Dirty Dog

The weather is getting really warm this week with today forecast 26/27 degrees🥵 so no grooms or dog walking from me today.

as always please take extra care of your dogs on hot days and know the signs of heat stroke and how to avoid it happening. I have added some handy information below to help you keep your dogs safe.

I always take extra precautions in summer for my clients with cooler showers temperatures and cooler setting in the dryer, or earlier start times. But even on cool setting the dryers are still warm.

sometimes grooms will have to be rescheduled if the weather gets too hot as the salon can get very warm on these days and I won’t ever take the risk of heat stroke with your dogs . The journey to and from their groom appointment in the car can also be an unnecessary risk for heat stroke. Their safety and well being is always top priority 💜🐾

Highly recommend this first aid course for anyone who owns or works with dogs. You always hope you will never need to administer first aid but having the knowledge on how to, really can be the difference between life and death with your pets.

The next local one to us is in Elgin 8th March . Contact Pet-ex Services direct to book your place 💜🐾

Sharing for your awareness. I have read quite a few horror stories over the years of this happening and dogs sadly dying through strangulation, very scary thought but preventable 💜🐾

Dog Collar Strangulation

It takes one move, one moment, the wrong way....and this "playing" can turn from a photo captured, to a deadly encounter in seconds. The jaw goes one way, the collar goes the other....a tooth gets hooked, or the jaw gets stuck...and then....they alligator roll trying to get out of the situation, and they're entangled.

This can be an incredibly dangerous situation to try to intervene for a person, because each dog thinks they're being attacked, and the go into an aggressive mode (even the sweetest dog) because they're desperately trying to "get away" and break free.

Dog Collars serve a purpose, however, they should also be used "safely" and unfortunately to many company's, manufacturers, and stores do not provide warning labels, or information about collar safety. Share this post, help those you know about dog collar safety. Just one share, could save a life...

To Prevent Dog Collar Strangulation
REMEMBER:
🐾NEVER kennel/crate your dog with a collar on
🐾Remove collars during play
🐾Remove collars when your dogs are home alone unattended
