Put your hand out... just let him sniff your hand ❌
She's nervy with anyone new, just crouch down ❌
Oh heck no....
I appreciate approaching a dog is also unique to each individual dog and the situation you are in at the time but please don't approach a dog you do not know with an outstretched hand or crouch down.
There are reasons hands and faces are the most bitten parts on a human.
Crouching down puts you in a position where you are unable to move quickly, and because you don't know this dog (and they do not know you).....you may need to move away very quickly.

A sniff of a hand is NOT permission from a dog to touch them.
It doesn't mean you are now friends and have built trust, it means they sniffed your hand which was thrust right in front of them.

Many dogs will very warily get closer and sniff an outstretched hand then immediately back off if they sense you are suddenly nervous around them, they register your respiration/heart rate has changed (some are aware your adrenaline has risen too).... and they may bite that same hand if they feel threatened enough.

Your hand is in very easy reach for them.
As is your face if you crouch down.....

‼️ FOR THE ATTENTION OF ANY DOG OWNERS THAT GIVE YUMOVE ‼️

This is very important so please read 😣

*Update*- Zac deteriorated further and attended the vets but sadly had to be put to sleep this afternoon 😢💔 he was so incredibly brave and loved by so many 🥺

For the past week our family dog, Zac, has been severely unwell. He’s had constant sickness and diarrhoea, loss of appetite completely and not eaten for days. He was so unwell we took him to the vets to have blood tests and it came back he had Liver Disease 😲 He then deteriorated rapidly and was scheduled to be Put To Sleep 😢

Yesterday we recieved an email from Amazon saying the YuMove tablets had been recalled because they’re counterfeit and hazardous 😡 we worked out zac has had 36 of these tablets and has potentially been poisoned 💔

We are absolutely heartbroken as he was due to be taken to the vets that day to say goodbye 😢 and after finding out the awful truth we can’t believe it has come to this.

He has now been given antibiotics and anti sickness form the vets and has perked up slightly but is still very very poorly 😔

IF YOU GIVE YOUR DOGS YUMOVE, ESPECIALLY FROM AMAZON PLEASE DISCARD STRAIGHT AWAY AS THEYRE HAZARDOUS POTENTIALLY FATAL

⭐️ Even if this doesn’t affect you please share far and wide to make other dogs owners aware 😔

In our case the box was real but the tablets inside were fake, we also noticed the expiration dates didn’t match up on the sleeve compared to what the box said.

If you’re worried about your dog please take them to the vets straight away 😔

If you have lost your dog from home tonight due to fireworks. Please stay at home and keep your door open, your dog should return over night once it goes quiet and calm. Do not go searching and do not chase a lost dog. Chasing a lost dog will make them make bad decisions, which could end horribly. The amount of dogs missing this evening is very scary and some will not make it home. If you’re driving please be extra careful as animals will be bolting all over the roads.
If you find a dog please phone the local dog warden or take to out of hours vets. If you are handing a dog over to someone claiming to be the owner PLEASE GET PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

Dogs escape during fireworks they panic and bolt , they will look for an escape routes to get away from the lights , the smell the horrific noise that come with today's permitted bombs .

Dogs will push past owners whilst at an open external door , jump through windows (sometimes through the glass ) and through cat flaps.

Your garden with the six foot fence is a mere inconvenience, most will scale to escape , they will go through or dig under , a small but safe inconvenience would be to keep your dog on a lead .

Dogs will slip harnesses and collars whil on walks , doesn't matter if it's night or day , double up on the lead and don't think it's just a quick five minutes, you're setting your dog up to fail .

Whilst most pet owners absolutely hate fireworks and accidents do happen it's our responsibility to keep or pets safe .

Please be careful.
