Beautiful client of the week goes to the one and only Jaqs. 🥰

What a great idea. I say to my clients that you don’t need to buy a raised water bowl- there’s so many different ways to get that bowl higher of the floor!!
As long as the plants are not toxic 😇❤️

Be sensible in this heat, please. The pavements get incredibly hot and can burn paws too.

⭐️⭐️Announcement - New offer!⭐️⭐️

For one day only we are offering a unique partnership opportunity with our friends at Momentum Clinical Canine Massage !

The 26th - June from 1pm!

For both daycare AND non-daycare dogs!

Louise at Momentum is a highly qualified canine massage therapist in the canine massage guild, who knows about everything muscular and ailments your dog might have that are anything from injuries to subtle changes in how they act everyday. Louise can pinpoint the issue, work her magic and start working with your dog to improve mobility, pain issues or recovery.

I speak from personal experience after using Louise monthly after my oldest Digby had an accident at 7 months old (he’s now 4) and after months of hydrotherapy and pain meds, since using Louise he’s been pain free and his behaviour issues linked to underlying pain have improved massively too! He loves her visits and of course cuddles.

See more about Louise and what massage is and how it can help your dog here;

https://momentumcaninemassage.co.uk/what-is-clinical-canine-massage/

If you’d like to book your FREE clinical assessment here at our centre with Louise comments or message us directly. Daycare dogs can be done while they are with us on the day so owners don’t have to be there if unavailable. Non daycare dogs you can pop up to us with your dog to get your muscular check done.

If you’ve noticed any changes in your dog physically, their behaviour, recovering from an injury, working dogs, competition dogs, or even if you’re just curious if your dog has any hidden issues, Louise can see if there is anything underlying that might need treatment even if very subtle, and from there advise on a plan with her.

Wow 🥰

Jules alerted Jade a few minutes before this picture was taken as he detected a change in her odour which meant she was about to collapse due to her condition, . She then knew that she needed to lie down. Before having Jules, this would have happened suddenly, without any warning and she suffered injuries such as black eyes and dislocations daily.

POOCH CORNER - PUCKER UP!

PUCKER UP!
I saw a video on Facebook this week. A lady was holding a Labrador adolescent puppy on her lap (one of the gentlest dogs ever) and kissing him on the lips! She kept on kissing even when the puppy moved his head away and tried to get free. It was obvious that the puppy was not happy but the human persisted. Can you guess what happened next? Yes, the puppy bit the lady. Not only did he bite, he went for her. Ridiculous!

POOCH CORNER - "5 principles of pain’. Week 4 – Behaviour
Welcome to another pooch corner blog. Over the last few weeks, we have covered gait, posture, and ADLs, but I think “behaviour” is probably the most common area where guardians are aware of when behaviours change but rarely understand the potential causes behind it.

Thanks to Momentum Clinical Canine Massage for this week's blog.

❄️ What is frostbite? ❄️

Frostbite is damage caused to the skin and other tissues as a result of prolonged exposure to extreme cold.


❄️ Who is at risk of frostbite? ❄️

Any pet who spends a prolonged period exposed to extremely cold weather has the potential to be affected by frostbite. However, there are some factors which may heighten the risk of your dog getting frostbite:

• Medical conditions that affect blood flow
• Wet fur
• Short hair
• Small in size
• Illness
• Old age

❄️ How does frostbite occur? ❄️

Prolonged contact with cold temperatures causes the body to close blood vessels that are near the skin to preserve a stable core body temperature.

Blood vessels start to narrow or constrict. Sometimes, this protective mechanism can reduce blood flow to critically low levels in some areas of the body (particularly the extremities). The combination of cold temperatures and reduced blood flow can allow the tissues to freeze, causing severe tissue injury.

You should immediately contact your vet so that they can give the correct advice for your particular situation.
