🎄Christmas Safety🎄

🌟With Christmas fast approaching here are some thoughts to consider for a happy and safe festive season for you and your puppy / dog:

🎄Many foods and drinks such as Christmas pudding, cakes, mince pies, chocolate, macadamia nuts and alcohol are toxic or harmful if consumed by pups.

🎄In addition, cooked bones, Christmas tree pine needles, wrapped gifts and tinsel can also pose as hazards potentially causing internal blockages if consumed or injuries to feet.

🎄Ensure any candles that are burning are out of reach and be aware that the sounds of Christmas crackers, additional visitors, noise and changes to routine may all have an effect on your puppy.

🌟What can you do to help provide a happy and safe Christmas?
🐾You can:

🌟Ensure safety and protection from being able to consume toxic or harmful foods, plants, drinks, gifts and decorations
🌟Provide a quiet, undistrubed space away from people and the noise
🌟Supervise interactions with children at all times
🌟Provide food that will not cause an upset stomach
🌟Provide a nice walk or run either on or off lead / longline
🌟Try to keep to your puppies routine as much as possible.

Do you think you could spot a poisonous mushroom before your curious canine? 👀🐕🍄

Autumn is the peak season for many wild mushrooms and other fungi growing in woodland areas, parks and sometimes your own garden 🏡 And while many types of mushrooms are not harmful to dogs at all, there are a select few that can be fatal to them if ingested 😨

It’s important for pet owners to be able to recognise these types of toxic mushrooms. However, these are just a select few of the types of mushrooms that could be dangerous to our furry friends, and it can often be really tricky to identify mushrooms correctly. So, it's best to keep your dog away from them completely if you can ⚠️🚫

Dogs at The Romsey Show on Saturday

We have consulted with our Show vets and the Show would encourage visitors to seriously consider leaving their dogs at home on Saturday due to the predicted temperatures on the day.

We would strongly suggest any dogs that are of the brachycephalic breeds do not attend the Show, due to increased heat stroke risk and not a huge amount of shade available on the showground. We appreciate this does apply to other breeds as well and visitors know their dog. Please do make your dogs health a main priority.

Based on all of this we have made a decision to cancel the family dog show and the scurry competition. Under no circumstances are dogs to be left in cars. Our security team will immediately take action should a dog be found in a vehicle.

We have four vets covering the Show on Saturday and the ability to get exhibiting animals off the site if this is required at any point.

☀️🐾Hot Weather 🐾☀️

☀️We wanted to give a reminder to everyone about hot pavements and your puppies paws!☀️

🐾Pavement / road temperatures can get very hot during hot weather spells and can reach temperatures 40-60 times hotter than the outside air temperature!

🐾You can carry out a simple test to find out how hot the surface is- The 7 Second pavement test rule. If it hurts you to keep either the back of your hand or your bare foot on the road / pavement surface for 7 seconds then it is too hot and not suitable for your dog to walk on!

🐾Remember - we wear shoes to protect our feet but our dogs do not - help protect them from burnt paws by being aware how hot these surfaces can become!

🐾Choose alternative surfaces such as grass areas for your dogs and puppies as they are generally cooler- but do still remember to check the outside weather temperatures. Choosing times of the day when it is much cooler such as very early morning or very late at night will help as pavements should be cooler. However, please do still remember even at these times that if the outside temperature is still too warm to walk your puppies and dogs safely and prevent them suffering heatstroke or burnt paws then give it is a miss!🐾

☀️All of us at Puppy School hope everyone keeps themselves and their puppies cool and safe during this new current hot weather spell this week☀️
