Whilst it may be lovely to finally see some sunshine, please remember to keep your pooches safe ☀️⚠️
Here are 6 signs of heatstroke in dogs:
Heavy panting
Excessive drooling
Vomiting
Drowsy and uncoordinated
Diarrhoea
Collapsing
If your dog is showing any of these signs, contact your vet immediately, move them into the shade, offer them drinking water and start cooling your dog by soaking their body with cold water - avoiding their face.
Here's how to keep them cool 👉 https://bit.ly/4bgImj9

Growing up with a canine companion can foster emotional development in children. The unconditional love offered by furry friends like our buddy dogs provide a safe space for emotional expression, easing fears and anxieties, while promoting empathy and self-esteem.

When 11-year-old lurcher Jess was brought into Vets for Pets Leeds Birstall 24/7 Small Animal Hospital on Christmas Eve feeling very poorly with pyometra – a life-threatening uterus infection – the team knew they had to act fast; so vet Emily and nurses JD and Hannah headed straight in to perform emergency surgery on her in the early hours of Christmas morning.

The operation went so well that by lunchtime nurse Krishna was able to call her owner Beth to say she was well enough to come home to recuperate – and Beth made the hour-long drive from her home in Keighley so she could bring Jess home before the family sat down for their Christmas dinner. Beth said: "It was a stressful start to Christmas, as we were worried about Jess because of her age and because she's never had anything wrong with her before. We're so grateful for everything – it was so nice of them to come in on Christmas Day to operate on her, to look after her so well and to get her home on top form. The vets were fantastic from start to finish. Jess is recovering nicely – you can see the happiness is back in her!"

Krishna said: "Our night team always do an amazing job, and performing serious surgery like that at that time of night and on Christmas Day of all days is just brilliant. Jess did amazingly well to bounce back so quickly, and it was amazing being able to call her owners to say that she could come home to spend Christmas with them. It's the sort of call we all love to make, but doing it on Christmas Day was extra nice."

Do you love greyhounds but aren’t able to home a hound on a permanent basis? 👀

If you’re unable to adopt, you may still be able to help a greyhound in need by becoming a foster carer! 🐾

Most retired racing greyhounds have spent their whole lives in a kennel and being a foster carer can help them get used to the different sounds, smells and routines of a home. 🏡

There are many reasons a greyhound might need short term foster care. As a fosterer you’ll be able to help with their transition and assist our teams to see what they’re like in a home, which can help us match them to their forever families. 💚

If you’d like to help or for more information on fostering, please use the branch finder on our website and get in touch with your local Greyhound Trust: https://www.greyhoundtrust.org.uk/regional-branches.

At Greyhound Trust, we never put a healthy greyhound to sleep. 🐾 We think all our greyhounds are great, but some are overlooked due to their age, health condition or an injury, or just because they are especially sensitive to their surroundings. These beautiful greyhounds still have so much love to give! 💚

Will you sponsor one of our special Greyhound Groups to make sure nothing gets in the way of them finding their loving forever home? 🏡
