Bailey took himself off to have some alone time yesterday during his group walk.

Don't you just love how terriers interact with toys?

Could your dog be a blood donor? 🤔

💉We are looking for dog blood donors! 💉

Did you know, dogs also have blood types too? 😱

However, they only come in 2 types, negative and positive. Unlike humans who can have type A, B or O.

We currently need negative blood donors who are healthy, between the ages of 1-8 years old and over 25KG in weight.

These are the breeds that are most likely to be negative:

Airedale
American bulldog
Basset hound
Bearded/border collie
Boxer
Doberman
English bull terrier
Flat coat retriever
German shepherd
Greyhound
Lurcher
Saluki
Old English sheep dog
Weimaraner

Dogs with negative blood are universal donors! Could your dog save a life?🥹
We kindly ask that if you have these breeds, or know anyone that does, that matches our criteria then please call us for more information so we can determine if your dog could be one of our hero's. Feel free to ask for Lauren, one of our wonderful RVN's who acts as our blood bank coordinator around here! 😍

We've seen some incredible results in practice following blood transfusions for very unwell animals. For some of us, our pets are our world, please help give us the opportunity to give them a chance 💙💚

Willow totally smashed her first hydrotherapy session today 🐾💦

She was unsure to start with but she kept it together and got in fine.

It took her a while to realise that it was a swimming session and not a 'glorified bath time', but once she understood she started to warm up and enjoy herself.

We're looking forward to our next sessions, I'm sure we will be struggling to get her out of the pool rather than in it soon enough 😂

Thank you so much to The Haven Hydrotherapy Clinic for the photo and for helping Willow with her recovery.

⭐ Willow Update ⭐

We've had many of you asking how Willow is getting on, and the answer is... Fantastically!

We have been following her rehabilitation plan to the letter and Willow has been an absolute superstar throughout the entire process.

We are currently building up the tolerance she has on her leg by taking her on 3 steady lead walks per day, with endurance increments of 5 minutes per day.

Today, her time allowance enabled her to complete one of our usual 'quick loop' walks for the first time since her injury. She was very happy about this!

We look forward to her next vet check which is due in the next fortnight, as we can then plan her next stages of recovery 😀🐾

What a beautiful morning to be at our paddocks, enjoying the start of a wonderful day!

We get a gorgeous cool breeze at our paddocks, the morning grass is always full of dew and there is plenty of shade to keep the dogs cool. We also have a dog pool that we will bring out for when it's starting to get on the warmer side.

As some of you already know, Willow sustained an injury whilst having a canter about the paddock last Thursday.

She completely ruptured her cruciate ligament and has this week undergone x-rays and surgery to correct it. We agreed to her having the best method of surgical correction on offer to give her the highest chance of a full recovery and the best quality of life.

Sadly, this means that she will be off duty for at least the next 6 months and possibly fully retired, depending on how successful her recovery is (her vet is positive for a full recovery, thankfully).

You'll be glad to know that she is in good spirits and is being a very good patient.

Fortunately, Sunny has come on leaps and bounds in her social training and will be taking on all of Willow's work in the meantime. Sunny is now in full time employment!

Invoice issues

Hi all, we are currently having issues sending out our invoices for June, due to technology issues out of our control.

We will try to get our software sorted ASAP, but they may be further delayed.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Kind regards

✨🎉It's Willow's birthday today! 🎉✨

Willow has helped so many dogs to become better versions of themselves since we've been operating. She works hard for us, so deserves some birthday attention.

She will be spoiled throughout the day and will partake in her favourite walk this evening (swimming in the stream).

We learnt that the beautiful Lidi passed away over last weekend. She was a lovely soul and will be missed by us. She was an elderly rescue who lived her golden years with her devoted owners in Lynton.

Rest in peace girly 🐾🕊️
