Meet Smoky: The WWII Yorkie Who Flew Missions, Saved Lives & Became America's First Therapy Dog!

This isn't your average pup! Smoky, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier, became a soldier's best friend during World War II.

This little dog survived 150 air raids, warned her soldier of incoming danger, and even helped re-establish communication lines!

After the war, Smoky continued to serve, visiting veterans in hospitals and bringing smiles with her playful tricks. ❤️ She's considered the very first Therapy Dog!

Figs can be a sweet treat for humans, but are they safe for our furry friends?

Here's why:

High in Sugar
Choking Hazard
Digestive Issues
Instead, try these dog-approved treats!

Fruits (in moderation): Apples, blueberries, and bananas
Veggies: Carrot sticks, green beans, and chopped cucumber

Spring has sprung! 🌸 Remember to keep a watchful eye on your pets and avoid these toxic plants at all times.⚠️

20/03/2024

We all look forward to spring and finally being able to get outside and start preparing the garden for the warmer months ahead! 🌷

Whilst our pets probably appreciate the outdoor company, our gardening efforts can create some potential hazards for them ⚠️

- Pesticides and w**d killers can be highly toxic, so keep pets away when using them.
- Slug pellets should be stored securely and only used where pets and other wildlife can not reach them, as they can be deadly if eaten.
- Compost bins and piles of leaves or grass cuttings can contain harmful bacteria and mould when they rot, so make sure you're clearing your garden waste into a secure bin, away from prying paws.
- Grass seeds can be a hidden hazard, as they can become lodged in your pet's skin, ears or eyes. As they're so small, they can move through the body's tissues, causing your pet serious inflammation or infection.
- Lots of toxic flowers begin to bloom in spring. This also means there are many poisonous bulbs to be dug up, which often have a higher concentration of nutrients than leaves or flowers, making them more dangerous for your pet if they are eaten. Keep these plants/bulbs in areas your pet can't access, or if you can, avoid them altogether.
