🐾🌟Karen and Merlin🐾🌟

Meet Karen, one of Hearing Dogs’ amazing volunteer dog trainers. We asked Karen about why she volunteers:

“My lovely mum has been deaf since childhood and has had multiple operations on her ears over the years and now has a BAHA hearing aid. When she removes this at night, she hears nothing.”

“She doesn't have a hearing dog herself but it's because of her I got involved with this amazing charity and became a volunteer. I've witnessed her struggles and the lack of understanding from people about her deafness and I wanted to do something to help improve a deaf person's life.”

Karen has been volunteering for ten years and it’s been Poodles all the way. Before current trainee Merlin, there were Jessie, Peach, Sonny, and Ziggy. Ahead of Merlin's final assessment, Karen has said:

“I absolutely adore him and will miss Merlin so much as he makes me laugh everyday. But I feel so excited that someone out there is going to be told about him very soon. Whoever gets him will have an extremely loyal friend who will look after and adore them.”

For more information on the wonderful charity Hearing Dogs who we are currently working with, please head over to their website or page.

🪥While it's a frequent issue, bad breath in pets should not be considered normal. Often, it's a sign of underlying health problems that need attention!

🪥If you're used to your pet cuddling close to your face, you'll likely notice quickly if their breath becomes unpleasant!

Blue Monday typically falls on the third Monday of January and is often considered the “saddest day of the year”.

Fortunately, we all know that our pets are great at cheering us up, and here’s how
they can help raise your spirits this January:

💙 Studies show that interacting with pets; like stroking their fur or playing with them, releases oxytocin (the "feel-good" hormone) and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

💙 Walking a dog or playing with a cat keeps you active, which boosts endorphins and helps combat sadness or depression.

💙 Pets are very intuitive, meaning they can sense when you are feeling down. Their comforting presence alone can be enough to soothe any feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness.

How do your pets help you beat the January blues? Share your stories and photos in the comments! 🐶🐰🐹🐱🐭

🍩Recognising Pet Obesity🍩

Overindulged during the holiday season? As many of us embark on New Year’s resolution diet and fitness regimes, lots of our pets would benefit from accompanying us. It is estimated that up to 65% of dogs and 50% of cats in the UK are obese.

Being overweight leaves pets at greater risk of conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and arthritis and studies have shown that it can dramatically reduce their overall life expectancy.

Unfortunately we have had a deceased male tabby cat brought into the Urmston branch this evening (found in the Flixton area).

He is chipped but the chip is not registered.

Please contact the Monton branch tomorrow or Urmston from Monday onwards if you have any information or suspect this may be your cat.

📌Salt and Grit on Paws📌

As we move into the colder months of January and February, the chance of snow and ice increases and therefore you may find yourself heading out on a frosty dog walk more often than not!

Check out our top tips below on keeping your dog safe when out and about in snow and ice:

❄️ Remember, if the weather is really bad and you don’t think it's safe to head out, then there is no harm in skipping the odd dog walk and playing games indoors.

❄️ Salt and grit used for de-icing roads can pose risks to a dog’s paws. It can irritate their paw pads, causing redness, cracking or peeling. In an attempt to remove the salt, dogs may lick their paws, but this can lead to them ingesting chemicals that can upset their stomachs or cause more severe issues.

❄️Grit found on the roads sometimes causes micro-cuts and abrasions on paw pads, increasing the risk of infection.

‼️Prevention and Care:

🐾Use dog boots to shield paws from salt and grit.

🐾Apply a paw wax or balm before walks to create a protective barrier.

🐾Rinse and wipe your dog’s paws with warm water and a soft cloth after walks.

🐾Check paws regularly for cuts or signs of irritation.

🐾Trim fur between paw pads to prevent ice and grit accumulation.

‼️First Aid for Irritated Paws:
Rinse thoroughly with warm water and then apply a soothing paw balm or petroleum jelly. If irritation persists or there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, limping), please call us to book an appointment!

January 2025 is International Walk Your Dog Month ! 🐾🐶

Regular exercise and outdoor activity is extremely important for our pooches.
With January being quite chilly with limited light during the day, you might want to consider the following when walking your dog:

🐾 Wearing bright/reflective clothing when walking in the dark and try a reflective collar or harness for your dog.

🐾 Wrap up to stay warm- dogs such as Italian greyhounds or hairless breeds may benefit from wearing a warm/waterproof dog coat.

🐾 When walking on the pavement by roads it is advised to ALWAYS have your dog on a lead for safety.

🐾 After being on walks be sure to check and clean your pups paws- mud, salt grit, small stones etc can get stuck in between their paws so a quick check once indoors can help to keep them clean and avoid injury.

Be safe and keep walking !🐾🐕
