New service announcement!

We at Problem Pet Solutions understand that it is not always possible to afford a big outlay when buying a behaviour package. We are introducing a new service, our assessment visit where you can then add on further support on a as and when basis. This may help you to budget what you need while still claiming back the cost on your pet insurance if you have this. We still require referral from your vets and details of this service can be found on our website.

If your dog could fit into this catagory and is not a breed recognised by the kennel club then it is better to go for exemption rather than run the risk of confiscation and euthanasia. You can go for the opt out scheme once it's available.

Happy New Year

Thinking of all the rescue centres and vets having to make tough decisions this weekend on a breed ban that should never be in place. There were better options available but this farce of a government think this sticking plaster will work, it won't!

Oh dear, this description could describe many of the large, smooth coated breeds. The ban will be coming into force in February next year so please seek help from your vets to make sure you are up to date on what you need to do to register. If you need help with your dogs behaviour, then contact myself.

Embrace the imperfections, we aren't perfect so why should our pets be. They are not with us long enough so enjoy the chaos while they are young. You can always help guide them to better behaviour if you give them time and effort.

Check out my blog post, why I don't use labels and complex language with clients, communicating dog and cat behaviour.

Animal behaviour science has developed a great deal in the last 20 years, we have a better understanding of their emotional needs. With more research coming into this field we have increased jargon and although helpful for academics there is a reason why I do not use it in consultations. I am seeing...

I come across a lot of overseas rescues. Some of you might be interested in getting involved in this research.

Do you own an imported rescue dog that has been tested for Brucella canis in the UK, or have you been asked by your veterinary surgeon or practice to test your dog for Brucella canis? Please consider sharing your experiences in our project exploring the welfare implications of the international rehoming of rescue dogs to the UK. Please contact [email protected] for more information. Participation will involve taking part in a small online focus group on Thursday 25th May at 7:30pm. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Attempts will be made to preserve anonymity by keeping cameras off and not using real names.

After a long and sustained campaign, I'm delighted to see Government put forward legislation today to in England from February 2024. Shock collars cause unnecessary pain & suffering to dogs, so this is a huge Animal Welfare win.

Let's hope it gets through, I've seen an increase in the use of these devices over the last few years. 🤦🏼‍♀️

A reminder that is providing music tonight and tomorow to help those pets that are worried by fireworks.
You can also
* provide a comfy warm den, if your pet needs it
* makes sure they are kept inside, lower bolting risk
*when exercising, try to ensure well before fireworks start
*feed a larger meal to help settle beforehand
*make sure you have an up to date photo, incase your pet goes missing or bolts
*if your pet is really stressed then make sure you prepare for the next season by speaking to your vets. There are many medication options now to prevent them suffering unnecessarily.

This Friday and Saturday, join Charlotte Hawkins for Pet Classics and an evening of soothing classical music for all pets and animals who might feel anxious and scared with loud noises of Bonfire Night.

Fantastic bit of research 💫

The results of our trial are in and prove that dogs can detect the odour of the disease with high levels of accuracy: a sensitivity of 94.3% sensitivity and up to 92% specificity.

This means they can very reliably identify when people do and do not have the disease and crucially, they detected it even when samples were from asymptomatic individuals.

We are delighted to be sharing this news which confirms what we’ve always known –

I'm just about keeping my head above the clouds with my busy workload at the moment.

This is the reason why I've been quiet on here. I'm concentrating on my clients and for some of those, this picture might be relevant. I know some of you are juggling dogs, cats and lockdown nonsence, keep at it, we will get there..... Eventually, remember no quick fixes!

Picture taken by me, to clear my mind 😊
