🌷 Keep your furry friends safe this spring!

Did you know that many spring bulbs, including daffodils, are poisonous to dogs if they eat them? Don't allow your dog to nibble on any daffodils, tulips, hyacinths or bluebells, and don't allow them to drink the water from a vase with any of these flowers inside.

Symptoms to look out for include vomiting and drowsiness, but if you're in any doubt as to whether your dog has ingested any part of these flowers, contact your vet immediately.

Thank you to Buddy the Lhasa Apso for modelling so beautifully for this photo! Buddy is owned by Puppy School tutor Amanda Childs in Surrey (Happy Buddies - Dog Training & Walking) and don't worry, he didn't chomp on any flowers in the making of this picture! 🐾

LESS THAN 1 WEEK TO GO! 🔥🔥

Puppy School returns with Angela Rainey, teaching you how to understand and work with your new puppies using positive behaviours.

Don't allow your new pups to develop the wrong behaviours early on in their lives as you will struggle as it develops into adulthood.

Sign up today and we'll see you soon. ❤️

Puppy School would like to occasionally send emails to ask you to get involved in research projects that might benefit dogs and puppies, or to send information on useful aspects of dog ownership and training.

❄️☃️ Winter Safety ☃️❄️

To make sure you and your furry friend stay safe in the cold weather, please be aware of these common hazards:

❄️ It is never safe for your puppy to walk on a frozen body of water, as there is no way of knowing how thick the ice is. Keep them under close control around frozen water to avoid the risk of them falling through.

❄️ Salt spread on roads and pavements can be an irritant to your puppy's paws. Rinse their paws with warm water when you get home from a walk, this will also prevent them from licking the salt from their paws.

❄️ Antifreeze is poisonous to dogs if ingested. If you think your puppy has licked, or come into contact with any antifreeze, contact your vet immediately.

❄️ Small breeds, young puppies, and those with short hair are particularly at risk of losing heat quickly. Look at for any signs that they are cold (shivering or becoming tired) and bring them back into the warm as soon as possible.

Keep yourself and your pup safe out there, and maybe have fun with inside enrichment activities if the weather is too awful!
