Who doesn't love peanut butter?
It can make a tasty treat for your dog.But beware some peanut butters are sweetened with Xylitol an artificial sweetener which is toxic to dogs.Peanut butter should be as natural as possible , no sweeteners, sugar or salt added.
Instead of reading all the labels in the supermarket buy Dog friendly products.

Dogs can enjoy healthy treats in a variety of fresh fruit & vegetables.
Try a piece of apple ( remove seeds & core)
A few Blueberries or a strawberry
A piece of banana
Sweet potato cooked or butternut squash
Green beans
Let's make life interesting and give them healthy, vitamin enriched food.
Please remember when introducing anything new, to give small amounts of a new food, as not to upset the stomach.

JUST A REMINDER, TO ALL DOG OWNERS.

⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the UK die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.
