***WARNING***

While we all love to see the sunshine 😎🌞 we can't emphasise enough the dangers of over-exercising your dogs in hot weather.

Please remember that dogs can't self-regulate their temperatures. It is our duty to protect them from the heat. If you have any queries or concerns please ring your local vet. Remember, Irish dogs are not accustomed to hot weather.

Heatstroke can hit quickly and it can be deadly, please don't assume it won't happen to your dog.

Older dogs, overweight dogs and
brachycephalic dogs are at an increased risk during hot weather.

Some tips to help keep your dog cool 👉👉👉

🔷️Keep your dogs indoors, somewhere cool with access to water.

🔷️ When outside, ensure they have access to shade and water

🔷️Freeze some treat filled Kongs or Lickimats for them

🔷️Leave out a damp blanket for them to lie on or get them a cooling mat.

🔷️ Don't leave them in the car

🔷️When weather is really hot, only walk your dogs early in the morning and late in the evening​.

Some signs of heat stress 👉👉👉

🔷️Excessive panting and short of breath

🔷️Excessive drooling

🔷️Changes in gum color or tongue (bright or dark red)

🔷️Elevated body temperature

🔷️Increased pulse and heartbeat

🔷️Excessive thirst

🔷️Disorientation, stumbling or weakness

🔷️Vomiting

Please use common sense and don't put your dogs at risk.

TOBIE

This poor little girl has had quite a change since her owner had to go into a nursing home, and she needs a sympathetic new human to help her through it all.

We think Tobie is about 7 years old, and although she only has three legs, it doesn't seem to bother her at all. She had to undergo major surgery after she arrived to us and has recovered well from it all.

Tobi does get quite anxious though and will need time and patience to settle in her new home. She is in a caring foster home right now but she would make a great companion for an older person who is at home a lot.

Tobie needs company 24/7 and that includes at night time, so if you don't like dogs in the bedroom then Tobi is not for you!!
