🐾✨ Feature Friday: Meet Panda and Maui! ✨🐾

This week's feature is a special double spotlight on two shy yet adorable sisters, Panda and Maui. 🐱🐱

Despite multiple visits, Maui remains an elusive mystery. She is extremely shy and has perfected the art of hiding. Her ability to stay out of sight is so impressive that I've jokingly asked her owner if she really exists!

Panda, on the other hand, is a little braver. She often peeks through the banister to see who's visiting and has even ventured down a few times to say hello before quickly retreating.

During my cat feeding visits, I ensure these lovely girls have fresh food and water, and I take care of their litter trays. Occasionally, I've cleaned up a bit of mess left by the cats, ensuring they remain in a clean and comfortable environment.

Even though they are shy, it's always a joy to make sure they are well taken care of. Here's to more sneak peeks and maybe one day a sighting of the elusive Maui! 🐱🐱🐾💖

🐾✨ Feature Friday: Meet Honey! ✨🐾

This week's feature is the adorable and energetic Honey, a Boston Terrier I've had the pleasure of knowing for years. We used to spend our days together at my previous doggy day-care job, and now I take her on solo walks every week.

Honey's favourite place to roam is through the park. She's always on the lookout for squirrels to chase—she bolts toward them with such determination and watches them scurry up the trees. If she could climb trees, she absolutely would!

Don't be fooled by her small size; Honey is strong and can take my arm by surprise when she gets the urge to run. Despite her squirrel-chasing adventures, she's the sweetest dog, always waiting by the window for my arrival. 💛

Here's to many more walks and squirrel sightings with you, Honey! 🐶🌳

🎇✨ Tip Tuesday: Fireworks Night Safety for Pets! 🐾🐶💚

With fireworks night approaching, let's make sure our furry friends feel safe and secure! Here are some top tips:

1. Create a Safe Space: Set up a cosy den where your pet can retreat to if they feel scared.

2. Stay Inside: Keep your pets indoors to avoid them getting spooked and running away.

3. Distractions: Use background noise like TV or music to help muffle the sound of fireworks.

4. Comfort: Stay close and comfort your pet. Your presence can be very calming.

5. Identification: Make sure your pet's ID tag and microchip details are up-to-date, just in case.

6. Veterinary Advice: If you're concerned about your pet's fear of fireworks, consult your vet for
professional advice and possible solutions.

Keep your pets safe and sound this fireworks night!

Feature Friday: Meet Bailey the Border Terrier!

🐾 Say hello to Bailey! 🐾

Bailey is a spirited one-year-old Border Terrier full of joy and personality. This little guy has a huge heart and an even bigger sense of adventure. From the moment you meet him, you can't help but fall in love with his boundless energy and charming quirks.

Bailey loves running around with his toys—though not for long, as he's quite the little toy destroyer! On our walks, Bailey keeps me on my toes. If he's had enough or wants to go a different way, he'll just sit down and refuse to budge. It's his way of keeping things interesting!

But Bailey isn’t just about play and mischief; he’s also incredibly smart. Within just two days of caring for him, I taught Bailey to use his paw to say "please" for a treat. Clever, right?

He’s a sweet, lovable dog who makes every day a bit brighter. I'm so lucky to have Bailey as part of the Pooch and Whiskers family! 💚🐶🐾

🌿 Foxtail Season 🌿

Foxtails are incredibly dangerous to dogs and, unfortunately, they are absolutely everywhere at the moment. They catch onto your dog's fur, or become inhaled during sniffing/panting, and dig in deeper with movement. These barbed plants then imbed into their system, where they cannot be broken down. This risks swelling, absesses, pain, and, in some cases, death.

It is so important that you take proactive steps during walks, such as:

👉 Keep an eye on pavements for foxtails
👉 Call your dog away when they head to foxtail patches
👉 Leave a space if foxtails are unavoidable and walk elsewhere
👉 Comb over your dog immediately after they walk through foxtails
👉 Double-check your dog again after a walk

It is essential that you remove any foxtails you see on your dog's fur or in their pawpads, and dispose of them safely. Due to their barbed shape, they will not come off on their own. If you are in doubt as to whether you have fully removed a foxtail from your dog, speak with your vet.
