And the winner is... 🥁

June's pet of the month winner is Sally, who has walks with the our Bridgend branch ran by the lovely Emma! 🐶

Sally has been having walks with Bridgend since April 2023. Her owner had another walker previous who left them in the Lurch. But luckily, Bridgend was on hand to take over!

Laura, one of Emma's walkers and pet sitters has said - ’I'd love to vote for Sally, she used to be so shy on walks but now she strides ahead and enjoys meeting the other dogs.🐕

Emma has also added - 'Sally never used to go to the toilet on walks, now she is. She would have to be picked up to go into the car, now she jumps in herself. Many things she's grown more confidence with because we've been calm with her, taken our time introducing dogs suitable to her and working with her owner to make sure she gets the best care.'

Congratulations Sally! Well deserved win. 🤩🐾

Did you know? 💡
Just like humans, dogs can suffer with hay fever too. 🌱🌾
Seasonal allergies in dogs usually present as skin related symptoms but they can get sneezes and watery eyes just like us!

If you notice any of the signs above and suspect your dog may be suffering with hay fever, it’s important to consult with your vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Does your dog suffer with hay fever? 🤧

Much like for humans, hydrotherapy is an effective way to rehabilitate and manage orthopaedic conditions in dogs.

It can also help alleviate many of the common pains and ailments that they experience.

Battersea now have a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy pool right at the heart of their Battersea London centre, with a 6x3m pool, resistance jets and an underwater treadmill.

These facilities mean their dedicated staff are able to support the post-operative rehabilitation and recovery of vulnerable animals and to help further enrich the lives of all the dogs in their care.

The facilities are open to the wider public not just Battersea residents, so just click on the link and find out more about this and other services they provide.

We Love Pets Sutton are always looking for ways to add value to our business and our clients’ lives, hence this information might just be something you were looking for but didn’t realise was available.

The facilities open this Saturday 5th June and sessions are very affordable. Take a look at the link below and have a pawsome day. 😘 ###

We always check the p**p of the dogs we walk. It has helped to identify stomach issues, worms and health in general.

One of my dogs had diarrhoea and when I checked it, there was lots of blood and mucus there too. A visit to the vets confirmed a tummy issue and tbe dog was put on a course of medication.

Another dog had live worms which when we showed a video of the p**p, alerted the client to their dog’s issue. They had already given the dog a worming course, and so this was a simple formality.

So, just 2 of the ways we have helped our clients with the health of their dogs.

Please do check your dog’s p**p, it should always be scooped up from both your garden and the outdoor parks and pavements, to avoid any contamination to your family - or other families.

Thank you.

Do you know what your dog's p**p should look like? Learn more about the natural variations in a dog's poo and when to escalate things to a vet. We discuss colour, consistency, frequency, blood and more.

When looking to take on a dog for a pet, whether a rescue or from a breeder, please look at the long term, not just the short term, which is you being home just now.

Think about things like separation anxiety or hiring a Walker to mix up your dog’s day.

This is a fab segment discussing such issues in this week’s Blue Peter.

(I loved BP as a child and many years later, it’s still a winner in my opinion) 🥰 xx
