💛Today is International Guide Dog Day!💛 We have a fun story and a special exclusive to report for Guide Dogs Day! This video tells the story about a very special Guide Dog Puppy in Training Jenkins, and how he accidentally became an internet sensation overnight! Jenkins wonderful owner- his puppy rasier, and The Guide Dogs, very kindly gave us permission to share his story with you! 💛International Guide Dog Day takes place on the last Wednesday in April each year, celebrating the incredible contributions of guide dogs in enhancing the independence and quality of life for individuals with visual impairments. 💛This special day honours the hard work, dedication, and companionship of guide dogs, and raises awareness about the important role they play in the lives of their handlers. 💛Guide dogs are highly trained to navigate their handlers safely through various environments, from busy streets to crowded spaces, providing invaluable support and assistance every step of the way. International Guide Dog Day offers an opportunity to recognise and appreciate these extraordinary animals and the organisations that train and support them.

Leo graduated Block 1 of Confidence Clinics at Linlithgow!🤩 ▪️Confidence Clinics are a block of 6 sessions, at Linlithgow these are done with RVN Carena when the practice is closed. ▪️Working on how Leo feels inside the practice, building a bond and trust with him for handling tasks, using veterinary equipment, muzzle training, target work and we worked with Vet Yasmin. Our aim in these sessions was to get Leo's vaccinations done stress-free and help how he feels being handled by the veterinary team for future visits. ▪️Leo has excelled in sessions and has been great fun to work with. Every dog is different so sessions are tailored to the individual dog, working at the dogs pace. Using play and lots of movement - and tricks with Leo which he finds high value so we use these to build on contact, handling and how he feels both in the environment, with Carena and the vet. ▪️For his vaccination we spent time with Vet Yasmin building up confidence with her amd the consult room - you can see the results of this in the video - the slow tail wag turning into a non-stop wagging propeller! ▪️Successful results would not been managed without the dedication of Leo's lovely owner - she has worked hard training between sessions and doing little practice visits between sessions, which has allowed Leo to build a bond with Receptionist Jessica. Westport Vets is proud to be a certified Dog Friendly clinic, using Fear Free methods with our Fear Free certified professional team to achieve results. Stress-free visits are the best kind ♥️ Music Credit and Video Link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeuvvhBd/ #FearFree #DogFriendly #ConfidenceClinics #bekind #workingtogether #linlithgow #southqueensferry #edinburgh #westportvets #westportveterinaryclinic #supportindependentvets

Buster Collars = cone of fame! All dogs will need to wear a Buster collar at some stage or several stages in their life. Getting your dog used to wearing a Buster collar takes the stress away when they actually need one! Often they are needed without warning should your dog sustain an injury or wound. So we have made a wee demo on how this is easily done - taking the stress away from your dog and from owners for future use. Buster collars have many uses! 🔹️They protect surgical wounds from dog licking them - which creates infection and can cause breakdown. 🔹️Not only wounds after neutering but also any wound types for example cut paws or broken nails 🔹️They protect skin issues/irritations/hot spots 🔹️Often used after dental surgery - to prevent dog rubbing face which can damage sutures and cause wound breakdown 🔹️Protect Sore ears from scratching 🔹️Protect Eyes - from rubbing/scratching infections/irritations/treatments ....and more! If your dog has a Buster collar they flatten and store very easily. It's a great item to keep in case you need it! Bear in mind if your dog was young when they got theirs it may no longer be the correct size now but we can help you check this too. Buster collars that ha e been outgrown are not a waste as you can either still use them in your training or clean them and donate to a dog charity 🙂 How to correctly fit a buster collar video link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaoW7cA/ #bekind #workingtogether #linlithgow #southqueensferry #edinburgh #westportvets #westportveterinaryclinic #supportindependentvets Music Credit and Video Link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeaonwpH/

National Westie Day 2024 is today! - 20th March 2024🤍 Let's see those amazing Westies!!! National Westie Day is observed annually on March 20. The date was chosen to honor the memory of Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm, who passed away on that day in 1930. We are celebrating National Westie Day with Linlithgows legendary Westie Jock!♥️ 🤍The 16th Laird of the MacCullum-Malcolm played a prominent role in the development of the West Highland White Terrier. 🤍Originally bred to catch small rodents, today the West Highland White Terrier is known for capturing the hearts of anyone who is devoted to dogs. The breed is so beloved that they are celebrated each year with their own pet holiday: National Westie Day! 🤍Westie Coat Colors: As the breed’s name implies, the West Highland White Terrier has only one coat color. This select shade can be traced back to the 1600s, when Colonel Malcolm of Poltalloch shot and killed his dark-furred terrier, mistaking his four-legged hunting companion for a fox. 🤍Long Live the Westie! Average life span of the West Highland White Terrier ranges from 12 – 16 years. 🤍Before being dubbed the West Highland Terrier, the Westie was known by two other names. As the breed originated thanks to the efforts of Edward Donald Malcolm, the 16th Laird of Poltalloch, the Westie was first called the Poltalloch Terrier. As the Laird declined the honor, Westies were renamed the Roseneath Terrier, after the Duke of Argyll’s estate in Dumbartonshire. 🤍In 1976 a Westie named Dianthus Buttons took home Best in Show honors at Crufts, a feat that would not happen again until Olac Moon Pilot stood at the top of the podium in 1990. Fans of the breed would have to wait until Burneze Geordie Girl in 2016 to see another West Highland White Terrier earn the top title.
