🎃🐾 Halloween can be great fun for us, but for our dogs it can be a very different experience.

A steady stream of guisers at the door, the doorbell ringing, excited voices outside and people appearing in unusual costumes can all be unsettling, particularly for nervous or sensitive dogs.

A few simple things can help keep your dog calm this Halloween:

🐶 Create a quiet, comfortable space away from the front door
🔔 Consider asking guisers to knock rather than ring the doorbell
📺 Keep the TV or radio on to help mask unfamiliar noises
🦴 Give your dog a favourite toy, chew or treat to keep them occupied
🚪 Keep them safely away from the door when answering it
🎭 Remember, masks and fancy dress can make even familiar people look strange to a dog

Most importantly, let your dog retreat somewhere they feel safe and don't force them to interact with visitors.

Stick to dog-friendly treats around your four-legged friends too:

🎃 Raw pumpkin and unground seeds can cause upset tummies, while the rhind, stem and leaves can cause choking hazards (but cooked pumpkin is a nice treat)
🍫 Keep humans treats, especially chocolate, safely away from your dog

We hope all our four-legged friends have a calm and happy Halloween! 🎃🐾👻

Alex decided it was best to stay by the aga this morning 😁

🎆 Bonfire Night is just over a week away, but displays could be starting sooner... is your dog ready? 🐶

For many of us, fireworks are part of the fun, but for our dogs, the sudden bangs, flashes and unfamiliar noises can be frightening. A little preparation now can help make bonfire night less stressful. ❤️

🐾 Start planning a safe, cosy space where your dog can retreat if they feel worried.
📻 Get them used to having the TV, radio or some calming background noise on.
🦮 Plan walks for earlier in the day, before fireworks are likely to start. If walking at dark make sure dogs are on a lead and secure in case they try to flee.
🏠 Check gates, fences and doors are secure. Frightened dogs can behave unpredictably and may try to escape.
🪟 Close curtains and blinds to help block out flashes.
🧸 Have their favourite bed, blankets, toys or treats ready to provide comfort and distraction.
💡 If your dog really struggles with fireworks, speak to your vet now rather than waiting until Bonfire Night.

Fireworks don’t always wait until 5 November, so it’s worth being prepared for unexpected bangs now too.

A little forward planning can make a big difference to our four-legged family members. 🐾❤️

🍂🐾 Autumn dog walks mean beautiful colours, crisp fresh air, crunchy leaves and lovely countryside views. 🍁

Well they do, until you look down at the dog... 😂 Mud, glorious mud!

🐾 Muddy paws
🌧️ Soggy fur
🍂 Leaves stuck everywhere
🐶 And that unmistakable aroma of wet dog!

If your dog seems determined to bring half the countryside home with them, it might be time for a visit to Feath for a good groom and a litle help getting them back to their fluffy best! ✂️🛁🐾

⏰🐶 DOG PARENTS, PREPARE YOURSELVES...

This weekend the clocks go back an hour, giving us a glorious extra hour in bed. 😴

Well... those of us without dogs...

Your dog does NOT recognise British Summer Time. 😂

🐾 6am: “Excuse me, breakfast is late.”
🐾 4pm: “You appear to have forgotten my dinner.”
🐾 8pm: “Bedtime. Why are you still up?”
🐾 Walkies: “I don't care what the clock says. We go NOW.”

While we're happily enjoying that extra hour, our dogs will be standing beside the bed, staring intensely at us and wondering why the entire household routine has suddenly fallen apart. 🫠

Good luck, dog parents. May your coffee be strong and your dog's internal clock adjust quickly! ☕🐕😂

⚠️🐾 Looks like we have a weather warning in place over the next few days here in the North East.

With unsettled weather forecast, remember to think about your four-legged family members:

🐕 Keep dogs on a lead if strong winds, poor visibility or difficult conditions could make walks unsafe.

🌊 Stay well back from rough seas, swollen rivers and fast-flowing water, even if it's part of your usual walking route.

🌳 Avoid woodland during high winds, where falling branches can be a danger.

💡 If it's dark or visibility is poor, reflective or light-up collars, leads and coats can help you both be seen.

🏡 A shorter toilet break and some games, enrichment and playtime indoors can be a much safer option if the weather is really bad.

If you need to reschedule any bookings with us, please just let us know. ☎️

🐾 And when the weather improves, let your dogs burn off excess energy here at Feath Dog Park & Agility Course - book online at www.feath.co.uk

🌙🐾 Dark nights and mornings are here, so it’s time to make sure you and your dog can be seen!

Whether it’s a morning walk before breakfast or that last trip out before bed, a few simple precautions can help keep everyone safe:

✨ Use a reflective or light-up collar, lead or harness
🔦 Carry a torch or wear a head torch
🔋 Check lights and batteries regularly
🦺 Wear something bright or reflective yourself
🐕 Keep dogs on a lead near roads, even if they have good recall
🏷️ Make sure their ID tag and microchip details are up to date

If you're struggling to get those longer walks in and your dog needs to burn off some energy, a secure session at Feath Dog Park could be just the answer! 🐶💨

Stay seen. Stay safe. Enjoy those autumn adventures. 🍂❄️
