Phew! It's been hot lately! 🥵 Please read the latest updated guidelines on what to do/not to do if you're dog is struggling. Advice from Animal Love Pet First Aid

Please remember that panting is normal and your dogs way of cooling down. When breathing is altered then you need to act.

Do keep your dog mat-free and well brushed out to aid airflow through the coat.

BE HEAT SAVVY!

Follow up-to-date info as our approach to heat related illness in dogs has changed…

We DO NOT COVER IN WET TOWELS

We DO USE COLD WATER

We DO USE ICY WATER FOR THE SEVERELY AFFECTED (collapsed, fitting, +/- bloody vomit/diarrhoea)

Cold water for the mild to moderately affected will not send them into shock. And for those severely affected, icy water will not shock them either as heatstroke is heat shock!

The old information is still doing the rounds, I have been updating any of my learning materials to ensure you are kept up dated ❤️

PLEASE READ! Sharing a post by Teignbridge Council...

We’ve received a report of suspected Hemlock water dropwort roots (Oenanthe Crocta) - AKA 'dead man's fingers' - washing up along the beach at Teignmouth and possibly neighbouring coastlines.

Hemlock Water Dropwort is a very common native plant found along waterways across the UK. The roots look and smell like parsnips but can be poisonous to humans and animals if ingested. The roots are often washed down from riverbanks during the winter.

We would advise all dog owners to be vigilant and keep pets on a lead when walking near our coastlines.

If you spot Hemlock water dropwort roots on our coastlines, please let our Resorts Team know by email: [email protected]

Without wishing to scaremonger but please be vigilant of this stuff. Looks a lot like a parsnip. It's deadly... if your dogs come into contact with it then take them to the vet immediately. 🐾

Hooray, January is nearly over!! Its been dragging hasnt it?! Was cheered up by a visit from these two today. (Only Barmey needed a bath though..! 😆) here's a pic of the handsome chap waiting patiently for his lift. He does love his Aunty Jane (and so do I! She's a good egg as far as humans go! ❤️) She would however kill me if she saw I'd put her on social media...! 😬😆
