Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only.

Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks.

I believe that permitting unregulated use of fireworks is an act of wide-scale cruelty to animals.

Think about the frightened wildlife as a result of the fireworks.
Think about the terrified barn owl as a result of the fireworks.

For every bang and flash this firework season, there is a bark, a whimper, or a trembling animal who may be stressed to the point of injury - or even death. 😢

When firework season comes around, it can be hard as a pet guardian to know how to calm, soothe and keep pets safe throughout this stressful season.

The loud banging & bright light fireworks should be banned for the sake of domestic pets, wild life, farm animals and anybody who has suffers with PTSD or is frightened during fireworks. 

While there are no ‘silent’ fireworks, low noise alternatives can certainly reduce the impact and fear felt by both people and animals that traditional fireworks often cause.

Stop selling fireworks to the general public and organise official organised events that have to be applied for.

Feel free to complete the RSPCA fireworks survey to share a story. Personal stories have the power to make a real difference and will help demonstrate why the law needs to change:

Here are some kind, simple ways to support your animals throughout the noise ⬇️

Clocks fall back one hour this weekend 🎉
Get an extra hour of sleep! 💤
Unless you have a pet … 🐈‍⬛🐕

Traffic accidents are more common in the darker months. Remember to walk wearing reflective clothing for yourself and ensure that your dog has bright reflective collars or light up leads.

Make sure your dog (or cat) is always wearing ID with your current contact info. If your pet goes missing from the sound of fireworks - don’t panic!

Tell EVERYONE to NOT call out, chase or whistle for YOUR pet!

If people want to walk & look, that is fine.
Tell them DO NOT chase or shout out, the noise could make your pet run away further. The only person that should call out, or whistle, is the pet guardian - YOU. Carry some old socks/pet blanket in your hands too and your pet’s pheromones will ‘smell you out’.

Let your pet relax and s/he may very likely come home on their own - when it is quiet.

DO NOT let people congregate in your driveway, garden or the pavement. Your pet is going to feel very frightened and will stay in hiding until everything calms down.

If your pet has not returned, put out your pet’s favourite blanket, some food and water, and something that smells like you in the area - a dirty sock or a pillowcase. Carry some old socks/your pet blanket in your hands too.

Embrace the Beauty of Ebony Canines - today and always. 

In the realm of canine companionship, International Black Dog Day is observed annually on October 1, and stands as a beacon of awareness for the peculiar plight of our ebony-coated companions and encourages the adoption of a dog in the darker shades. Many people aren’t even aware of something called “Black Dog Syndrome” - which is a phenomenon where dogs with black coats or dark-coloured coats are overlooked for adoption. Unfortunately, black dogs are less likely to be adopted for no other reason than their colouring! Madness.

Superstitious people believe that black dogs are bad luck where concepts of darkness mingle with the fear of melancholy, disease and death - all while being projected onto (Wo)Man’s Best Friend. As Roman poet Horace wrote of the "black dog" as a symbol of depression, essentially having a black dog trailing behind a person and the superstitions of darkness continued.

No matter the size and the breed, black dogs deserve love and affection, so open up your home - and your heart - to a darker-coloured companion who needs a home.

Happy International Black Dog Day! 🐕‍🦺

It’s the wild west out there for dogs and people who love them. We need better regulation - well, actually, we need to start to have regulation so that the good people who are doing rescue well for all the right reasons can stand out from these ghastly rogues.

Every week, it seems there is another police raid on a rogue rescue. The one in Essex had more body bags than dogs being saved.

If Action Fraud hadn’t stepped in - how much longer would that have continued?

We’re running out of time. 90,000+ have signed. We need to hit 100,000+

Hundred percent!

I agree with Dougal's Doggy Digs post as people out walking their dogs in 27.5°C and higher! His approach was fantastic - without sounding like the 'Dog Police’.

On a scorching day, Dougal's Doggy Digs roped Ruby & Elly into a little idea to help get the point across as, barefoot and wrapped up in a big coat, to prove a point!

Massive thanks to Ruby & Elly for being such great sports

☀️ If it's too hot for your bare feet - it's too hot for a dog’s paws.
☀️ If you wouldn't wear a fur coat and go for a jog in this heat - neither should your pets.
☀️Walk your dogs early or late, and always check the ground before you head out. Their paws (and their health!) will depend on it. 🐾

☀️HOT WEATHER WARNING☀️

As the weather is getting hotter and hotter this week, please be careful! Walk your dog(s) first thing in the morning and keep them in the shade if you can. Repeat for an evening walk.

Make sure your pet has access to shade, if your dog goes into your garden, and plenty of fresh water throughout the day.

Too Hot for Paws or The Tarmac Test:
If you cannot comfortably hold your hand on the tarmac for 5 seconds, cancel your dog’s walk until it’s cooler.

With the weekend coming up, stay safe for your pooches. 💛

Dogs aren’t good at self-regulating and may continue to run and play even though they’re hot and tired, which increases their risk of heatstroke. Exercise is the main trigger.

Act immediately if your dog’s condition starts to get worse during the heat or is struggling to breathe. Call your nearest vet immediately!

Always ‘Cool first, Transport second’
