🐕💛 What is the Yellow Dogs Campaign? 💛🐕

Have you seen a dog with a yellow ribbon, leash, or bandana and wondered what it means?

The Yellow Dogs Campaign is a global movement to raise awareness about dogs who need space. A yellow marker on a dog means:

🔸 They may be recovering from surgery
🔸 They might be nervous, reactive, or in training
🔸 They’re not ready to be approached by people or other dogs

It’s not about being unfriendly — it’s about respect and understanding. 🐾

If you see a dog wearing yellow, please give them some space. Let's spread the word and make walks safer and less stressful for dogs and their humans. 💛

What should I do if I lose my dog?

🚨 Lost Dog? Stay Calm, Here’s What to Do 🐾

If your dog runs off, the worst thing to do is shout or chase, we all know that our pets, when calm will recall to us when asked, but lost dogs go into fight or flight mode and they do not behave the way they would normally. When we shout them or chase them, this can make their flighty instinct stronger and they may run further or go into hiding. Instead:

🔍 Stay where they last saw you – many dogs circle back.
📣 Use calm, happy tones if calling.
📱 Report to local vets (like us!), dog wardens, and pet microchip databases.
👥 Post in local Facebook groups and ask for help from volunteers like Drone to Home – they help find pets fast!
🪪 Ensure microchip details are up to date.

Remember, it's is a legal requirement to have your dog microchipped with up to date details, and they should be wearing a collar with your contact details. This will improve the chances of you being reunited by 75%!

We're here to help, don’t hesitate to call us if your pet is missing.

🕷️ Tick Trouble Is on the Rise! 🐾
As the weather warms, ticks and other parasites are more active, and that means a higher risk for your pets.

Ticks can carry harmful diseases like Lyme disease and can attach quickly after walks in long grass, fern or woodland areas. 🏞️

✅ Regular parasite prevention - consider our affordable VIPets package
✅ Tick checks after walks
✅ Early detection = safer pets!

If you're unsure your pet is protected, give us a call, we're here to help.

💛 A little love goes a long way… 🐾
When pets stay with us at Bright Side Vets, they’re treated like family and we mean it.

Just like Luna and Loki, who recently came in for surgery 🐶🐶. These inseparable pals were kept together during their stay, and we made sure they had all the comfort, cuddles, and care they needed. 💕

They snuggled up side by side as they recovered, because familiar faces (and fluffy bodies) make everything a little easier.

Your pets are never just patients here, they’re friends, companions, and a part of our extended Bright Side family. 🏡
From extra blankets to calming voices and kind hands, we’re here to make their stay feel safe and loved every step of the way.

✨ Got questions about what a stay with us looks like? Drop us a message, we’re always happy to chat!
