Strike a pose 💁🏽‍♀️

Tilly, Lexi and Luna were all so good for their nail clip and a**l gland expression. Imagine having to take all 3 dogs to the vets regularly when you can have the treatments in your own home!

It is so important to recognise that many dogs born and bred abroad have free-roaming in their souls, which means the best way to help them is not always to take them away from the street to be pets.

A reputable organisation working to better their lives and welfare will always put as much effort, if not more, into managing and supporting these dogs in the environment they are used to living in, as they do into arranging re-homing to suitable families in other countries

For example, check out this brilliant initiative from Dogs Trust Worldwide in Bosnia and Herzegovina; https://dogstrust.ba/en/

Over the course of a decade, through neutering, veterinary care, education and a focussed fostering program, they reduced the free-roaming dog population by 85% and increased their welfare very significantly.

Controlling the numbers of free roaming dogs is very important.

It reduces their impact on the humans around them, which means they are more likely to be tolerated and treated well, ensures there are enough resources like food and shelter to go around and makes it easier for charities and locals to care for them.

Lowering numbers responsibly happens gradually. Mainly through neutering, and to a smaller extent via fostering, which is why projects with a long term commitment are generally the most successful.

It is also vital to involve and engage the local human population, which this Dogs Trust initiative did brilliantly, educating nearly 400,000 school children, over 475 veterinary professionals and producing over 2500 press releases, media campaigns and events; https://dogstrust.ba/en/achievements-and-statistics

For more information about humane control of dog and cat populations check out the ICAM - the International Companion Animal Management Coalition page and I can highly recommend their YouTube channel, which showcases some phenomenal population management projects from all over the world; https://www.youtube.com/

8 years qualified 🎓📜🐾🩺❣️

And how far I have come, volunteered in South Africa, worked OOH, landed my dream job as neuro team leader in a busy referral hospital, travelled the world and now started my own business.

Sometimes when you’re nearing 30, you get sucked up into the ‘house, marriage, kids’ expectation and can forget how much you truly have achieved outside of the society normal.

So a little reminder that I’m proud of myself ❤️

Introducing Mabel 🐾💅🏼

Mabel had had quite the traumatic experience for her first manicure previously and therefore wasn’t to keen on the clippers, despite this was a very good girl and required little restraint!

Mabel’s quicks were long and therefore her nails couldn’t be trimmed as short as we would like on the first session: but the main goal of her having a positive experience was achieved 🩶 Laura Elizabeth Graham

And a reminder that I cover Stockton, Norton, Billingham areas and more! 📍

Introducing Belle 👸🏼

Missed last weeks Small Sunday, but this weeks is ! 🩵

Jess has been amazing helping me sort out: life insurance, critical illness and income protection cover!

When it comes to these things it’s safe to say I have no idea 😅

Jess made the whole process seamless (even when some new health issues could have made it very confusing!) Couldn’t recommend more, and remember not to leave it too late, you want cover BEFORE any illnesses, not after when they become pre-existing! 🩵

Getting up off nights is easier when it’s to meet lovely clients like Bailey 😍 Bailey Clark

Introducing Dolly 🐶💕

Swipe to see how she really felt about her nail clip and a**l gland appointment 🤣

Introducing Marvel and Storm 😍⛈️🦹🏽‍♀️

Marvel was booked in for a nail trim, however her nails were a nice length, she had just caught one of her front nails and made it bleed from the nail bed: so we went through signs of a nail bed infection to look out for ✨

Storm (the 8 month crazy beautiful FBD) ended up with her sisters nail trim instead to take off the sharp puppy ends and get used to her feet being touched 💕

Lovely to meet the dynamic duo 💕🐾
