Arthritis in dogs is often not diagnosed until it’s quite advanced. Please check your dogs regularly. Look for any stiffness, change in gait or stance, reluctance to undertake certain activities such as climbing stairs or walking across uneven ground, slower movements, signs of pain/discomfort, perhaps even general ‘grumpiness’.

If we detect it early there are lots of things we can do to make our dogs more comfortable, whether medication or home adaptations.

It’s world Animal day,

Today is National Black Dog Day (in NSW); a day to celebrate black-coated dogs and help them shine.
So here’s my beautiful Maggi

Black dogs are sometimes overlooked in shelters, a phenomenon often called “Black Dog Syndrome.” Dark-coated dogs may receive less attention because of outdated superstitions, unfair portrayals of black dogs as intimidating, and the difficulty of capturing their expressions in adoption photographs.

A dog’s coat colour does not determine their temperament. Behind every glossy black coat is an individual with their own personality, needs and wonderful qualities.

You can help today by:

🖤 Considering a black dog when adopting from a reputable shelter or rescue organisation
📸 Sharing photographs that show the personality and expression of your black dog
🐾 Challenging unfair myths about dark-coated dogs
📣 Sharing adoption profiles to help black dogs reach more potential families
🏡 Encouraging prospective owners to choose a dog based on temperament, health, needs and suitability—not colour

Photographing a black dog can sometimes be tricky. Try using soft natural light, choosing a contrasting background and focusing on the eyes. Avoid harsh overhead sunlight, which can hide facial details or create strong shadows.

Do you share your life with a beautiful black dog?

🌳 AUTUMN/WINTER RED BERRY ADVICE 🌳
Throughout Autumn and Winter, the Animal Poison Line receive many calls involving dogs ingesting red berries, whilst on a walk or in the garden. It is often difficult to identify the species of plant, and therefore identify whether ingestion is a toxicological risk for your pet.
• Cotoneaster species, is an evergreen low-growing shrub/tree commonly found in gardens and public parks. The plant bears round bright red berries which can remain on the plant until winter. Dogs will normally be unaffected following ingestion of the berries but they might develop an upset stomach. There is a potential for cyanogenic glycoside toxicity if a large quantity has been eaten but severe Cotoneaster poisoning is rare.
• Yew is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub/tree found throughout the UK. The seed is enclosed in a fleshy aril which is commonly mistaken for a berry. They can appear green, red or even yellow. All parts of the plant are toxic, sudden death is the most common sign in livestock, but few severe cases have been reported in dogs. Vomiting and diarrhoea is common in dogs. However in severe cases, heart problems may occur.
