A very good, visual and detailed article, if anyone is debating if the size of their dog is right

Dog World Magazine Article - Body Condition Scoring For Dogs

Wondering if your dog may be under or overweight? Every dog’s ideal weight is different. A body condition score is a tool that you can use in between vet visits to monitor your dog’s weight and help them stay in a healthy range.

What is a body condition score in dogs? A body condition score (BCS) is a number that acts as a measure of a dog’s body fat, roughly similar to body mass index (BMI) in humans. There are two versions of the scale. One scale ranges from one to five. The other ranges from one to nine. Some veterinarians, including the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA), use the nine-point scale. Others use the five-point scale, which can also be converted into nine points using halves of each number (1.5, 2.5, etc.). Veterinarians often use the nine-point scale for small animals, while the five-point scale is more common for large animals.

I love using feeding puzzles like these.

I am always recommending these types of feeders, it uses their daily diet (kibble) and works your dog mentally!

You'll find youreself with a much more engaged and focused dog

👋 Everybody, give a walm welcome to Belle!

🐕 Belle is a rescue dog who is very anxious with everything to do with the outside.

🐾 With lots of hard work, patience, and consistency, Belle is making baby steps, gaining more confidence with each outing.

🐶 She is now able to walk to the park more comfortably and enjoys some fun running around with me!

I can't wait to see what more she can achieve!

Last week, I met up with Lorna from Barks and Bubbles, she is a holistic dog groomer, which means your dog can be comfortable and desensitised to the *not so* scary world of Grooming. I love what she does and together we are supporting clients on the behavioural and the grooming side of things.

I support her because I believe in what she does and with my experience in canine behaviour, can understand how important time and patience can be for dogs around grooming.

Here's a message from Lorna
"Hi I'm Lorna and I run Barks & Bubbles holistic dog grooming in Brewood, where the emotional well-being of your dog takes precedence over aesthetics and perfection.

I believe that every dog deserves to be treated with love, care, and respect in an environment that prioritizes their comfort and happiness.

My mission is to provide a grooming experience that enhances the emotional health of our canine clients. I recognise that a happy dog is a healthy dog, and by focusing on their emotional needs, we create a safe and supportive environment that fosters trust and relaxation.

No two dogs are alike, and neither are their grooming needs. I take the time to get to know each pet, tailoring my services to suit their individual preferences and comfort levels.

This personalized approach not only ensures a low-stress grooming session but also strengthens the bond between pet and groomer."

If you've got a puppy or a dog scared of Grooming, Barks and Bubbles is the place for you and I fully support her 😊

If you're interested, the next time I see you, I can give you one of her cards 😊

👋 Everyone, say hello to Milo!

🐶 Milo is our newest regular member of the pack! He participates in training walks with Hatz Off. We get so much done in our hour together, and then he sleeps it off for hours afterwards!

🐕 As a spaniel, Milo learns very quickly but also needs a lot of mental stimulation. On our walks together, we work on Recall, Loose Lead Walking, Agility, "Find It" games, Retrieving, Tugging, and more!

🐾 A dog shouldn't need more than an hour's walk. If you work on mental as well as physical stimulation, you'll find your dog is much more satisfied!

🌄 I loved the sun setting behind him today!
