Great puppy intro for this little ( soon to be big ) labradoodle !

He was an absolute star ⭐ with the hair dryer which is often the part that takes the most time to get used to .

Can’t wait to watch him grow - he has an amazing character and wanted to come back in when it was time to go ( ok possibly for more gravy bones rather than grooming 🤣) - but welcome to The Dog House Family 💗🐾

That time of year is coming - and Lauren I don’t mean Christmas 🤣

🐶🌱 Grass # Seed Season 🌱🐶

Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can pose a serious risk to our dogs .

They can become lodged between toes, inside ears, under eyelids, in noses, beneath the skin and even inhaled !

Once attached, they can travel through tissue, causing pain, infections, abscesses, and in some cases requiring veterinary surgery to remove.

Keep an eye out for signs such as:
🔍 Excessive licking of paws
🔍 Head shaking or scratching at ears
🔍 Sneezing or nasal discharge
🔍 Swelling, redness, or limping

After walks, especially in long grass or grassy fields, take a few minutes to check your dog’s paws, ears, coat, and eyes.

A quick inspection could save your pet a lot of discomfort and a costly trip to the vet.

Please share this post to help keep our dogs seed free this summer! ❤️🐾

The photo below are seeds I took out of a Cocker Spaniel feet last summer whilst in for a groom !!!! 👀👀

Let’s talk Heat Stroke in Dogs 😔 and no I’m not about to preach as I’m sure you all know better than to take them out in it but …….

☀️With all this hot weather ➡️ Would you know what to do if your dog was suffering with heat Stoke ♨️

Even if you had done the right thing and kept them inside tragedy can still occur ❤️‍🔥

Last year alone 1504 dogs died in the UK as a result of heat stroke .

If the answer is No ⬇️

Then come along to our Dog First Aid Course where this and more will be covered -
