Whilst me and the smalls and my dear friend Kim went to legoland for the day, this marvellous soul looked after the dogs on the hottest day of the year. I am so eternally grateful for Daisy helping me with the dogs when I need some support. I’m not very good at asking for help and I find it incredibly hard to find someone I trust enough to care for them as I would - but Daisy is the girl 🥰

Worth reading this and making a note of what to do in the situation of an adder bite!

Today we had a wasp nest situation on a walk (I was ever grateful once again I wasn’t solo and friends could help - I have a crippling irrational fear of wasps and I just freeze!)

Antihistamines and pain relief given and Mavis felt much better.

My advice - run, get away from the wasps nest and out the vicinity so more can’t keep coming. Crush the wasps using a poo bag (another reason to always have them on you!) and then get antihistamines and pain relief on board for your dog.

If you’re worried about them - give your vet a call!

We wanted to share the following information about adder bites following a recent case at Clockhouse Vets. We are incredibly sad to report that this resulted in the death of our patient and our thoughts are with their family at this very difficult time 🩷🌈

There are many areas in and around Stroud that are home to adders. Information about what to look out for and what to do can be found here: https://www.pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advice/adder-bites-in-dogs

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by an adder, please call us on 01453 752555 and select option 1 for our emergency line.

I met a man recently, a really lovely man, who adored his dog, who'd found a trainer and the dog had become a 'good dog'. The dog had also started displaying a whole host of behavioural issues in other areas. Their relationship was broken. The dog's crime that led to it being trained with shock collars and grot collars? It pulled on lead. Sure, it now didn't pull on a lead or wiggle it's bum at passers by - but the dog was so stressed as they didn't have a clue how to control this huge aversive in their life.

Happy Fathers Day!! For some it’s jolly day, for others it can be a source of great sadness. So whatever the day brings for you - may you fill it with dogs and fresh air (because there is never a day when that isn’t the perfect medicine!)

This morning I was asked to talk about pampered pets on BBC Radio Scotland with Stephen Jardine. If you’d like to have a listen the piece starts 2hrs 36minutes into the programme and I am on 5 minutes in to the discussion 🙂

Stephen asks, Should children be welcome anywhere?

Here is a lovely little article by the wonderful Becky Bowden that I contributed on

As season 3 of “And Just Like That” premieres, here are a few of the most iconic pets through “S*x and the City's” run, plus some of their best moments.

I cannot say how much it means to know that you've made a difference to an owner and their dogs lives. It why I love what I do and why i'm passionate about helping people. I do love the collies - they're a real outlier in my opinion compared to other dogs. Nothing quite has the brain of a Border Collie!

Thank you Eleanor for sending me this testimonial and the photos of the beautiful boy!

Have I mentioned I quite like my wee spanner? Zipper also finds her good fun and they play endlessly. Juno on the other hand… she still wonders when she is leaving 😂
