The Forest Prince sits upon his Winter Throne

As the seasons change, the days get colder and the nights get longer, we look to our furry friends to give us a reason to venture outside. As my boots crunch through the crisp leaves that litter the floor, I watch as my boy sprints through the woodland without a care in the world. As I rub my hands together for warmth and pull my scarf up to combat the numb tip of my nose, my dog climbs on every fallen log and explores every hole he can find.

The most joyous thing about having an animal companion is that they don't suffer from the same emotional episodes as we do. In fact, they do their very best to combat it with us, through motivation and unfiltered love. Seasonal depression rarely has a chance to take hold when you see the boundless energy of a dog tearing through a wintry woodland and returning with a grin that suggests that all of lifes problems could be solved with a quick run and a sniff.

Thank you to all the dogs that help people who find these darker months hard. We truly don't deserve you, but are infinitely grateful for your presence in our lives.

Give an experience they'll never forget! 🐶📸

If you're looking for that perfect Christmas present for the pet lover in your life, show them how much you care by gifting a Professional Pet Portrait Session with Conor Kerrigan Photography.

And, for this launch weekend only (18-23 November 2025), you can have this incredible experience, which is valued at £150, for ONLY £90. That's 40% off! Order your Gift Certificate from the store link in the comments.

They will receive:
A personalised consultation call to ensure they can get exactly what they want from the final product
A 2 hour portrait session (in home or on location)
An in home reveal session to view their gallery
A complimentary matted 12x10 print
£50 credit towards wall art purchases

As a Pet Led Photographer, I treat every animal as the individual they are. It is my job to adapt to a pet’s specific needs and personality and pull out stunning portraits regardless of what I'm faced with.

This means I can comfortably work with puppies or kittens who have short attention spans, blind and deaf animals, excitable or reactive pets who can't stay still, and I've even worked with dogs who "don't like men" and had incredible sessions. I do everything I can to make my portrait sessions a comfortable and rewarding experience for them. The benefit for you is that this brings out the very best in them, so that your (or your friend/family members) furry friend's true personality shines through in their portraits.

Everyone knows that smoking is bad for us, we are aware of the risks and in recent years aware of the changes in the law regarding smoking in public places. Great lengths have been taken to educate the public regarding the risks of smoking whilst pregnant and passive smoking, especially around children.

What many people do not consider is the effect cigarette smoke has on pets.

Studies have shown that living in a household with a smoker:

* Dogs have a higher risk of developing nasal cavity, sinus, and lung cancer.
* Dogs with longer snouts have an increased risk of nasal and sinus cancer (The longer nose creates a larger area for the carcinogens (cancer producing substance) to accumulate)).
* Dogs with shorter snouts have twice the chance of developing lung cancer. (The carcinogens go straight to the lungs).
* Cats have more than double the chance of developing Lymphoma (white blood cell cancer). If the cat remains exposed to the smoke for more than 5 years, the risk increases to three times.
* Ni****ne is ingested during grooming which puts cats at an even higher risk due to the instinct to keep themselves clean.
* The more people that smoke within the household means the risk of pets developing cancer is higher.
* Animals may be at even higher risk than humans due to them being in the atmosphere for longer periods of time. People will go outside, go to work or school but the pet stays at home.
* Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters have a higher chance of developing respiratory, skin and eye problems if they live in a smoking household.
* Birds are very susceptible to lung disease when exposed to to***co smoke.
* Owners who smoked outside reduced risks but did not remove them completely.

Third hand smoke is not something we hear a lot about, but it is something that pet owners need to be aware of, animals are at serious risk from it. When a smoker exhales anyone around him or her will breathe in the second-hand smoke which is associated with passive smoking. The second-hand smoke will dissipate after time but the particles within the smoke are heavier than air and will remain in the environment sticking to anything they come into contact with. The to***co oxidises with nitrous acid, which occurs naturally in our environment, and creates carcinogens not found in ci******es or cigarette smoke. Third hand smoke is the yellowing you see on ceilings and walls, the smell on clothes and soft furnishing and the sticky residue left behind. By nature, animals are smaller than us meaning the third hand smoke will fall onto them...which they will then groom off while exhibiting their natural behaviour.

Passive smoking is a genuine problem for everyone, please do not forget your pets, they are at a higher risk and the treatment available to them is limited when it comes to lung disease and cancer.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE.

Who is Pet Owners & Pet Professionals First Aid Courses?

Formerly Pet Owners First Aid. As an experienced Registered Veterinary Nurse I have come across numerous situations where owners and pet professionals have been left wondering if there was something else they could have done during a traumatic event involving either their own pet or one they have been entrusted to look after. These individuals have been left with, usually, unjustified guilt which has sometimes been carried for weeks, months and even years. We all want to do the best for our animals and within my profession is it paramount to everything I do within it, the animal always comes first. It is because of this that I decided to write an animal first aid course for like minded people who own or look after dogs and cats using my experience, knowledge and training. ** THE COURSES HAVE NOT BEEN WRITTEN TO REPLACE VETERINARY CARE AND TREATMENT...IF AN ANIMAL IS UNWELL ALWAYS SEEK VETERINARY ADVICE** Kerry Stubbs RVN CertVNECC MBVNA
