Please protect your pets in this heat ☀️

Heatstroke is a real danger for our pets and it's our job to keep them safe during this extremely hot weather. Dogs can not regulate their body temperature the same way as humans can and so it’s important to take all the necessary steps to ensure your pet stays cool and safe in this hot weather.

Do not walk your dog during the day in this heat, it is simply to hot for them. Even the footpaths can burn their paws. Keep them in the shade at all times and provide plenty of water for them. Try to walk your dog very early in the morning or late in the evening when it's cooler.

Paddling pools are a great way to help keep them cool during the day. Freeze their favourite treats and toys, this will encourage them to lick which can help them hydrate. It also keeps them still and lying down which will help stop them from overheating.

In the house make sure they have access to a shaded area too, the sun coming through the window can be very hot. Also make sure they have plenty of access to fresh cold water. You can use a damp towel on the kitchen floor for them to lie on to help keep them cool while indoors.

Sun cream should be applied to cats and dogs (even in the shade), especially those with white coats, white noses or ear tips. Be sure to use a pet friendly sun cream.

Never ever leave your dog in the car, temperatures can rise very very quickly in hot cars making it extremely dangerous for our pets. Parking in the shade or leaving a window open is not going to help!

Brachycephalic Dogs - Please be extra vigilant with flat faced/short-nosed dogs, e.g. boxers, french bulldogs, bulldogs, pugs. They can suffer with breathing on a normal day!

If you are worried about your pet at all in this heat please consult your vet sooner rather than later.

Keep our beloved furry friends safe 🐾

❌ RAPESEED! ❌

It’s that time of year again where farmers fields have blossomed into pretty yellow flowers, these plants are called rapeseed. Although it may be tempting to place your dog in the mist to take a scenic photo, please avoid this at all costs!

Rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, especially in highly sensitive canines.

Rapeseed is listed by Dogs Trust as toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as:

❌Haemolytic Anaemia
❌ Blindness
❌ Damaged Nervous System
❌ Digestive Disorders
❌ Breathing Problems

Even walking through these fields should be avoided! In June 2019, a dog was been reported to suffer from severe open wounds after running through a crop of rapeseed.

Please seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows any signs of rapeseed poisoning.

POISON ON THE CURRAGH

We have been informed that poison has been found recently on The Curragh, just outside Kildare Town, close to John Ox's stables, Curraghbeg. It is likely that it will be found in other locations as well. If you suspect you have seen poison being laid or you have found some, please report to your local Garda station. And please be very careful when walking your dogs on the Curragh.
