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 ⚠️

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 same order.

[Visual description: An infographic explaining Kendal Shepherd’s ladder of communication and how to recognise stress in dogs by the signs they show in their body language. This is a traffic light system with red signals being the worst. Green signals are: Yawning, blinking, nose licking and turning their head away. Yellow signals are: Sitting and turning their body away, walking away, creeping and having their ears back. Orange signals are: Standing crouched, tail tucked, lying down with their belly exposed in a submissive way, stiffening up and staring. Red signals are: Growling, snapping and biting.]

In the warmer months, we may go to the freezer for an iced treat to help us cool off, but is it ok for dogs to also enjoy these frozen goodies?

Yes - dogs can have ice cubes! However, keep in mind ice cubes can pose a choking risk when our pets are whizzing around playing with them, so you may wish to consider giving them crushed ice as opposed to full cubes. Giving dogs ice does not provide much effect on their core temperature, but they may enjoy crunching them or playing with them in their water.

Dogs may also enjoy other cold treats, such as food dispensing toys filled with frozen vegetables, chicken or fish stock, or other dog safe recipes. These treats will also provide a good enrichment activity in the warmer weather when you might not be able to walk or play as normal - but remember to adjust their normal food portion for these extra calories!

In terms of ice cream, many sellers now offer dog friendly options, which are not as rich and shouldn’t upset their tummies – as long as you stick to these dog friendly options, your dog can definitely join in at ice cream time.

Should you believe your dog is suffering signs of heat stroke, read our guidance here - https://mkvetgroup.co.uk/news/updated-guidance-around-heatstroke-in-pets/
