It’s sizzlingly hot 🥵 ☀️

Here are some tips for keeping your dog safe in this hot weather ☀️

☂️ 💦 Make sure your dog has access to shade and plenty of fresh cold water throughout the day.

🎾Don’t throw balls/toys or allow your dog to carry a ball in the heat.

🐾 Walk your dog in the early morning or late into the evening when it’s cooler.

🔥Remember surfaces like concrete, sand and fake grass can get very hot.

🧴If you have a white or pale coloured dog you can use a pet safe sun lotion on exposed parts of their skin to prevent them burning.

🚗 Every year dogs die in hot cars, please don’t leave your dog for ANY time. Even with windows down and water the car will quickly turn into an oven. If you do have to travel with your dog, plan and tweak the journey. Consider travelling at cooler times of the day, identify places to take breaks and avoid busy or congested roads. Make sure there is good ventilation and cold water for the dog.

🥵 When dogs are too hot and are unable to reduce their body temperature by panting, they may develop heatstroke which can be fatal. Heatstroke can affect any type of dog, but certain breeds and types of dogs are at increased risk, including brachycephalic or flat-faced breeds such as English Bulldogs, Boxers, Pugs and French Bulldogs.

❗️Overweight and elderly dogs are also at increased risk.

♨️Symptoms of heatstroke in dogs ….

👅 Panting heavily
💦 Drooling excessively
😴 Appearing lethargic, drowsy or uncoordinated
🤢 Vomiting
❗️Collapsing
💩 Diarrhoea

❗️🚑 ❗️Emergency first aid for dogs with heatstroke …

☂️ Move the dog into a cool shaded area

💨 Place them in the breeze of a fan, or in an air-conditioned room

💧Offer them water

🚿 Start cooling them down by soaking their body with cool (NOT cold or iced) tap water, sponging them under the arm pits, chest and groin will also help

⚠️ DONT ever place a wet towel over them as this can raise their temperature ⚠️

📞 Phone ahead to your Vet to tell them you are on your way, and transport your dog as soon as it is safe to move the dog.

And remember no dog has died from missing a walk 🐾

Sorry people, and 'hairies', a little rant!

Can I just say once again that I don't take late grooms. If you are more than a couple of minutes late in bringing your dog/s to me I can't take the groom - the reason being that I won't get them finished in time for the next dog coming in and they will most likely be on time - it's not fair to them, or me having to rush the groom with your dog to try to make up time.
So - please, please just cancel and re-schedule the appointment if you think you're going to be late.

But, most of you are always on time, so thank you so much.

As always, thanks for your continued support, it's very much appreciated.

Hi everyone.

Just a word about arriving late for your grooming appointment.....

If you are going to be more than five minutes late, please just cancel and re-schedule your appointment.
I can't accept late grooms as I would have to rush the groom, and your dog won't be finished before the next appointment arrives, and they shouldn't have to wait if they've arrived on time.

Thank you to everyone who does get to me on time, I really appreciate this.

Ree

Felt I had to re-share this given the weather we may be having next week. Please get in touch to change your appointment if its too hot to walk your dog to me and you don't have transport. LOOK AFTER YOUR HAIRY BAIRNS EVERYONE!!!

This was posted by a groomer ,, im sharing it for those who think they KNOW better . Keep your dogs off the hot pavements and in doors in this heat. Some humans only think about self " but I want to walk my dog , its a beautiful day"
Your dog things ' please don't take me out and make me walk on fire " .
Having a dog doesn't make it about YOU ITS ABOUT YOUR DOG , WHOM YOU ARE MEANT TO LOVE A CARE FOR . NOW GET GRIP.
KEEP YOUR DOGS SAFE AND AT HOME .

Dear members,
We are experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis following from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with currently more than 6 million people displaced within the country and more than 2 million who are already seeking refuge in other countries. This is forcing families to split or humans to have to decide whether to find refuge or stay with their pets. It is also leaving many orphan pets in need of homes.
9 Lives Scotland cannot look the other way and we want to use our knowledge, experience, and community support to help as much as we can. We feel it is our responsibility to provide options for pets, and their humans, to have the dignified new lives (even if temporary) that every person and animal fleeing war and conflict deserves.
We know that many of our community will not be able to stand to one side and watch this situation unfold. Many families and individuals are unable to take refuge because they would have to leave their pets behind, and many others have already been forced to do so. For many people, who may have lost their families or been forced to separate from them as a result of war, their pets may be one of the few intimate connections they have left.
As many of you know, the UK government recently has declared a scheme to allow people residing in the UK to open their homes to Ukrainian refugees. The new scheme, as much as it is welcome, does not provide a system for identifying Ukrainian refugees in need, or provide support for pets to bring their humans. Humans are currently unable to fly with pets, and there are currently different restrictions and costs involved in pets travelling to have a chance at a new home and new lives than there are for their humans. We want to open a scheme to match pets, or pets and their humans to new homes in Scotland & the UK. If you would be willing to adopt or foster a pet that cannot stay with their human or currently has no home, or to give refuge to a pet and their human so that they do not have to split their family unit, please contact us through the 9 Lives Scotland Page or by phone/message. We will collect this information as we look into the logistics of how to properly identify where the need is more urgent and work out what support we need to provide to make sure that pets and their humans can come to Scotland & the UK, if that is where they want to seek refuge.

Please share this post as widely as possible so we can make sure it reaches those who need it the most.

As always, thanks for helping us help them!

UPDATE - I'm afraid it's going to be another week away from work for me. I am unable to grip, so still can't use my clippers and scissors. I'll update again nearer the end of next week, and hopefully the injury will have healed enough for me to return to work. Missing you all. xx
