USEFUL INFORMATION~:
- By law, your dog must have a tag on its collar with your mobile number and address on…or it is a £5000 fine if caught without.
- By law, you need to be over 16 in order to be a responsible for taking a dog for a walk.
- To remove the smell of fox poo from your dog…rub ketchup on the area a couple of times before shampooing…the combination of vinegar and tomatoes in the ketchup neutralises the smell.
- For teething puppies or a summer treat…give them a frozen carrot to chew on: the cold soothes their gums while the carrot, as well as being a healthy snack, keeps them occupied and entertained.
- In the occurance of an upset tummy, as an alternative to chicken & rice, we recommend ‘Chappie’ tinned food: it is gentle on the stomach, light and healthy.
- You can use Manuka honey (at least 15+) to help heal scrapes and cuts, they will still get the benefits if they lick it. To soothe a rash, water it down with hot water and apply with cotton wool when cooled.
- For itchy eye infections a camomile tea wash is very soothing.
