Although yoga is deemed relaxing, the upcoming trend of puppy yoga is anything but zen. In fact, it can cause unnecessary stress to puppies during their crucial development phases.

Shockingly there are no current regulations in place, putting puppies as young as six weeks old at risk 😔

It looks like Summer has finally arrived, so Jackson is here to remind you to keep your furry friends safe in the heat 🌞

It may be tempting to include your pooch in your trip to the beach or picnic in the park, but it's safer to leave them at home when temperatures soar.

Heat-related illnesses after exercise affects 10 times more dogs than those overheating in cars, so if in doubt, don't go out ❌

For 200 years we've been creating a better world for animals, but animals have a huge impact on our world too 🌍

From Dolly the sheep to Britain’s last circus elephant, animals have changed the course of history. Whether it is changing laws, opening our eyes to our impact on their welfare, or sparking debate about how we treat animals in our own lives.

A better world for animals is a better world for us all. Here's eight animals who changed the world: https://bit.ly/3VjKLUk

For the first time ever, animals and antiques come together in a pet-themed extravaganza to celebrate the RSPCA’s 200th anniversary. The red and blue teams are joined by their pet pooches, dressed in miniature Bargain Hunt fleeces, as they sniff out some bargains at Shepton Mallet antiques fair in Somerset. Presenter Christina Trevanion is top dog, while experts Caroline Hawley and Thomas Forrester try to keep the teams and their pets in check.

On the red team, Matt and Georgie are joined by their spaniel Sprocket, but within a few minutes she wants to ‘paws’ for a lie-down! Meanwhile, Val and Rachael on the blue team are hoping that Jack the Jack Russell will be their secret weapon. He enjoys showing off his doggy agility skills to explain the rules of the game, but can he help his owners find a piece of ‘bone’ china for their challenge?

Then it’s off to Chippenham, where auctioneer Tim Weeks introduces his black and white collie Roxy, before getting on the rostrum to sell our teams’ lots. But this time, the reds and blues aren’t just battling for golden gavel glory. Their pets are hoping to walk away with the ultimate prize – a golden bone!

Christina also visits the RSPCA’s West Hatch Animal Centre in Taunton to learn about their life-saving work with pets and wild animals, and to find out how the organisation was founded two centuries ago

For the first time, dogs join their owners to sniff out bargains at a fair in Somerset.

RSPCA Lincolnshire East branch are celebrating 200 years of change. Back in 1824, the world was a very different place for animals.

200 years ago, a group of people met in a London coffee shop, determined to change animals’ lives for the better. That goal has been the beating heart of the RSPCA ever since.

In two centuries, we’ve improved millions of animals’ lives by changing laws, industries and minds. Ours is a rich history, but we’re not just reflecting on the past. As the world changes and the threats facing animals mount, the RSPCA must rise to meet them. The times we're living through — climate change, factory farming, wars, and a cost-of-living crisis — demand an urgent response.

That’s why 2024 isn't just an anniversary, it’s a new chapter in our story. This is our chance to work together, everyone for every animal. Let’s celebrate the bond between us and inspire more people to action.

Because a world that’s better for animals is better for us all!!

This mum and her three kittens were discovered by a passing jogger who heard meowing from a bush in Crewe, Cheshire! 🙀

They had been left in a hidden pet carrier and must have been very frightened. Thankfully, they are doing well now.

We urge owners to speak to their vet about getting their cats neutered to prevent them from having unexpected or unwanted litters. Find out more: https://bit.ly/44XJLJX

Did you know there's no such thing as a seagull? 🤯

There are a variety of gull species and not all of them are spotted by the sea.

One thing they all have in common is gull-speak. If you have ever wondered what gulls are saying when the call out to each other, here's the answer: https://bit.ly/3VBFlDU
