River and Pip
Two paw-fect passengers.
Cocker spaniel River (left) and Pip the poodle (right) have been out
for a trip on the bus, getting comfortable with all the strange sights,
sounds, and smells of public transport.
It's an important stage of their hearing dog training so that Pip and
River can feel relaxed in case their future deaf partners travel by bus
or train.

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be
harmful. We control their environment, their access to water
and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling
unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with
veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it
will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.
If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a
cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If
you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health
Certificate (AHC) for them.
An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV).
Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a
qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

Imagine you are deaf. You can’t hear your smoke alarm or alarm clock. You can’t hear your text messages. You
miss out on social interactions. That’s what life is like for deaf people, and it can be very isolating. A hearing
dog can make a big difference. You can help our charity of the year – Hearing Dogs for Deaf People – help a
deaf person leave loneliness behind, by adding a donation via Pennies when you pay by card. Just a small
donation can help deaf people escape isolation and reconnect with life. Thank you.
