Discover the basics of looking after your first puppy with pet superstore Jollyes York.
There’s nothing more exciting than getting a new puppy – but if you’re a first-time puppy parent you may not know which products to get for your new furry friend among the plethora of what’s available.
YorkMix spoke to Jollyes York’s deputy manager Aquilla Fisher to find out more about what you need to look after your first puppy – with the basics on how to search for food, what toys to get, and what treats to get. Take a look at her suggestions below!
Jollyes opened its new outlet store at Monks Cross Shopping Park in York in September last year.
The award-winning pet superstore are hosting a charity drive this month, where customers can buy and donate a meal at the till for local dog rescues. Simply pop in store to get involved!
