Some grass seeds can really hurt our dogs. These arrowlike seeds can spear through their skin and bury themselves in our dogs' ears, eyes and paws.

Definitely worth a read 🐾

Not every dog loves to be social and not every dog loves the dog park.

Just like other mammals you have some that love to be social butterflies and others are very selective when it comes to friends.

Izzy for example has a few besties she loves to play with but does not enjoy attending social hour and that is ok.

It is normal to be friend selective. It’s unusual to enjoy and be friendly with every single dog.

My car got broken in to earlier today by the farm at Weston on the green, and a black rucksack bag was stolen from my car, hoping that once they’ve rummaged through it they might dump it somewhere once they realise the items in there will not be of use to them. Please may you keep your eyes peeled if they have lobbed it in to a bush or the side of the road when out walking/driving.
Thanks in advance.

Alabama rot

In the past week we have had a confirmed case of Alabama rot between the Bicester and Thame area.

This disease is relatively new and low risk in this country, but the exact cause is unfortunately unknown. However, it is thought the disease is more commonly contracted in the winter and spring months, potentially correlating to walking in muddy woodland areas.

The clinical symptoms are sudden development of a skin lesion or lesions, commonly found on paws, legs, abdomen, face, muzzles and/or tongue, and generally being unwell (lethargy/inappetence/stiffness/vomiting). The lesions often present circular and look ulcerated with a central 'raw' area, there may also be redness/swelling/bruising around the area, and they are often very painful.

Alabama rot does in some cases cause acute kidney injury leading to kidney failure, however it is important to know that this will not be the case for all dogs.

If you are concerned that your pet is displaying signs of this disease please contact us immediately for further advice.
