A lot of people aren’t aware the law stating dogs must be on short lead when walking near a road… 🦮
Please please please avoid using extendable leads near roads! (Most people know I along with a lot of trainers aren’t a fan of them full stop for many reasons!)

DOGS ON LEADS 🐾

There is no blanket law requiring dogs to be kept on a lead in all public spaces. However, there are a series of orders that mean you have to leash your dog in certain places in your local area, for example children’s play areas, sports pitches, roads, parks and beaches.

The Highway Code also says that dogs should be kept on a short lead along roads, pavements and on paths shared with horse riders or cyclists (rule 56).

Many local authorities have introduced Public Spaces Protection Orders over the last couple of years to restrict dogs to being walked on lead (or excluded from the area entirely) in certain public spaces. Look out for signage detailing restrictions. We also recommend checking your local council’s website for details of any restricted areas.

🚨What can happen if I break this law?🚨

Local authorities have the power to introduce these orders under a number of different laws, and can issue fines or fixed penalty notices for those who don’t comply.

Law: Road Traffic Act 1988, section 27; Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014

I had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Honey over the weekend 💖
My friends have adopted her from Dogs Walk This Way Rescue - CIC. She was found as a stray which is hard to believe, she is a super dog! Looking forward to seeing her settle into a life of luxury 🥰

It’s that time of year… please don’t buy cheap rawhide for dogs - It’s dangerous!
Natural chews are amazing!

❗️RAWHIDE❗️

POSSIBLY THE MOST DANGEROUS DOG TREAT ON THE PLANET!

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white “pure” look and remove the rancid smell. Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.

On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.
If that wasn`t bad enough they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away and then dispose in the bin!

Good info here for those struggling to get pups out on walks in this weather..! 🥶

When considering walking your dog in cold weather, there’s a pretty simple rule to live by – if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your dog.

But like humans, every dog is different. Where some dogs seem to be made for snow and wet weather, others can struggle in even the slightest of chills. The vet experts at Joii have given some guidelines to help you decide if you should brave the elements or stay in the warmth.

Just looking at the temperature on the thermometer (or if you’re like us, on your phone’s weather app) isn’t enough, you also need to take into account wind chill, wet conditions (rain or damp ground) and how sunny the day is. If in doubt, keep your walk short or skip it all together if your dog can toilet in the garden instead.
