In March 2024, the previous Government said it would make scanning, checking & reuniting lost & abducted pets more effective by introducing a central portal for approved users-vets, local authorities & police-to search all records instantly, instead of contacting databases individually.

Who's excited ? Come visit the best rescue ever ! 🥰

I may not be a pro dog groomer, but I still find it profoundly satisfying to get this much fluff off a pup within minutes of starting to brush them 🥰

(Plus a bonus colour palette with a couple of other fur burgers from other dogs !)

Banana's pool, a comic in four panels.

Panel 1: Huh, why is this pool empty ? The human had better fill it up soon !
Panel 2: Ahhhh that's better, some nice cooling water for my hot paws.
Panel 3: What ?! While I got distracted sniffing things the human emptied it again ! And it's only been full for an hour !
Panel 4: Oi you ! You'd better refill that pool right now or you're in for a ruff time !

In this horrible heat, who doesn't want a tasty cooling ice lolly ? Why not make your babies a "pup cup"? I spoon Greek yoghurt into a cupcake tray (great for healthy skin and shiny fur), add a sprinkle of chia seeds, and then a yummy topping. Usually I use berries (full of antioxidants), but here I've chopped up some apples, and you can top with any dog-friendly fruit or veg, or even dog treats !

Perfectly cooling, healthy and scrumptious so your pup can enjoy an ice lol alongside you 🥰

(Apologies for poor lighting, these were tucked into the freezer !)

Don't forget, if your little cutie patootie likes sunbathing and has tender pink skin on their snoot, tummy, or butt, try to apply dog-friendly suncream (no zinc please in case they lick it off !). Same goes for horses. Our precious friends can get sunburn too, so save them the discomfort, slap a bit of cream on ! 😎

Gosh, it's an absolute scorcher today and this weekend. Please be super duper careful with your pups, especially brachycephalic breeds, elderly, young or overweight dogs, but all dogs are at risk at these high temperatures. Walk early in the morning or late at night, and remember, missing a walk won't kill your dog - but going for one just might.

There are so many cooler alternative options, like playing in a paddling pool in the garden, giving them some tasty frozen treats, doing some puzzles and scent work inside, or working on training to keep that brain occupied. It's so much safer !

Please look after your precious fluffs and keep them out of the beating sun. Either that or you'd better be going out barefoot and wearing a thick fluffy coat yourself in solidarity ! 🤨

Methinks she might be a little bit warm ! 😂🫠
