Yesterday I said a fond farewell to the lovely Holly. I’ve been grooming her for 9 years every six weeks and apart from Covid she’s never missed a single appointment. Her family are emigrating to Australia and she’s going with them flying out next week. Have the best life lovely girl, I’ll certainly miss seeing you 🇦🇺🦘🌏

⚠ Alabama Rot - confirmed case ⚠

Unfortunately we have seen a confirmed case of Alabama Rot, also known as CRGV, this time in the Cleobury Mortimer area. An additional case is suspected but not yet confirmed.

While there is no need for panic, we're advising dog owners to be vigilant and to contact their vet if their dog develops unexplained skin lesions, particularly on the legs or paws.

We don't yet know what causes CRGV and it remains a very rare disease. Most cases occur between November and May and there is some evidence of a link to walking in wet, muddy woodland areas. It may be beneficial to wash and dry your dog after a muddy walk. Current advice is that there is no need to avoid walking in certain areas.

Signs to look for:

▪️ Skin sores not caused by a known injury, particularly on the legs or paws
▪️ Swollen skin
▪️ Redness

Signs that may be seen if kidney problems develop:

▪️ Vomiting
▪️ Changes in behaviour such as fatigue or lack of appetite

Are your working dogs ready for winter?

Unlike our ruminant livestock, dogs don’t have the in-built furnace of the rumen to keep warm in the colder months. In ‘the wild’, the pack would spend the night sleeping in the pile for warmth. In contrast, we mostly house dogs singly in outdoor kennels.

A NZ study found that the vast majority (86%) of kennels were uninsulated, and less than half (44%) of kennels had any form of bedding. This is compounded as working dogs are so lean – they carry little insulation or padding; 16% of dogs were found to have obvious pressure sores. Furthermore, the breeds we use often have smooth and short coats.

Related studies using activity monitors have shown that cold kennelled dogs spend less time resting – and far more time shivering or moving around to keep warm. The lack of rest not only impairs their recovery and increases feed requirement.

The ideal temperature is between 10-26˚C – obviously kennels in Northumberland will dip below this range in the winter, so you can:
• Provide bedding for warmth and comfort
• Provide a coat for extra insulation
• Insulate kennels – what better job for all those low value fleeces?

Sometimes all you need is time, patience, kindness and trust! He is a Romanian Rescue who is not only nervous but also limited vision making life even more challenging! When his owner contacted me to groom him last year she said the last time he’d been done he’d been sent home wet as they were unable to do anything with him and couldn’t get him dry. Over the last 18 months we have taken our time building his trust slowly with each grooming session. Today we reached a milestone, his owner had to go out and so gave me a key to the house. I went in, he recognised me and happily trotted to the van. He had a full groom with bath, blow dry and a tidy up trim and lots of treats! He was so happy and really is a very special dog that just needed to know he could trust me 🥰

Today I met the sweetest and most gentle cavalier. She had been rescued by Many Tears Animal Rescue from an awful life of puppy farming, breeding litter after litter of puppies with no concern for her health or welfare 😢 She is now in the most wonderful home and receives unconditional love 🥰 For a dog that spent most of her life with no care or kind words she really is such a loving little dog xx

First ever bath and trim for this young little cockapoo, such a good girl. It is so important to introduce your dogs to grooming at a young age to get them used to it 🛁🫧✂️🐩🐾

It’s not just the bride that gets her hair done for the wedding 💒 he’s all bathed, dried and trimmed ready for the big day tomorrow 🥰

Gorgeous cockapoo ❤️🥰🐾

This was a little different for me, helped a friend out with these two gorgeous rescue Ragdoll cats with a bath and brush out. They were absolutely lovely but think I’ll stick to dogs! 🥰 Rosie’s Pet Sitting Leominster
