I’m so sorry if I sound like a broken record, but please please please stop walking your dogs in the day time on tarmac/hard standing surfaces.

Today I passed this melted tarmac in Witney, yes, it’s been that hot here that tarmac has melted!!! Although the air might seem cooler in the early mornings and evenings, after continued hot days, tarmac takes a while to cool completely, so please check with the back of your hand, or your bare feet, before you ask your dog to walk on it.

The second picture (found on Google) is what can happen if you walk your dog on hot surfaces. If this occurs please seek veterinary care, but immediate first aid might help prevent the paws worsening.
1 - submerge the paw into COOL (not ice cold) water for 10/15 mins
2 - clean out any gravel/ debris
3 - PAT dry
4 - apply a pet safe balm
5 - potentially cover with a boot or vet wrap/wound pad to prevent the dog chewing/licking it
6 - SEEK VETERINARY CARE/ADVICE

Your dog will not die from not getting a walk, they could die from heatstroke, it’s not worth it!

Any questions please shout any time 🙂

Morning! Remember to look after your 4 pawed friends. They don’t sweat like we do so struggle to cool themselves down in quite the same way.

Dogs sweat through their paws and panting, but cool from the bottom up, so cool mats, paddling pools and cool hard floors are usually the best way to keep them from over heating. Also be aware of the temperature of pavements. Even when feeling cooler in the air they might still be too hot and could scold their pads, always worth trying the temp with the back of your hand first

Any time sensitive bookings will be swapped for pop-ins, if not, all other walks have been moved to early mornings. Anyone I’ve missed on my messaging rounds, please get in touch!

Just remember one walk is not worth your dogs life! Plenty of other ways to keep their minds busy in the cool

Let’s talk collars and tags…Tank and Striker below are demonstrating the perfect collar and tag combo!

Recently I have come across a few dogs where the dogs have lost the tags off their collar. This is something that just needs to be monitored, for those I have noticed I’ve made the owners aware.

As outlined by The Control of Dogs Order 1992 it is mandatory that dogs wear a collar with an ID tag when in a public place and also when travelling.

The ID tag must include the owners name and address. It is optional to include a phone number but advised against to mention the dog’s name. The ID tag doesn’t have to be a tag that goes onto the collar, it can be engraved/embroidered onto the collar itself - which could be a better option to those that seem to loose them regularly.

Although dogs are also required to be microchipped by 8 weeks, this is as well as a collar and tag not instead of.

Just a little post to open some more awareness to something that’s often overlooked in our busy lifestyles!

Lovely pop-in for Sage and Bert the other evening. Looking forward to seeing them for our booked overnight sit soon
