As the temperature is set to rise tomorrow, remember to keep your dog cool. Don’t exercise them in the hottest parts of the day, and watch out for signs of heatstroke.

Not doggy related, but 🐎 related.

As most of you will know my daughter is passionate about horses, and currently studying with the hope to have a career in the equine industry. I work to make it possible for her to have her own horse on a 'DIY yard' and follow her dream....and because of my love for 🐕‍🦺's of course!

What is a 'DIY' equestrian facility you may ask? Basically it's a 'do it yourself' livery where the owners do all the duties themselves....turn out, bring in, change rugs, feed, medicate, exercise, muck out stables etc, every day, morning and evening in all weathers! The alternative is to stable a horse in a 'part or fully livery' where owners pay for these services to be partly or fully done for an inclusive price. These facilities are not accessible to many people as they are very expensive. This is why DIY yards are essential to be able to keep this sport/hobby/lifestyle/mental health therapy accessible to a wide variety of people.

AMERHAM DRESSAGE and DIY livery on Fuller Hill is the 3rd 'DIY' (do it yourself) equestrian facility that is under threat of being closed and demolished to make way for 'luxury housing' in a radius of 12 miles!

A lot of these 'diy' facilities have horses who are living out there twilight years with the love and care of their devoted owners. Horses can live a long time, ponies considerably longer 30+ years with loving, caring owners. If these facilities are lost there will be more horses/ponies having to be sold on, or worse be put to sleep if a new home can't be found😪.

Please🙏 help in stopping another facility closing by having your say by the 7th February.

Thank you

Sarah xx

Before ripping open door number one on your advent calendars, it’s important to remember to always keep them out of reach of snooping snouts and prying paws 🐾

Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine, which is perfectly safe for humans, but toxic for dogs, cats and rabbits ⚠️ The seriousness of chocolate poisoning depends on how much chocolate your pet has eaten, how big they are, and the cocoa content of the chocolate 🍫

In severe cases, chocolate toxicity can cause:
• Fast breathing or panting
• Shaking, trembling and tremors
• High temperature (fever)
• Seizures
• A fast heart rate
• High blood pressure

As much as you do to avoid it, we understand that accidents can happen 😟 So if you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate, keep the packaging and call your vet immediately 🧑‍⚕️ Each year our Pet Hospital teams see chocolate poisoning cases, mainly from pets sneakily finding their way to the goods 🍫

If it’s too hot for your hands or bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! 🐾🌡️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for 5 seconds ✋⏱️ If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am - 6pm. Remember, if you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt 🐶

If you’re concerned, here’s what to do if your pet gets burnt: http://pdsa.me/DbSl

Dogs can’t cool themselves down as easily as we can as they’re unable to sweat like us. Instead, they mainly use panting to keep cool. Coupled with their thick fur (which is like wearing an insulated coat!), this can make them prone to overheating. 🌡️ It’s important to do all we can to keep our furry friends cool, to prevent serious illnesses such as heatstroke 🐶☀️

As the hot weather approaches, make sure you're ahead of the game with our top tips on how to keep your dog cool in summer. See the full guide here: http://pdsa.me/D4PQ

Hmmmm… will temperatures soar next week!😎☀️ We will have to wait till Monday to see…. UNFORTUNATELY no rain due just yet… I know the farmers need it and so do the gardens! I’m on the look out.

Winds also look set to switch to a southerly… meaning the cold easterly winds will disappear!

Disclaimer 🤣 take this forecast with a pinch of salt as it’s only Saturday.. Uk weather can switch!

There are a number of breeds/crossbreeds that will require regular trips to the groomer. For some every 6 weeks is haircut day!

We need to make the experience for them as pleasant as possible, some dogs love their salon days, others are not so keen.

To make their experience better start them young! Under 6 months is ideal before their weariness/anxiety kicks in.

Leaving it too long can result in a matted coat. This would make them feel extremely uncomfortable and make the first groom experience a more intense and possibly uncomfortable one. So again, start them young!

By starting them young you can also learn from your groomer how to maintain your dogs coat in between grooms.
