Deafness can be a very isolating disability, so a hearing dog offers constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and community around them. This combination of practical assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely life changing.

Deafness is rising in the UK; by 2035, it is estimated that one in five British people (over 15 million) will experience hearing loss. Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity that trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke alarm, alarm clock and even a baby’s cry. Their burgundy coats also act as a visual reminder to the public when they are out and about that their partner is deaf. Donations raised through Pennies when you pay by card help support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Just a small donation can make a big difference!

beforehand goes a long way towards making it a positive experience for everyone.

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them. An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV). Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be harmful. We control their environment, their access to water and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with veterinary treatment, is often fatal. Find out more about Keeping your pet safe in hot weather here

Amazing dog fact number 3
So, not all dogs like water, but the ones that do tend to be pretty good swimmers (but again, not all are so always keep an eye on your dog in case they decide to take a dip out and about).

Newfoundlands are so good in the water that for years they’ve been used as water rescue dogs. In 2016, a brave Newfoundland called Whizz was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit for saving nine people from the sea over his career as a water rescue dog.

Have you ever wondered how guide dogs start their lives before they become the faithful friends to the people they support? Guide dogs give people with sight loss the confidence to get out and about safely and provide life-changing support every single day. In this video, guide dog owners Rhiannon, Karishma and Rowena, share their stories and discuss the eighth step of the journey of a guide dog: living with my guide dog. Ask us in practice about how you can donate to Guide Dogs.

Amazing dog fact number 2.
Some have such good noses they can sniff out medical problems.
Medical detection dogs are a thing. Because their sense of smell is so great, some dogs can be trained to sniff out medical conditions. They are used to diagnose a particular condition or to alert their owners if they need more medication. Some are even being trained to sniff out Covid-19!

One of these incredible dogs is Medical Detection Dog Pal (pictured above), who was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit. Pal played a vital role in diabetic owner Claire’s life by alerting her of changes in her blood sugar. If not caught in time, these changes could have killed her.

Dogs are great – they provide us with love, companionship and are always there when we need them. But did you know there’s far more to dogs than meets the eye? We all know dogs have been ‘man’s best friend’ for thousands of years, but there’s loads more to our four-legged friends which makes them really amazing.

Amazing fact number 1

The area of cells in the brain that detect different smells is around 40 times larger in dogs than humans. This means that your dog can pick up on way more smells than we ever could. This is why dogs are often used to sniff out people, drugs and even money!

Applying eye drops or ointment to your cat:
• Hold your cat firmly but gently - having a
second person to help will make it easier,
or you can try wrapping the cat in a towel
or blanket if they are wriggly.
• Hold your cat’s head in your hands, tilting
the head so the nose is pointing upwards
• Open the eyelids gently on one side with
a thumb and finger
• Place a few drops or a line of ointment
on the surface of the eye (as directed by
your vet)
• Close the eyelids and massage gently to
spread the medication over the whole of
the eye.
