🐾🐾Keeping your dogs cool!🐾🐾

- get the paddling pool out!

If your canine friend hasn't experienced water before or seems worried, then allow them to investigate and work things out for themselves in their own time.
Throw a ball in or their favourite toy, scatter a few treats in the water to create a happy, positive experience.

- make some ice-lollies!

Keep your empty yoghurt pots or cottage cheese pots etc and put a few of their kibble biscuits in, a few of their usual treats, a few small bits of carrot and apple (no pips!), fill with tap water and freeze - they will enjoy licking and getting the food, as well as being cooled through their tongue and pads from holding it.

- Fill Kong toys with some of their soaked dry food with some apple and carrot, freeze then give.

- frozen carrots are cooling as well, especially on their gums when chewing them.

- There are a variety of cooling mats and jackets that can be used.

May is Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month

The 2026 theme is 'Compassion & Empathy'

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM) is held annually throughout May and celebrates the vital contributions of veterinary nurses to animal health and welfare.

Spearheaded by the British Veterinary Nursing Association (bvna.org.uk ), the representative body for veterinary nurses, it promotes awareness about the role of veterinary nurses and highlights the diverse, highly skilled, and compassionate work that registered veterinary nurses (RVNs) and nursing staff provide daily.
