Do you know the signs of bloat?

Bloat, also known as gastric torsion, and also as gastric dilation volvulus (GDV) syndrome, is a life-threatening disorder that happens when a dog's stomach fills with gas and becomes twisted. Knowing the signs could save your dogs life.

It's been a tough few months losing our beautiful Missy Moo back in October, especially today not having her cheeky little self around opening presents and waiting for Christmas Dinner leftovers but we will keep those memories close to our hearts. Still we have Missy’s Mates and that will live on in her legacy. We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for your love and support. Give your babies a big kiss from us x

Dogs can get stressed and anxious when faced with situations that aren’t part of their normal daily routine, which is why Christmas time may be stressful for our furry friends 🎄🎅

Our dogs tend to tell us how they are feeling through their body language. Kendal Shepherd’s ladder of communication can help owners spot the early warning signs they might see before their dog growls or snaps, but it's important to remember dogs may not always display more subtle signs of stress if these have failed to work in the past 😱

We’ve finally got our Missy moo home back where she belongs. It was such a beautiful evening so we took her for one last walk around her favourite field with her ball and watched the sun go down ☀️ Run free Missy moo 🌈 💔 Mummies love you more than you’ll ever know.

We are beyond devastated and heartbroken as today we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Missy Moo! 🤎💔 She was 9 years young and still had a lot more to give. She had been suffering with seizures since March but they took hold of her yesterday and there was no bringing her out of them. Her little body had fought hard and had fought enough and there wasn’t anything more that the vets could do. We knew it was time to let her go and run free from this horrible disease.

She wasn’t just loved by us but by so many others and she made such an impact on so many other peoples lives too. She really was a special little dog and one in a million and we will miss her more than she will ever know.

Run free our Missy Moo 🌈
We’ll always be the three musketeers!
Mummies love you so so much and thank you for being our moo and for having such an impact on our lives 💔

Missy’s Mates will carry on in her legacy!
