Watch out there’s a thief about!

Over the last month we have noticed things going missing. Mainly empty harness cards with no harnesses.

Stacked shelves and then a missing item we know we haven’t sold.

So with a heavy heart we now have CCTV fitted by Daventry Aerials & CCTV - Digital TV, Wi-Fi Networks, Security Solutions. We have a monitor so we can watch the shop when at the till. We can rewind and check when things go missing.

We will report to police with CCTV footage. Hopefully CCTV will stop the thefts.

It upsets me that people are stealing from an independent business. What really hurts is if customers are struggling for any reason, I would and have helped. If it is long term and you cannot afford to feed your pet, I know of rescues that would gladly help. No need to steal from Tilly’s.

I do think these thieves are professional as they are taking mainly high end items.

So with a heavy heart we now have CCTV.

As a positive it is also a good thing for staff and customer safety.

I’m told most businesses have CCTV. So Tilly’s is keeping up with everyone else.

If any of our Tilly’s family need help, we will try to help or find someone that can. No one needs to steal pet food. We are here if you need support.

Thought I would just keep you all updated.

Thank you all for your support and understanding.

Now it is November
Trees are nearly bare
Red , green and brown leaves
Scattered everywhere

Dark now , are the mornings
Cold and frosty too
Damp and misty evenings
Chill is through and through

Busy are all Creatures
Winter food to hide
Nest to make all cosy
Warm and safe inside .

Hopefully last night of Fireworks tonight !

If you have purchased any YuMove products from Amazon please check as they could be fake. Check that the batch number on the box match the batch numbers on the blister packs . Paula bought some last week from Amazon and they are fake but not from the supplier that Amazon have listed. Please be careful as a dog has already died. We sell YuMove at Tilly’s pet supplies that are purchased through our reputable wholesaler. They are cheaper on Amazon but you don’t know what you will be receiving . If we don’t stock the item you would like please ask as we can order them in for you.

Sales on Facebook !

Also be mindful if sold on Facebook. These are not who you think they are . You really don’t know what you giving your pets .

If it is too good to be true it usually is .

Sadness us at Tillys this is being done to pets . Especially the senior supplements .

Some information taken from Kennel Club that you might find useful during Halloween .

Halloween poses a number of health and welfare risks to dogs, from eating foods that can be toxic to man's best friend, such as chocolate and some sweets, to being scared by trick or treaters and children in costumes.

Chocolate

Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine, which can be poisonous to dogs, as well as other animals such as cats, rodents and rabbits. Generally speaking, the darker and more expensive the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains, and the more poisonous it is. White chocolate contains very little theobromine and so is unlikely to cause chocolate poisoning. White chocolate is still very fatty and can cause problems with a dog's pancreas known as pancreatitis.

If large enough amounts are eaten, Chocolate can initially make your dog sick or give them a stomach upset. Theobromine is a stimulant and can cause your dog to become excitable, develop muscle twitching, tremors, fitting and life-threatening problems with their heart.

Find out more about chocolate poisoning.
Sweets

If available in large quantities, some dogs may gorge themselves on sugary sweets kept aside for, or collected by, trick or treaters. After eating lots of sugar, or even lots of fat, dogs can develop pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas), which may cause them to be off their food, be sick, have an upset stomach, become tired or go into organ failure.
Sugar-free sweets

Some sugar-free sweets and chewing gums contain an artificial sweetener called xylitol, which can be very poisonous to dogs. Xylitol is more commonly found in food products in America, but is beginning to appear in sugar-free products in the UK as well. Xylitol can cause an otherwise healthy dog's blood sugar level to drop to dangerous levels and can also cause liver failure.
Choking risks

If eaten, sweet wrappers, lollipop sticks, food containers/boxes, or even small parts from Halloween costumes or decorations can all cause a blockage in your dog's throat, stomach or gut. This can be very dangerous and may require surgery. Signs of a blockage can include your dog being off their food, being sick, tiredness or finding it difficult to poo.
Carved pumpkins

Keep all candles and candlelit carved pumpkins out of the way of waggy tails and nosy noses. A knocked over candle may cause your dog to become burnt, or could start a house fire. Place any lit items on surfaces that are not likely to reached or jolted by your dog.

If using small battery operated lights inside your pumpkin, remember that if these are chewed the batteries inside them could be harmful to dogs.
Trick or treaters

Frequent calls at the door from costumed trick or treaters may make your dog anxious or stressed. Think about how your dog is when you usually have visitors at the door, and take extra precautions to keep your dog calm and in a quiet and safe place throughout the evening. Masks and costumes can cause even the most familiar people to look and smell different to a dog, so if going out trick or treating, you may wish to leave your dog at home.

Tips for keeping your dog safe at Halloween

Taking a few simple precautions can ensure that Halloween is a happy and healthy time for dogs:

Keep chocolate out of reach of dogs
Hide the sweets or keep them out of paws reach
Be careful of lit pumpkins and never leave your dog unattended with a lit candle, even when it is inside a pumpkin
If using battery lights in your pumpkins make sure your dog doesn't chew them
Be careful around of trick or treaters. Take extra care to ensure your dog is kept calm and happy. For advice on how to keep your dog safe in unfamiliar situations, contact a Kennel Club accredited instructor who are experts in dog behaviour and training
Be aware of choking hazards
Always have the number of your dog's vet to hand - If your dog has eaten chocolate, lots of sweets or items which may block its airway, contact your vet immediately for advice. They will need to know what was eaten, when and how much. If your dog eats something they shouldn't, do not attempt to make them sick unless your vet advises this, as this could cause further problems
Consider walking your dog at a different time - If your dog is usually walked in the early evening, consider changing the time of the walk on Halloween to make it a bit earlier or a bit later to avoid the rush of trick or treaters, who may scare your dog or cause unnecessary stress. Also be aware that fireworks are available before Halloween and loud bangs and sudden bright lights may spook your dog
Take extra care around children - On Halloween, your dog is likely to come into contact with lots of children - probably more than usual - so it is important that you are aware of your dog's reaction to children and can prepare accordingly. Equally it is important to be prepared for children wanting to touch your dog, which can cause extra stress, particularly if the children are in costume and excitable
What to do if your dog has eaten something it shouldn't

Consult your local veterinary practice immediately
It is important that your veterinary practice makes an informed decision as to whether your dog needs to be clinically assessed or treated. Where possible ensure that you tell them:
what your dog has eaten
how much has been eaten
when it was eaten .

Happy Halloween from all at Tillys
