☀️🐾 Heat Safety for Pets This Summer

With temperatures rising, it’s easy for pets to overheat without us realising. Here’s how to keep them safe:
🐾 Walk dogs early morning or late evening
🐾 Check pavement with the ‘5-second rule’
🐾 Provide shade + fresh water inside and out
🐾 Avoid locking pets in cars — even for a minute
🐾 Cats love cool tiles and shaded window spots — let them choose cooler spaces

A little planning goes a long way to keeping your fur babies comfortable this summer 💛🐶🐱

🐶 Did you know dogs need rest just as much as they need exercise?

After a long walk or a playful morning, your pup’s muscles and joints need time to recover. Rest days:
💤 Prevent injury and fatigue
🐾 Help with mental wellbeing
🐕 Allow energy to recharge for the next adventure

Even the most active dogs enjoy a lazy afternoon snooze — and that’s perfectly normal!

🏠 Cats love knowing they have a space all to themselves.
Whether it’s a high perch, a quiet corner, or a favourite blanket, that’s their “safe zone.”

Tips for creating one:
🪴 Choose a quiet spot
🧺 Add comfy bedding
😸 Keep it scent-familiar (don’t wash too often!)
🚫 No surprises — avoid sudden noise or changes

A secure cat = a happy, confident companion 💕🐱

🐾 Sleepover with Skye & Bobbie 💕
Critter Carer Lisha has been spending a few nights with Skye and Bobbie, and these two have been such sweet company! 🐶🐶

Skye has become Lisha’s little shadow, while Bobbie prefers to stay nearby, keeping a gentle watch 👀💛

Skye’s been missing her family a little, spending time gazing out the window between naps on the bed, while Bobbie’s been soaking up every bit of attention — even giving gentle nose nudges when the pats stop! 🥰

Plenty of cuddles, quiet moments, and morning time in the garden have made for happy, relaxed pups. 🐾🌿

🐶 Socialisation isn’t just about meeting other dogs!

Great socialisation = positive exposure to:
🧍‍♀️ different people (kids, adults, hats, umbrellas!)
🚗 everyday noises and vehicles
🦆 animals and changing environments
🩵 handling — getting used to being touched and groomed

The more your dog experiences calmly, the more confident and happy they’ll be 💪🐾

🐾 Musty’s Big Adventure! 😅
Musty had a wonderful walk with Retha — plenty of fresh air, happy sniffs, and a little bit of unexpected excitement! 🐕💨

A young bull in the paddock decided he wanted to join the fun and came running over to say hello 🤪🐮

Both Musty and Retha picked up the pace toward the house pretty quickly! 😄

After all that excitement, Musty was exhausted and was out like a light when she got home. 💕💤

🥑 Bayley and Her “Special Ball” 😂
When Critter Carer Sue arrived for her visit, she thought Bayley had found herself a ball to play with… but on closer look — it was an avocado! 🥑🐶

Bayley was so proud of her “find” and carried it around like treasure, refusing to let it go. Even the next day, she still had it clutched in her mouth! 😄

Sue eventually managed to swap the avocado for a tasty lamb’s ear (a very fair trade, if you ask us!) and tucked the avocado somewhere safe. 💚

Just another day of adorable antics with our clever Critter Care crew!

🐱 Ever had your cat knead your lap like it’s a loaf of bread? 🍞

Here’s why cats knead:
💛 Comfort behaviour from kittenhood (they kneaded mum for milk)
💛 Marking you as “theirs” — scent glands in paws release happy pheromones
💛 Showing affection and trust

So next time your cat starts kneading, take it as a warm, fuzzy compliment 🐾💕

🐱 Brushing Time with Snowflake! ❄️
Critter Carer Sue spent some pamper time with beautiful Snowflake — and wow, did this fluffy girl have lots of fur to share! 🧺💨

After brushing, Sue got a bit creative and used all that loose fur to make a mini Snowflake beside the real one 😹💗
We think they make quite the adorable pair!
