Personally I think these things should be illegal in any circumstances.

Dog boarders are warning that their livelihoods are being put at risk by the proposed ban on e-collars.

⚠️ WEATHER WARNING ⚠️

Many parts of the UK are expecting an arctic blast this week, so please take extra care to make sure your outdoor rabbits are protected from the cold 🌨️

❄️ Cover outdoor housing with blankets or tarpaulin to keep the wind and rain out.

❄️ Add more bedding hay or straw for extra insulation to keep the heat in.

❄️ Wrap water bottles in bubble wrap or cover them with a thermal sock or glove to prevent the water from freezing. The metal spout will be very cold and can cause a burns to the mouth. Provide a water bowl too and put a heat pad underneath it to prevent freezing.

❄️ Move rabbit housing into a garage or shed for extra protection.

❄️ As a last resort, you can bring them inside - but remember sudden temperature changes can be distressful to outdoor rabbits so make sure they are kept in a cool room.

Homemade salt dough decorations are pretty but also poisonous!

Due to the high levels of salt needed to make salt dough, ingestion of just one of these homemade decorations is enough to cause serious poisoning

Symptoms range from vomiting, diarrhoea, decreased appetite, lethargy, incoordination, excessive thirst and urination. In severe cases, tremors, seizures, coma and even death is possible

Please avoid putting these around the home if you have pets - especially cheeky ones!

🚨 Calling all dog owners 🚨

In a pawsome trial, we are lifting our dog ban!

We can’t wait to welcome you and your dogs to Carlyon Bay and encourage everyone to do their bit to keep the beach an enjoyable space for all.

So grab your leads, frisbees and poo bags - we’ll see you and your four-legged friends on the beach!

Please NEVER use this or similar methods.

No….

Just no…don’t use this product….I’m working with 3 traumatised dogs who have had this used on them.. 2 are petrified of their owners holding anything in their hands😞

The other dog… well… he just wants to bite to make people go away😬

Be kind, teach your dog the behaviour you like rather than using punishment to correct it

BBQ baddies!

Things like bones, skewers and corn on the cob cause what we call "foreign bodies" - which means items that shouldn't be there and can't be passed!

In less than a couple of days you could be visiting the vet for emergency surgery - sometimes life endangering - wooden skewers can puncture the intestines!

Over indulgence on the fatty foods could lead to gastroenteritis or pancreatitis

If you have any concerns over the Bank Holiday weekend please give the surgery a call - otherwise enjoy the sunshine!

Our four-legged friends nourish us in so many ways - they're not called ‘man’s best friend’ for nothing. 💙

Tomorrow is , a reminder of the importance of keeping our best friends safe and secure. Here are our top tips:

🐾 Mix up your walkies routes
🐾 Be aware of overly curious strangers
🐾 Make sure your garden is secure
🐾 Keep your pup in sight when off the lead
🐾 Make sure they’re microchipped
🐾 Take photos to help others identify them if they get lost
