Boris is back for his 2nd play date & making more new friends ❤️

Boris the pup has come for his first play session. He has come up prior to this so it’s not so strange for him, & he was introduced to the dogs 1 by 1 in the safety of the garden so it wasn’t so overwhelming for him.
He has had a play in the paddock off lead with his new friends & is now napping as he’s just a baby 💙

Henry has had his lunch & is now on his quiet time rest.
As a large breed dog with a deep chest, he is at a higher risk of GDV (bloat). This is when the dogs stomach can twist and can be fatal.
To minimise Henry’s risk, we have made sure that an hour before he ate there was no “zoomies” and the dogs were all happily pottering around.
We have also put Henry indoors to eat on his own to avoid him gobbling his food down around the other dogs, & rest for a minimum of an hour afterwards to digest his food.

Have you heard of leptospirosis? 😧

Leptospirosis, often shortened to lepto, is a disease caused by bacteria that damage vital organs, such as the liver and kidneys. It’s very serious and often fatal in dogs.

Dogs can catch leptospirosis from:

- Another infected dog
- Sniffing/licking the ground where an infected dog has urinated
- Urine from an infected cow, pig or rodent
- Infected wet ground or fresh water - lepto can live in wet ground and fresh water for several months

Leptospirosis can also be spread to other dogs by infected dogs, mice, rats and cows but can also be caught from infected water. So, if your dog lives on a farm, kills rodents or spends a lot of time swimming, they’re at a much higher risk of catching it ⚠️

There are a few different types of leptospirosis bacteria and each one is slightly different. Fortunately, we can vaccinate against the types of lepto bacteria commonly found in the UK. Find out more: http://pdsa.me/rwlP

But if a different kind of pet sit today as a swallow decided to swoop into the Happy Hounds summer house. Luckily it was ok, got it wrapped up in a towel & released to fly free again ❤️

By the way, the book that I’m reading is written by one of my regular dogs Auntie 📖 🪱
