Some really great advice from our fantastic sister company, The Pet Academy, with regards to pets and fireworks 🐾

🎆 FIREWORKS 🎆⁠
⁠
Here are a few points on how to help with your pets and their phobias to loud noises..... ⁠
⁠
- The sooner the phobia's are addressed ⁠the easier it is to control, it may be beneficial to have a chat to a behaviourists or to a vet about what you can do.⁠
⁠
- An anti-anxiety supplement or a diffuser that can be plugged in may also be a good thing to try. You can also get collars that will release the same pheromones and so wherever you are, they are getting the benefit of the anti-anxiety pheromone.⁠
⁠
- The other things you can think about doing at home would be to create a safe place for your pet. This is important to do a few weeks prior to any firework displays etc. if your pet likes a particular place in the house, try to make it more comfortable and safe place with blanket and toys etc.⁠

📸🍁☀️ Great Outdoors Photography Challenge 🌧❄️📸

Alongside our Friends For Pets Bridgwater team, we are starting a Great Outdoors Photography Challenge - Our aim is to bring a little bit of the outdoors to everyone who is unable to get outside on a daily basis (for any reason) during this second round of lockdown.

We not only hope to give you an insight into what we do, but we want to share with you some of the beautiful sights we see whilst out and about. Not all of the photos are from the same day, or even the same season, but they are our own photos and we hope that they will bring you a daily dose of beauty from the great outdoors.

If you would like to join in, please feel free to post your own photos in the comments section of our posts 📸🥰

We hope everyone is keeping themselves safe out there. Make sure you give those furry friends a nice big snuggle 🥰 🐾💕⁣

We just wanted to reassure all of our clients that following from the Prime Minister’s announcement at the weekend we will still be operating throughout the upcoming lockdown. Our teams over in Wales have been doing a fantastic job still operating during their fire break lockdown as well.

Since the previous lockdown all of our pet carers have been working covid compliant following our new policy of procedures to ensure the highest standard of safety and hygiene is in place. We are always keeping ourselves up to date with all of the latest guidance from the CFSG (canine and feline sector group). ⁣
⁣
Please do check out our Corona virus information page on our website or feel free to get in touch if you have any questions at all. ⁣

And last but not least we wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your continued support throughout this very tough time. We cannot explain how much we appreciate it! ⁣

Loads of love ⁣
