🚨 Heatstroke in Dogs – Know the Signs, Save a Life 🚨

Summer adventures are wonderful for our furry friends, but heatstroke can develop quickly and be life-threatening. As a dog walker, I take every precaution to keep pups safe, and I want you to know the signs, too.

🐾 Warning Signs of Heatstroke:

•Excessive panting or difficulty breathing

•Drooling more than usual

•Weakness, wobbliness, or collapse

•Bright red or pale gums

•Vomiting or diarrhea

•Confusion or unresponsiveness

🐶 If You Suspect Heatstroke:

•Move your dog to a cool, shaded area immediately

•Offer small amounts of cool (not ice-cold) water

•Cool them down with damp towels on their neck, belly, and paws – avoid soaking them in ice water as it can cause shock

•Call your vet right away – heatstroke is a medical emergency

🌡 Prevention Tips:

•Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day

•Always carry water

•Stick to shaded routes

Know your dog’s limits – brachycephalic breeds (like pugs & bulldogs) overheat more easily

Let’s keep tails wagging safely this summer! 🐕💧

🩺🐶 Canine First Aid Certificate Renewed! 🐾

Yesterday, I spent the day refreshing my skills at a Canine First Aid Course, and I'm proud to say my certification is officially renewed! ✅

From dealing with minor scrapes to more serious situations like choking or heatstroke, it’s so important to stay up-to-date on how to keep dogs safe in any emergency. This refresher has given me even more confidence to handle the unexpected while out on walks.

Your pups deserve the best care—and that means being prepared, always. 💜🐕

I'd like to once again thank Corinne at Perth Dog Training for Organising and hosting the event and to Alister and Margaret from Tillycroy Support Services for taking the course.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about what I learned or how I keep your pups safe on every adventure!

🐾 Flea & Tick Reminder for Our Furry Friends! 🐾

As your trusted dog walkers, we see a lot of pups every day—and we want to make sure they all stay healthy and happy. That’s why we’re sending out this friendly reminder: please make sure your dog is up-to-date on flea and tick treatments!

With all the outdoor adventures, grassy parks, and woodland trails, fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can spread diseases and cause serious discomfort for your pup. Regular preventative treatment helps protect not just your dog, but all the other dogs we walk too. 🐶💜

✅ Less itching
✅ Fewer vet visits
✅ More peace of mind
✅ Happier walks!

Let’s work together to keep our dog-walking pack safe and healthy all season long. 🐕💪

Have questions about what treatments are best? Your vet is the best place to start! 🐶💜💚

🏖Notice of Holiday 🏖

I'll be off -
Monday the 27th of May

As some of you already know, I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival next weekend and attempting the Half Marathon. 😬 whilst doing this, I'm hoping to raise £150 in aid of Dogs Trust.

A couple have already asked for the link for the Just Giving page, but if anyone else would like to donate, it would be hugely appreciated.
