Did you know? Human suncream is toxic to our pets.

Donʼt worry though, pet safe suncream is available to protect your pets from sunburn.

We would recommend applying pet safe suncream to any parts of your pet that has pink skin showing on sunny days if they spend time outside - black and white or fully white cats with are a prime example!

Unprotected continued exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer.

We all love a day at the seaside with our four-legged friends, but letʼs make sure weʼre keeping our beaches safe, clean and fun for everyone.

✅ Pick up after your dog - and dispose of poo bags properly
✅ Be observant of restrictions - not all beaches allow dogs
all year round
✅ Keep your dog under control - use a lead in busy areas or near wildlife
✅ Donʼt let your dog approach others without checking first not every dog or person wants to say hello
✅ Watch out for heatstroke - take breaks for shade and fresh water, and stay out of the intense midday sun
✅ Never let your dog drink seawater - small amounts can cause vomiting or diarrhoea and large amounts can have dangerous consequences

Most importantly - have fun and enjoy the sand and surf!

Itʼs grass seed season! These barbed seeds easily attach to fur and can burrow into the skin, causing pain and infection.

Here are some prevention tips:
🌱Avoid areas with long grass during summer.
🌱Trim coats, especially around feet, ears, and between toes – particularly important for breeds like spaniels.
🌱After walks, check your dog thoroughly and remove any visible seeds
