Good morning all,
HEATWAVE ADVICE

Although it is nice to have some sun for a change, our furry friends don't cope well with the heat.
I am monitoring the weather and the next 2 days are going to get very hot.
The welfare of your dogs is paramount.
So I am still open, however I will be trying to move more at risk of heatstroke dogs, to either another day or earlier in the day. The sessions will also be adjusted to prevent over exertion and over heating in the heat.
They will also be showered in cool water and left damp to travel home.
Please contact me to rearrange your appointment if you are concerned that it is too hot for your dog.

When travelling to your appointment please consider the following to keep them cool;

💧 Carry plenty of water with you.

🚿 shower/dampen your dog with cool water before you get in the car to keep them cool on the way here. And when you get home to keep them cool.

Aircon or windows open to keep the car cool.

Cool mats, jackets or cool wet towel for them to lie on to keep cool is ideal if you have them.

Please park outside the unit so they don't have to walk too far on the hot carpark.

If you have any concerns please do get in touch.

Enjoy the sun 🌞 but keep yourselves and your dog 🐕 safe and hydrated. 😎

It's always lovely to hear how your clients are getting on with various activities but this one has just made my day.
Luger is a working flatcoat retriever who wasn't that confident getting in to water despite being an amazing swimmer. So I have been working in the pool with her to build her confidence.
(One of her owners was a bit skeptical at first but I think he may have changed his mind now 😀)

Well done Luger you super Star 🌟

Owner says;

"Hi Kerry ☺️
I just wanted to let you know that Luger went out this morning to do a mixed gundog training class, which included water retrieving ... and was brilliant 👏.. she flew off the banks very confidently and impressed Steve, who was running it 😀 but more importantly, Paul! She did at least 6 retrieves and didn't hesitate once.
So, huge thanks for all of your hard work with Luger. Paul made sure to let the class know that K9hydrofit was instrumental in building her water confidence 🥳 xx.
You are amazing, and thanks again xx. L "

If you have a dog that you would like to get confident in water please do get in touch. 🐾

Love this from The Physio Vet Nurse ❤️

Fabulous ideas to enhance your dog's walks without the need for ball throwing.

(Excellent alternative use of the ball chucker to catch urine samples 🤣🙈)

Ball chuckers..... Love them or Hate them?

I actually don't hate them BUT it's for a different reason.

So using a ball thrower though being able to throw a ball really far it encourages dogs to run as fast as possible, brace their forelimbs to stop and then rush off again. This repetitive movement eventually causes soft tissue and joint damage which contributes to painful arthritis... hence why veterinary professionals hate them!

BUT they make an excellent urine collector or you can fill it with cheese paste and use it to assist with reactive dogs when walking as a distraction and for heel training.

The main argument for people using ball throwers is to give their dogs stimulation during their walk and to wear them out.

Here's some alternatives to repetitive ball throwing to make your dog's walk more stimulating:

🐶 Take different walk routes - New walks provide a mixture of new sights, smells and sounds.

🐶 Let your dog sniff - Sniffing provides lots of information to dogs about what people and pets have been around. Up to 5 minutes of sniffing can be more tiring than a 1 hour walk! You can help encourage this by spreading treats in long grass for your pet to find.

🐶 Meet a friend - meeting friends with dogs can provide social interactions and someone to have the zoomies with.

🐶 Bring a mixture of foods/treats - Just like new places, different foods and treats can give lots of mental stimulation through smells and taste.

I think that Ruff & Tumble Dog Drying Coats are the best, ( I have tried a good few others over the years) which is why they are stocked at K9Hydrofit.
If we don't have the size, colour, style you want I can order it in.

How does a Drying Coat dry a dog?

It's a common misconception to think that our Drying Coats absorb wet and then sit on the dog wet.

Unlike plastic microfibre coats or single layer coats, which are commonplace, a Ruff and Tumble coat is made of TWO layers of COTTON TOWELLING.

The two layers actively wick, or pull, water from fur. Single-layered coats cannot do this. The dog's heat helps to transfer or push wet from the inner layer to the outer layer, keeping the dog warm as it dries.

The difference between cotton towelling and microfibre is that cotton towelling is natural and breathable as against synthetic and sweaty. No one is ever going to convince us that microfibre is better - if it was how is it that us humans prefer the feel of cotton towels? Unsurprisingly dogs do too!

Ruff and Tumble - the original and best Drying Coat for dogs.

Good morning everyone.
I have some exciting news for you all. Some of you will already know.

I have wanted to expand the services that I can provide and diversify my little business.
As some of you are probably aware I have been having the upstairs level of K9Hydrofit refurbished and kitted out to be a training/ meeting room. (Watch this space for photos)

So this weekend I went across to Norwich for some training yesterday.

I am very excited to tell you all that I am now a fully qualified and licenced Pet First Aid Instructor.

This means that I can now teach Level 3 Pet First aid courses to owners and professionals.
As this a level 3 course it means that you will gain a level 3 qualification in pet first aid, and if you are a professional animal care provider it will count as CPD.

Pretty cool hey! 🤩

Keep your eyes peeled for course dates and more information on the courses.

14/03/2024

Date for your diaries!

I'll be helping out with the judging and the dog show.
Come down and a great cause.

Purdey loves her monthly fitness swims.
She also loves nothing more than splashing aunty Kerry when she has the toy!

Purdey has been coming for fitness and confidence swims since 2020.

It helps keep her in tip top condition for all the activities she takes part in, including obreediance as part of the Labrapaws team at Evesham Dog Training, they will be competing at Crufts on Thursday so if you are there go and give them a cheer.

Some very sad news tonight that we have lost another k9hydrofit family member.
The winter months are always difficult and when we lose a beloved family member it makes it even more difficult.
We lost Bella the labradoodle age 14 before Christmas and this month we have sadly lost Saffy the labrador age 10, Otter the flat coat retriever age 9 and very sadly far too soon, Brodie the flatcoat age 6. 😢😢

Please keep their Families in your thoughts this evening and give your dogs an extra cuddle tonight. 🐶♥️

It doesnt matter what age they are, they are with us for such a short time but give us unconditional love and a lifetime of memories ♥️

I highly recommend bowen therapy as it has worked wonders for me.

Carole at The Bowen Clinic is fabulous.

Bear Grylls uses Bowen Therapy to remove stress, reduce pain and stay in peak performance.
Bear says, “With the slightest squiggle of her fingers, it felt like petrol was being put back in my tank, and I could feel all the stress seeping away.”
If Bowen can help extreme adventurers like Bear Grylls stay healthy and in peak performance, what could it do for you?
For more information or to book an appointment you can contact us via social media or call/text 07950 792900

Polite notice.

With all the mud around currently could I ask that when you bring your dogs for hydro that you clean them off before you come. (Most of you do)
We do shower them off before they get in the pool, but it does take alot longer to shower mud off especially hairy dogs which then shortens your dog's hydro session.
Also it means extra cleaning and chemicals being used to keep the pool sanitised and clean which we would rather not have to use.

Also please avoid walking in the orchard next door while it is so wet as it is Currently a mud pit 🙈

It would be much appreciated.

Thank you 😊
