Summer has arrived, yet the hot weather, grass seeds, heatstroke, blue-green algae, and bee stings can all prevent you and your dog from enjoying it.

Please don't share potentially misleading and downright DANGEROUS info like this!!!
(I'm shouting, yes 🤣🫠🫣)
If a dog (or other animal!) is suffering because of heat exposure and heat related illness....
YOU MUST COOL THEM AND COLD WATER WORKS!
COOL FIRST.🧊
CONTACT VET.👩⚕️
TRANSPORT TO VET.🚑
And use legit sources of information like Hot Dogs - canine heatstroke education for dog owners ⚠️
6 minutes is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car - and it doesn’t even have to be that hot weather for it to happen. Be careful. Don’t let it be your dog
JUST A REMINDER, TO ALL DOG OWNERS.
⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the UK die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️
SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.
Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.
• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.
• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.
• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.
• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.
• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.
• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.
• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.
Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.
If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.
👔It's national 'take your dog to work' day today!!🦺
These two joined in with some early morning housework before my actual working day started.....🫣🤣
Now, it's pretty clear that not all workplaces are suitable for dogs and indeed not all dogs are suitable for the workplace.🥼
But, where it can and does work well, it can create real benefits for people and dogs!
There is some interesting science and evidence about the pros and cons too - you can read more in:
Foreman, A. M., Glenn, M. K., Meade, B. J., & Wirth, O. (2017). Dogs in the Workplace: A Review of the Benefits and Potential Challenges. International journal of environmental research and public health, 14(5), 498. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph14050498 (link in comments too)
I'm lucky - my work often involves my dogs directly or indirectly, so they often join me on workshops and at classes, we work as a gundog team in the winter months, and they regularly join me at my desk when consulting, writing and doing admin 🤓

If you see me in your garden, please give me food (raw, unsalted meat or ground meat; I also like cat food but not fish) and water. Do not give me milk as it causes stomach problems and I could die from dehydration. I am naive, and if I see milk, I will drink it.
Do not give me milk!
Do not use insecticides or traps. I am harmless and beneficial for your garden because I feed on insects that attack vegetables.
My species is endangered, please help me stay alive.
Thank you! 🦔❤️

Earlier this year we told you about new funding the Dr. Sally Ricketts had secured, in collaboration with Linnaeus Veterinary and the University of Helsinki, to extend our epilepsy research into FIVE new at-risk breeds - the Beagle, English Springer Spaniel, Giant Schnauzer, Hungarian Vizsla and Irish Setter.
We have been actively recruiting samples from case and control dogs over the last 6 months ready to send for whole genome sequencing (WGS) but we could really do with more sample from the English Springer Spaniel please🙏
Do you have a springer that ..... has been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy
OR.. is over 8 years old AND unaffected by epilepsy?
If so, please contact the team to get involved and help with our research - https://www.canine-genetics.org.uk/research/epilepsy/

**PUBLIC WARNING**
Please do not let your dog's poo on farmer's fields, especially when you see them like this! This is winter food for the cows!!!!
You may possibly cause Neosporosis / Abortion of calves which could even lead to a cull.
Farmers work hard all year round to look after the cows and for a 5 minute run for your dog you cost us money and stock! !
Thank You.
