Cavan Vets would just like to make a statement in light of the ongoing XL Bully Ban.

Our practice protocol is, and always has been, that we will not euthanise a healthy animal. Our staff work tirelessly to help and support not only owned pets but also strays who are in difficulty and to be asked to euthanise an animal unless absolutely necessary goes against all that we stand for.

We are happy to provide information and advice to any XL bully owner who requires it we just ask that we are not asked to euthanise as we will unfortunately have to refuse.

We also have had a few clients who are a bit distressed at the thought that vets are at the forefront of the XL Bully Ban and believe we will report them and have their dog put to sleep - this is absolutley not the case.

We will offer guidance on what steps you should take to protect your XL but by no means is it our job to police it. Our job is and always will be to provide the best possible care to your pets and keep their health and welfare as our main priority, all our staff are big advocates for the breed and will welcome them with open arms as we would with any other breed.

Our picture is of the handsome Hugo!! Who is fully exempt and following all the legal protocols to keep him safe.

A great post

Brush, Brush , Brush….
With the continuing wet weather it is so important to brush your dog even more regularly. We are seeing dogs coming in more matted than normal, so if you want to keep your dog in the normal style it is essential. For many rethinking a shorter style can be a great option.
We have so many owners tell us their dog does not enjoy grooming. No dog is born hating grooming, it’s about creating positive experiences, so early socialisation in a salon to get used to the noises and goings on and brushing at home, so knots and matts do not occur, is an absolute must! . This way brushing is pain free and your dog will have no reason to have anxiety about dog grooming.
Tips for at home grooming,
🐾 Insure you have a good slicker brush and comb
🐾 Make sure you brush up and out from root to tip and can get a comb through .
🐾 If your dog wears a harness extra brushing will be required on all contact points of the harness, so chest and armpit areas etc
🐾 Use a leave in conditioning spray when brushing to prevent coat damage.
🐾 Place your dog on a table, using a rubber Matt to prevent slipping, this will help your dog understand he has a zone where grooming happens, if you have a large dog, place an blanket on the floor in the same location each time.
🐾 groom in short bursts if needed but insure you finish what you are doing if your dog plays up, rather than letting them go straight away.
🐾 do not rub your dog with a towel, this causes friction , which causes matting, squeeze moisture from the coat, brush and leave to dry and then brush again.
🐾 If bathing at home you must insure products are rinsed well and to ideally dry your dog and comb through. Drying in matts makes them constrict tighter.
Remember a dog just wants to be comfortable,
so if short is more practical for the time you can dedicate to grooming and your life style, then they really do not mind. 💜

I survived heat stroke, I think it was good luck.
I went walking outside in the heat, my owner didn’t give a ****!

I kept going, wanted to please, panted hard to stay cool.
I thought I might collapse but my owner kept throwing the ball.

If I was old and overweight I may of been dead, but my owner would rather walk me then let me relax in the house instead.

I survived heat stroke, but I think my owner is a fool.
Next time could be the last time. Let me stay home and keep cool.
