Mia & Bailey both had their Emmipet maintenance clean this week. Look at the results in only 15 minutes! ✨ ✨ If your dog has had an Emmipet teeth clean with me before, don’t forget to book them in for regular maintenance cleans to keep on top of the continuous build up of plaque and tartar. Ideally they should have a quick clean every second or third groom. ✨✨✨

I've lost my mobile phone! I've now got a new one but have lost all my contacts, apps, messages ...... everything. I'm trying to reset everything but it could take a few days. If you need to contact me you can text and call me on my old number 07761192836 but I won't know who you are so please let me know.

Here is Bing, one of the many D-Day dogs who were active on the French beaches 80 years ago today.

He has quite a story, so head to https://www.yourdog.co.uk/the-your-dog-blog/the-d-day-dogs/ and read about his remarkable heroism together with all those who fought and remembering those who fell on this poignant anniversary. 🌺🐶

For owners of Doodle breeds that get matted….. What’s the hardest thing about grooming your dog at home inbetween appointments?
1. TIME 🕰️
2. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT 🤷🏻‍♀️
3. MY DOG WON’T SIT STILL 😫
4. MY DOG IS A DRAMA QUEEN 🤪
5. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TOOLS TO USE 🤔
Please answer in the comments 👍
If you are struggling to keep your dog tangle free then keep their coat short and keep them on a regular grooming schedule. It’s the kindest option for your dog. Dematting a dog is very uncomfortable and it makes the whole grooming experience really negative and stressful for them. I won’t attempt to brush out big knots and tangles; I will clipper them out and leave a bald patch or shave the whole dog down for their comfort. Humanity vs vanity. 🐾🥰🐾❤️
In order to make availability for my regulars I’m not taking on any new clients currently. I’m extremely busy so please book ahead on a regular basis to avoid your dog getting matted. 🙏
Thank you for supporting my business. I’m so grateful for such lovely clients and dogs! 🙂🐾

Good news!!

The Kennel Club, one of the UK’s biggest organisations dedicated to dog health and welfare, has welcomed the passing of a new law which will introduce a specific criminal offence for those who steal pets.

Under the Pet Abduction Bill – a Private Member’s Bill sponsored by Anna Firth MP – anyone found guilty of stealing a pet will face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both. The Bill has today (24 May) passed through its final stage in the House of Lords and will become law.

“We’re thrilled that this important Bill – which introduces a new and specific offence to tackle pet theft – will become law,” comments Dr Ed Hayes, Head of Public Affairs at The Kennel Club. “We applaud the hard and persistent work of every organisation and individual who has been raising awareness of this issue and calling for action for many years.

“Currently, the theft of a pet is treated no more seriously than the theft of a mobile phone, despite the utter heartbreak it causes. This new law is desperately needed to ensure that sentencing provisions reflect a dog’s sentience and their role within their family, as well as fully taking into account the emotional harm inflicted on the victims of this crime.”

The Kennel Club has long campaigned on the issue of pet theft, lobbying for sentencing to recognise the emotional value of a dog and for better reporting and recording from officials so that underlying causes of dog theft can be tackled. Its ‘Paw and Order’ campaign, launched after lockdown to urge action, illustrated the need for reform and spurred thousands of dog lovers across the UK to write to their MP. Statistics gathered as part of the campaign revealed the failure to tackle a crime that is devastating nearly 200 families every month, as just two per cent of dog theft cases in 2020 resulted in a criminal charge.
