Andddddddd relax... Happy Caturday! 🐱

As the UK has been rumoured to hit a heatwave over the next few days, we thought we would include some hot weather tips for our canine friends!

We humans may love the warm and sunny weather, but hot days aren't as much fun for our dogs. Dogs often suffer from heat-related stress and are susceptible to heat stroke, which can be fatal. To prevent this, it's important to know how to keep them cool and comfortable during hot spring and summer months.

🌞 We can’t stress enough how vital this is: never, ever leave your dog alone in a car - even if it's just for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a non-moving car can rise to dangerous heights, incredibly quickly, even with the window cracked open.

🌞 Avoid exercising your dog during the hottest parts of the day - usually between 11am and 4pm. During this time, try to keep them indoors where it's cool and shaded, and where they have access to a bowl of fresh drinking water.

🌞 We all enjoy delicious frozen treats during the summer, so why not let your dog join in the fun? A frozen Kong toy will do a great job of cooling down your dog, and will keep them entertained too. You could also give them an ice cube or two (Not human ice lollies or ice cream!)

🌞 Being furry might be an advantage in winter but it’s a hindrance during the summer!
If your dog's fur is extra-thick, long, or even dark, why not get them to the groomers for a refreshing trim? This will help keep them cooler.

Knowing the signs and symptoms of heatstroke could very well save your dog’s life. It's important to act quickly if your dog displays any of these signs:

Heavy panting
Bright pink/red tongue or gums
A lolling tongue
Lethargy and reluctance to exercise
Vomiting
Dizziness and stumbling

If you think your dog is showing signs of overheating or suffering from heatstroke, contact your vet right away.

Daffodils, the facts 🌼

Daffodils are toxic to dogs and cats, and you should be careful if you have them growing on your lawn or if you’re walking your dog through a field that’s full of them. Daffodils contain small crystals that can cause severe tissue irritation.

Symptoms of daffodil poisoning include:
Nausea
Drooling
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Increased heart rate
Abnormal breathing
Abdominal pain

If you think your pet may have been in contact with daffodils or is showing any of these symptoms, contact your local vet ASAP.

Today is World Spay Day!

Did you know that recent research has shown that 70% of cat litters in the UK are unplanned?

Aside from preventing pregnancy, neutering your cat can have the following benefits:

🐱 It's been found to decrease the risk of certain illnesses like FIV and Feline Leaukaemia. This is due to a decrease in behavior that can spread these diseases, such as fighting.

🐱 Spaying will eliminate any pregnancy or birth-related risks in female cats.

🐱 It helps to reduce the number of stray cats in the UK each year.

🐱 It's also important to neuter males too! Castrated male cats are less likely to roam - and therefore less likely to get hurt, go missing or become injured in a fight.

Happy Love your pet day! ❤️
