🐾 Bruce’s had a big week…

He’s been working alongside me as an emotional support dog with Police Now, helping support over 270 new officers at the start of their journey into policing.

It’s a demanding environment — new challenges, new pressures — and Bruce does what he does best.

He brings a bit of calm.
Gets people talking.
Takes the edge off when it’s needed most.

It’s a good reminder of something simple…

Dogs do far more for us than we sometimes realise.

🐕 And after all that, he’s more than ready for a good walk and a long sleep.

🌿 Why do dogs have more energy in spring?
Longer days and a world full of new scents make spring one of the most exciting seasons for dogs.

No wonder they suddenly have a little more spring in their step 🐾

🐾 Spring in My Step! 🌼

The longer days are back and many dogs suddenly seem to have a little extra bounce in their step.

More daylight, fresh scents and warmer ground make spring one of the most exciting times of year for dogs.

If your dog seems extra energetic on walks just now…
they’re probably just enjoying the season.

📺 Have you seen the BBC Panorama documentary “Why Are Vet Bills So High?”
👉 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002pwsm/panorama-why-are-vet-bills-so-high

There’s been a lot of conversation about the role of veterinary care in the UK, the cost of treatment, and how much trust we place in vets when it comes to our pets’ health.

Here are a few facts from the programme:
🐾 Around 60% of UK vets are owned by six corporate companies
🏥 Vets are, at their core, businesses — and like any business, they need metrics and measures to operate successfully.

But that raises an important question:

❓ Should our dogs’ health be treated like any other commercial product?
Or should there be something different about it — given the trust we put in veterinarians, emotionally and financially?

We’d love to hear your thoughts 👇

💬 Do you think vets should be profit-driven like any other business… or should there be stronger protections/transparency for pet owners?
💬 Have you had experiences where vet costs felt fair — or unfair?
💬 Did the programme reflect your own experiences?

Let’s have an open, respectful discussion — this affects all of us who love and care for dogs 🐶

More than half of UK households are thought to have a pet, and vet bills have rocketed in recent years. Richard Bilton investigates why being a pet owner has become so expensive.

Thinking about your dog’s food — but not sure what to change (or when)? 🐾

We’ve had a lot of conversations recently with owners who know something needs to change… but don’t want to rush it or upset their dog’s stomach.

Sometimes the right answer is not changing yet.
Sometimes it’s a small tweak.
Sometimes it’s just reassurance that you’re doing the right thing already.

If you’re thinking about food, feeding amounts, switching gently, or subscriptions — we’re happy to help, no pressure.

💬 Comment “HELP” and we’ll point you in the right direction.
