Autumn Walks with your Dog
Complete guide to ticks
Stash chocolates out of reach
We love tucking into chocolate at Christmas, but it can make our fourlegged friends very poorly.
Paws off that pudding!
The dried currants, raisins and sultanas (also found in mince pies) can leave dogs feeling very ruff indeed. The same goes for blue cheese and macadamia nuts.
Dispose of scraps safely
The dog (or other pets) might beg you for a turkey leg, but resist those puppy dog eyes, because cooked bones have a tendency to splinter when chewed.
Sweep up prickly pines
Protect fragile foot pads by cleaning up dropped needles. Gnawing at the tree branches can irritate dogs' mouths and tummies too.
Consider tethering your tree
To an adventurous dog, your twinkling Christmas tree looks like a tantalising playground. Consider securing it, so it can’t be toppled over.
Stick to plain water
Avoid chemical Christmas tree preservatives which can be toxic for our four-legged friends, who often love lapping up water from the tree stand.
Dog-proof your decorations
Fairy lights and glass baubles add Christmas sparkle, just dangle them where they can’t be chewed or broken underfoot.
Be berry aware
Poinsettias, ivy, holly and mistletoe can give dogs a sore tummy, especially the berries.
Keep drinks off the coffee table
Alcohol can make curious canines wobbly and drowsy, just like us!
Be clever with candles
Position them where wagging tails won’t fan the flames.
Watch pups around presents
Plastic toys, silica gel sachets and batteries might be intriguing for Lottie they can be hazardous if swallowed.
Provide a quiet retreat
Dogs can find noise and excitement overwhelming, so offer Lottie a stress-free space away from loud music and Christmas crackers.
Mop up antifreeze spillages
It’s every driver’s friend in winter, but antifreeze is highly toxic to dogs, who are often attracted to the taste.

Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is a disorder in which a dog experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from owners or their home, to whom they have a strong emotional attachment. Generally this attachment is with a particular member of the family.
Many owners leave the house without knowing the full extend of the anguish their absence has on their dog. Many assume that the dog just sleeps, or if they are aware that they bark when first left, they assume that the dog just stops and then settles down. The emotional turmoil some dogs suffer various in degrees dog to dog. Some owners of course have no idea that their dogs suffers from Separation Anxiety until a neighbour complains or they return home to destruction.
We work hard at establishing a bond from puppy hood, but sometimes, if we don't train the dog to be alone in the house, they cannot cope when they are left and this can be very detrimental to the mindset and welfare of your dog AND you!
Contrary to belief, the cure is NOT leaving them alone in the house. Careful steps should be taken to slowly wean the dog off from needing your company in the home before you should leave them completely.
Separation Anxiety keeps me especially busy each year during January to March after the Christmas holidays and after school holidays, when dogs find themselves home alone after periods of busy households and plenty of company.
My 'Training to be Home Alone' leaflet will talk you through the various stages to help your dog cope and get them feeling better without needing to be with you constantly.
It could be the best download you'll ever get!

Could you voluntarily foster a dog or cat?
Long or short term!?
Fostering involves assisting a rescue centre by fostering dogs that are perhaps not coping with the confinement and stress of kennels.
Often a homeless dog stands a better chance of being adopted from a foster home when they are not suffering from stress and therefore able to show their true personality. You will be helping to alleviate this suffering by enabling a dog to have some return to normality instead of the traumatic confinement of kennels.
This is also helpful to a rescue centre as it enables them to free up kennel space and therefore assist more dogs in need.
Most organisations will request that foster carers are home based or do not leave a foster dog for longer than 4 hours. All fostering agreements differ, so please ensure you discuss this fully when applying.
