The current laws surrounding the use of fireworks by the general public is woefully inadequate and requires revision and extension. Lack of legislation and virtually non-existent or meaningful power by agencies to tackle Private Firework Displays is causing immeasurable harm to animals and people. A...

Willow is a cross Collie / Dalmatian and she certainly has a lot of the Collie quirky behaviours but one thing we think she has for her Dalmatian genes is she is hard of hearing 🥺 Willow would like to give you some tips on how to deal with a deaf / hard of hearing dog 🥰

Adaptations:
A deaf Dalmatian can live a full and happy life. Owners need to adapt their training, relying on visual cues and hand signals rather than auditory commands.

Safety:
A deaf dog needs to be kept in a safely enclosed yard and on a leash when outside, as they cannot hear hazards like approaching cars or other dangers.

Prevent startling:
Always approach a deaf dog where they can see you, and wake them gently with a light touch to the shoulder or by offering a treat.

Create a routine:
A predictable schedule will help your deaf dog feel secure and reduce anxiety.

Enrich their other senses:
Provide toys and activities that engage their heightened sense of smell and touch, such as puzzle toys and sniff games.

Beeb is all prepared for the stormy weather and has some tips for you to keep everyone safe 💨☔️

1. Monitor the Forecast:
Check the weather to anticipate and prepare for upcoming storms.

2. Secure the Home:
Close windows, doors, curtains, and blinds to keep pets from escaping in a panic and to block out bright lightning.

3. Microchip & ID:
Ensure your pet has up-to-date microchip information and a secure ID tag in case they get lost.

4. Safe Space:
Provide a cosy, covered area, like a draped crate or a cardboard box with blankets, for your pet to retreat to.

5. Distraction:
Offer puzzle feeders, toys, or lick mats filled with treats to keep them occupied and distracted from the storm.

6. Outdoor Pets:
Bring smaller animals like rabbits and guinea pigs inside, and ensure livestock have access to dry, safe shelter or are moved to high ground

7. Stay Close:
Keep your dog on a lead if they must go outside and stay close to home, avoiding walks during the storm.
