First up, I should apologise for the lack of updates and social activity during September!!! I'm sorry it's been a busy month!!!

September, you really are a month of change... blazing sunshine 🌞 and then days of torrential rain 🌧 and then boom Covid 🦠 thanks to all clients for being understanding with cancelled walks or substitute walkers. A massive shout out to Ben Linnett / for stepping in and taking the lead 🐕‍🦺 (pun intended)!!!

🍁AUTUMN DOG ADVICE - CONKERS🍁

On crisp autumn walks your dog may come across conkers that have fallen from a horse chestnut tree, but these shiny seeds are poisonous to dogs!

WHAT IS A CONKER?
A conker is a shiny, round, red-brown seed from a horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum). Conkers are often found on the ground in autumn after dropping from the tree encased in a green or brown spiky fruit.

HOW MANY DOES A DOG HAVE TO EAT?
The amount of toxin in each conker is different, so it’s impossible to know the amount of conkers that your dog would need to eat to make them unwell

Conkers actually taste quite bitter, so it’s unlikely that most dogs will eat enough to make them very ill. But if enough is eaten it can produce more serious effects, and in rare cases can be deadly.

How your dog is affected by this toxin will also depend on their size, when they last ate, how much they chew up the conker and if they have any other health issues.

OTHER RISKS
Poisoning is not the only risk from these seeds. Conkers are large and hard and could cause your dog to choke on them or could block their stomach or gut.

HOW CAN I PREVENT THIS?
If your dog is prone to eating conkers, then keep them on a lead when going for autumn walks (especially in areas where you know there are conker trees). When walking near ‘conker trees’, bring along a ball or a chew toy to help keep their mouths occupied.

WHEN SHOULD I CALL THE VET?
If your dog has eaten conkers, then you should contact your vet for advice. If you’re unsure whether your dog has eaten them, but they’re showing some of the common signs, then you should speak to your vet. Never try to make your dog sick as this can be dangerous and may cause other problems.

⏰ Reminder to check your dog's equipment.

A dog collar should fit snugly but not be too tight, and it should sit high on the dog's neck, just below the ears.
A dog harness should fit snug, but not too tight. It should be tight enough that your dog can't back out of it.

In the United Kingdom, dogs must wear a collar and tag with the owner's name and address when in public places. The tag can be attached to the collar or be a separate plate or badge. The owner is responsible for keeping the information on the tag up to date.

What is enrichment for a dog? The key to a happy and healthy dog is regular enrichment and allowing them to engage in their innate behaviors, such as playing, chasing, smelling, chewing and scavenging. By allowing your dog to engage in these behaviors, you allow them to be physically, emotionally and mentally satisfied. Here's Gus enjoying his snuffle mat! #dogwalker #dogwalking #dogenrichmentactivities #dogsinhotweather #dogenrichmentideas #dogenrichmenttoys
