Hapoy New Year everyone especially to all our amazing owners who have been so loyal, supportive and hard working x

Pets4Dogs will be going silent from midnight tomorrow till 8am New Year’s Day to show a mark of respect to all the unnecessary lives cut so short by this XL Bully Ban

When toasting a glass or few on New Year’s Eve please just give a minute to remember those poor XL Bullies that won’t be alive to bring in the new year!

From Sunday, owners will have to keep their dogs on leads and muzzle them in public.

This is an interesting read! This report was produced by the RSPCA in 2016 25 years after the dangerous dog act 1991 legislation came into force banning 4 different breeds of dogs! The RSPCA prepared this report Legislation-A Dogs Dinner as evidence calling for the government to start an inquiry! Back then the RSPCA said the law should look at dogs "on an individual case-by-case basis - irrespective of their breed or type".

The law has proved controversial.

The RSPCA believes the increase in the number of dog bites demonstrates the law has failed.

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, whose report Dog Bites: What's breed got to do with it? labelled it a "poorly thought-out, knee-jerk piece of legislation that pays no regard to the consequences".
Battersea dogs home and many other dog rescue charities have to deal with the consequences when dogs are sentenced to be put to sleep on the grounds of their appearance, rather than anything they have actually done or any aggression. Again this was back in 2016!

Read the story! 32 years on and things still haven’t changed!

Things need to change, the government needs to change its ways everything is not just black and white! They need to start listening to the public and to the charities that are on the frontline dealing with these issues on a daily basis x

DOG owners have been issued an urgent warning to stop their pets from getting sick. Some pooches have been getting into strife while on walks, prompting an alert from vets to keep pets safe while o…

Ten top tips to prevent from dog theft:

Keep pups on the lead

Dogs love nothing more than a bit of freedom out on a walk, but owners eager to avoid harm's way should keep their dog on the lead to stop them from wondering too far. With no one around, anyone could capture a free-roaming dog.

Practice recall

If owners would rather not keep their dogs on the lead and like letting them engage freely with their new surroundings, teaching them to be highly responsive to recall is vital. Dogs with poor recall are more likely to get lost and targeted by criminals.

Secure home and garden

Unfortunately, many dogs are stolen from their homes and gardens, so pet owners should consider improving their home security where possible with CCTV cameras, burglar alarms, motion sensor lighting and joining the local neighbourhood watch scheme.

Gardens are a prime spot to target, so ensure they have locks and fences that people can’t jump or fit through. Even fitting a bell to the gate, pebble stones around the entrance and additional lights are helpful to alert owners to any potential intruders.

Microchip pooch and keep it updated

If a dog is found after being stolen, pet organisations can read the registration information stored on their microchip to tie registration back to the owner. If a dog is resold and an unsuspecting new owner takes it to the vet for a check, they can be reunited. For microchipping to work, information must be updated in the microchip registry. Immediately update contact information such as a phone number and addresses if it changes so the owner and pet can be reunited should they be stolen.

Be wary of social media

Be careful of oversharing location tags and your favourite spots for walks on social media channels, especially live posting, it could make you and your pet more vulnerable.

Invest in a GPS Tracker collar

GPS dog trackers allow dog owners to monitor their pooches' location constantly. As long as the tracker remains attached, they can be located in real-time if they escape, are stolen or run off on a walk.

Don’t leave pups alone in public.

Aside from the danger of overheating in the car, leaving dogs in the car is also tempting for thieves. They can quickly smash the window and steal lone pups. Similarly, leaving a pet unattended outside a shop is just as risky.

Vary walks

Dognappers can target people they see going on the same walks regularly, so make sure to alternate routes in case suspicious strangers are watching. Be extra cautious of overly friendly people who ask lots of questions about your dog.

Stick to open spaces

Sticking to open spaces and walking with a friend is highly recommended for dog walkers because it’s safer, and owners can see all around them. Try and avoid areas such as forests and woodlands with less visibility, it’s also more likely that dogs could get lost.

Take photos

Be sure to take pictures of your dog from all angles to help identify them, should worse come to worst you may need proof to get them back from rescuers and even photos with yourself and the dog, to help confirm ownership.
