Try hiding balls/toys so your dogs can search for them! Still fun, exciting and rewarding but much more controlled and exercises the brain as well πŸ₯°

Balls and dogs… πŸ₯Ž

Recently at a wedding someone was asking me for some advice for their dog after his recent surgery. He had fractured a bone in his forelimb and they said β€œit happened chasing a ball, if we had known it wasn’t a good thing to do we wouldn’t have done it”.

We hear this so often; everyone we see loves their dog and wants the best for them, but ball throwing and dogs have become synonymous in people’s minds and there is a strong culture for it - it looks so fun, it tires them out quickly and we think it is keeping them fit.

But what is actually happening?

Repeatedly stimulating their prey drive keeps them wired and overstimulated.
Motivated to carry on chasing, they work way past muscle fatigue, and high adrenaline means they won’t be aware of pain at the time.

What is chasing?

Fast uncontrolled acceleration and deceleration; twisting and turning without thinking about their bodies.

What happens to humans who do this in sport in a much more controlled way?

ACL injuries, Achilles ruptures, fractures… no surprise then that this is similar to what we see in our canine clinic.
Help us to help your dogs and spread the word.

We will be following this up with some ideas of fun ball related activities for your dog which aren’t repetitive chasing πŸ™Œ

Apologies for not being very active recently, I'm afraid radio silence will continue for a while as our home was flooded, and we have been in temporary accommodation since Monday 😒

Apologies to those waiting for receipts and reports. My laptop was damaged so it may be a little while before I can get them to you. 🐾

Keep safe everyone! Xx

Sniffing on walks πŸΆπŸ•πŸΎ

This is something great to let your dogs do for various reasons, but have you maybe noticed your older dog doing it more or stopping for longer periods of time? ⌚️

If the answer is yes, they may be telling you that they need to slow down a bit or that they're struggling to keep up, or they can't go as far anymore......
This is our que to listen to our dogs and take note. Being patient and not getting frustrated or dragging them along is really important.

Everyone knows that "little and often" is one of my favourite pieces of advice 😊
It really does help keep older dogs happy and healthy - mentally and physically.

Should I use a ramp or step for my dog? In short, Yes! 🐾😊

Regardless of whether or not your dog has arthritis, a joint issue or has had surgery, using a ramp or steps to get your dog in and out of the car or on and furniture is good practise.

🐢 Dogs with hindlimb issues generally overload their forelimbs and vice versa.

🐢 Jumping up puts extra pressure on hindlimbs and jumping down puts extra pressure on the foreimbs.

🐢 Hindlimbs could slip causing re-injury or damage

🐢 Jumping down puts unnecessary concussive forces through the joints of the forelimbs, this can cause micro damage over time or aggravate arthritic
joints.

Young healthy dogs can benefit from these little things too: preventing early joint damage, helping to delay the onset of arthritis and preparing them for old age when they may not be able to jump anymore πŸ˜ŠπŸΎπŸ€“
