🦟🐶 Tick Prevention & Removal Tips for Your Dog 🐾

Ticks are most active during the warmer months, particularly spring and summer, but they can be active all year round when temperatures are above freezing. Ticks aren’t just annoying, they can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis.

Here’s how to protect your dog and what to do if you spot a tick!

✅ Preventing Ticks on Your Dog

• Use vet-approved preventatives:
Monthly tick preventatives (topical, oral, or collars) are your dog’s first line of defense. Ask your vet what’s best for your pup.
• Check after walks:
After hikes, walks in tall grass, or in wooded areas, check your dog thoroughly, especially around the ears, neck, underarms, between toes, and under the collar.
• Keep grass short:
Ticks love long grass and dense brush. Keep your garden tidy and consider tick-repelling landscaping.
• Avoid high-risk areas:
Stick to trails when walking in tick-prone areas. Avoid letting your dog roam through dense undergrowth.

🛑 If You Find a Tick: How to Remove It Safely

• Use fine-tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool. (Shown on second slide)
• Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
• Pull upwards with steady, even pressure. (Shown on second slide)
• Don’t twist or suddenly pull, the goal is to remove the entire tick without breaking off the head.
• Clean the area - Use antiseptic or soap and water on your dog’s skin, and wash your hands.
• Save the tick (Optional).
Place it in a plastic bag or container in case your vet wants to test it. If not, crush it in a tissue so it can’t move on.
• Watch for symptoms - Over the next few weeks, look out for signs of illness like lethargy, loss of appetite, or joint swelling. Call your vet if anything seems off.

Protecting your dog from ticks is one of the easiest ways to keep them happy and healthy all year round! 🐾

Meet Jimmy and Freeway! 🇷🇴🩷

Both Jimmy and Freeway are Romanian rescues! Jimmy can be reactive to other dogs while Freeway can be unsure and nervous of people. I’ll be doing solo walks with Jimmy to start with, working on distracting him from other dogs and pop ins for Freeway while he gets comfortable with me until we can ease into some walks😊🦮

☀️When it’s too hot to walk your dog safely, you can still keep them mentally and physically stimulated indoors or in cooler environments. Here are some fun and enriching things to do with your dog during hot weather:

🧠 Mental Stimulation Activities

• Puzzle Toys and Food Dispensers
Keep their brain engaged with treat-dispensing toys like Kongs, snuffle mats, or puzzle feeders.
• Hide-and-Seek
Hide treats or toys around the house and encourage your dog to find them. If they know how to wait, you can also hide and call them to come find you!
• Training Sessions
Teach or reinforce basic commands or tricks. Just 10 minutes of training can mentally tire a dog.
• The Towel Knot
Roll treats up in a towel or blanket and tie in a knot. Let your dog untie and sniff them out.
• Shell Game
Hide a treat under one of three cups and shuffle them around. Let your dog guess where the treat is.
• Treat Bottle
Grab an old plastic bottle and put some kibble in. Let your dog try and figure out how to get them out. To make it harder, you could tie the bottle so it’s hanging and even more difficult to get the treats out of.

💦 Cool-Down Activities

• Splash Time
If you have a garden and your dog likes water, fill a kiddie/dog pool and let your dog cool off.
• Frozen Treats
Freeze treats, peanut butter, or fruit in ice cube trays or use a Kong. Great enrichment and helps them cool down as well as taking them quite a long time!
• Cool Mat or Damp Towels
Set up a cool area with a cooling mat or frozen water bottles wrapped in a towel. Alternatively, dog cooling jackets are now available online too!

🧼 Chill, Productive Time

• Grooming Session
Brush your dog, check their ears and nails, and make it a relaxing bonding time.
• Bath Time!
If your dog is okay with water, give them a nice cooling bath and get them nice and clean. Towel them off and leave them to dry naturally, this will help cool them down.
• Massage or Dog Yoga (Doga)
Gentle massage can be soothing and help older or anxious dogs relax.

STAY COOL! 🧊

📣 NEW FEATURES ALERT! 🐶✨🧡

🐾 Introducing: The Bark Board! 🐾
Because there’s always more to learn (and bark about)!

I’ll explore helpful, fun, and important dog-related topics to support you and your canine companion on your journey together. From training tips and seasonal health advice to enrichment ideas and behavior insights, this feature will be all about sharing value-packed info in a quick, easy-to-digest way (as best I can)📚.

🐾 Introducing: Dog of the Month! 🐾
(Starting at the end of this month)

Each month I will be selecting one of my furry friends to be ‘Dog of the month🐶’ and my reasons as to why they’ve been chosen! Every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and story and I believe that deserves to be celebrated! I think this will be a fun way to spotlight one of my amazing canine clients each month. Whether it’s for being extra friendly, showing progress on walks, or just making me smile, each selected pup will get a special shoutout on my social media😆.

💕Time to reintroduce myself!💕

(Sorry it’s a long one!)

My name is Lily Rawson. I’m 21 and have grown up around lots of animals and have been lucky enough to have owned a fair few species from stick insects and lizards to dogs and (loaned) horses. Currently I only have my family dog, Molly!

I have been riding since I was 3 and was lucky enough to share my first pony at 11. I have shared lots of ponies and horses from that point onwards, improving and doing some competitions.

In 2011, my family fostered a brood bitch Hearing Dog, Molly, who proceeded to have 3 litters of lovely cocker spaniel puppies. Although I was young, I remember all of it and treasure the experience of raising puppies from birth to 8 weeks old. Later on, I also helped the Hearing Dogs charity by training junior dogs in their first stages of training, specifically for the dogs to be paired with children.

After finishing my GCSE’s I decided to go to BCA to study Level 3 Animal Management. This was a 2 year course that enhanced my knowledge greatly. This included subjects like dog behaviour, law, welfare, anatomy and science. I finished at BCA in 2022 graduating with a triple distinction.

With this diploma, I wanted to help animals in any way I could and continue with my love for them. I started at RSPCA and worked with some really heartbreaking cases experiencing lots of highs and lows. Helping these animals find their love for humans again and finding their forever homes filled me with joy.

Amidst all of this, I managed to fit in some work experience in various places like The Goat Centre, Kew Little Pigs, Bruce’s Doggy Daycare and ZSL Whipsnade zoo, gaining extra practical experience with a huge variety of species!

I then created Lily’s Complete Canines to continue with the intention of helping animals (and their owners this time!). Whether that was giving them enriching walks or simply popping in to say hello. Seeing all the dogs getting so excited when I walk through the door is definitely one of the best parts of this job!

I look forward to continuing with all your pets, it has been such a great first year already and I can’t wait to see where this year goes!

Lily :)
