🐶❗️Today is National Change a Pet's Life Day - a day to raise awareness of animal rescue centres and encourage people to support a centre or adopt a dog.❗️🐶

However, if you are not in position to support or adopt a dog, you could think about making a positive change for your own dog.

You could:
🔹work on training to strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
🔹learn a new hobby to do with your dog, such as Parkour, Scentwork or agility.
🔹add new enrichment activities into your dog's routine.
🔹explore new dog walking locations.
🔹improve your dog's diet.

Ever wondered what the world smells like to your dog? This stunning image captures the colorful chaos of scent trails left in the snow—something your dog detects and deciphers with incredible precision.

Each colored footprint represents a unique trail, left by people and animals walking through the area. While these overlapping tracks might seem chaotic to us, your dog can differentiate between each individual scent. They can tell who walked by, how recently, and even details like their emotional state or if they were carrying something interesting (like food!).

Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors in their noses, compared to our 5 million, and a dedicated part of their brain analyzes smells, allowing them to "see" a world of scents invisible to us. Think of these trails as chapters in a book that your dog reads with their nose—fascinating stories of who’s been there, where they went, and what they were doing.

Next time your dog stops to sniff on a walk, remember they’re processing a rich sensory landscape like this one. Letting them follow a scent trail isn’t just fun—it’s a vital way for them to engage with their environment, exercise their brain, and satisfy their natural instincts.

Let your dog’s nose lead the way—it’s their superpower, and this image is a wonderful reminder of just how extraordinary it is!

I appreciate your understanding and patience during this special time.

🐶❗️Today is National Check the Chip Day❗️🐶 - a day to encourage owners to check that their dog’s microchip details are up to date.

❓Did you know?❓
It's a legal requirement to have any dog over the age of eight weeks microchipped and to keep your details up to date.

Puppies from breeders or dogs that have been rehomed are usually already microchipped and registered to who/where you got the dog from, and if this is the case, you should be provided with microchip details when you obtain the dog. It’s vital you update the details to be your own by contacting the company the microchip is registered with.
Then, if you move house or change your phone number you will also need to update the microchip details again.

An up-to-date microchip gives your dog a better chance of being returned to you if they get lost or stolen. Collars and tags can get lost or be removed but a microchip is permanent!

If you’re not sure which company your microchip is registered with, you can check here https://www.check-a-chip.co.uk. To do this you will need the microchip number which you may be able to find on documents such as your pet insurance, Kennel Club registration or your vets database.

Alternatively, if you can’t find your microchip number you will need to ask a vet, dog warden or rescue centre to scan your dog and provide you with the number.

You can find out more about the legal requirements for microchipping here https://www.gov.uk/get-your-dog-microchipped #:~:text=You%20can%20check%20the%20microchip,a%20dog%20warden.
