Most people don't know this. And most vets still recommend yearly or three-yearly vaccination 'boosters' for your pets. Most vets don't even know that these vaccinations provide long-lasting immunity. I sure didn't until I'd been in practice for over 10 years, when I found the research.

Yes, a vaccination can injure or kill your pets. AND vaccines are highly effective in the prevention of potentially deadly diseases. Here we have a rock and a hard place. So what to do???

In fact, re-vaccination when your pet does have adequate antibody levels does NOT increase immunity. It doesn't boost anything, because the antibodies in your pet's blood stream grab the vaccine before their body can respond to it. However, the vaccination can still harm or injure your pet.

Rule number one + minimal vaccination for maximum protection. And the only way to do this is to titer test, and only re-vaccinate if antibody levels are low.

🙌 So far, 15,000 of you have written to your MP to tell them to . Thank you so much for your support 💛

Earlier this year, the UK Government promised to ban the use of electronic shock collars in England. This promise is at risk of being broken as they delay on bringing a ban into force.

Shock collars are unnecessary and cruel and we believe there is no place for them in modern dog training. We care for over 14,000 dogs each year and know that positive, reward-based methods are more effective without causing harm to dogs.

Campaign with us and write to your MP to ban shock collars 👉 https://bit.ly/45odQkZ

In a historic moment for animal welfare, we’re welcoming news today that the Government is completely banning the use of remote controlled electric shock collars in England, as of 1 February 2024, following our ten year campaign. To find out more, visit thekennelclub.org.uk/shockcollarsbanned

This year more than ever it seems Crufts is out of touch with the current climate as the rescue world finds itself in the midst of a truly unprecedented rescue crisis. At the very heart of Crufts lies breeding – bringing more dogs into the world, either to extend breed lines, create new designer breeds, or breed dogs for financial gain to fulfil puppy orders (and hope to sell the rest). They champion the elite show dogs they exist to promote and through their platform increase demand for more breed puppies.

It is billed as the world’s greatest dog show, it has a global audience and TV coverage. So what has Crufts done this year to recognise the rescue crisis that is any different to every other year?

Has Crufts used its far reaching platform to talk about the current rescue crisis? Has it tried to educate people about the problem or discourage breeding, even if only for a year or two to help stop dogs dying en masse because that is the reality of what is happening. Or has it in effect celebrated the extraordinary amount of puppies that were produced during lockdown? The main reason for the desperate crisis we find ourselves in now.

There has long been a small rescue contingent to Crufts but this year more than ever they could have made a real impact. All of the breed specific rescues are full to overflowing, all of the more general rescues are full to overflowing. We try to save our spaces for the dogs no one else wants but we are asked to take unwanted breed dogs many times a day now. Just our small rescue which is not even that well known has to say no to 30 dogs every day now – that will be 10,950 dogs in a year. What happens to them?

Healthy dogs die daily while the breeders pump out more dogs. Vets are constantly asked to euthanise dogs that were purchased that the owner no longer wants. The puppies the breeders can’t sell because the bottom has dropped out of the market are now being put into the rescue system. There are dogs living in horrendous kill shelters around the world who are forced to fight for food because there isn’t enough. No-one talks about them.

Having a stall at Crufts would be a captive audience for us to attract new supporters, to fundraise for the new site and spread the word about kennel-free rescue. But it is unthinkable to us to ever associate ourselves with an event that promotes breeding.

How are YOU doing? 2023 is holding a lot of unknowns. Mental health concerns are a major reason for burnout and compassion fatigue in this industry. Knowing where you are helps you better navigate through your life and business.

Now is the time to encourage others. You are not alone!

Captive Animals

This is a term that is used to describe animals that are held by humans and prevented from escaping.

The term usually makes people think of wild animals that are held in confinement such as Zoos.

However, as I sit here looking at my dogs all chilling out on the sofas, it can be easy to forgot that however we dress it up, they are captive.

Whilst many dogs benefit from domestication, easier access to food, safe and warm sleeping areas etc, they also loose many benefits.

Choice is something that many captive animals loose.
When they go out, where they go, when they eat, what they eat, even when they can toilet are just a few of them.

We often feel sorry for free roaming dogs, but SOME of them are the happiest and most contented of dogs because they are simply allowed to be dogs.

In many confined and domesticated dogs however, arousal is rife, dragging to get out, pulling on the lead, hyperactive behaviour, frustrated behaviours and much more are very common.

Now whilst there are other variables and influences nature vs nurture, we must look deep into our relationships and ask ourselves do we allow them to be dogs?

As canine caregivers our responsibility is not to simply walk, feed and take our dogs to the vets when they are poorly, that's a minimum we should offer.

We MUST start to recognise what our dogs truly need, we must understand that whilst captivity offers its benefits, we must work harder to replace the things captivity can take away.

This simplistic view of what dog ownership looks like needs to be challenged more.

Dogs are shaped by thier needs and not ours.

WHEN THEY HAVE TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD!

So firstly, I am definitely not talking about us shouting at our dogs, so don't panic and please do keep reading 🙂

What I am talking about though is our ability to listen and recognise our dogs emotions earlier.

One of the hardest things for people to accept I often find, is when their dog is physically or mentally suffering but aren't shouting about it.

We can often find it tough to accept there might be something underlying with our dogs because they are not barking, snapping, whining, yelping etc.

A dog that's quiet in a crate might be struggling mentally just as much as a dog that barks and whines to get out, they just use different stragies when they are not coping.

The dog that jumps up and down off the sofa and springs around can't be in pain because they wouldn't behave like that right?

Wrong, very wrong.

Adrenaline is a wonderful thing and is designed to help the individual push on through, but the signs of pain will be there, just because they don't shout about it, it doesn't mean the pain isn't real and effecting the dogs body and brain hugely.

Chronic pain especially is a master at whispering rather than shouting because the dog may compensate and try to work around it.

I have painful joints on occasions, I'm not crying and shouting but I am often uncomfortable and can feel more fatigued at times as I work hard to avoid aching even more, your dog does the same.

There are so many little give aways when a dog is struggling mentally and physically and I am not expecting everyone to know how to spot them all, that's where a reputable professional can help.

However, its really important that we don't downplay any little changes we see.

Our dogs shouting might finally get our attention but we can often spot something isn't right well before that, we just need to value the whispers just as much.
