🐾 PROUD MOMENT 🐾 This chap can be nervous which makes this even more rewarding. Being able to get safely on and off the sofa was really important to him. So we built a physio plan to exactly that! Win win! X dogs

☀️ HOT WEATHER TOP TIPS FOR DOGS ☀️

🥵 If you're in the UK ... you don't need me to tell you it is HOT!! And hopefully you know extreme temperatures can be very challenging for our furry friends.

A few things I thought I would share for some inspiration!

🐾 It's OK to NOT walk your dog .... or if you do .....
🌲 Walk really early morning ...... I personally find some evenings are still too hot. Aim for shady woods ... amazing how the temp drops!

🧠 Brain work - Sniff games, training, scatter feeding etc can help tire dogs without overheating.

💧 Lots of bowls of fresh water in shady spots in the house and garden.
💧 Burleigh LOVES drinking fresh water - I make sure he sees me fill up the bowl ...
💧 Adding bone broth into some of their water bowls ... a great way of finding out if they like it ...
💧 Adding water to their food is another way to help hydrate.

🧊 Cooling Ideas - Cooling mats, damp towels, paddling pools, frozen enrichment toys, lick mats or stuffed Kongs can really help.

🍗 Ensure you allow food items to be part of their daily food intake to avoid weight gain. They will need LESS food in the heat, so reduce daily amounts overall.

🏡 VIP Cool Lounge - Close curtains/blinds to create a cool VIP area ... putting enrichment items here will make it a fun place to be!

🐕 Pay special attention to flat-faced, puppies, older, overweight & very fluffy dogs as they often struggle more and cannot regulate their body temps as well.

🌊 Swimming can be good BUT tired dogs can still overdo it in hot weather.

Always know the signs of heatstroke such as
⚠️ excessive panting
⚠️ bright red gums
⚠️ vomiting
⚠️ collapse
⚠️ confusion or weakness
⚠️ wobbliness
⚠️ excessive drooling

If you’re worried, contact your vet immediately.

😎 Would love to hear any more tips you have! Feel free to share your favourite ways to keep your dogs cool in the comments. x 👇

🐾 WHERE & WHAT ARE ACUPRESSURE POINTS - SPINE 🐾

📗 Thank you again for all the wonderful support for my new Acupressure ebook.

🌟 This week, I'm combining AMAZING illustrations beautifully drawn by .pro which so cleverly show where muscles are in relation to acupressure points.

This helps gives you more context re how powerful these acupressure points can be.

👉 Acupressure points are usually located in the depressions between muscles, or between tendons & ligaments.
👉 These areas contain nerve endings and blood vessels which have electricity flowing through them.
👉 When we “press” them we’re then sending signals to the brain (where pain is actually felt).

There are LOTS of muscles along the spine.
💪🏼 These images show just one of the spinal muscles.
👀 You will see how this particular muscles starts at the back of the neck and goes all the way along the spine to lower back.

For more information, please check out the ebook. I will post link in the comments! x

There are lots of muscles relating to the elbow and shoulder.
💪🏼 These images show the Brachialis & Biceps Brachii Muscles - which insert via a tendon into the elbow.
💪🏼 These help the shoulder extend and flexes the elbow, ie when your dog is running, swimming etc. 💧
💙 The other images shows you that acupressure point on Burleigh.
💪🏼 Making this particularly useful for dogs with elbow issues!

💪🏼 These images show the Gluteal Muscles - which insert via a tendon into the Hip Socket.
These help the hip/back leg extend & rotate (ie when your dog is running or cocking their leg to p*e) 💧

🦵The last image shows 2 x acupressure points in front and behind the hip socket.
🦵Making these points particularly useful for dogs with hip issues!
