NUMBER OF MISSING DOGS DOUBLES DURING FIREWORKS SEASON
New statistics released today (31 October) by The Kennel Club, ahead of Diwali and Bonfire Night celebrations, show an alarming 120 per cent increase in the number of dogs that go missing during fireworks season.
Missing pet data from Petlog, one of the UK’s largest lost and found pet databases run by The Kennel Club, shows over double the number of dogs were marked as missing by their owners during the weekend of Bonfire Night last year (Friday 4 November – Sunday 6 November), compared to the previous weekend.
Bonfire Night and Diwali celebrations are often accompanied by bright and loud fireworks displays which can frighten and negatively impact the behaviour of the UK’s pets, causing some to escape or run away.
Research from The Kennel Club shows that nationwide, nearly half (48%) of owners say their dog is scared by fireworks, with a third (31%) noticing that their dog shivers and trembles during firework displays, while more than a quarter (26%) mention unusual excessive barking. Further signs of stress spotted by owners include pacing (20%), howling and crying (20%) and excessive panting (18%).
“Loud and bright fireworks displays, especially if they are unexpected, can have harmful and long-term effects, with dozens of dogs going missing every year around this time, and thousands more showing real signs of fear and distress," comments Mark Beazley, Chief Executive at The Kennel Club.
“We’re urging owners to be prepared this fireworks season and know what they can do to help their dogs get through any events safely, and for those involved in displays to be considerate to the nation’s pets.”
To help dogs get through fireworks season as safely and comfortably as possible, The Kennel Club has created a Spotify playlist which can help owners to get their dogs used to the noises. Experts advise owners to start this playlist on a very low volume for a short amount of time and slowly build up to avoid causing your dog any distress - if your dog does start showing signs of distress, stop immediately, and seek help from a qualified trainer or behaviourist.
Of course, owners should also remember that there are multiple elements of fireworks which can trigger fear, from cracks and whistles, followed by bangs, to vibrations, flashing lights and the strong smells in the air. Whilst playing these sounds may help some dogs, it is not the complete remedy, and further advice from The Kennel Club includes:
*Making a safe space for your dog filled with their favourite toys and blankets. You could drape a thick duvet over the top of it to make it more soundproof, but make sure that it's secure and can't fall on to your dog
*Shutting all the doors and windows, and keeping curtains closed to block flashing lights
*Distracting your dog or trying to drown out the sounds by keeping the TV or radio switched on, or a washing machine or tumble drier which gives off vibrations
*Checking where and when displays are being held in your local area. Also ask your neighbours to let you know if they are planning a private display
**Gently acknowledging your dog’s calm and settled behaviour during fireworks
Keeping your dog’s microchip details up to date makes it easier to reunite you with your dog, in case they run away or escape
*Trying to act and behave as normal - your dog will pick up on any unusual behaviour. Remain calm, happy and cheerful as this will send positive signals to your dog
*Think about walking your dog when it’s light during fireworks season, so it’s easier to avoid any nearby displays frightening your dog whilst you’re out
More information and advice on how to make sure dogs are safe and comfortable during fireworks season, as well as the organisation’s policy recommendations to Government, is available via The Kennel Club’s website: thekennelclub.org.uk/fireworks.

Cat-ching criminals with DNA from pet hairs!!! A single dog hair could lead to the conviction of a criminal according to the latest research from the University of Leicester.

Cat hair could be the purr-fect way to catch criminals, according to researchers from the University of Leicester, and the same approach could also be applied to other species - in particular, dogs.”

They have shown that a single cat hair contains DNA which could link a suspect and a crime-scene, or a victim.

Around 26 per cent of UK householders own a cat and with the average feline shedding thousands of hairs annually, it’s inevitable that once you leave, you’ll bear evidence of the furry resident. This is potentially useful in the forensic investigation of criminal activity.

While a human perpetrator may take pains not to leave their own DNA behind, transferred cat hair contains its own DNA that could provide a link between a suspect and a crime-scene, or a victim.

In a paper published in the journal Forensic Science International: Genetics earlier this month, researchers at the University of Leicester describe a sensitive method that can extract maximum DNA information from just one cat hair.

Emily Patterson, the lead author of the study and a Leicester PhD student, said: “Hair shed by your cat lacks the hair root, so it contains very little useable DNA. In practice we can only analyse mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mothers to their offspring, and is shared among maternally related cats.”

This means that hair DNA cannot individually identify a cat, making it essential to maximise information in a forensic test.

However, a new method identified by the researchers enabled them to determine the sequence of the entire mitochondrial DNA, ensuring it is around ten times more discriminating than a previously used technique which looked at only a short fragment.

Dr Jon Wetton, from the University’s Department of Genetics & Genome Biology, co-led the study.

He said: “In a previous murder case we applied the earlier technique but were fortunate that the suspect’s cat had an uncommon mitochondrial variant, as most cat lineages couldn’t be distinguished from each other. But with our new approach virtually every cat has a rare DNA type and so the test will almost certainly be informative if hairs are found.”

The team tested the method in a lost cat case, where DNA from skeletal remains of a missing female cat could be matched with DNA from hair from her surviving male offspring.

Study co-lead, Professor of Genetics, Mark Jobling, added: “In criminal cases where there is no human DNA available to test, pet hair is a valuable source of linking evidence, and our method makes it much more powerful. The same approach could also be applied to other species - in particular, dogs."

New RVC research reveals antibiotics offer no benefit in treating dogs with diarrhoea.

A new VetCompass study from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has revealed that veterinary prescription of antibiotics at first presentation of uncomplicated diarrhoea in dogs causes no difference in clinical resolution of these cases. The study suggests that dogs with uncomplicated diarrhoea do not need antibiotics as part of their veterinary care plans. These findings will help veterinary surgeons provide the best care for their dog patients while also avoiding unnecessary use of antibiotics, and also ensure that owners know what to expect when seeking veterinary advice.

Full story and research finding coming soon to our website features.

Show first for Karnlea Bone Broth
Karnlea Bone Broth is to undertake its first live event when it joins exhibitors at Edition Dog Live – a day-long show focusing on an holistic approach to dog health, wellbeing and nutrition next month.
The UK’s leading manufacturer of ambient pet bone broth will be on Stand Six, at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on 27 August 2023.
It should be the ideal fit for Karnlea which is made from 100 per cent natural ingredients. These include bones from antibiotic and hormone-free beef and lamb, which have been grass-fed and reared on cooperative farms, or free range chickens. Filtered water and a touch of apple cider vinegar is added to the recipe to extract protein, collagen and minerals from the cooking process.
The slow cooked broth is then packed in heat-sealed cartons which allows the contents to be kept on the shelf until needed.
This process ensures the broth contains high levels of nutrients, especially collagen, which is good for coat/skin, bone density and easy to digest. Its ambient form means that nutrients which can be lost in concentrated or powdered collagen supplements, are maintained.
It can be served as a liquid, straight from the carton, chilled for use as a jelly topper, frozen into treats or used in home cooking and bakes.
Karnlea’s founder Lara McCullough said: “We are delighted to be joining Edition Dog Live for our first show. Its focus on natural and holistic products matches our ideas around providing the best possible diet to maintain the health and wellbeing of our dogs.
“Karnlea has been on sale in the UK and Ireland for just over a year now and we have seen enormous growth. Although bone broth is an age-old recipe for supporting our health and aiding recouperation, we have enlightened many pet owners to the benefits of bone broth for the first time.
“Our product range is convenient to use and eliminates the need for slow cooking home made alternatives, meaning no fuss, and no smells.”
Karnlea has also invested in green packaging: its cartons are made with paperboard from sustainable forest materials and its spouts and caps are plastic-free – produced from a sugar cane derivative.
Karnlea’s stand will be located next to the popular canine massage hub – providing owners with the chance to shop while their pooches get a little pampering.
Lara will be in attendance to meet customers and will be sharing ideas and tips on how to use the products.

KENNEL CLUB HOSTS FREE WEBINAR ON CANINE OSTEOSARCOMA

The Kennel Club will be hosting a series of free webinars for owners and breeders who would like to find out more about the complexities of canine cancer, and the impact of future research into the disease.

The first of this series, organised by The Kennel Club’s health team and taking place via Microsoft Teams on Thursday 22 June from 7:00-8:30pm, will focus on osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer that is unfortunately common in larger dogs, and has been is identified as a priority condition through The Kennel Club’s Breed Health and Conservation Plan project.

The webinar will include a presentation from specialist Professor Mark Dunning, who has led various osteosarcoma research projects at the University of Nottingham. Professor Dunning will discuss disease progression, possible treatment options, what research has told us to date, and how owners can best support their dogs affected with the condition. This will be followed by a question and answer session, giving attendees a chance to put forward their queries and experiences for discussion (questions can also be pre-submitted at the time of registration).

Those interested in attending the webinar can register here.

Cancer is sadly a common disease of all dogs; statistics suggest around 1 in 3 dogs develop cancer in their lifetime. Like in humans, there are many different types of cancer resulting in a huge variation in clinical signs observed. Causes of cancer are also largely unknown making prevention extremely difficult, but if owners are aware of possible signs of disease, this can help early detection and with ensuring appropriate care for recovery.

More information about canine cancer can be found at thekennelclub.org.uk/cancer/

So far this year, The Kennel Club’s health-focused webinar series have explored conditions such as canine epilepsy and colour dilution alopecia, as well as the science of DNA testing for health, with experts, researchers, owners and breeders. The webinars aim to raise awareness of various canine health concerns, explore research and future studies, improve diagnosis and outlook, and support dogs affected with the condition, and their owners. Past webinars can be watched on YouTube here.

On Sunday 14th May, inimitably ‘rubbish’ animal portrait artist, Phil Heckels (aka Hercule Van Wolfwinkle) will take on a ‘portrait marathon’, raising funds in his signature style for StreetVet, supporting the charity’s mission to provide free veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing homelessness.
On his 26-mile round coastal trip from Worthing to Brighton - and back again - Hercule will make regular pit stops every mile to bemuse local crowds with a beautifully terrible portrait of their beloved animal companions. Hercule will also be joined for part of his adventure by Jade Statt, co-founder of StreetVet.

Under the alias of Hercule Van Wolfwinkle, Phil began drawing self-proclaimed ‘rubbish’ portraits of people’s pets in 2020, in an attempt to amuse his son while in lockdown. His ‘ultra-realistic’, ‘child-like’ style quickly garnered a loyal following which he has since used to raise money for chosen charities, Turning Tides and StreetVet.

Since their partnership announcement in 2021, those requesting an imperfect portrait of their pet - among them the late Paul O’Grady - are able to choose to donate their commission cost to StreetVet, to support its work in keeping those experiencing homelessness and their pets, healthy and together.

Following previously successful ‘drawathon’ campaign efforts, his latest fatigue-fighting endeavour will push man and pencil to the limit, as Hercule embarks from the bottom of George V Avenue, the western most point of the Worthing promenade, on a 12-14 hour round trip to the ‘Concorde 2’ on Madeira Drive in Brighton - and back again. With an easily accessible route along the coast, Hercule is encouraging supporters to join him on his way and at scheduled stops each mile, where they can watch his unique portrait process in person.

Jade Statt, Clinical Director & Brand Ambassador/Co-Founder, said: “We are so incredibly happy to have Hercule supporting us, his drawings are hilarious and never fail to make us laugh. His fundraising efforts have been of incredible help to us and we love the idea of his portrait marathon”.

Those wanting to support are encouraged to join the marathon even for a mile or a stop, together with their loved four-legged pets, or to donate at fundraising.streetvet.co.uk

Inside our first issue, Physiotherapist, Vicki Youens, asks why can’t physiotherapy be just as beneficial in prehab?
Vicki launched the ‘Strong Dog Programme’ which is a 16 week programme showing owners exercises to help them build and develop their dogs core strength helping to prevent any possible injuries but also aiding in prehab should they need to have an operation for conditions such as Hip dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia or Cruciate Ligament rupture.
Vicki believes that by dogs being as strong as possible we are aiding them with their recovery before they have even had the surgery. The surrounding structures and muscles will be stronger and be able to support any joints, tendons and ligaments affected by the surgery.

Jumping Jack: The popularity of the Jack Russell rises ahead of the Coronation.
The Jack Russell Terrier, famed for being owned by King Charles and Queen Camilla, has experienced a boom in popularity, with The Kennel Club reporting a 40 per cent increase in puppy births this year, ahead of the coronation. The organisation urges would-be owners to spend time researching which dog best suits their lifestyle – the Jack Russell, which is one of 222 breeds recognised by The Kennel Club, is known to be small, active and friendly.

02/05/2023

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) is celebrating 10 years of its life-saving service of extracorporeal therapies for cats and dogs with kidney failure, immune-mediated disease and certain toxicities. The RVC’s Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (QMHA) remains the only place in the UK to offer this specialist service and has so far supported more than 50 dogs and cats.

The QMHA’s service was established in late 2012 with the first treatment taking place in March 2013. This was funded by the RVC’s Animal Care Trust to offer advanced extracorporeal therapies. These pioneering blood purification treatments include dialysis which vitally helps to clear the blood of toxins when the kidneys are failing.

They also offer therapeutic plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) for dogs which is used for some immune-mediated conditions such as immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (destruction of red blood cells), immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (destruction of platelets) and other conditions that relate to substances circulating in the blood. The service provides versatile options for the management of these conditions and can be tailored to the individual patient.

Its first ever patient was Alba, a one-year-old Labrador. Alba had ‘Alabama Rot’ and presented with skin lesions and an acute kidney injury. Based on the similarities between this condition and other conditions amenable to blood purification, Alba was treated with therapeutic plasma exchange. Alba made a good recovery from this condition, especially significant given the grave outcome for many dogs with this disease.

Some of its more recent patients include Marty, a 10-week-old Labrador puppy. Marty presented with a bacterial infection (leptospirosis) causing acute kidney failure, was no longer producing urine and had signs of liver damage. The renal replacement therapy team initiated emergency dialysis for his kidneys. Following a number of cycles, his kidney values had returned to normal function by the time of discharge, and he had reverted back to his usual bright and excitable temperament.

27/04/2023

Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association (BVBA) have launched a Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme for practitioners to ensure that dogs and their owners have a positive experience when visiting clinics.

Many dogs find vet visits stressful, which can result in them being unwilling to enter clinics, being difficult to examine, and worried during treatment. The Dog Friendly Clinic scheme helps practice staff develop dog behaviour knowledge and skills so they can recognise and address early signs of anxiety and improve the welfare of dogs whilst in the clinic. This means improved safety for staff and customers and helps the client-clinic bond.

Through the scheme, created by the UK’s largest dog welfare charity with the BVBA, canine experts provide the tools for clinic staff to learn more about dog behaviour, including how pain and health conditions can be contributing factors to behaviour, and how to reduce the impact of visiting the vet for dogs.

To find out more about the Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme visit www.dogfriendlyclinic.org.uk
