Professor Jeffrey here…
We need to talk about something super important!

Heat stress…it’s a serious risk for us pets at this time of year! It can be life threatening.

Accidents happen, we can be forgotten. It’s a terrible way to go…a lot of suffering for us.

Never leave us in cars, no matter how quick your trip to the shops or friends place is. It doesn’t take long and we can be literally cooked…don’t take us for walks in the heat of the day or on hot paths where we can burn our paws…

We’re your best friends, remember to keep us inside in the cool on hot days, always have fresh water available for us, leave us in the care of responsible adults and check on us regularly.





In loving memory of all the pets who we’ve lost to heat stress. May we not see another pet suffer in this way. 🙏

I love spending time with your dogs and providing a good grooming experience in my home rather than a busy salon.

My services are available for small to medium dogs.

It’s been a busy week here at The Canine Collective!

Grooming, holiday minding AND we added a new member to the pack.

Meet Willow!

A Prize for the first person to guess the four breeds mixed in!

We’ve already had a trip to the Vets to vomit as she decided to eat some of her puppy p*e pad! 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

A good reminder to puppy proof your home well and expect they may eat the expected! 🐾🤔

A little insight into what it’s like for your dog to have TPLO surgery to repair their cruciate.

It’s a pretty common injury among dogs.

A very Merry Christmas to all my wonderful clients and your dogs 💕
Say Hi to your dogs for me and hope you have a great time with family and friends!

Tick awareness! So important to make sure your pets are up to date with prevention!

Some options? Seresto collar, Bravecto top spot or chew, Nexgard, Simparica…

Please watch till the end to see a dog that is suffering from tick paralysis and is needing oxygen to breathe. This is not rare, this is common for tick paralysis cases. It’s a rough ride that requires high care and also high costs because of the intensive care needed.

To avoid this being your pet keep prevention up to date, check for ticks regularly and avoid letting dogs run in very grassy or bushy areas in tick season (warmer months).

Prevention is key!

If you are concerned about your dog having tick paralysis don’t wait, call your Veterinarian immediately to seek advice.
