⁉️Can you help? ⁉️

Just like humans, dogs can require blood transfusions. Every unit of blood helps to save up to four lives.

We need donors to come forward for the following session to help keep our supplies topped up 🙏

🗓 Thursday 16 January
📍 Pet Blood Bank, Loughborough

If you can attend, please book an appointment using our app or give us a call on 01509 232 222.

Together, we can continue ensuring we have blood available for every dog that needs it this winter ❄️

Every donation makes a huge difference! ❤️ We look forward to seeing you there 🐶

I appreciate your understanding and patience during this special time.

I went to visit Gio and his owners for his 3rd 1-2-1 session. In the sessions we worked on strategies to help with mouthing and nipping, increasing engagement, loose lead walking, recall and many more 🐶🐾

🐶❗️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.

🐕👶🏼 Preparing my dog for baby arrival 🐕👶🏼

Introducing “fake baby” with baby equipment

Practice putting the fake baby in and out of the equipment, interact with fake baby while it’s in the equipment. Reinforce your dog for disengagement and for calm behaviours around it.

The practice is more important than what you practice with.

You can use a doll, a small pillow, a pineapple or bottle wrapped in a baby blanket.

What really matters is practice the behaviours you will do when it’s a real baby.

If you would like support with preparing your dog for the arrival of a new baby please get in touch! 🐶😀

The holy grail of longevity foods, protecting your dog like a suit of armour.🫐

Blueberries are an awesome source of prebiotic fiber and are chock-full of polyphenols. Studies have found that blueberries delay the aging process by promoting the repair of DNA strands.🧬 Diets supplemented with this blue antioxidant powerhouse can potentially sustain the body’s antioxidant levels and protect against oxidative damage💥, making them one of our top recommendations you can share from your refrigerator!

We use a lot of frozen blueberries as training treats, when fresh blueberries aren’t in season. But be forewarned: more than one blueberry for every two pounds of body weight a day (i.e., five blueberries for a ten-pound dog) can lead to completely benign dark blue p**p, so feed a few, then move on to other Longevity Foods, found in The Forever Dog LIFE, as healthy rewards.
