While most dogs may *attempt* to swim, some dogs have physical traits that make swimming a challenge. For example, flat-faced breeds can easily get water up their nose, putting them at risk of drowning. Dogs with large chests or a short leg/long body combo (we’re looking at you, Dachshunds), may struggle to stay afloat in water. And some dogs’ coats make it difficult to swim or fail to keep them warm in chilly water.

If you’re around water and unsure of your pup’s swimming abilities, keep a close eye on them and consider using a doggie life vest.

If your dog makes a noise that sounds more like a goose than a pup, it may trigger alarm bells in your head. Sometimes the cause is simple, like a reverse sneeze, which typically isn’t reason for concern. Other times there can be an underlying issue that warrants a trip to the vet. Check out the link in our bio to understand possible causes and what you can do to help your dog.

Greyhounds are commonly known as couch potatoes.

Greyhounds have a need for speed. But a need for marathons? Not so much. This breed prefers short bursts of running followed by time lounging on the couch with their human.

Here at Battersea, we get all types of dogs and cats coming through our gates, like Koda here. 😍 She was born with heterochromia, which means she has different coloured eyes. Heterochromia can be found in all types of animals, but animals with white fur are more likely to experience heterochromia.

Battersea and Wisdom Panel UK understand how important it is to care for pets as individuals — the more you know, the better you can care for them. Wisdom Panel uses the power of science to help pet owners uncover genetic insights through their pet DNA tests and will be donating £2 to Battersea from the sales of select lines of their test kits to help us continue to be there for dogs and cats like Koda. 🐶🐱

Sure, you’ve walked, hiked, or jogged with your pet, but you’ve only scratched the surface of canine cardio if you haven’t tried these workouts as well. And even if your pup has zero experience, we have no doubt that they’ll likely reach personal trainer status within five minutes of your warm up. As always, it’s a good idea to partner with your vet prior to starting a new exercise routine so that you can accommodate activities and intensity levels to your pup’s unique situation!

Just like people, cats inherit their blood type from their mother and father. Blood type doesn’t play a big role in day-to-day life, but can be critical if an emergency blood transfusion is needed, or when making breeding decisions. Here are some fast facts so you’re in the know.

It’s cold season for people, but can dogs catch colds, too? Yes and no. They can’t catch colds from humans, but they can pick up respiratory infections from other dogs. If you notice any cold-like symptoms—including runny nose, sneezing, coughing, goopy eyes, or low energy—contact your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
