Because we love our furkids…

Pets offer comfort and companionship, and they deserve the best in care too.

Keep them safe

Spending long hours at the office but worried about your pet? With the Pan/ Tilt Home Security Wi-Fi Camera from TP Link, you can care for your pet at any time of the day. This ultra-high definition security camera offers live view and even two-way audio. That way, you can hear your furbabies, and soothe them during thunderstorms if you’re not home.

Pets eat healthy too!

Store-bought pet food typically contains additives that could upset your furkids’ stomach. So why not prepare homemade treats? All you need is a dehydrator to have control over the ingredients while also saving money on treats. Make a big batch with the Cornell Food Dehydrator, which offers a capacity of 14 litres.

Clean pad, cheerful pet

Your favourite furball sheds fur daily and can make the home feel uncomfortable. Aside from choosing naturally hairresistant surfaces, invest in Tefal’s TY5516 Air Force 360 Light Handstick Vacuum Cleaner, perfectly suited to pick up animal fur, thanks to its mini turbo brush. At only 1.4kg, you won’t tire of cleaning the house for the sake of the furkids. The cordless vacuum cleaner can also be used as a handheld for easy access into crevices.

Soothe their moods

Like their human companions, pets get edgy and moody too. The Sonos One Wireless Speaker is a compact design that sits snugly on shelves and tables, as well as in corners around the house. Create a playlist of soft music or nature sounds to bring relief to anxious pets. You can control it easily with the Sonos app even when you are not at home.

Pressed to perfection

With its innovative technology and design, the Tefal IXEO+ garment steamer irons, steams and sanitises your clothes and other fabrics effortlessly.

Traditional ironing boards take up a lot of space, and regular irons can burn or scorch your clothes. Tefal’s new multi-functional garment steamer not only eliminates these problems, it sanitises your clothes and other fabric items too.

The IXEO+ Garment Steamer QT1510 removes wrinkles and creases using steam. Its Twin Boiler Technology is a double heating system to ensure efficient steam flow and no dripping. It also features Smart Protect Technology, which ensures the right amount of steam and the perfect soleplate temperature, to prevent ironable fabrics from burns and scorch marks.

Its unique 3-position Smartboard gives you three different ways to press and steam your clothes. Position the board vertically to steam in the usual way, tilt it at a 30º angle for better support when ironing jackets, shirts and tops, or lay the board horizontally for traditional ironing.

The base of the steamer is removable, making it convenient to steam or sanitise fabric curtains, bedlinen and even your fabric-upholstered sofa. The steam kills up to 99.9% of viruses, bacteria and germs. The steam head is twice as light as a regular iron and ergonomically shaped, plus the appliance stores easily and comes with wheels at the base so it’s easy to move around.
