Nail on the head! I wouldn’t like to eat/drink from a dirty glass or plate, so the same should go for our best friends - only the best 🫶🐶🐾

It is advisable to clean your dog's bowl every single day with soapy water.

Residual food can lead to bacterial growth over time, and some of those bacteria, such as listeria and salmonella are potentially harmful, not only to our pets, but also ourselves.

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.

You have another chance to turn your dog into a UK Sniffer Dog!!

😵‍💫 Do you own a dog that is almost bouncing off the walls with energy?
🩹 Or do you own a dog that has a temporary or ongoing issue that requires reduced physical exertion?
🤓 Do you have a witty dog that would enjoy a new and exciting change of training?
🐾Do you have a dog that would benefit from a change of scenery, and would benefit from training neutrally alongside new people and dogs?

If yes, then why not give your dog a super cool hobby and become an official UK Sniffer Dog student! 🐕

This mental stimulation will tire them out far more successfully than physical exercise alone.
Just 15 minutes of sniffing is just as tiring as an hours run!!! 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

In this course, we are looking to promote fun with our furry companions and to provide you with another tool in your toolkit to enrich your dogs life; wherever you are.
This isn’t to produce working dogs.

This class is likely to take place between 9-10am

Useful information from The Kennel Club UK regarding Adders - reminding us of the Do’s & Dont’s

Watch out for adders!

As the weather warms up, these venomous snakes wake up from hibernation. Inquisitive dogs are most at risk, with many being bitten on the face.

Find out what to do if your dog is bitten at thekennelclub.org.uk/adders.

Ticks are tiny spider-like creatures that live in woods, areas with long grass, and sometimes in urban parks and gardens. They're found all over the UK. Ticks do not jump or fly. They attach to the skin of animals or humans that brush past them.

Be sure to check your fur baby, and yourself regularly.

Thanks Kathy, really useful information and great graphic/illustration.
