☀️ Scorching Temps, Cool Pets! 🐾
It’s a blazer of a week out there, and just like us, our furry friends feel the heat! 🌡️🐶🐱🐭

Here’s Bramble, one of our superstar working spaniels, modelling his cooling coat like a pro! 💙 Isn’t he looking cool in every sense of the word?

🔥 Top Tips to Keep Pets Safe in the Heat 🔥

🐕 Dogs – Walk early morning or late evening to avoid hot pavements. Cooling coats, shaded rest, and plenty of fresh water are musts!
🐈 Cats – Keep curtains drawn, leave out extra water bowls, and offer cooling mats or frozen water bottles wrapped in a towel to lounge near.
🐹 Small furries – Move hutches/cages out of direct sunlight, keep ice packs nearby (well covered!), and avoid overhandling in peak heat.

💧Hydration, shade, and keeping calm are key! If it’s too hot for you, it’s definitely too hot for them.

Stay safe, stay cool – and if you're stuck or worried, Meg's Mutts & Moggs is just a message away! 💌🐾

🐶🐱 Here’s to the dads who always have a p**p bag in their pocket and fur on their clothes. You’re the real MVPs.

🌹Spring has sprung... and so have the puppies!🏵️

There’s something magical about this season — longer days, blossoms on the trees, baby lambs.. and the pitter patter of tiny paws!

One of our lovely clients has snuck us a sneak peek at a Springer Spaniel that has welcomed a beautiful litter, and we couldn't resist sharing a peek at these adorable bundles of joy. 🐶💕

Springer Spaniels are truly a joy to be around — originally bred as gun dogs, they’re known for their intelligence, loyalty, and keen noses. That means they’re highly trainable, eager to please, and full of energy. Whether it’s long countryside walks, agility training, or just a good old-fashioned game of fetch, these dogs are always up for an adventure.

But don’t let their working roots fool you — Springers are also incredibly affectionate, thriving in active family homes where there’s plenty of love (and ideally a muddy puddle or two). 😄

With the right balance of stimulation and snuggles, these pups grow into devoted companions that bring joy wherever they go.

Let’s just say… this little litter won’t be small for long, and big adventures may be in their not-too-distant future. 🐾💛👀🏠

🐕‍🦺 Let’s Talk Dog Play – Not All Play is the Same! 🎾

At Meg’s Mutts & Moggs, we see every kind of play style under the sun– and it’s one of the best parts of our job! 🐾 But did you know that a dog’s breed, size, training, and personality all shape how they like to interact with others?

Some dogs are full-on wrestlers 🧸, while others prefer a good game of chase 🐕💨, and some are happiest just observing from the sidelines. And it’s all perfectly normal!

🔍 Here’s why play styles differ;

🐕 Breed background:

* Herding breeds (like Collies or Heelers) often like to “circle” or “nip” during play – it’s in their DNA!
* Gun dogs (like Labs or Spaniels) tend to enjoy fetch and more gentle play.
* Terriers and toy breeds might prefer quick, zoomy games or engaging with people over other dogs.

🧠 Personality & upbringing:
Some dogs are social butterflies, while others are a little shy or selective. Early experiences and training play a huge role here.

📏 Size and confidence:
Big dogs might play rougher without realising, and smaller dogs can get overwhelmed – even if they’re brave as lions! 🦁

✨ That’s why it’s so important to understand your dog’s natural play style and comfort zone when socialising. It helps prevent misunderstandings, builds confidence, and leads to better friendships – canine and human!

At Meg’s Mutts & Moggs, we always tailor group walks and social time to suit each dog’s needs. We believe in safe, positive play – not just “all dogs together and hope for the best.”

Want to know more about your dog’s play style or need help with structured social walks? We’re always happy to chat!

Warmer days, wagging tails, longer walks, and fields full of tall grass and curious critters – we love this time of year at Meg’s Mutts & Moggs! 🐾🐶🐱

But with all the new life and fresh air comes a not-so-cute part of spring... fleas, ticks, and worms. 😬 These pesky parasites thrive in the warmer months and can be picked up during even the most joyful of strolls.

Here are some simple steps to help keep your furry friend safe this season:

✅ Stay up to date with flea and worming treatments – your vet can recommend the best options for your pet's age, size, and lifestyle.
🌿 Natural support like neem oil sprays, garlic (in very small doses and only if safe for your pet), and herbal flea collars can offer extra protection – but always check with a professional first! There are also herb mixes available from qualified herbalists and pet herbal companies.
🧼 Regular grooming and checks – especially after woodland walks – help spot any unwanted hitchhikers early.
🌾 Keep your garden grass trimmed to reduce tick hangouts!

Prevention is key, and a little care goes a long way in keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching happily. 🐕🐈💚

Need help with walkies or someone to check on your pets during the day? We’re here and loving every minute of this spring season! 🌼

Ever wondered what ringcraft is all about? 🐾👔

If you’re thinking of showing your dog—or just want to build their confidence and handling skills—ringcraft classes are a fantastic place to start!

Ringcraft is all about teaching dogs (and their humans!) how to present themselves in the show ring. From perfecting the stand to smooth lead work and being calmly examined by a judge, it's a brilliant way to boost your dog's focus, confidence, and bond with you.

It’s not just for seasoned show-goers either—beginners are always welcome and it's loads of fun! Whether you're prepping for your first local show or just want to try something new, ringcraft is a supportive, social space to learn and grow together.

There are some great local clubs offering ringcraft:
- Hempton Dog Training Group – Monday evenings
- M4P at Rackheath– Friday evenings
- Dereham Dog Academy– occasional ringcraft clubs (keep an eye out for dates!)

If you’re curious or want help getting started, drop me a message—I’m always happy to chat dogs!
