🎓 Who's gone back to school today? 🎓
📚 Are we ready to get back into routine? 📚

After my car accident earlier in the year and a busy summer, I'm definitely behind on some of your routine appointments.

Let's use September to get back on track! I'll be working through my list, but if you can't wait, give me a call and we'll get something in the diary 🥰

Maisie *walked* into clinic today 🤩

When I first met Maisie, she was non-ambulatory following spinal surgery. She's now had a course of 6 laser sessions alongside gentle chiropractic and massage to rebalance her body and targeted strengthening exercises.

Congratulations must go to her parents who have religiously done their homework and made sure that Maisie has progressed through her exercises over the past couple of months. I'm always so impressed by the progress post-surgery dogs make when they're consistent with their at-home exercises!

Maisie is now able to get about without her sling and look at how strong she is in the stand!! Such a clever girl 🤩

😎 I'm on holiday 😎

I am now on annual leave for a week. I will be returning to work on 4th August. Please note that my first week back is already nearly fully booked.

Signal here is poor so I will respond to all messages when I get home next Monday 👍🏻

Rest and recharge ✅
Processing and powering up ✅
Growth and development ✅

Quality sleep is so important to support growing muscles, joints, spine and nervous system. All these areas need time to recover from and process all the activities they facilitate whilst the puppy is awake!

Sleep is an essential part of healthy development - Rum is still napping 3 - 4 times a day at the moment! 😴

Don't jump down from there please Rum 🫣

Just because they can.... Doesn't mean they should!

Every jump down creates an impact that travels through growing paws, limbs, joints, and the spine. One jump is unlikely to cause a problem but repeatedly landing from high surfaces can place unnecessary strain on a puppy's developing musculoskeletal system.

Growing bodies need time to develop strength, coordination, and stability. We have to help our puppies avoid unnecessary jumps and teach them safe alternatives to support healthy movement while reducing the risk of awkward landings and avoidable injuries.

That's why we've taught Rum to use the steps since day 1 - even though she still gives me heart attacks from time to time when she threatens to jump down from here 🫣

☀️ Hot Tips For Hot Puppies ☀️

Hot weather is much harder on puppies than many people realise. Their little growing bodies can overheat quickly and they haven't developed the self regulation to know when to stop playing. As we enter another heat wave, here are my top tips to keep puppies safe.

☀️ Keeping outside play to early mornings or late evenings means they can still have fun, just when the temperature is cooler

🐶 Puppies still need to burn off their energy so make sure they have access to plenty of stimulation and fun when they're being kept out of the heat

☀️ Hot dogs will drink more - make sure they have free access to water bowls and keep an eye on them - they may need topping up more frequently

🐶 Water play - a shallow paddling pool can provide an enriching and stimulating way for puppies to cool off - ideally in the shade and not during the heat of the day

☀️ Chilled or frozen Kong's - whilst they may not directly reduce your puppy's temperature, they encourage puppies to settle and encourage calm behaviour - remember that self regulation thing!

🐶 Curtains closed and fans on - keeping curtains closed may block out the lovely sun but it does prevent rooms from heating up and fans can just make everything feel a bit more comfortable

📷 Have you got any tips to add? Drop a photo of your dogs keeping cool 😎

What a lovely message to receive on a Sunday morning!

Congratulations to Hannah and Blue for a successful trip to Kent Show - don't they both look amazing 🤩

This is one of the best parts of my job! I love being able to celebrate client wins with them 🥰

** When Things Go Wrong**

Bit of drama in our house tonight! Rum decided to try and eat something she shouldn't (oxygen absorber sachet 🤦🏼‍♀️)

The animal poison line were amazing and saved me a costly trip to the out of hours vet!

So here's a little PSA for those of you, like me, who may not have heard of them before! You have to pay for the consultation (I paid £35 this evening) but they're prompt and give excellent advice!

You can call them on 01202 509000

Save this post, just in case 🤞🏻
