🐾 Thinking About Using a Dog Home Boarder? Here's What You Need to Know! 🐾

Going away and need someone to care for your dog? Choosing the right home boarder is important for your dog's safety, wellbeing, and your peace of mind.

✅ Do Dog Home Boarders Need a Licence? Yes! In England, anyone providing home boarding for dogs as a business must be licensed by their local council under the Animal Welfare Regulations.

🐶 How Can I Check They Are Licensed? Ask to see:
✔️ Their Home Boarding Licence
✔️ The licence number
✔️ Which council issued it

A genuine boarder will be happy to provide this information. You can also contact the issuing council to verify the licence is valid.

🏡 Questions to Ask Before Booking
✔️ How many dogs do you board at one time? ✔️ Will my dog mix with other dogs?
✔️ Where will my dog sleep?
✔️ Are you insured?
✔️ What happens in an emergency?
✔️ Can I arrange a meet and greet beforehand?

💊 My Dog Needs Medication – Is That a Problem? Not necessarily, but always discuss this before booking.
✔️ Are you experienced in administering medication?
✔️ Have you given tablets, liquids, eye drops, or injections before?
✔️ Can you follow my dog's medication schedule?
✔️ Will you keep a record of medication given?

Provide clear written instructions and enough medication for the entire stay, plus a little extra in case of delays.

🐾 Trust Your Instincts A good boarder will welcome questions, be transparent about their licence and procedures, and genuinely want to learn about your dog's needs.

Remember: your dog deserves a holiday too! ❤️

🐱 Arthritis in Cats – The Silent Pain Many Owners Miss 🐱

Did you know that arthritis isn't just a problem for older dogs? Many cats suffer from arthritis too, and because cats are experts at hiding pain, the signs can easily go unnoticed.

⚠️ Signs your cat may have arthritis: 🐾
Reluctance to jump onto furniture or windowsills
🐾 Difficulty using stairs
🐾 Sleeping more than usual
🐾 Stiffness, especially after resting
🐾 Changes in grooming habits (unkempt coat or matted fur)
🐾 Becoming grumpy or less social
🐾 Missing the litter tray due to difficulty climbing in and out
🐾 Reduced interest in playing

What can you do to help?
❤️ Book a veterinary check-up if you notice any changes.

Your vet may recommend:
✔️ Pain relief medication
✔️ Joint supplements
✔️ Weight management
✔️ Soft, comfortable bedding
✔️ Easy access to favourite resting spots
✔️ Litter trays with lower sides
✔️ Ramps or steps to help reach furniture

Remember...
Arthritis is common in senior cats, but it isn't something they should "just live with." With the right care and support, many arthritic cats can continue to enjoy a happy, comfortable life.

🐱 Kidney Disease Awareness in Cats 🐱

Did you know that Kidney Disease is one of the most common health conditions affecting older cats? Unfortunately, many cats are masters at hiding illness, so the signs can be easy to miss until the disease has progressed.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
💧 Drinking more water than usual
🚽 Increased urination
🍽️ Loss of appetite
⚖️ Weight loss
😴 Sleeping more or seeming lethargic
🤢 Vomiting or nausea
🧥 Poor coat condition
😷 Bad breath (sometimes with an ammonia-like smell)

🐾 Why early detection matters While chronic kidney disease (CKD) cannot usually be cured, early diagnosis can help slow its progression and improve your cat's quality of life for months or even years.

✅ Regular veterinary check-ups
✅ Blood and urine testing for senior cats
✅ Monitoring water intake and litter tray habits
✅ Feeding a vet-recommended kidney-friendly diet when advised

💙 Senior cats (typically 7+ years) are at higher risk, making annual or twice-yearly health checks especially important.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't panic—but do contact your vet for advice. Early intervention can make a huge difference.

🐾 Is Walking Your Dog Starting to Feel Like a Tug of War? 🐾

Does your dog pull constantly on the lead? 😩
Instead of enjoying your walk together, you're left with sore arms, frustration, and a dog that's often just as stressed as you are.

🐕 Why do dogs pull?
✔ They're excited to explore
✔ They haven't been taught loose-lead walking
✔ They're trying to get to interesting smells, people, or other dogs
✔ Pulling has accidentally been rewarded because it gets them where they want to go

🚫 What NOT to do:
❌ Yank the lead
❌ Shout at your dog
❌ Keep walking while they're pulling
❌ Use equipment you don't fully understand

✅ What TO do:
🐾 Stop walking when the lead goes tight
🐾 Reward your dog when they walk beside you
🐾 Change direction if they pull ahead
🐾 Keep training sessions short and positive 🐾 Allow sniff breaks as a reward
🐾 Be consistent – every walk is a training opportunity

Remember, loose-lead walking is a skill that takes time, patience, and practice. Some dogs learn quickly, while others need a little extra help.

💡 A calm, enjoyable walk is far more beneficial than a long, stressful one.

Has your dog mastered loose-lead walking, or are you still working on it? Let us know below! ⬇️🐾

🐱🕷️ DEALING WITH TICKS & FLEAS IN CATS 🐾

Do you know the difference between a tick and a flea? More importantly, do you know how to protect your cat from both? 🤔

Many cat owners believe indoor cats don't need flea and tick treatment, but the reality might surprise you!

🕷️ TICKS
✅ Larger than fleas and easier to spot
✅ Attach themselves to your cat's skin and feed on blood
✅ Commonly found around the head, ears, neck, under the collar, and between toes
✅ Can transmit serious diseases and infections

Signs your cat may have a tick:
🔸 Visible tick attached to the skin
🔸 Redness or swelling around the bite
🔸 Excessive grooming or irritation
🔸 Lethargy or loss of appetite (in severe cases)

🦟 FLEAS
✅ Tiny, fast-moving insects that live in your cat's fur
✅ Cause intense itching and discomfort
✅ Can multiply quickly in your home
✅ May lead to skin infections and flea allergy dermatitis

Signs your cat may have fleas:
🔸 Constant scratching or over-grooming
🔸 Hair loss or bald patches
🔸 Tiny black specks ("flea dirt") in the coat
🔸 Red, irritated skin

🩺 HOW TO TREAT THEM
✔ Use a vet-approved flea and tick treatment suitable for cats
✔ Wash bedding, blankets, and soft furnishings regularly
✔ Vacuum carpets, furniture, and skirting boards thoroughly
✔ Treat all pets in the household if fleas are found
✔ Remove ticks carefully using a tick removal tool

⚠️ Never use dog flea treatments on cats. Some ingredients can be extremely toxic and even fatal to cats.

🏠 MY CAT NEVER GOES OUTSIDE – DO THEY STILL NEED TREATMENT?
Yes, many indoor cats still benefit from flea prevention!

Fleas and ticks can find their way indoors by: 🐾 Hitching a ride on dogs and other pets
👟 Being carried in on shoes, clothing, or bags
🚪 Entering through open doors and windows
🐦 Wildlife visiting your garden

Just one flea can start an infestation in your home, laying hundreds of eggs before you even notice a problem.

💡 PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
Regular flea and tick prevention helps keep your cat comfortable, healthy, and protected all year round.

🐱 Is your cat strictly indoor, outdoor, or a bit of both? Let us know in the comments!

🐾🕷️ Ticks vs Fleas – Know the Difference & Protect Your Pets! 🐾🦟

Ticks and fleas are more than just a nuisance – they can cause discomfort, illness, and infest your home if left untreated. Knowing the difference can help you act quickly and keep your pets safe.

🔍 TICKS
🕷️ Larger and easier to spot than fleas
🩸 Attach themselves to your pet's skin and feed on blood
🌳 Common in long grass, woodland, and countryside walks
⚠️ Can carry diseases such as Lyme Disease

What To Do:
✅ Check your dog after every walk, especially around ears, neck, armpits, and between toes
✅ Use a proper tick removal tool
✅ Remove ticks carefully and promptly
✅ Use vet-approved tick prevention treatments

What NOT To Do:
❌ Don't pull a tick out with your fingers
❌ Don't burn, smother, or cover it with petroleum jelly
❌ Don't leave the head embedded in the skin

🦟 FLEAS
🔍 Tiny, fast-moving insects that jump
🥚 Lay eggs in carpets, bedding, furniture, and cracks in floors
🐕 Cause itching, scratching, skin irritation, and can transmit tapeworms

Signs of Fleas:
⚫ Flea dirt (small black specks in fur)
😖 Excessive scratching or biting
🔴 Red, irritated skin
🦴 Hair loss in severe infestations

🏠 Treating Your Home Fleas spend most of their life cycle OFF your pet!

✅ Vacuum carpets, rugs, sofas, and skirting boards daily
✅ Wash pet bedding, blankets, and soft furnishings at 60°C where possible
✅ Empty vacuum contents outside immediately
✅ Use pet-safe environmental flea treatments if advised

🐶 Treating Your Dog
✅ Use vet-recommended flea and tick treatments
✅ Treat ALL pets in the household at the same time
✅ Follow dosage instructions carefully
✅ Continue prevention year-round

🐱🐹 Don't Forget Other Pets! Cats, rabbits, ferrets, and small furries can also suffer from fleas.

⚠️ Never use dog flea products on cats – some ingredients can be extremely dangerous and even fatal.

💡 Prevention Is Always Easier Than Treatment Regular parasite prevention, routine grooming, and checking your pets after outdoor adventures can save a lot of stress, money, and discomfort.

⚠️ RAWHIDE: IS IT REALLY SAFE FOR YOUR DOG? 🐶🚫

Many pet owners buy rawhide thinking it’s a long-lasting treat… but do you actually know what it can do to your dog’s insides? 😢

❌ THE DANGERS OF RAWHIDE ❌

🧪 Chemical Processing - Many rawhide chews are heavily processed using chemicals, bleach, and preservatives to clean and preserve the hide.

⚠️ Choking Hazard - Dogs can bite off large chunks which may become lodged in the throat and block the airway.

🚑 Intestinal Blockages - Rawhide doesn’t digest easily. Pieces can swell inside the stomach or intestines causing painful blockages that may require emergency surgery.

🤢 Stomach & Gut Irritation - Rawhide can irritate the digestive system causing:• Vomiting• Diarrhoea• Constipation• Stomach pain• Loss of appetite

🦠 Hidden Bacteria -Some rawhide products have been linked to bacteria such as Salmonella which can affect BOTH pets and humans.

💔 WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOUR DOG?
Large swallowed pieces can sit in the stomach or intestines without breaking down properly. This can stop food moving through the gut and may even become life-threatening.

✅ SAFER NATURAL ALTERNATIVES:
🐾 Natural air-dried treats🐾 Rabbit ears🐾 Beef tails🐾 Yak chews🐾 Fish skins🐾 Coffee wood / olive wood chews🐾 Natural enrichment toys & lick mats

Always supervise your dog with any chew and choose treats suitable for their age, size, and chewing style 🐶

Your dog trusts you to keep them safe ❤️
