Rivy’s

22/09/2022

With a heavy heart I have to announce that Rivy’s will be closing❗️- whether it may be forever or for just a long while, I’m not sure.

With much thought and deliberation, I have had to make this decision.

With the tough times creeping up on us, I just know & I’ll be honest in saying, my little business won’t survive💔

Plus, I will be returning to work throughout December and will be extending my career path & just simply being a Mammy, so I fear I won’t have the time😞

The re-useable calander orders will still go ahead but unfortunately, after that, our time is up.

I have loved creating yummy treats for all our fury friends but I have to do what’s best and suits us, as a family👨‍👩‍👧🐾.

Thank you all for your support. It has never gone unnoticed. From shares and likes to orders and purchases. It has all been greatly appreciated.

But for now, it’s goodbye🤎

Lots of love, Raeg & Rivy ###

Stay safe fury friends‼️

With adders becoming a more common siting in the UK its important to know what to do if you suspect your dog has been bitten. If left untreated adder bites can cause dehydration, tremors, organ failure and death. If you witness your dog being bitten by an adder you must take them to the vet IMMEDIATELY. If you don't see the incident, symptoms of adder bites in dogs can include:

Two small puncture wounds.
Major swelling that may be dark in colour.
Limping, yelping or other evidence of your dog being in pain.
Blood/bruises.
Inflamed skin – from where the venom has spread.
Fast heartbeat or excessive panting.
Drooling.
Vomiting.

Walking your dog before 9am and after 7pm reduces the risk of your dog encountering an adder as adders are known to enjoy basking in the sun and are more likely to be hidden away in their nests when the sun goes down.

All dogs depending on size and age will react differently to a bite from an adder but it is important to not wait it out at home and seek treatment IMMEDIATELY after the incident from a qualified vet.

HOT WEATHER REMINDERS ☀️🚨‼️

• keep pooch hydrated with lots of water

Unsure of the signs of heat stroke? We have made a small demonstration: please see photo below⬇️.

Don’t forget about all our fury friends in this heat!

PUPSICLES🐾🌈☀️.

Strawberry & Banana flavour.

So this weekend we just had to test out our PUPSICLE recipe & they have turned out so much better than I thought!

To note: we are not sure if we will stick with paw prints or change the look of them but we will most definitely stick with the edible stick - it’s worked so well!

Can’t wait for our pooches to try them🍓🍌❤️.

For now … take care & we’ll see you soon🤎

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

When a toddler keeps grabbing our favourite ornament we put it on a higher shelf.

When we have a baby crawling around we keep bleach out of low cupboards or put locks on the door.

When dogs chew peoples things or eat out of the bin, they are often told off and the ornament and bin stay in the same place so they can just get told off all over again.

When a child cries we comfort them, we may give them an ice cream so they dont find the thunderstorm so scary.

When a dog barks out of fear they often have their lead yanked and are shouted at. If we give them food we are told we are rewarding for bad behaviour. If they cry they are often ignored.

Humans make mistakes on a regular basis and tell themselves it's ok, mistakes happen.

If dogs make mistakes they are often called stupid, bad, naughty.

Humans never behave appropriately and politely 100% of the time.

Dogs are, on the whole, way more polite than people but often get shouted at for not behaving more human.

Humans struggle to change behaviours of their own that they dont like and spend most of there lives seeking ways to manage their emotions and change how they act.

Dogs as a species have way less behaviour issues than humans but dogs are expected to change their behaviour in 1 session with a trainer.

Humans are one of the most aggressive animals on the planet. They manipulate each other, abuse each other and physically hurt each other regularly.

Dogs are way less aggressive than people as a species. You are way more likely to get hurt or killed by another human. Infact it is more likely that a child will get killed by thier own parents than a dog. And yet we muzzle dogs just for the way they look.

No, dogs are not humans and shouldnt be treated as such. But they do feel happiness, sadness, fear, excitement, love, pain. They do think and have a sense of self.

New laws are being looked at in spain to try and change the way we see animals. Spain is often seen to be behind the times in the way they think of animals and sentience. And I agree, these laws are essential in starting to change the way people think.

But I see puppy farms and dogs with awful health issues being bred for the sole purpose of money. I see dogs seen as accessories more than thinking feeling members of the family. I see people putting their material objects way higher up on the list than their dogs welfare. I see people putting hugely high expectations on their dogs and still using punishment to 'teach' them. It is not just one country that needs to reassess the way they look at dogs.

We choose to have dogs in our lives. They do not choose to have us. Relationships are not made in Disney land. They can be hard, frustrating, emotional, and require compromise and sacrifice. But dogs deserve more from the human race than they are being given. They need us to see them as they really are and not how the human ego shapes them.

Questions EVERY dog owner should ask of a prospective trainer -

• Will you physically punish my dog?
• Will you use physical force?
• Will you startle or frighten my dog?
• What will happen to my dog if he gets it wrong?
• What will happen if he gets it right?
• What equipment do you use?
• Is the equipment designed to be aversive?

No professional ethical trainer will mind answering these questions. They will be happy to share with you how they work. If you receive vague answers, or your prospective trainer seems reluctant to answer, that’s a red flag and you should walk away.

Asking these questions will help you make a decision based on all the facts. Don’t assume. Ask. You owe it to your dog.
