Barkers Pet Care

With children and pets spending more time together over the summer holidays, it's super important to watch dogs closely and listen to their body language to tell if they're starting to feel uncomfortable ⚠️🐶

Dogs' stress signals often get misunderstood or missed, with some owners not realising their dog is unhappy until they growl, snap or even bite 😟

The canine ladder of communication is a useful guide, showing the different signals dogs show through their body language to communicate. As a dog gets more upset, their body language may change according to the steps on the ladder.

It’s important to note that all dogs are different - not every dog will show every behaviour on the ladder and might not follow the specific order.

Welcome again to the Yellow Dog UK wonderful world of common sense. Would you go up to a stranger in the street and give her a hug or stick your hand in their face? Well I wouldn't but it happens all to often unfortunately with dogs .... What do you do when you can see someone approaching you and your dog?

Is your four-legged pal curious by nature? 👀🍃 With summer flowers ready to bloom, you may find that your pet could be tempted to try and explore some of nature’s greenery!

Their snooping snouts often mistake them for a new fragrant treat, but flowers are best kept out of paws’ reach, as certain types of summer plants can be very poisonous! Some of these include hydrangeas, geranium, foxglove, larkspur, rowan, cotoneaster, lily of the valley and others. 🌷🚫
