☀️ Sunshine today.
⛈️ Thunder tomorrow.
🎆 Fireworks at the weekend.
We can’t always predict when a frightening noise will happen — but we can prepare our dogs for it.
Having a safe space ready and knowing where to turn for veterinary support can help you feel more prepared when the forecast changes.
If your dog has struggled with loud noises before, talk to us before the next noisy event.

🎆 Fireworks expected? A little preparation can make a big difference.
Think about your dog's routine before the first bang — from walking earlier and closing the curtains to preparing enrichment and making sure their microchip details are up to date.
And if you already know your dog finds fireworks difficult, please don’t wait until fireworks night to contact us.
Speak to us in advance so there’s time to discuss your dog and make an appropriate plan. 💜
Save this checklist so you have it ready for fireworks season. 📌

👀 What does anxiety look like in your dog?
It isn’t always hiding or visibly shaking.
Panting when they’re not hot, repeatedly checking windows, struggling to settle or suddenly wanting to stay very close to you can all be clues that something is making them uncomfortable.
Every dog is different, which is why noticing changes in their normal behaviour can be so important.
What’s the first thing you notice when your dog hears fireworks or thunder? Tell us below. 👇

❌ “My dog will grow out of it.”
It’s an easy assumption to make — particularly if your dog seems completely back to normal once the noise has stopped.
But anxiety can become worse if it’s left unmanaged.
So if fireworks, thunderstorms or other noises leave your dog frightened, don’t assume you simply have to wait for them to grow out of it.
💬 Talk to us about the support available.

🐶 Would you recognise if your dog was struggling with noise anxiety?
Some signs are obvious, such as trembling or trying to hide. Others can be easier to dismiss — like panting, pacing, refusing food or becoming destructive.
The important thing is to notice what’s different for your dog.
If you recognise these behaviours around fireworks, thunder or other loud noises, talk to us about what you’ve noticed.
Recognising that they’re struggling is the first step from coping to calm. 💜

🎆⛈️ Does your dog struggle with fireworks, thunderstorms or other loud noises?
Fear doesn’t have to be something they simply learn to live with.
There are lots of ways we can support dogs who find noisy events difficult — and the best time to start thinking about that support is before the next noisy night.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing advice to help you recognise the signs of noise anxiety, prepare your dog and know when to ask for help.
Because fear doesn’t have to be part of the forecast. 💜

Older doesn’t have to mean inactive. 🐾
Gentle, appropriate activity can still be an important part of your pet’s routine as they age.
Shorter walks, gentle play and low-impact activities can help keep older pets moving without asking too much of them. The right amount will depend on your individual pet, their age, mobility and overall health.
If you notice stiffness, reluctance to move or a change in how they exercise, speak to your vet. They can help you find an activity level that works for your pet.
The goal isn’t to keep them doing everything they used to. It’s to help them keep enjoying what they can. ❤️

Sometimes, getting older just means doing things a little differently. 🐶🐱
Simple changes around the home can help older pets stay comfortable and confident.
Think about:
• Non-slip rugs on slippery floors
• Easy access to food, water and their favourite resting spots
• A comfortable, supportive bed
• Keeping essentials on one level if stairs are becoming difficult
• Making sure they can get outside easily
Your pet may not need to stop doing the things they love. They may just need a little help doing them.

Older pets don’t always show us when something is wrong.
Instead, you might notice small changes in their everyday routine:
🐾 Sleeping more than usual
🐾 Taking longer to get comfortable
🐾 Moving more slowly
🐾 Changes in toileting habits
🐾 Eating or drinking differently
🐾 Becoming less social or playful
One small change might not seem significant, but keeping an eye on patterns can help you spot when your pet may need some extra support.
Know your pet 🐾 Notice the changes❗️ Talk to your vet if something doesn’t seem right.

Getting older doesn’t mean feeling worse. 🐾
Just like people, pets naturally slow down as they age. But changes such as struggling to get up, avoiding stairs, becoming less interested in walks or play, changes in appetite, or seeming unusually withdrawn shouldn’t simply be dismissed as “old age”.
Many age-related changes can be managed or supported, helping your pet stay comfortable and enjoy their everyday life.
If you’ve noticed changes in your older pet, speak to us. A little extra support can make a big difference. ❤️
