This morning we received the sad news that Chester passed away. Chester has been a long time member of our gang and we will miss his cuddles and goofy personality. Chesters favourite thing to do at daycare was swim in the river and we'll miss seeing him enjoy the water. Rest in Peace Chester ❤️❤️

⚠️ HEATSTROKE IN DOGS – PLEASE READ ⚠️

With temperatures in Scotland reaching 24°C this week, we want to raise awareness about the very real dangers of heatstroke in pets.

Meet handsome Chester, who was treated yesterday as an emergency after suffering severe heatstroke. His temperature reached 40°C; dangerously high for a dog. Normal temperatures range from 37.5°C–39.2°C.

Chester arrived struggling to breathe, with grey mucous membranes indicating critically poor oxygenation. He required emergency treatment including active cooling, oxygen therapy and intubation.

Thankfully, after around an hour of intensive care, medication and active cooling, Chester began to improve. Seeing his colour return after oxygen support was a huge relief for everyone involved. His temperature returned to normal and he was monitored closely overnight in hospital. However, the outcome could very easily have been tragic.

Heatstroke can happen suddenly and is a life-threatening emergency.

🐾 Signs of heatstroke include:
Excessive panting
Difficulty breathing
Lethargy or collapse
Vomiting or diarrhoea
Drooling
Bright red, pale or grey gums
Weakness or confusion

❄️ If you suspect heatstroke:
Move your dog to a cool, shaded area immediately
Pour cool (not ice-cold) water over their body and coat
Use cool, wet towels UNDER the patient, not over them
Place wrapped ice packs beneath the body if available
Offer small amounts of cool water
Contact your vet immediately

⚠️ Important:
Avoid placing soaked towels over your dog, as this can trap heat and reduce effective cooling. Continuous monitoring is essential, as overcooling can also be dangerous.

Please remember:
🐶 Never leave dogs in cars
🐶 Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day
🐶 Take extra care with brachycephalic breeds, older dogs, overweight pets and those with underlying health conditions

If in doubt, seek veterinary advice immediately. Heatstroke can become fatal within minutes.

Today I received the devastating news that our gorgeous holiday pup, Abbie, crossed the rainbow bridge. At 14 years old, she had been spending her holidays with us since 2018. Whether she was exploring the outdoors or curled up for the cuddles she loved so much. I am going to miss her sweet wee face more than words can say. Sleep tight, Abbie
