How pets see the world! Today, we're offering some tips to help blind dogs navigate their world! Did you know a dog's sense of smell and hearing far surpasses ours? They can remarkably adapt and use these senses to enhance their daily lives. If you have other pets at home, consider attaching a small bell (from cat collars) to their collar. This simple trick allows your blind dog to easily determine the location of their feline and canine companions. Another handy tip is to carry different pitched bells in your pocket or tie them to your shoelaces. This way, your blind dog can hear where you are in the house and even during your outdoor walks. Keeping your home and garden layout consistent is crucial for your pet's orientation. Maintaining a familiar environment helps your pet understand where they are and where they need to go. Remember, our pets rely on us to make their lives as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. Let's help them navigate their world with confidence!

The Fourth of July is tomorrow! While an exciting, fun-filled day for many, once evening comes around our pets might not share the same enthusiasm. Many of our furry companions struggle with the level and frequency of the celebratory fireworks. So what can you do? Dr. Gutierrez shares his tips on easing the stress of the evening for our pets. If you have a fearful fur friend, his first suggestion is consulting with your vet to see if medication is something they could benefit from. If you feel as though medicine isn’t needed for your pet, there are other great ways to dampen the noise and reduce anxiety! Dr. G explains that giving them a quiet safe space, dimming the lights, and having white noise (or even background noise like music, the tv, etc.) can mitigate some of the fear associated with the holiday noises. Let's celebrate responsibly and keep our pets calm, safe and happy this Fourth of July! #adoptdontshop #4thofjuly #independenceday #fireworks #petsafety #expertadvice #experttips #veterinarian #pethealth

New Year's Eve is one of the scariest, most stressful times of the year for pets and wildlife, with unpredictable loud noises, strong smell of explosives and flashing lights. 🥳💥 Here are our tips for keeping your pets safe during the celebrations: 🎆 Please be as prepared as possible, including walking dogs in the afternoon, feeding large meals to encourage sleeping and getting them used to firework sounds. 🎆 Shut all external doors/windows, keep curtains tightly shut and provide quiet safe space/den/room filled with your pet's favourite toys/treats/blankets. 🎆 Distract pets with TV/radio/music (reggae works apparently!), act as if nothing's wrong/different and reward calm behaviour. 🎆 For particularly nervous pets, contact us in advance for advice on safe medications, plug-ins, sprays, anxiety jackets, etc. 🎆 Keep water bowls topped up as anxious pets may drink more. 🎆 Check microchip details are up to date too in case of escapes. Happy New Year!! 😃🎉 💜 #waggydog #waggydogmarketing #veterinary #vets #vetmarketing #vetsocialmedia #socialmediaforvets #vet #fireworks #petsafety #NYE #NewYearsEve #happynewyear

A new idea for smaller pets i.e. puppies, cats, kittens, rodents etc. Sometimes you have to take your pet to the vets, & normally the pets cage will be put on the floor.. this makes the small pet feel very vunerable when bigger animals come into the waiting room.. I designed this folding carrier on wheels so that it can be higher from the floor so pets feel safer when bigger animals are in the waiting room, but also having wheels make the job easier as some pets can be quite heavy in their carrier.There are two pockets, one each side, one for treats & the other for your pets medical history & appointment dates ...

Winter Safety for Cats - Beware of Hidden Napping Spots! ❄️🐱 As the temperature drops, our feline friends love to find warm and cosy spots to nap. Unfortunately, this sometimes means they may sneak into dangerous places such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers. Our vets often see cases of cats getting stuck in these machines, which can lead to serious accidents. 🟣 Here are some tips to keep your kitty safe: 🐈 Always Check Before You Close: Make it a habit to check inside washing machines, dryers and dishwashers before you start them. 🐈 Close Doors Securely: Keep appliance doors closed when not in use to prevent curious cats from exploring. 🐈 Create Safe Warm Spots: Provide your cat with warm and comfy alternatives such as heated cat beds or cosy blankets. 🐈 Be Mindful of Small Spaces: Cats love small, enclosed spaces. Ensure cupboards, drawers,and other small areas are cat-proofed. 🐈 Supervise Laundry Time: If possible, keep your cat out of the laundry room while you're doing chores. Keeping these tips in mind can help ensure a safe and warm winter for you and your feline friend! 🐾💕 💜 #waggydog #waggydogmarketing #petindustry #veterinary #petmarketing #vets #vetsocialmedia #petsocialmedia #socialmediaforpets #socialmediaforvets #cats #winter #CatSafety #WinterTips #PetSafety #FelineFriends
