Sweet little Cavapoo puppy, Wilbur visited again recently for his first bath and dry 🛁

He did so well, as with most puppy’s he wasn’t keen on the dryer around his head. This is never a problem, it just means he went home a little damp 🐶

It’s so important to go at a pace that’s comfortable for each individual, it’s the difference between a happy pup or one who learns grooming is a scary, stressful process 🐾

See you again soon Wilbur 😍

Well, who knew! For anyone considering a puppy 👀

Well, who knew! For anyone considering a puppy 👀

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has undertaken the world’s largest study into the health of designer crossbreed dogs and revealed that the overall health of three common designer crossbreeds (Cockapoo, Labradoodle and Cavapoo) is largely similar to their parent purebred breeds. These findings d...

It’s no coincidence that the health of our dogs has rapidly declined since the invention of ultra-processed diets for our convenience. This mirrors what is happening in human societies across the world.

Before these diets existed, dogs thrived on table scraps and food they scavenged outdoors.

Genetics plays a part, but genes take thousands of years to evolve and change. 70 years is not long enough to explain this huge upturn in canine health issues.

Epigenetics is the more likely cause of the rapid increase in allergies, diseases and intolerances we are seeing in our dogs. Epigenetics is the effect of environmental stressors on gene expression - changes in cell function occurring without changes to the DNA sequence.

These stressors include poor diet, maternal stress and environmental chemicals. Early life exposure to these factors can increase the likelihood of disease occurring in later life.

If we want to stop this trend, we need to go back to basics. Give our dogs the life their ancestors led - reduce their chemical load, feed fresh, whole foods and allow them regular exercise and stress-free interactions with their own kind as much as possible 🐕

Thinking of neutering???? ⬇️

Traditionally spayed and neutered dogs have drastically elevated LH (luteinizing hormone) levels which leads to inflammation, behavioural changes (like increased fear and aggression), and even cancer.

Dr. Michelle Kutzler’s groundbreaking research highlights the importance of hormone-sparing sterilization, where we remove the ability for dogs to reproduce and prevent homelessness while protecting their health and longevity. Check it out - link in bio 🐾

This post highlights a really important issue, however it fails to mention pet food! ‼️

Dried food, kibble is a huge risk factor for dangerous mould ⚠️

This becomes a much bigger risk if you buy huge sacks. Although more cost effective, these begin degrading the moment they’re opened 💰

Not only an acute issue, poisoning can be chronic, occurring slowly overtime as toxins accumulate in your pets system 🐾

If you do feed your pets dry food. Keep it in its original packaging, inside an airtight container 👍

We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!

The best way to start the day…. with a cute puppy! 🥰

Gorgeous little Wilbur visited for a sniff around before he comes back in a few weeks for his first bath and dry. 🛁

He had a great time playing in between some time on the table and listening to the dryer 🐶

Well done Wilbur, see you again soon 😍

TITRE TESTING CLINIC - 7th October

Hello everyone,

My next titre testing clinic will be Monday 7th October from 10am at the clinic.
If you would like to book your dog in then please email me on [email protected].
Titre tests will be £55 per dog to be paid in advance.
As usual we are testing for antibodies to Hepatitis, Parvovirus & Distemper.

Test then Treat!
Stay Healthy, Stay Happy.

What is a Titre Test?

A titre test is a blood test which measures the antibody levels to various disease in your dogs' blood. If they have adequate antibody levels present, then this is proof of immunity and shows that they do not need a booster vaccination. In fact, they are better proof of immunity than vaccinating, as some dogs do not respond to vaccinations. If you have a non-responder (more common in black & tan breeds) then you could give a vaccine every year and they may never produce antibodies or mount an adequate immune response, and so not be protected at all.

What Diseases are Tested?

The titre tests we use measure antibody levels to Parvovirus, Distemper and Hepatits - the 3 core diseases dogs are vaccinated against.
What will Happen on the Day?
All that will happen on the clinic day is we will take a blood sample from your dog, and make note of their previous vaccine history (so please bring this with you). That's it!

When Should I do a Titre Test?

Titre tests can be done at any time. However, the best time to do one is shortly before your dog is due their booster vaccination, so you know whether they need it or not. They are especially important in young dogs, as if a puppy finishes their vaccine course before 16 weeks then the vaccines may not have been effective, due to maternal antibodies still being present, which can block the action of the vaccine. A titre test can be performed any time from 1 month after a vaccine.

How Often Shoud I do a Titre Test?

Titre tests should be performed as often as needed. If you have a strong positive result then it is best to repeat the test every 3 years. If they have any borderline or low results, then it may be worthwhile repeating the test the following year, especially if it is the Parvovirus result that is low, as this is the most prevelant of these diseases. Your results will be sent out to you shortly after the clinic day, with recommendations for when it will next be due.

Why Should I Titre Test?

Titre tests allow you to avoid over-vaccination of your pet. At each vaccination, there is always a risk of a vaccine reaction, either immediately, or delayed. There are also various immune mediated diseases that have been linked with vaccination, with evidence suggesting the vaccine can act as a trigger for the disease process. These include immune mediated haemolytic anaemia, immune mediated thrombocytopaenia & immune mediated skin diseases.

Foxtail grasses (Alopecurus and Hordeum species) are most prevalent in southern and eastern England, where the climate and soil conditions are particularly suitable for their growth. They are commonly found in:
🔸 Agricultural Areas: Fields and pastures where they can thrive in disturbed soil.
🔸 Roadsides and Verges: These areas provide a suitable environment due to the disturbed nature of the soil.
🔸 Urban Areas: Abandoned parks and gardens or where maintenance might be less frequent.
While these grasses are more common in the south and east, they can be found throughout the UK in suitable habitats.

Foxtail grasses pose several significant risks to dogs due to their barbed seed heads, which can easily become lodged in a dog’s fur, skin, or orifices. The risks include:

🔹Skin Irritation and Infection: The barbed seeds can pe*****te the skin, causing irritation, pain, and potentially leading to infection if not removed promptly
🔹Ear Problems: Foxtail seeds can enter a dog’s ear canal, leading to severe pain, infection, and potential damage to the eardrum. Symptoms include head shaking, scratching, and ear discharge.
🔹 Nasal Issues: If a dog inhales a foxtail, the seed can lodge in the nasal passages, causing sneezing, nasal discharge, and respiratory distress. In severe cases, it might require surgical removal.
🔹 Eye Injuries: Foxtail seeds can get into a dog’s eyes, causing irritation, redness, discharge, and potential damage to the cornea, which might result in blindness if untreated.
🔹 Internal Damage: If ingested, foxtail seeds can cause internal damage to the mouth, throat, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms might include coughing, gagging, difficulty swallowing, and abdominal pain.
🔹 Paw Problems: Foxtail seeds can lodge between a dog's toes, causing limping, swelling, and infection.

➡️ Immediate veterinary attention is recommended if a dog shows symptoms of foxtail exposure. Preventative measures include avoiding areas where foxtails grow during peak seasons, regularly checking and grooming the dog, and keeping the dog’s coat trimmed.

We’ve seen (understandably) lots of comments today about how surprised people are that vets will euthanise healthy dogs. We totally understand that this is something many people are not aware of.

Sadly, in rescue we see this daily. Every day there are lists of dogs emailed over with a date they are scheduled to die. There are owners threatening to have their dogs killed if we don’t take them immediately. This is happening NOW! This is just a normal day for us.

There is a rescue crisis. Vets are not to blame. Rescues are not to blame. Those to blame are breeders selling puppies to unsuitable homes. Owners not taking responsibility for the dogs that have raised. People letting down dogs, again, and again, and again.

Sadly Monty is just one of many. But he is one that has been saved, and that means today there is a little bit of hope for one dog 💙

What a great opportunity for someone to bag a great deal and for a brilliant cause! 🚙 🐾

My lovely husband has donated 10 hours of driving lessons to help raise money for a Great Dane group that we are involved in and who we got our beautiful Bentley from. If you would like to bid on these lessons (current bid is £50 and they are worth £445), you will need to join the auction group (anyone can join), go into albums and find this picture and add your bid.. The auction ends on Sunday 14th July, so don’t waste anytime..

Thank you!!

This little pup visited for a sniff around before his first bath in a few weeks 🐶

This is so important to boost confidence and teach young dogs about the sights, smells and sounds of the salon 🐾

If you fail to introduce grooming slowly and positively you’re potentially setting your puppy up for a lifetime of stress at every grooming session 😩

These sessions also give me an opportunity to be able to discuss your grooming requirements, coat maintenance as well answer any questions you may have ❤️
