead to indigestion and choking.

However, one problem about stuffed toy is the mess that extreme chewers can cause after tearing the toy apart. We've heard so much about pawrents clearing the aftermath of a chew war. Now, with no stuffing toys, your kids can enjoy playing with plush toys at a new wholesome level.

We call it wholesome because no-stuffing toys is somewhat similar to 5 star freeze-dried food and dehydrated dog food where it retains the best of the meat (i.e. the squeaky part) without adding any unwanted preservatives and other supporting food source (i.e. cotton).

We are not saying that stuffed toys are bad. Stuffed toys are fun and ideal for most dogs but definitely not for extreme chewers who love to tear anything and everything apart. Our Supermodel @toffeethetoypoodle who is a mid-range chewer occasionally tears his toys apart when he love them too much.. (and a few sturdy ones survived) When we introduced him to no-stuffing toys, he loved them more than any of his other toys because he can reach the squeakies easily with every bite!

Here's some no-stuffing toy that we love and is now available in ShopYbf!

The all squeaky donutz are perfect for an afternoon tea break! Available in 3 yummy flavours and  topped with deli sprinkles. Psst, produce rattle sound when shaking! This toy is perfect for medium to big dogs. (Contains 2 crescent squeaker)

These adorable squeaky friends are the cutest no stuffing toy you can find in Singapore! They contain 3 squeaker for endless fun. (Head - regular squeaker, Body - blaster squeaker, Tail - regular squeaker)

And if you have a tech savvy furkid, you can always opt for the iPaw that contains 6 regular squeakies. No, this is not a touch screen phone but a bite screen phone.
