It’s very important to give dogs choice and plenty of space.

Not every dog enjoys being touched by strangers!

Just a little warning for any new puppy/dog owners regarding the Christmas treat many stores are now starting to stock for dogs at Christmas, which are made from awful Rawhide!!!

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog “enjoying” some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white “pure” look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn’t bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin! Please be safe with your dogs! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks to Dee Johnson for letting me share this! 🙌

✨Creating a soothing Bonfire Night for Our Furry Friends! ✨

Henry Particularly finds this night stressful despite being a Gun dog! As the skies light up with fireworks this Bonfire Night, let’s not forget about our beloved pets who may feel a bit anxious during all the noise. 🎆🐾

Did you know that Classical FM has created some soothing playlists specifically for pets? 🎶💖 These calming tunes can help create a serene atmosphere, making the evening more enjoyable for our four-legged companions.

Here are a few tips to keep your pets comfortable this Bonfire Night:

1. Play Classical Music: Turn on some relaxing classical tunes to drown out the fireworks. 🐶🎻
2. Create a Cozy Space: Set up a safe, quiet area for your pets to retreat to when the noise starts. 🏡🌙
3. Stay Close: Your presence can be very reassuring. Cuddle up and enjoy the music together! 🤗❤️
4. Use Calming Aids: Consider calming sprays or treats that can help ease their anxiety. 🌿
