Treat your dog to a bath and a groom before the real heat of summer sets in! When the coat gets matted it traps dirt and grease, it doesn’t dry as quickly when they get wet and can result in skin infections and a very smelly dog!

It’s shedding season so let’s talk about ‘shedding’!

A dog’s coat helps control their body temperature and protects their skin against the sun and other environmental elements.

When a dog’s hair stops growing, they will naturally lose it by shedding.

The amount and frequency of shedding will depend on several factors, including: health condition, breed, season and environment.

Although dogs naturally shed, hair loss can also be caused by stress or health issues. Here are a few of the most common causes of shedding in dogs and what you should look out for.

Seasonal Shedding

Dogs, especially double-coated breeds, typically shed their undercoats during the spring and fall. Undercoats ‘blow out’ in spring and autumn leaving it all over your home and it needs to be brushed out thoroughly.

Heavy-shedding breeds include: German Shepherds, Malamutes, Border Collies, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, Pomeranian, Akita, Husky.

What might seem like heavy shedding can be completely normal for some dogs, but it can also be the result of an underlying health condition.

Stress-Induced Shedding

If there’s been a big change in your dog’s environment, the amount of hair they shed can increase.

If you think your dog may be experiencing stress- or anxiety-induced shedding, speak to your vet. They can refer you to a qualified veterinary behaviorist.

Skin Issues

Certain skin disorders may also lead to hair loss and bald patches.

For example, an infestation of parasites, like fleas, lice, or mites, can cause excessive hair loss.

Ringworm, dermatitis, and certain types of fungal infections, immune diseases, and cancers can also cause hair loss

If you notice skin irritations, like bumps, scabs, or a rash, in addition to hair loss, speak with your veterinarian immediately.

Allergies

Allergies are another cause of shedding in dogs. Certain foods, medications, household cleaners, and grooming supplies may trigger allergic reactions in dogs.

Allergies can be due to: genetic, environmental, seasonal, flea or food reasons.

Your vet can help pinpoint the offending allergen and find the most effective treatment.

How Can I Manage My Dog’s Shedding?

While you can’t prevent a healthy dog from shedding normally, I can recommend grooming tools that will work with your dog’s coat type and to help reduce the amount of shedding and subsequent mess to your home.
Brushing your dog in order to keep the shedding under control can be time consuming and messy. I provide full deshed treatments which include a thorough brush out and a bath with a special deshedding shampoo. Your dog will thank you!

If anyone is interested in hoopers, there are some workshops coming up that still have space

⭐ 3 Hoopers Workshops! ⭐

Spaces available for the 12pm group!

These workshops are aimed at dogs with some hoopers experience and that are working at some distance from their handlers.

We will be looking at courses with challenge lines and bonus boxes, so great practise if you haven't encountered these yet or would like to practise using them.

Venue: Chiddingfold

Times: 10am - FULL

12pm - 3 spaces available.

Dates: 2nd August, 29th August, 26th September.

These workshops will be 1.5 hours.
3 workshops £65.

To book: email pawsinprogress24@yahoo.com or message the page 😊

I currently have some availability for regular walks for sociable dogs in Billingshurst/five oaks/Slinfold/warnham areas. Other areas within reasonable distance considered depending on days & time required.

Most walks are 2 - 4 dogs, currently limited to 2 households per walk.

If you are looking for a walker who will allow your dog to run wild and interfere with other walkers, dogs and animals, please keep looking... 😊 I’m happy to, & do, work on training all dogs that accompany me, in order that we can all enjoy our walks together, but any dogs that do not respond adequately to recall will be returned to leashes (my own included!)

I am happy to, & quite capable of, walking large breed dogs & find they enjoy the pace that I myself prefer.

I offer discounts for multiple dogs from one household & can also offer individual walks but slots for these are limited.

Foster was joined by his “brother” Finn on a walk last week... they had lots of fun but you can see from Foster’s face who is the most dominant of the two!

18/06/2020

Double trouble (Lohr & Dexi) out on their walk yesterday!

03/06/2020

I think we can safely say that Foster, for one, is happy to have the cooler weather! Just look at that face!

Hixie says “today is going to be hot!”

Take care of your furry friends (and their wild counterparts), keep them cool & have plenty of fresh water available!

Jump 'n' Touch Agility Club

Due to lockdown getting people to reevaluate priorities in life, when we return to training (whenever that may be!) it looks like we will have 3 training spaces. If you & your dog would like a space, please let me know. You will need to have had experience of all the equipment, and maybe just starting to think about competing.
We only train on Thursday evenings from 7pm.

29/05/2020

Foster & Rosie were practicing their social distancing yesterday... either that, or Foster thinks that’s his better side 😂

29/05/2020

It is still possible to find a spot to be out alone, my little piece of paradise that I’m sharing with Dexi & Lohr today 😊

22/05/2020

Foster & Rosie needed a paddle in the stream to cool off yesterday

18/05/2020

Dear old Charlie physically isn’t up to meeting up down at the park so we made the most of the sun on his driveway... still a treat-mad Labrador though, bless him!

15/05/2020

We’ve been blessed with some lovely weather during lockdown & my own dogs have enjoyed having me to themselves... I’m not sure they really want to share me again!

15/05/2020

Changes to government guidance made this week mean that I am now able to do some walking where required. Initially all walks will be done from home & no group walks. Further measures will be also be in place.

Billingshurst Parish Council

Dear clients, please note there are heat health warnings out for most of this week, most noticeably Tuesday through Thursday. I know that not everybody can make alternative arrangements for their dogs, but I would encourage those clients that can to do so & contact me regarding any changes to requirements for the week. For those that cannot, I will most likely be shortening walks on these days, and dogs may be out earlier than usual in an attempt to get all necessary outings complete before the hottest part of the day. Please remember that the welfare and wellbeing of your dogs are my top priority. Sincerely, Kerryn

Incident Information from WSCC Resilience and Emergencies Team
The Met Office has issued a Level 3 Heat Health Alert with a 90% probability of heat health criteria being met between 9.00am on Monday (22 July) and 9.00am on Friday (26 July) in parts of England.
View the full warning at the Met Office Heat Health Watch site.
Hot weather can affect your health. The people most likely to be affected are the elderly, the very young, and people with pre-existing medical conditions.
If you know or look after someone that may be susceptible to the effects of this hot weather period please help make sure that they stay cool and well, and if possible check in advance that they are prepared for this hot spell.
Please follow this advice to keep cool and comfortable and reduce health risks:
• Shut windows and pull down the shades when it is hotter outside. If it's safe, open them for ventilation when it is cooler.
• Avoid the heat: stay out of the sun and don't go out between 11.00am and 3.00pm (the hottest part of the day).
• Keep rooms cool by using shades or reflective material outside the windows. If this isn't possible, use light-coloured curtains and keep them closed (metallic blinds and dark curtains can make the room hotter).
• Have cool baths or showers, and splash yourself with cool water.
• Drink cold drinks regularly, such as water and fruit juice. Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol.
• Plan ahead to make sure you have enough supplies, such as food, water and any medications you need.
• Identify the coolest room in the house so you know where to go to keep cool.
• Wear loose, cool clothing and a hat if you go outdoors.
