🥎Ball throwers!
⁉️They're great right?
🥎 They save you bending down.
🥎 You don't have to pick up and carry wet, slobbery, slimy balls!
🥎 It's the only way you can tire out your energetic pooch!

❓ But at what cost?
🐾 Repeatedly throwing a ball can cause long lasting joint problems, sprains and strains and early onset arthritis.
🐾 Chasing after the ball at full speed then coming to an abrupt stop can tear dew claws and graze the carpal pad (stop pad).
🐾It can also escalate behavioural problems in breeds with obsessive tendencies, such as collies and spaniels.
👮‍♀️We don't wish to be the fun police, playing with toys with your dog builds bonds, the interaction you both have is fun.
❓ Think about other ways of playing with the ball rather than just throwing it constantly? Get your dog to sit & stay whilst you go ahead and hide the ball in the grass / behind a tree. Then send them to go find. Or randomly drop the ball whilst you are walking and send them to go find.
🧠👃 Engaging their brains and allowing them to sniff, mentally tires them out. This can be more beneficial than just physical activity.

❗️APPEAL FOR INFORMATION - UNWELL STRAY DOG FOUND

We’re appealing for your help to find out more about a poorly dog found on a doorstep in Church Village yesterday evening.

A member of the public kindly called us and brought her in to our rescue centre. On arrival, our staff quickly rushed her to the vet. We have called her Kylie, and we believe she is only a few years old.

As you can see from the photos, Kylie is emaciated and weak. She was passing a lot of bloody diarrhoea when she arrived, and this has continued through the night at the vets.

Kylie has been on IV fluids overnight and is being kept comfortable whilst we await the results of blood and faecal samples.

Our vets believe her condition isn't the sole result of not being fed enough food, but may be caused by a medical condition which has sadly gone untreated for a while. The most likely condition is a malabsorption issue, where the body is unable to digest food properly or absorb the vitamins and minerals it needs.

If anyone has any information about how Kylie came to be in this condition, please contact us on 01443 226659. It would also be really beneficial to our vet and Kylie's diagnosis if we knew how long she has been unwell.

It is going to be a long road to recovery for Kylie but both we and our vets will do everything possible to help her. She is the sweetest little lady.

The costs of Kylie's treatment so far is around £750 but it is likely to increase as she needs further treatment.

My most favourite babies Ella and Tippi have had very little interest in their posts. They are a darling pair working hard on next years summer bodies. They may not look their best now but believe me next year they will be unrecognisable. Pls keep sharing their post. That one share could mean the world to them. Sharing one post wont change the world but it may change this pairs world. Follow the link below to see what they need.

We all love the cute wiggling nose, the long fluffy ears and the flop they do when they’re content 🐰💛 However rabbits are far from easy (or cheap) to care for. A study by a rabbit welfare group estimated that as much as 80% of rabbits given as gifts for Easter, end up in rescue centres or sadly die from lack of proper care.

Stick to chocolate at Easter 🍫

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE RABBITS AS EASTER PRESENTS

Did you know your dog's collar and tag is more than a fashion accessory?

It is a legal requirement for all dogs to wear a collar with an ID tag when out in public spaces. For regular houdinis, it may be sensible to leave this on at all times in case of escape.

This ID tag is required to state the name of the owner and address. We would also recommend adding a contact number. This should hopefully allow swift reuniting should someone come across your dog.

All dogs are also legally required to be implanted with a microchip which is registered to a database that contains the owner information. This can be scanned by the local Dog Warden, vet practices and many charities.

Many stray dogs are found each day. Take this opportunity to check your dog's collar, tag and microchip and share this post with those who may not know this information.
