With Valentine's Day just a few days away, you might be starting to think about a present for your special person 💐

Flowers are a lovely way to say 'I love you' but please remember that not all flowers are pet-friendly. And if you've got a pet who is partial to pinching things they shouldn't now and again, you need to be extra cautious of what flowers you're bringing into your home ⚠️

Here is our list of flowers which are poisonous to our pets. Please share to help us spread the word!

As it is Valentine's Day, here are the dog related photos from our wedding from a few months ago. The photos took a while to get! We managed to involve our angel dog Archie, he was on the bouquet.

My client asked me to share this, it was her dog who has been poisoned. Her dog is very unwell but recovering.

DOG WALKERS: Please keep your dogs on leads in Buxted Park and surrounding View Woods. There have now been three reported cases of dogs poisened by eating human faeces containing drugs thought to be cannabis and ketamine. We walked all over the area on the map yesterday... Our dog is now recovering on a drip after a very scary night at the vets. The police are aware of this. Please use crime reference 827 25/01/25 to report any concerns and share this information locally.
