⚠️ HOT WEATHER DOG WARNING ⚠️ Cold water shock can happen to dogs too 🐶🌊

When dogs suddenly leap into cold lakes, rivers or the sea, especially in this hot weather, the shock can trigger:
• gasping
• panic
• muscle cramping
• breathing difficulties
• hypothermia

This is often caused by dogs charging full-speed into water after balls or sticks.

Help keep them safe:
🐾 Let them enter slowly
🐾 Allow time to acclimatise
🐾 Use a lead near water if needed
🐾 Avoid repetitive ball throwing into cold water
🐾 Watch for currents & deep water

If it happens:
➡️ Stay calm
➡️ Call them gently back to shore
➡️ Warm and dry them gradually
➡️ Contact a vet urgently if they collapse, struggle breathing, seem weak or confused

And please remember — don’t put yourself at risk entering the water. Many owners get into difficulty trying to rescue pets.

Slow entry. Cool heads. Safe dogs. ❤️

A whole weekend of enrichment for Skye! We had such a lovely time on our boat trip to Skomer Island, trip to Tenby and on our walk along the west coast of Wales! Beautiful weather!

We had a lovely training session at Abbey Farm Equestrian Centre in Bedford last night. Such a gorgeous venue. I’ll definitely be going again. Becky Sinclair was a great teacher! 🤗

We’ve had a lovely day judging at Longthorpe Dog Show today. Thank you to all the families that bought their beautiful dogs to join in the fun. It’s was nice to talk to some owners about different enrichment, trick training and agility.

Skye had another win at Inspire yesterday, plus a 5th place. We also met Good boy Ollie and good boy Tato, famous dogs from instagram. They were so sweet.
