🌴✨ Back to Work on Monday! ✨🐾

Hi everyone! After a wonderful holiday exploring Thailand, I’m feeling refreshed and ready to jump back into action with all your lovely pets!

I can’t wait to see some familiar furry faces (and feathery ones too 🐕🐾🐓) and catch up with you all. Thank you so much for your patience while I’ve been away—it means the world to me!

See you next week! 💕

🐾 Did You Know Monday! 🐾

Did you know that dachshunds were originally bred in Germany as hunting dogs? 🐕 With strong scent-tracking skills and huge personalities, these little adventurers love games that engage their curiosity! Try hiding treats around the house or garden for a mini treasure hunt that satisfies their tracking instincts and keeps them entertained. 🎉

Did you know that rabbits are happiest when they have plenty of space to explore and play? 🐰 Rabbits are natural foragers, and creating a large enclosure with toys, tunnels, and chewable items enriches their environment and promotes their wellbeing. Adding new hiding spots and toys regularly helps keep your bunny curious, active, and content! 💚

🐾 Did You Know Monday! 🐾

Did you know that hamsters can run up to 5 miles a night in the wild? 🐹💨 That’s why having an enclosure that’s big enough is so important for their health and happiness! 🚶‍♀️🐾

In the UK, the recommended minimum cage size for hamsters is 80cm x 50cm of floor space with a height of at least 40cm. Anything smaller can lead to stress, anxiety, and health issues. 🧠💡

Make sure your hamster’s enclosure has plenty of room for tunnels, toys, and a good wheel—keeping them mentally and physically stimulated is key to their well-being! 🏡✨

🐾 Did You Know Monday! 🐾

Did you know that cats can rotate their ears 180 degrees? 👂🐱 Each ear is controlled by 32 muscles, allowing them to detect the faintest sounds and pinpoint exactly where they’re coming from. 🎯

This incredible hearing helps cats stay alert to their surroundings and is a key part of their hunting instincts. 🐾 Providing toys that stimulate their natural hunting skills—like those with sounds or hidden treats—can keep your kitty happy and mentally sharp! 🧠🐈

🚨🌟 Be Vigilant – Help Us Protect Our Animals 🌟🚨

In the past two weeks, we’ve encountered several heartbreaking cases:

🐾💔 Bambi, a 12-week-old puppy, was found furless and abandoned.
📦💔 Melvyn, less than 8 weeks old, was left in a shoe box.
👜💔 And last night, a puppy was discovered in a carrier bag along the lanes. Despite the best efforts of NCDH team and veterinarians, this poor pup didn’t make it.

We’re asking everyone to please check any bags or boxes you may see left around. If you spot anything suspicious or concerning, reach out to NCDH immediately. We’re here to help, but we can’t do it alone. This is why we need your support more than ever.

💖🙏 If you can donate, please do – every bit helps us give these vulnerable animals a fighting chance. If you can’t donate, please share this post to raise awareness.

🐾 Did You Know Monday! 🐾

Did you know that a dog’s sense of smell is 40 times stronger than ours? 👃🐕 With up to 300 million scent receptors (compared to our 5 million), dogs use their powerful noses to explore the world around them. 🧠🐾

But did you know that engaging a dog’s sense of smell is one of the best ways to keep them mentally stimulated? Sniffing out scents helps reduce boredom, relieve stress, and tire them out just as much as physical exercise! 🐶✨

Next time you’re on a walk, let your dog sniff around and explore—it’s like solving a puzzle for them! Adding sniffing games to their day is a great way to keep them happy and mentally engaged. 💡
