🥵🌞How hot is too hot for a dog walk?🥵🌞

Each dog is different, for example Brachycephalic (flat faced), elderly or young, excitable dogs are more at risk of heat stroke, but the below shows a general rule of thumb in terms of care needed when walking your dog in hot weather.

⚠️Remember, your dog missing a walk or an event is not the end of the world, if it could save their life.

🌾Poor Bella came to see us today after not one but two grass seeds (foxtails) had managed to work their way down into her ear canal!

The owner spotted that something wasn't quite right and her ear was very painful to the touch.

Delicate removal under sedation was required for poor Bella. 💙

☹️ These grass seeds can cause a lot of discomfort to your dog. With their sharp and pointy design, they can bury their way into pretty much anywhere given the opportunity. Most commonly in-between digits of the paws so it's always a good idea to inspect your dogs feet after they have been in grassy areas.

Signs to look out for are excessive head shaking or scratching at the ears and sometimes holding their heads to one side.

UPDATE we are very happy to say owner has been located. For the frenchie handed in.

Polite reminder. It is the law to have your dog/cat microchipped.
It is important because it allows your loved fur baby to be returned to you quicker 😊 we all know how sneaky they can be when not looking. Remember to update your details If you move/change contact details.
