Some grass seeds can really hurt our dogs. These arrowlike seeds can spear through their skin and bury themselves in our dogs' ears, eyes and paws.

Learn the signs to watch out for at thekennelclub.org.uk/grassseeds.

⚠️ There is currently an increase in sickness bugs going round with dogs at the moment, it is thought to be due to the fact the water table is high, sewerage pipes are breaking and drains are overflowing.

1. Take out water on your walks with your dog, if they generally won’t drink do it at a time they are more relaxed, they need to feel safe to drink.

2. Ensure they are comfortable with the drinking apparatus in the house first, put it down on the ground rather than shoving the bottle towards them to drink.

3. If they are fussy with water it’s usually because its over chlorinated or they are looking for specific minerals so take bottled spring water (water stored in a glass bottle is generally better because of the plastic and dogs can often want to avoid certain plastics). It’s cheaper than a vet bill!

Avoid flooded areas, cross over if there are puddles if you know your dog will drink from them. Reward them for ignoring puddles.

Please be careful with your fur babies. 🐶🐾

🐾 For all dog walkers on Weston beach:

🪝 There was a fishing competition on Weston beach yesterday and unfortunately there seems to have been some hooks left behind as we have seen some dogs with injuries.
Please be careful if walking your dog in this area and within the seaweed. It seems to be in the area around Revo.

It’s

If you didn’t already know - a yellow lead, bandana or slip can signify that a dog may be nervous or reactive!

This could be to both humans or dogs, or even both!

If you see a dog with one of these then ensure to give them space. Reactive dogs are still amazing and lovely dogs but sometimes just struggle with the world around them!

Their owners are doing the best they can, and all they ask is for you to give them space’

🥲

This post is a plea on behalf of a very special, yet utterly shut down lady that has spent her entire 9yrs of life being used in a breeding facility and now is desperate to have the love and compassion from a family that’s willing to give her a chance.

Antigua, a gorgeous Tibetan x Newfoundland, is not doing well here at the rescue, and the likelihood is that she has been just as worried, shut down and scared for a long time before she even found herself here. Us staff struggle to comprehend just what’s going on in her head, but with each day passing, it’s easy to see that this lady has utterly given up on life. She isn’t eating at all right now and is currently being syringe fed, but this is what happens, even though we know she is safe here, she has no idea what to expect from us.

We were told before her arrival that she was just 3 years old, but it turns out this large girl is actually closer to 9. She has been in the same place for the last 9 years and being here has turned her world upside down. As you can see from her pictures, Antigua is a very big girl and true to her breed temperaments, she is a giant softie that doesn’t deserve to find herself pacing anxiously within a kennel like she is currently.

Antigua shows signs of being the most incredible companion and her personality definitely starts to shine when she gets to go on walks. The further away she is from the kennels, the more at ease she becomes. She enjoys having a roam around the fields and sniffing out her environment, and whoever adopts her will get to give her the experience of discovering loads of new places.

Antigua could be the girl of dreams but we just need someone to properly bring it out of her. We understand that all of our dogs need to break free, but it’s painful to see a lady like this in such desperate need of tlc and the bottom line is that Antigua isn’t going to blossom in this environment, she needs a person to save her.

If you are able to give this gorgeous big lady the home, love and life she deserves, then please consider applying for her on our website ❤️🐾
