This week, our dog of the week is... The Cocker Spaniel! 🐾

Did you know:
▪️ Cocker Spaniels are bouncy, playful, active dogs and popular family pets as well as working dogs
▪️ They are HIGH energy, the breed's name gives us insight to their original function - to hunt woodcock!
▪️ They are intelligent and eager to learn. Like all dogs, they have a super sense of smell but, because of their original job, Cocker Spaniels have particularly excellent sniffing abilities! A Cocker Spaniel was in fact the first cancer-detecting dog
▪️ Two strains of Cocker Spaniels exist today. Working Cockers, which as the name suggests have been primarily bred for their working ability, and Show Cockers where breeders over time have focussed on the looks and general temperament, with less interest in stamina.

What are your Cocker Spaniel's favourite activities? 🐶

Grapes and raisins can cause severe kidney problems in some dogs, though we don’t know exactly why. Recently the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center suggested that tartaric acid may be the part of grapes that cause them to be toxic to pets, but more research is required.

Not all dogs seem to be affected by this, however for some dogs, it only takes a very small amount to cause problems. We do know that dried forms of grapes - such as raisins, sultanas and currants - seem to be more toxic to dogs. Because of this, extra care should be taken with foods like mince pies, fruit cakes and hot cross buns, as dogs can find them very tasty!

What are the signs of grape and raisin poisoning?
In severe cases, symptoms can come on very quickly, but normally they take between 24 and 72 hours to start. They include:
▪️ Vomiting
▪️ Diarrhoea
▪️ Changes in drinking and weeing
▪️ Drooling
▪️ Lack of appetite
▪️ Weakness/wobbliness
▪️ Excessive tiredness
▪️ Blood in wee, vomit or poo

The best thing to do is to contact a vet as soon as possible. It can be helpful to take the food packaging with you to show the vet.

You sometimes hear of one therapy dog, but this is a duo team of labradoodle siblings – aiming to help children one tail wag at a time!

This pair of Labradoodles called Mac and Millie are specially trained therapy dogs.

They are currently helping pupils at Fleming Fulton School and Harberton School with all aspects of their learning, and to develop their communication, motivation and social skills.

Both Mac and Millie were trained by Assistance Dogs Northern Ireland and have been working in the schools for a few months.

Thankfully the two schools are next to each other so the furry siblings can keep in touch!

The staff report the dogs help as quiet, non-judgmental companions who help with all aspects of learning from school room to the children's physio sessions too. We think this wonderful pair deserve a superdog title!

Happy Monday everyone, we wish you all a pawtastic week 🐾

(This is Luna, enjoying the fabulous weather we've been experiencing in the UK last week. As it's been so hot in the day time, some 7am fun on the beach before the temperatures soar has been very well received!)

Socialising your puppy teaches them how to behave and interact appropriately with humans and other dogs. This is really important for their long term wellbeing!

The breeder has an important role to play in providing socialisation opportunities until puppies leave for their homes.

An enriched, stimulating environment with plenty of items for the puppies to explore, as well as regular human contact and handling are fundamental for optimum puppy development.

If you are focused on socialising your pup before they are fully vaccinated, try these tips:
🐶 Puppies can be carried out-and-about during this time so they can watch activity and the world around them
🐶 Sit with them on the front doorstep and feed them a treat every time a person, dog, cyclist etc appears
🐶 Take them out for short car journeys to watch a different part of the world from a safe environment
🐶 Take a bed or blanket and sit in a coffee shop, or place a picnic mat in a park away from other dogs - this will enable lots of new experiences for your pup!

The best thing you can teach your puppy is that they will always be safe around you - concentrate on building trust and engagement with you throughout the process of socialising them.

Meet Thelma! She is a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel 🐾

What she likes: her family and friends, running and playing, especially if a squeaky ball is involved! She also loves an ear massage and using her nose to follow scents .She is very partial to applying 'Eau de Fox Poo’ if she thinks she can get away with it!

What she dislikes: She really isn't a fan of baths, getting her teeth brushed, strangers, and some teenage boy dogs!

Thelma was from the RSPCA so we don’t know her family history but we think she is more of a Working Cocker strain. She’s very intelligent but a bit of an overthinker and her energy has to be channelled into the right things - It has taken some time to find her ‘off switch’! She has just started agility training and is loving it.

Any dog can get heat stroke but there are definitely dogs who are more prone to it!

In one study, brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs like French bulldogs, English bulldogs, Dogue de Bordeaux and pugs represented a high proportion of dogs taken to the vets because of exercise related heat stroke.

Other dogs who may struggle include thick or long coated dogs, elderly or young dogs, dogs who have underlying health conditions and overweight dogs.

Be extra vigilant with these but don’t think that your short haired, lean dog isn't at risk – still take precautions to keep them cool.

This week, our dog of the week is... Staffies! 🐾

Did you know? 👇
🐾 The Staffordshire Bull Terrier shares the same ancestry as the Bull Terrier (Bulldog crossed with the Black and Tan terrier). However, since these early days, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier has changed a lot - now they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes!

🐾 Despite being originally bred for fighting, the modern Staffordshire Bull Terrier is known for being people orientated and, when in the right hands, an excellent family dog.

Typical traits:
🐾 Staffies are a very popular pet in the UK and it is easy to see why – they are charismatic, strong and energetic.

🐾 These dogs do require lots of mental stimulating, positive training and exercise to keep them occupied – but at night, many love nothing more than to snuggle up with the family on the sofa!

🐾 They can be known for being vocal – with a typical staffy ‘chatter’ when they get over excited.

Who here owns a Staffordshire bull terrier – tell us a little more about them below!👇

What can you do to help your dog in the heat?

Problems arise when dogs over heat and their body can no longer regulate their body temperature to cool them. Remember dogs can't sweat, they cool themselves by panting.

1. Dogs should NEVER be outside where they have no access to shade. They should always have access to plentiful cool, clean water. Inside should be well ventilated with access to water. Some dogs may even enjoy a fan or a cool paddling pool in the summer!

2. Dogs should not exercise excessively in the heat of the day, or go on long walks where there is little rest or shade in excessive heat. Some dogs are more prone to heat-related illness and next week we will tell you who is most at risk

3. Walk your pooches in the morning and late evening before the sun warms up, always take plenty of water to allow them to drink and try to keep them calm as possible ( avoid constant ball chasing for example).

New evidence suggests that breed of your dog doesn’t explain why they act the way they do!

After examining data from more than 18,000 dogs, researchers have reached an interesting conclusion: breed doesn’t necessarily determine why they behave the way they do!

The findings indicate that no behaviour is unique to any one breed and that there is a lot of variability in behaviour within breeds too.

Having said that, some common traits were found to be more heritable than others, such as howling and the disposition to retrieve objects.

One researcher Morrill stated: “For example, Siberian huskies are much more likely to howl than any other dogs,”

What does your dog do that’s quite typical of their breed? Let us know in the comments below!

First off, what is kennel cough? Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease which dogs often catch at places where there are large groups other dogs. E.g. boarding and daycare facilities, dog parks, training groups, and dog shows. This is why the kennel cough vaccination is so important! Lots of dogs however can find the kennel cough vaccination a little bit stressful, but thankfully, training them through positive reinforcement can change this! Here is a step-by-step guide to help your dog familiarise themselves with the syringe and make the vaccination a much less stressful process for them: Step 1 Grab your dogs favourite treats and a pen/syringe (your vet may be able to give you one to practice) Step 2 Introduce the object in a positive and fun way like throwing some treats down around it! Step 3 Get your dog comfortable being on their side Step 4 Teach your dog to nose touch by holding your hand out as a target and reward them with a treat when they touch your hand. Step 5 This can now be transferred to the pen/syringe Step 6 Now get your dog to do the same on their side and step by-step slowly start introducing the syringe in their nose Step 7 Now try doing it with air in the syringe Don’t forget that the kennel cough vaccination process still has to be administered by a vet - this is just a positive reinforcement training to help your dog feel less stressed when they have to come in for the vaccination!
