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. 🤩🐾

Do you know how to spot the signs of stress in your dog? 🤔

If you’re around dogs, it’s important to know what signs they may display when they’re stressed. Not only is this beneficial to your dog’s wellbeing but it can also prevent accidents and injuries, increase safety, prevent behavioural problems and increase your bond.

Here’s 6 common signs of stress in dogs:
🐾 Excessive Yawning
🐾 Barking or Growling
🐾 Licking Lips
🐾 A Downwards Tail
🐾 Ears Pinned Back
🐾 Panting

Are there any that you weren’t aware of?

Our pet of the month winner for May is... 🥁

The lovely Basil who has walks with Elkie, owner of the Portsmouth branch.

They have been looking after Basil since he was four month old. He enjoys his walks with the branch and loves nothing more than a ball and swimming! 🏊‍♀️

He has been doing a lot of training and has recently qualified as an autism therapy dog! He goes to work a couple of days a week with his mum and they have the pleasure of looking after him the rest of the week.

'We are so proud of him and he is doing an amazing job! 🤩' - Elkie

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? 🤧

With the weather having finally shifted a little towards the warmer weather, I thought it time to show you all this......
This is the tool we use at We Love Pets to guide us and our staff to keep your dogs safe during the hotter weather.
On the hotter days, we carry water and offer your dogs water en route.
We monitor each dog's tolerance to that day's heat and if there's any sign of intolerance to the heat, we take them home.
On the hot days we visit them and interact in the garden and ensure shade and water is easily available. We often bring their friends, so socialisation and play continues.
We also offer earlier walks on the hot days.
Puppies, brachycephalic, super-hairy and older dogs are especially watched closely.
I hope that reassures you that we have your dogs' care in the heat covered!
Remember, even on a cloudy day, please don't leave a dog in a car as, even when it's not that warm to you outside of the car, inside, to your dog, that heat and lack of oxygen can be a killer.
Ok, let's enjoy that sunshine! Woohoo! 😎🐾 🌞

Hello, we’re Tasha & Andy from We Love Pets Bury St Edmunds.

We are a local professional team of pet care providers, with decades of experience and expertise in many areas. We are trained, qualified, insured, DBS checked and West Suffolk Council licensed (boarding).

We have a wide range of pet related services and cover a large area of West Suffolk: approx. 10 miles either side of Bury St Edmunds and then the villages + Sudbury, south to, and over, the North Essex border.

We Love Pets Bury St Edmunds – services:

- Dog walking: - For our adult dog walks, we offer non-pack walks of a maximum of 3-4 dogs or solo walks for dogs that need to be walked alone. We match the dogs for temperament and energy so that they love going out with their friends;

- Dog boarding: We offer a service where your dog is one of only two dogs maximum or even the sole dog & animal of the house. All clients meet their boarder beforehand and have a trial night, as per Defra Higher standard guidance, to ensure you know, and we know, that your dog will be happy at their boarder home;

When your puppy has had its vaccinations and is ready to mingle, we introduce it to other puppies and dogs that we match for energy and temperament so that socialisation can happen early but in a controlled environment where it isn’t overstimulated by being with too many other dogs. We also start to lead walk as soon as is appropriate and work using the RCVS guidelines regarding how long that walk is: based on age and breed;

- House sitting: We understand how important it is to have reliable, professional and trustworthy house and pet sitters. People you get to know and who you trust implicitly with your home and animals. People that you develop a professional but warm relationship with. We have a small but dedicated and experienced team who are exactly those people. We offer provision for overnight house sits from one night to several weeks. Our team has great experience with a variety of animals from cats and dogs to geckos, goats, chickens and ponies.
