Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

Bees are crucial for our ecosystem, but sometimes our curious pups can get a bit too close. If your dog gets stung by a bee, here's what to do:

1. Stay Calm: Keep your dog relaxed and try not to panic.
2. Remove the Stinger: Gently scrape the stinger out with a flat object like a credit card. Avoid using tweezers as they can squeeze more venom out.
3. Soothe the Area: Apply a cold pack to reduce swelling and discomfort.
4. Watch for Allergic Reactions: Symptoms include excessive swelling, difficulty breathing, or vomiting. If you notice these, contact your vet immediately.
5. Comfort and Monitor: Keep an eye on your dog for any changes in behaviour or health.

Preventive tip: Keep your pup away from flower beds and beehives during walks. 🌼

Our dogs' well-being is our top priority, so let's keep them safe and happy. Enjoy the outdoors responsibly! 🐾

Toilet training is an essential part of any dog’s training and can help you to bond with each other, whether you are bringing home a puppy or an adult dog.

It is important to remember that not all dogs learn at the same rate. The odd accident during the first few months whilst your dog is settling in is completely normal.

It often takes a while before a dog is completely housetrained, especially with older dogs as it can take longer to change their habits.

Here are some dog toilet training tips to help you effectively house train your dog >> https://hubs.ly/Q02wWbns0

FUN FACT FRIDAY: Their sense of smell is so great that some dogs can sniff out people, drugs, money, or even medical problems. For example, they can be trained to detect a change in blood sugar levels, or when someone is going to have a seizure, and alert them.
