Just DOG'S

11/01/2025

If you’re heading out in this cold and icy weather along paths and roads that have been gritted, please be aware that salt and de-icing chemicals can be harmful to your dog's paws. Many de-icing products contain chemicals that can burn or irritate your dog's paws, and they can even be toxic if ingested. So, when you get home and before you sit down with your warming cup of tea, it’s a good idea to wash your dog's paws to rinse off any potentially harmful substances. It's a small but essential step to protect your dog from the harsh chemicals that can linger on surfaces long after the snow has melted.

Must Read!

We received notification from Amazon this week that some YuMove supplement they sold us through a third party seller some time ago is counterfeit and possibly harmful to dogs.

Both of our elderly dogs have been extremely poorly recently. Jonny in particular needed to be hospitalised for treatment and it was touch-and go for a while. To help treat his diarrhoea we’d previously given him Protexin Pro-Kolin, a probiotic paste, bought from Amazon. To add insult to injury, I’ve just heard that Amazon and eBay have been selling a counterfeit version of that, too. Both manufacturers are keen to point out that they did NOT produce the counterfeit batches.

I cannot say with certainty that the products caused the illness in our dogs, but it seems very likely to me. I’m angry Amazon don’t appear to have systems in place to prevent the potential for this. Personally I won’t be trusting them to provide supplements and similar for our dogs in future, instead I’ll go direct to the manufacturers.

If you have recently ordered any of these from Amazon (and/or eBay in the case of Pro-Kolin) please check the advice in the following links. All the info you need is there. If you’re worried about your dogs health, see a vet. (N.B. I’m not a vet and I can’t give advice on this). Please help spread the word to fellow dog lovers.

Here’s a link to the Protexin Veterinary - Pro-Kolin press release: 👇

On a brighter note, I thought you’d like to know Jonny pulled through and has made a remarkable recovery. He’s back thinking he’s still a puppy (at nearly 16)! Tish (17 years old), who was less severely affected, is also firing on all cylinders again. I’m very grateful for that.

Finally, and I don’t usually do this, a huge shout-out to our vets Taylor Vets for giving Jonny in particular the very best care, as always. Thank you, you’re wonderful people.

Take care everyone!
