Leading joint supplement brand YuMOVE has teamed up with interior design guru and TV personality Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen to create the ‘World’s Best Dog House’.
After conducting research with 1,000 dog owners, YuMOVE has revealed that even the most experienced owners are not aware of some of the most important home improvements that can be made to turn every home into a pooch paradise.
In a multiple choice questionnaire, 65% stated that dog toys were the most important, with only a small number of owners listing ergonomic bedding (12%), elevated food bowls (29%) and non-slip rugs (26%), which can all dramatically reduce the risk of certain joint issues, as essential items,
Enter Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. The dapper designer has spent his career creating the best home environments for people and, as the proud owner of three dogs, he is teaming up with YuMOVE to inspire owners across the country to create the best possible home environment for their canine companions.
BESPOKE
While LLB brought the flair with a delightful colour scheme and bespoke printed wallpaper and bedding that features imagery of his own beloved dogs Estella Piglet (12), Dylis Daughter of Gladice (11) and Midge Marriott (4), YuMOVE brought the care by working alongside its team of veterinary experts, including vet and founder of Canine Arthritis Management Hannah Capon, to highlight the lesser known in-home items that can make a real difference to a dog’s long-term joint health, happiness and wellbeing by creating the ‘World’s Best Dog House’.
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: “I’ve been saving the planet from design disaster for decades, but I think this could have been my toughest challenge yet. While shopping for chandeliers and dog-friendly drapes, I’ve been working with YuMOVE’s team of veterinary experts to ensure that the ‘World’s Best Dog House’ design is as perfect for my dog’s long-term health as it is wonderful on the eye.”
ACTIVE LIFE
Dr John Howie, CEO and founder at Lintbells said: “Lintbells mission has always been to make sure that dogs enjoy an active life, for their whole life and to do this we are dedicated to ensuring dog owners are fully aware and informed about the lesser known aspects of every day life that can impact a dogs long-term health and wellbeing.
“We know that owners want to do the best for their pets, but some don’t realise the damage a typical home environment can cause to a dog’s joints. We’ve created the ‘World’s Best Dog House’ to educate owners about hidden dangers in the home while showing them how easy it is to create the best in-home environment that will benefit the long-term health and wellbeing of their beloved pet.”
Hannah Capon added: “Dogs are incredible at coping and carrying on and we often don’t detect they are having difficulties until they are in considerable discomfort. Making quick and easy at-home adaptations helps dog’s live happier lives, while enhancing their long-term health and wellbeing.”
