Hi everyone, don't forget we are closed for an extended weekend.

Coat health and grooming.
Sometimes the condition of a dogs coat is overlooked when looking at the overall health of a dog. But it is so important, and here are a few reasons why....
If you see changes in the direction of a patch of fur, or see changes in texture or colour, or notice if the coat that was shiny is now a bit dull in places, or more dandruff than there was previously- this could be an indicator that something else is going on underneath. This might show a change in the health of the fascia or muscles in the area around the fur change. And if you know something is wrong, you can do something to fix it.
Also, if you see knots or matts appearing, it's always best to do something about it as soon a possible. Knots and matts can restrict movement, which can alter the dogs gait pattern, this in turn can reduce muscle mass as certain muscles won't be working correctly as the limb isn't going through it's full range of motion.
Daily checks and a few minutes of brushing can prevent bigger issues occurring, if you have a groomer, you can always ask for advice on what to do in between grooms to help keep your pup in tip top condition.
Ps- the photo is Dexter- a fabulous example of a beautiful and well maintained coat.

All dogs can swim- can't they??
A question we get asked all too often. And the simple answer, is no.
Not every dog has the natural instinct to swim.
For some, nothing at all happens with their legs, for some only the front legs kick in, and some get into a panic and start splashing and that just makes things worse.
For some dogs we have to teach them how to use their legs properly, for some we just have to build their confidence in the water. Sometimes it happens quickly, and for others it can take a few sessions.
Monty Jnr, who is 16 months old, lacked the confidence (and grace...sorry Monty) so we had to build trust with him so we could teach him how to swim and for him to know that he was always safe.
He is doing so well, that after 5 sessions, I dare say, he's actually enjoying it a bit. He's using all of his legs properly, (correct gait and good effort) and now he's mastering circles 😀 we are so proud of our little swimmer.

That's us done for the week. We hope everyone else enjoys the sunshine as much as we will.
Remember to keep your pups moving throughout the day in the hotter weather, scatter feeds, interactive toys etc are a good idea, just to prevent them from getting too stiff. For ones who might be getting a bit stubborn on walks- try visiting new places, lots of new sniffs can really perk your pup up and get them engaged with their walks again.
Take care everyone and we'll see you soon.

Puppies!!!
Look at these amazing babies. They are all here to learn how to swim and build confidence in water. The pool was their first introduction to water because their owners wanted it to happen in a safe and controlled way.
We are so proud of our new little swimmers 🤎

Reminder: Main road through Stoke Row is closed from 9.30-3.30 this week.
If you come past the Cherry Tree pub to get to us, access should be fine. If you come from the A4074 through Checkendon, pass the bus stop and phone box, and turn right down Whitehall Lane, that will bring you through the woods, turn left at the T junction and you will end up on Busgrove Lane and turn left into our estate.
