Today, October 27th, is a separate Day of the Dead recognised as a day for people to honour the memory of their beloved pets who have sadly passed away. 💔🕊️

The main holiday is held on November 2nd, for humans. However, October 27th has become recognized by many as an additional day dedicated to remembering pets.

Did you know you can estimate a kitten’s age just by looking at their teeth?

Baby teeth appear by 2–3 weeks, start falling out around 14–16 weeks, and are fully replaced by adult teeth by about 6 months.

We use this in Shelter Medicine to help determine if kittens are old enough for certain vaccines and now you can use this chart to impress your friends with your kitten-age guessing skills!

It's brewing.
Bubbling and they're trying to tell you.
Reactivity isn't always explosive.
It builds.
Yes.... it may end with barking, lunges, screeches and growls, but that is often because we may have missed those little tell tale signs.

These are only some of the more common signals dogs can give.
There are plenty more... and they can happen in the blink of an eye.

That slight lowering of the head?
Did their mouth clamp shut?
Their tail bristle right out?

They are all signs they may be struggling to cope and they need your help.

Reactivity is nuanced and highly individual....but I hope this chart may give some clarity to those little "Hmmm why did you do that ?" moments.

Noticing these is half the "battle"

Dogs are asked to cope with a lot in our world.
We don't look at how change can affect them....until it does.
We have family staying ➡️ but your dog doesn’t know that until they walk in the door.
We go on vacation ➡️ your dog has no idea they’re about to stay at a kennel or have someone new in their space.
Then we're shocked by the regression.

"It was all going so well !"
It can be the smallest of things that can undo all the progress made.
For your dog though....those "little" changes can be huge.

➡️Overnight guests

➡️Construction next door

➡️More kids visiting, esp during school holidays

➡️Taking your dog to a friend’s place

All of these are ordinary to us..... and may be overwhelming to them.

Dogs won’t tell you they’re dehydrated—but their body will. 💧
Know what to look for when the heat kicks in.

🎶We're having a heat wave! 🎶 When temperatures are soaring, so are the dangers of overheating for our dogs. In some cases, extreme heat can be life-threatening. ⚠️

High temperatures can affect ALL dogs but be especially mindful of those with underlying health conditions and seniors.
