Place practice is more fun with a friend.

I chop parsley and mix it with yogurt to add to my dogs’ meals, there are lots of ways to feed apiaceous veggies and they have other positive effects in addition to this.

Grimm loves watermelon and coconut oil, mix them together for a great summer treat!

Feeding some refreshing watermelon to your dog?
It's a nice source of lycopene to protect against heart disease and some cancers, but absorption is the key.
✅Improve absoprtion by adding a little fat. Coconut oil can be mixed into some mashed wastermelon before freezing in cute molds - but I'm into keeping life simpler these days. Hudson sometimes gets watermelon added to any fattier food like salmon or egg. You don't need to spend a lot of time to feed top notch combos 🙂

Be careful when temperatures rise, your dog won’t know they are overdoing it so you need to monitor closely.

Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?

One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...

We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!

But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.

This is fun, I will try it and share a video later. Share a pic or video if you give it a go.

With the high summer temps, remember to pay attention to your dog’s condition and don’t let them overheat.

Definitely something to think about with the warmer days ahead!

This is pretty interesting.

Grimm has always reminded me of Hobbes so I was excited to get this gorgeous collar from Fuzzy Logic Collars. What cartoon character is your dog like?

Beautiful day to get out and practice loose leash walking. Birdie rocked it.

Great info for these cold temps! In this weather Grimm gets his walks in on our dog treadmill 🥶 🐕

With temperatures dropping, it's important to know how to dress your dog to go outside! Here’s a winter clothing guide for dogs to help dog parents determine what their dogs need, depending on the temperature!

Some lap time nap time is needed after a day of new experiences.

Follow along as we teach Grimm to use these buttons from FluentPet to communicate with us. We are starting with three words, what three words would you choose?

This fluffy little boy loves the snow, anyone else have good snow pics to share today?

Cozy weekend snuggle vibes with a doodle boy. Love having this sweet, confident puppy in the house.

These balls are the best for inside play. Light and soft so I can throw them and not worry. Also Grimm loves them.

All of this. I get asked all the time about "fixing" dogs that are not super social, there is nothing to fix. I promise.

There is nothing natural about large numbers of unfamiliar dogs partaking in high-intensity activity in a dog park, and this shouldn’t be the benchmark for a social dog. If your dog is not their best in such an environment, you are not doing anything wrong. 👏👏 There is nothing wrong with your dog. 👏👏 Your dog is normal. 👏👏
