Our lovely boy popping by to ask a very big favour 🙌

We are getting more and more interest and enquiries every week which is really amazing, we are overjoyed with the progress the business is making and so we would really appreciate it if anyone who hasn’t already done so could give us a review on our page if you have a spare minute 💕 These reviews are really reassuring for our new clients and allow them to hear from some of our other furry friends owners about the work we do! Thank you very much to all of you we love our ever growing Star Walks family immensely ❤️🐾

Hello lovely Star Walks family. A bit of a different post today.. as some of you will know this beautiful girl was our Storm. She lived an incredibly healthy life without a single problem popping up for 11 years!

On the 9th of August we noticed her acting different to her usual self, isolating herself from the other dogs, panting more than normal and just generally seeming uncomfortable. We thought maybe she was just feeling under the weather, she was an old dog for a shepherd so we decided to see how she did over night.

She slept in my room every night and so she came in as normal and we both went to sleep but i woke up at around 2am to Storm panting and fidgeting around at the end of my bed, on a usual night she would have been fast asleep so i knew something was definitely wrong. I had a feel of her tummy and it was obviously very tender, swollen and hot. I had heard of Pyometra from my animal care courses vet nursing module and knew how horrific and painful it was for the animal suffering from it and so i was hoping and praying that it wasn’t that.

The next morning we took her to the vet and the she instantly confirmed my worst nightmare and gave us our options 1. take the chance of putting her through surgery which, with an older dog, is a major risk or 2. say goodbye to our beautiful girl. We knew we couldn’t put her through surgery so we made the incredibly difficult decision to say goodbye.

Now for the most important part. Pyometra is an infection of the uterus which can lead to kidney failure and other life threatening conditions. It is incredibly painful and if left untreated will lead to death. The one thing that will prevent it? Simply spay your dog. If you don’t you could go through the same heartbreaking loss that we did, a perfectly healthy dog one day and saying goodbye the next.

I had heard of pyometra in college but didn’t ever think it would take my own dog, a lot of people haven’t even heard of it and so I am posting this in the hope that it will help even one dog out there. Please spay your lovely lady doggies before they are too old to go through the procedure, it could give you a few more years with them like we wish we could have had.

I have added a few information photos about the condition and would be really grateful if you could all share this to spread the word on the condition so that more people are aware of it 💕

Well while Brooke has been having an amazing time in South Africa, I have had some beautiful walks in the wonderful autumn sunshine. Also managed a few days off 🥰. Brooke returns on Wednesday and will probably be mostly using all our lovely Star Walks dogs to keep warm😂 It’s been 34 degrees some days where she is🥵

This week we said goodbye to a wonderful member of our star walks family. Hugo may have been an old man but my gosh did he have a great personality! I (Brooke) had the pleasure of dog sitting this wonderful boy several times and I enjoyed every second that I spent with him which was mostly spent sat on the floor having cuddles and play time. His brothers are going to miss him so much but we know that he is having a wonderful time running around over the rainbow bridge 🌈❤️

All of your wonderful pooches have been getting into the spooky mood over the last few days and did a little bit of dressing up for the occasion!! 🧡🖤

some dogs won’t have a care in the world about halloween but for our more nervous pooches it can be a really stressful time of year! Here are some tips on making it a little bit easier for them 🎃

I truly believe we have the best job in the world 🥰 Getting to watch all of your lovely doggys playing and just generally being dogs is what this job is all about ❤️

With the weather starting to turn colder and the rain starting to increase (even more than the last few months) we ask that if anybody has coats that they would like their dogs to be wearing on our soggy adventures to please leave them out where we can find them. This way your pooches can come home as clean and dry as possible (most of the time 😂) 🌧️

If anybody has any dog towels that they would like us to use could those please be left out too. We do have some coats and an abundance of towels however with our constantly growing star walks family and our own pooches we sometimes can’t get them washed and dried in time for the next day! ☔️

This message is bought to you by our lovely Storm in her rain coat who we miss very much ❤️
