Soon I’ll be spaying my own dog Jelly. She will be around 2yrs 2months. Under 2.5 years lowers the risk of mammary cancer. I have allowed her to develop skeletally, sexually, and mentally. So now is the right time.

IF I left her entire I’d need to monitor for both mammary cancer (50% is malignant/nasty) and of course pyometra - pus in the womb. But neutering can also increase the risk of other cancers so balance and understanding of what to expect is important.

IF you keep you girl entire you NEED to be aware of this. Because it can be a killer if not treated ❤️

This is worth digesting!

According to a recent article in the ,“Vets should limit the use of flea treatments containing pesticides on dogs and cats, scientists have said, after a study revealed the vast amount of toxic substances in them that end up in rivers.

“Pet owners using these flea treatments risk contaminating their hands with fipronil and imidacloprid, two insecticides, for at least 28 days after the treatment has been applied, according to research by the University of Sussex and Imperial College London.

“Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at Sussex who supervised the research, said: “These two chemicals are extremely potent neurotoxic insecticides and it is deeply concerning that they are routinely found on the hands of dog owners through ongoing contact with their pet. Pet owners will also be upset to learn that they are accidentally polluting our rivers by using these products.”

We know that many of our customers successfully use our Flea & Tick Powder for Dogs for their cats as well; our consultant vet Dr Nick Thompson has stated that it’s perfectly safe for cats to use, just in much smaller quantities. About a quarter of a scoop should be sufficient.

Sprinkling diatomaceous earth or bicarbonate of soda on your carpets, curtains and soft furnishing (paying special attention to the crevices between your sofa cushions) will also help keep your home flea-free.

Regularly washing their bedding will also prevent any eggs your pets may bring inside from hatching and another top tip from is to place a flea collar inside your hoover drum.

This will mean that any surviving fleas will be effectively disposed of during your clean-up process, without the need for a pesticide to touch your home or pet.
