Thursday Throwback...

Older and wiser!

Back in 2015 our staff had x-ray films to hand for the eclipse. Fast forward to 2026 and we now know they aren't as resilient as real eclipse glasses!

It may seem awfully premature to start talking about fireworks, but with the calendar now turned to August, time is ticking towards what can be a very stressful period for any pets with noise phobias.

Depending on pets' experiences in previous years, these anxieties can snowball and become more and more difficult to manage.

Stopping this wind-up process early gives the best chance of supporting your pet with these difficult moments; and 'early' can rarely be 'too early'.

Meanwhile, check out this Blogpost from Poppets dog training run by Rachel, a former veterinary nurse at PAWS.

Dolly recently came to see Hannah for her second vaccinations. She was a superstar, and quite the little bundle of fluff!

With her second vaccination now complete, she can begin to look forward to obtaining immunity and going out to meet other dogs, begin socialising and exploring the wider world.

With more than 50% of the UK now declared to be in 'drought conditions' there's still no let-up in the summer heat.

Cathy's dog Freddie has been sporting the very latest in cool vests and seems more than happy to be seen out and about in it. Looks like he's even done his very own catalogue photoshoot to show it off!
