After being closed for a little while, I am looking at re opening again 😁 it would only be part time for the next couple of months, with the view of going full time and making this my only job in the new year if I can make it work!

If anyone needs any horse care, relief milking, cat or dog sitting or dog walking please let me know!

I am now based at Kirkby Lonsdale but am still happy to travel to Bentham, ingleton, settle and even Lancaster area now!

Such good news! 😁

We're delighted to announce that the bill to increase maximum sentences for animal cruelty from six months to five years has finally passed through parliament! 🎉 Blue Cross has campaigned for this law, with other animal welfare charities, for many years and we are delighted that progress has happened. This law will now send a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.

A work vehicle can be provided. Pay will cover travel time between dog walks.

As we are now getting busier, we are excited to be able to announce a new service!

Group dog walks 🐕

Groups will be kept small, 2/3 dogs to still give each dog individual attention and are perfect for dogs that enjoy being around other dogs.

Group dog walks come with a 10% discount too. Meaning £4.50 for half an hour. Or £8.20 for for an hour! Often your dog will be out for a lot longer, due to travelling to collect other dogs.

These are subject to availability whilst we get this up and running but I know many of you will be excited about this.

Please be careful and check if your dogs vaccines are up to date! Parvovirus seems to be making its rounds in the local area and could be deadly if your pooch isn’t up to date 💕

*Parvovirus Alert*

Cases of Canine Parvovirus have been confirmed by several veterinary practices across South Cumbria and North Lancashire.

Parvovirus is a horrible, high contagious, viral disease causing severe vomiting and diarrhoea which can be fatal.

All of the cases we have confirmed have been in dogs under 12 months old. They have had different brands of vaccination courses, so we suspect it is not related to a particular vaccine breakdown.

The reason we think we are seeing this is due to two factors:
-The level of virus in the environment is much increasing due to an influx of puppies from all over the country and abroad.
-The effect of MDA (maternally derived antibodies) on a puppies immune response:
When a puppy sucks the first milk (colostrum) from its mother it gets some temporary antibodies which protects it from disease for the first few weeks of life. Unfortunately the level of these antibodies also can affect how well the puppy responds to its first vaccinations. The vaccine manufacturer advises us that there is sufficient level of cover for most puppies when we give the pup its second vaccination at 10 weeks old, which is what we have been advising for many years. A small proportion of puppies will not be sufficiently protected due to high levels of maternally derived antibodies (MDA) from the mothers milk affecting the immune response. In past years, when the level of the virus in the environment was low, these puppies didn’t come across the virus and were then fully protected at their first year booster (when their mothers antibodies had long worn off) but now there is a lot more virus circulating these poor dogs are catching the disease.

We are advising all puppies that have not had their first year booster yet either bring the booster forward (if they are due it in the next 2-3 months) or have a parvo top up vaccination if they are 16 weeks old or older.

If your dog is an ADULT and is up to date with their vaccinations then having a Parvo top up is not going to make any difference to their immune system so a Parvo top up is not recommended.
If your dog is NOT up to date with their vaccinations then we recommend restarting the course ASAP.

For our HEALTHCARE PLAN MEMBERS we are offering a FREE Parvo top up if they are under 12 months old.

For new pups coming to us for their vaccination course we will be recommending a third Parvo vaccination at 16 weeks old for a discounted price of £20, this will also be available for an adult dogs under 12 months old not on the healthcare plan.
