I was just gone for 5 minutes! BUT It can take as little as 6 minutes for a dog to die in a hot car was that errand worth it?

Canine herpesvirus (CHV) is a widespread infection that poses a serious risk to breeding dogs and their puppies.

While adult dogs often show only mild or no symptoms, the virus can cause devastating outcomes in pregnant bi***es, including miscarriage, stillbirth, and fading puppy syndrome.

Vaccination is recommended for breeding females, as it helps the mother produce antibodies that are passed to her puppies through the first milk (colostrum), offering them vital early protection

The vaccine is typically given during heat or shortly after mating, and again before whelping.

Though it doesn’t prevent infection entirely, it significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and death in new born pups, making it a valuable tool in responsible breeding programmes.

Why go ultrasonic?

It’s all well and good starting a new oral health routine for your pet, but what if they are already showing signs of gingivitis and tartar buildup?

Veterinary dental treatment can be costly and stressful for your pet.

Ultrasonic toothbrushes are a revolutionary tool designed to make pet dental care easier and more effective.

Often available as a service at groomers or you can buy your own.

Donating blood is one of the most impactful ways your dog can help save lives.

Just like in human medicine, dogs sometimes need blood transfusions due to surgery, injury, or illness.

Pet Blood Bank UK provides a vital service by collecting and supplying blood to veterinary practices across the country.

Each donation can help save up to four other dogs, making your pet a true lifesaver.

The process is safe, quick, and stress-free, and donor dogs are always well cared for and rewarded with treats and cuddles.

If your dog is healthy, over 25kg, and enjoys meeting new people, they could be the perfect candidate to join this lifesaving cause.

Unlike may warmer countries the UK experiences more frequent temperature fluctuations, dogs can take 4 weeks to acclimatise to changes in temperature

So it’s essential to ensure our pets stay comfortable and safe during warmer weather.

Dogs are also particularly vulnerable to heat due to their limited ability to sweat, relying primarily on panting and their paw pads to regulate body temperature.

Here are some practical tips to help keep your dog cool and happy during those hot days.

** DOG SHOW UPDATE**
POSTPONED TO LATER IN THE YEAR

We are sad to announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the dog show at Wicken Fete due to the high temperatures predicted for this Saturday.

The rest of the Fete will continue as planned, with activities for all the family, music, vintage cars, stalls, amazing raffle prizes and more, so please do still come along and get involved this weekend without your dogs.

The welfare of the dogs is of top priority for us. High temperatures can be very dangerous for dogs and as it is predicted to reach up to 30 degrees, it is not safe for us to proceed as planned. This has been a very hard decision for us all, but animal welfare does come first. All those who have pre-paid for entry will be reimbursed by Hotdogs over the coming few days

We are rescheduling the dog show to later in the year , so please keep an eye out.
