🐕 I was very excited to see these two beautiful sighthounds for their Animal Health Certificate yesterday! ⛴️

Xylo (on the left) is a Silken Windhound and Sophie (on the right) is a ball crazy lurcher! ❤️

There are only 23 Silken Windhounds in Scotland… maybe 24 soon if I find one to be Pip’s sister! 👀

🐣 Happy Easter! ☀️

I hope you all are enjoying the sunshine and that all of your dogs have stayed away from the chocolate! 🍫

Pip and I spent the day walking up Meall Buidhe with my sister. We then went to Falls of Dochart Inn in Killin where Pip got her very own “doggie dinner”! Would highly recommend (for humans too!)❤️

🐶🎉 I am now a Fear Free© Certified Professional! 🙌🏽👩🏻‍⚕️

Over the past few weeks I have been taking part in the Fear Free© Veterinary Certification Program through my 'normal' vet job at Westport Vets. The program helps veterinarians modify their procedures, handling and facilities to help pets feel safe and comfortable while receiving the medical care they need.

It has equipped me with more techniques to make your dogs vet checks as stress-free as possible (hint: this may involve lots of treats!).

🐕‍🦺❄️January is ‘Walk Your Dog’ month! 🏔️🦮

It’s difficult to get outside with your dog every day with the short days and Scottish weather. It is important to provide your dog with both physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy.

If you are struggling to get outside here are some ideas to try with your dog alongside shorter walks:

1. Scent work - you can try a simple version of this at home by hiding treats around the house. Alternatively, you can find a local class to start training your dog to sniff out particular scents. It really works their brain and tires them out without the need for a big walk, especially those ’sniffy’ breeds like spaniels.
2. Indoor play - you can play with your dog inside with tug toys or you can fill treat balls with their kibble to get them to work for their food.
3. Calming activities - giving your dog a stuffed kong or lickimat is another great way to entertain them. This can be particularly good to relax them after a walk or in the evenings before bed.

If you do go outside be sure to prepare for the weather:

1. If they are a puppy, senior dog or have a thin coat put a jumper on them when it is under 5 degrees celsius (Pip loves her equafleece). This is particularly important if you will be outside for prolonged periods.
2. If you are walking in areas that have salt/grit spread on pavements then rinse off and dry your dog’s paws when you return as it can irritate their skin.
3. Avoid frozen lakes, ponds or rivers. Put your dog on a lead if you are not confident that they will recall from winter dangers.
4. Be careful with anti-freeze - this is very poisonous for both dogs and cats! If they have come into contact with this rinse them off immediately so they don’t lick it and contact your vet.

🐶 Alternative ball sports to try with your dog! 🥎 Like many of you, I have loved watching flyball and agility at Crufts this weekend (the showing ring is a bit more controversial). Although fun for all involved these are high impact dog sports and will cause wear and tear of joints and tendons. My dog, Pip, has a suspected dynamic spinal lesion. This means she sometimes gets nerve pain down her back leg and we have to try to reduce jumping and twisting. Exercise management is crucial for many dogs with chronic joint problems like arthritis or other musculoskeletal pain. Trying more low impact ball games, like shown in this video, can help to keep them doing their favourite things but with less damage. The aim is to: - Minimise sharp turns, jumping and braking which put pressure and strain on joints. - Use their brain to tire them out mentally and not just physically. - Keep them involved in activities they love (if they’re ball mad!). Please discuss with your vet before trying these if your dog has any mobility or musculoskeletal issues as every case is different! #dogsofedinburgh #edinburghvet #mobilevet #independentvet #fearfreevets #doggydaycare #dogdaycare #catch #citidogs_creche #animalhealthcertificate #pettravel #AHC #dogsofeastlothian #dogsofwestlothian #crufts #bintheballlauncher #dogarthritis #cutedogs #dogsport #dogrehab

🐶💆 Head massages are all part of the service with The Daycare Vet 💁🏻‍♀️☺️ Wee Skye is a bit of a worrier but we soon made friends with treats and cuddles! She is still very suspicious of the stethoscope but with my monthly visits we are hoping she will eventually be this relaxed with that too! 🩺 🌟
