This Helpline Awareness Day we want to celebrate the pawsome people behind our Behaviour Support Line 🐾

Did you know that you can contact us to recieve free, expert dog advice?

In 2024, our team supported 7,685 dog owners this way 👏 The most common topic owners wanted to discuss was their dogs' reactivity. Whether your dog is showing signs of separation anxiety, seems to bark constantly, or recall training just isn't clicking - we're here to help!

Our Behaviour Support Line is open Monday to Saturday, 9.30am - 5pm for free advice and guidance 👉 https://bit.ly/3SFWew6

Thinking about sprucing up your home with a splash of colour this year? House plants might be just the thing you need! 🪴

But remember, if you're sharing your living space with a four-legged friend, there are certain plants you will need to avoid as they are poisonous to pets 🐾

[Visual description: Image titled "Which House Plants Are Safe For Pets?" A grid divides plants into safe and unsafe categories for pets. On the left with green check marks are safe plants: Wax Plant, Spider Plant, Pot Marigold, Money Tree, Venus Fly Trap, and American Rubber Plant. On the right with red X marks are unsafe plants: Ivy, Peace Lily, Aloe Vera, Philodendron, Dumb Cane, and Sago Palm. The logo for PDSA is displayed at the bottom right.]

With Valentine's Day just a few days away, you might be starting to think about a present for your special person 💐

Flowers are a lovely way to say 'I love you' but please remember that not all flowers are pet-friendly. And if you've got a pet who is partial to pinching things they shouldn't now and again, you need to be extra cautious of what flowers you're bringing into your home ⚠️

Here is our list of flowers which are poisonous to our pets. Please share to help us spread the word!

This March we are celebrating our 22nd Birthday!

We have asked all the schools in Dumfries and Galloway to get involved in the celebrations by holding a non uniform day on the 28th of February (but any day around that time would work 😊).

If you work at a school or know someone who does and you would like to get involved then please get in touch 🐾❤️.

[email protected]

All the money raised will go straight to the care of our dogs.

Is this still true? 😂🩷

Last year, 85% of pet owners we surveyed would rather spend Valentine’s Day with their pet than with their partner. Let us know in the comments if your date tonight has paws and a tail...
