New recruit to Happy Larry- Pet Services this week, Coco 💕🥰 such a beaut, reminds me of my precious Larry in her loving nature and a little nervous in certain situations 🐾
Looking forward to lots of lovely walks!

24/06/2024

It’s been a warm one! 🌞
But my regulars have happy faces!
🐾Short / slow walks in the shade in the morning before temperatures raised for toileting and a sniff about
🐾Pavement walking avoided wherever possible
🐾 plenty of water offered and fresh water provided
🐾 indoor cuddles / play

This week is looking like a warm one!
Keep walks short, and avoid hottest parts of the day.
Provide more enrichment opportunities e.g frozen ice blocks / kings containing dog friendly frozen “smoothies” / dog friendly ingredient “fruit cocktails” (Dogs Trust have some fab ideas on their website) 🕶️
For dogs struggling with the heat consider cooling pads and ensuring they’re in a well ventilated area / coolest part of the house for rest periods.

🌞🕶️🐶🐾

Most people believe it will never happen to their dog, yet every year dogs continue to die in hot cars ⚠️

Polling from the RSPCA (England & Wales) has revealed that only 58% of people would NOT leave their dog inside a car on a warm day, meaning more than 40% may potentially put their pets at risk!

Please don’t gamble with your dog’s life. Even if you're leaving them in the car for a minute or two, this could still lead to tragic consequences for your dog. Even if you're parked in the shade with the windows open, a car can still quickly heat up to dangerously high temperatures 🌡️

Remember: 'not long' is too long.

If you see a dog in a hot car showing signs of distress such as panting heavily, drooling excessively, appearing lethargic, drowsy or uncoordinated, collapsed or vomiting, dial 999 immediately.

Great cold weather advice from Hanne Grice Pet Training & Behaviour 🐾🐰🐈🐶

With the recent drop in temperature it’s important that not only you wrap up warm and take precautions when outside but that your pets stay happy and safe too. Here are some tips for pet owners during the winter season. Coats – whilst some dog breeds have a double coat and or are more suited [.....

Despite their furry coats, our little friends need extra TLC when the temperatures drop ❄️

As the cold weather starts to creep in, here are some tips from our Vets to keep your small furries warm 🥰

🌨️ If your pets normally live outdoors, bring them in to a sheltered area, that is away from draughts, such as a shed or car-free garage protected from rain and snow.
☀️ Even in cold weather, your pets need access to natural light and an exercise run.
🐹 Keep them cosy. All small pets should have extra bedding over winter so make sure there’s plenty, that it’s dry and very deep so they can snuggle right down.
🛏️ Place an animal-safe heat pad under their bedding for extra warmth.
🧊 Be sure to keep an eye on their water sources, ensuring they don't freeze.

A dog’s Christmas tree poem🎄
Source: Edition Dog Magazine

Oh Christmas Tree. A dog’s poem

In the glow of twinkling lights so bright,
A canine tale on this festive night.
Beneath the tree, a world so grand,
Sniffing presents on a holiday so grand.

Baubles dangle like toys to retrieve,
Tinsel tango, a dance I believe.
Ornaments shimmer, tempting my jaws,
Oh, the joy of breaking Santa’s laws!

Gifts wrapped up in festive delight,
But the real prize is the tree, oh so bright.
Barking carols to the star on high,
Santa Paws, I’m a good dog, don’t deny!

Mischief hidden in a furry disguise,
As I dash through the snow, a Christmas surprise.
Oh, tree of wonder, my canine dream,
Merry Woofmas to all, or so it may seem!

The end

Important reminders for dog owners during winter months

❄️🐾❄️

Rock Salt and Dogs

Rock Salt (sodium chloride) and grit are used to de ice roads and paths in the colder weather. While this is great for us, it can be dangerous for our dogs.

Not only can it cause pain and irritation to paws but, if ingested it can make a dog very poorly with high blood sodium levels leading to possible kidney damage. To try and prevent this, wash your dog's paws off immediately after a walk with warm water and dry thoroughly.

Symptoms of rock salt poisoning can be:
🔺Extreme thrist
🔺Vomiting
🔺Lethargy
🔺 Seizures

If you suspect your dog may have ingested rock salt or, notice any of the above symptoms, contact your vet immediately.
