Another beautiful review - Thank You Karen & Biscuit ###

I’d been searching for doggy daycare for my boy for so long, not many people will take intact males. From my initial contact with Julia, I had a positive feeling that this was going to work.

We did the initial meet and greet to ensure that both my boy, Julia’s and other people’s doggies were all comfortable with one another. Julia’s home is stunning, and so welcoming.

Biscuit went for his first day the following week, and we haven’t looked back, and I only wish I’d found Julia sooner. I was more nervous than Biscuit, as I don’t trust many people to look after my boy

I love how Julia treats every dog as her own, the attention she gives them throughout their day is second to none. Regular photo and video updates are a lovely touch, and it’s so lovely to see all the doggies playing together

Biscuit clearly loves his time there each week, and comes home very tired after his busy play date!

⚠️ Be aware of blue-green algae ⚠️
With the hot, sunny weather fast approaching, it's possible for your local streams, lakes, rivers, estuaries and sea to be contaminated with blue-green algae.

Many blue-green algae contain, or make, a number of different toxins. These toxins are often harmful to dogs, and can even be deadly. Dogs are most commonly exposed when swimming, playing in, or drinking from contaminated water. Dogs may lick the contaminated water from their fur and can be poisoned this way.

If you come across a body of water that you think may contain blue-green algae, do not go in it yourself, or let your dog swim in it or drink from it.

Save and share this post to spread the message to other dog-lovers.

Bee and wasp stings are common in cats and dogs 🐝

If a bee stings your pet, the sting will usually be left in the skin. Wasp stings don’t have this tell-tale sign, and they may sting your pet more than once.

It's important to remember - if your pet has an allergic reaction and the area they've been stung starts to swell to contact your vet immediately ⚠️

Read the full guide: https://pdsa.me/kZZp

[Visual description: Infographic titled 'what to do if your pet is stung by a wasp/bee'. Signs and symptoms: swelling, licking or biting the sting, whining and crying, limping or holding up a paw, drooling, and hives. If your pet is having an allergic reaction, they could have more severe symptoms. If this is the case, get them to your vet as soon as possible. If your pet is showing signs of swelling around the mouth or throat area, see your vet immediately. Never squeeze a sting, as this can make things worse. If your pet's reaction is mild, call your vet for advice and closely monitor them for signs of an allergic reaction.]
