POOCHES DON’T LIKE SMOOCHES!
Should we be hugging and kissing our dogs because it shows our dogs just how much we love them?
After all it’s how we as people show our love, affection and provide comfort to one another.
But dogs are not people and we can’t just assume that they enjoy this or understand what we are trying to communicate.

You may say 'But my dog enjoys being hugged and kissed!'
Yes, there may be some dogs that do, or some dogs that have learnt over time to tolerate this invasion of their personal space because they have learnt there is no escape. They are trapped, confined, immobilised and helpless.

The majority of pictures of people hugging or kissing dogs clearly show many signs of stressed body language.

It’s so important to be aware of how our dogs are feeling by learning basic body language. It’s the way our dogs communicate and we owe it to them to understand their language.

Respect a dog’s personal space. Provide a choice. Seek consent. This is what builds relationship and trust.

FB Memories reminded me that 3 years ago I did something I had always wanted to do. Design and commission an infographic from Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin 🥰🥰

Please note if your dog is going to stay in boarding kennels - their Kennel Cough vaccine needs to be done 4 weeks before their stay so please plan ahead 😊

Thank You.

☎️When you call us, there is some important information that can help us assess the risk and provide accurate advice☎️

❗ When?
❗ What?
❗ How much?
❗ Your pet's age and weight

If your pet has not been weighed recently, it is worth getting this done and keeping a record. Your pet's vaccination record is a good place to keep a note of weight each year.
Remember if your pet is exposed to a potentially harmful agent, keep all the packaging/product details. Seek prompt advice- the Animal PoisonLine is here 24 hours a day to take your call - 01202 509000.

If your pet is displaying signs of collapse, significant pain, haemorrhage, seizures, breathing difficulty or is unconscious you should contact your vet immediately. If necessary your vet can then call us on our dedicated VPIS professional line to discuss treatment.
