This is a similar rule to other Assistance Dogs – always let them focus on work when they’re with their handler.

⚠️FIREWORKS⚠️ 🎆 Fireworks can cause stress, anxiety, and even aggression in pets. The fireworks season can leave some pets traumatised, and in some cases cause sudden death from exhaustion and sudden heart attacks. During this season, here is some ways to make sure your pet can stay safe. 🎆Walk your dog during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off 🎆Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks 🎆Put on some music or tv to mask the firework sounds 🎆Create a quiet space where your dog/cat can feel in control 🎆Create some hiding safe places around your home 🎆Cover outside animals with cage covers to settle them 🐇🐹🐔 🎆Where possible bring those outside animals inside for the night. 🎆Try to keep pet cats indoors 🎆Animals should at least be microchipped in case they escape 🔥You could also try Praising your pet for calm behaviour, and but don’t try to force them out of their desired hiding places if they are safe, You could also try to desensitise them at home by playing firework noises at a low level, rewarding them for calm behaviour, and building gradually up to normal noise level. Some public displays may still be off this year, but we still expect if not more there may still be private fireworks displays at home 🎆 Stay safe everyone! 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!👨👨 🎣⚽️🏈🏉🏃♂️🍖🍺👞👟💈🩳🥃👨 Hope all our Pet father's and Hooman father's have an awesome day! Stay safe and hope for a bit of sun! ☀️ 🐱🐭🐹🐰🐶
Do your pets take their medicines as well as Edie does? 😄
Our little "stray" friend from earlier is now safely back with her owner. Her owner is elderly and thus isolating so nurse Kiri walked her home at the end of the day - with assistance from Fergus and Edie of course! Both Blossom and her owner very happy to be reunited!
It’s amazing how they always know you’re about to come home! Via: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/b1/7c/47/b17c4794aa6bf55ef84e1ac20525b8f2.jpg
