As I visited this sanctuary in 2018 healing the dogs I felt I had to donate. At the point of the fire 🔥 starting they had to release some of the dogs to set them free away from the fire. Can you imagine how scary it is for the poor dogs. PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN. 🙏

Should you feed these popular treats to your dog?

Pedigree make some of the most popular treats in the UK. Unfortunately, their ingredients aren't up to much. Here are my thoughts on why you should give them a miss 👇

- The ingredients list for Gravy Bones and Markies includes a broad range of ingredients and uses umbrella terms, such as cereals, minerals and meat and animal derivatives.
- The percentages of ingredients for Gravy Bones and Markies are missing, so you literally have no idea what they are made of and how much.
- Schmackos are probably the better product of the three, as meat and animal derivatives is the first ingredient used and makes up 40% of the food. Although it's a lower grade meat, at least it is some type of animal product.

Apart from that, there aren't many positives to say. Are there better treats that you feed your dog? Let me know in the comments below.

Connect2yourpet will not take your dog for a walk 1 hour before or after feeding your dog as this allows the stomach to settle.
Bloat is a killer. You literally have 20 mins to take your canine to your emergency vet before it takes hold. Please watch the signs to notice if your dog starts developing the symptoms.

Useful info …….

Although cats tend to tolerate the heat a little better than dogs — after all, they are famous for seeking sunny spots for sunbathes — the reality is that cats can suffer from overheating (hyperthermia) and heatstroke too. Heat-related health problems tend not to be as common in cats, possibly because cats tend not to exercise in hot weather with their humans and spend less time in the car.

Cats are also incredibly smart about keeping themselves cool. Here’s how they keep cool, as well as things you can do to help them beat summer’s heat.

Cats conserve their energy. You may notice your cat “disappearing,” taking longer naps or being less active during really hot weather. That’s because cats (unlike their canine counterparts) know that conserving, rather than exerting, energy during hot weather helps keep their core temperature down so they don’t overheat. Cats will sleep during warmer parts of the day, preferably in a cool area out of direct sunlight, and reserve activities for the cooler parts of the day or evening hours.
Cats seek out cool surfaces. There’s a reason why you’ll find your cat chillin’ on the tile floors of the laundry room, bathroom or kitchen or on the cement floor of your basement. Cats understand that the cooler floors will conduct heat away from their body. They’ll also seek out shaded areas like under the bed or a closet where they can stay out of direct sunlight. So make sure your cat has access to areas of your home with tile floors or rooms that don’t get much sun.
Cats groom themselves more. Because cats can’t sweat like we do, they groom to keep themselves cool. As they groom during hot weather, their saliva evaporates off of their fur, cooling them down just like evaporating sweat cools us.
Cats drink more water. Cats get thirsty when they’re hot, just like us and our dogs. Be sure your kitty always has access to fresh, clean, cool water. You can help keep kitty’s water cool by adding a couple of ice cubes.
Cats benefit from their fur coats. You might think your cat’s fur coat makes them miserable during hot weather, but the reality is that fur has insulating properties that help regulate body temperature.

Polite Notice regarding petsits in August 2023:

ARE YOU BASED IN THE UK and flying out of heathrow on 24/25/26 August? THIS MAY APPLY TO YOU

Heathrow Airport are holding strikes in August - Thursday 24 – Sunday 27 August

"HOW COULD FLIGHTS BE AFFECTED?

Security officers at Heathrow Terminal 5 – where British Airways exclusively operates – will walk out again, and for the first time they will be joined by staff at Terminal 3 after they voted for action last week.

It means that along with BA, flights operated by Virgin, Emirates, Qatar, United, American and Delta will be affected.

According to aviation analytics firm Cirium, more than 20,000 flights carrying up to 4.4 million passengers are scheduled to depart Heathrow across all four working terminals on the strike dates.

Heathrow strikes could see hundreds of summer holiday flights cancelled amid 31 days of walkouts."

Let's hope this gets resolved quickly folks!

'Lean' not podgy as my canine tutor Elizabeth Whiter would say ....

Have you asked yourself, “Is my dog fat?” Being overweight will not only shorten your dog’s life, it can also cause a serious decline in quality of life.
