Great advice from Village Vet London

🚶🦮🌞 Walking your dog in the summer can be a delightful experience for both you and your canine companion.

The warm sunshine and longer days provide the perfect opportunity to explore new walks, visit dog parks, or enjoy a stroll around your local area. 🌳❄☀

It's important to keep in mind a few tips to ensure your dog's safety and comfort during these outings.

🤚 First, always check the pavement temperature with the back of your hand before heading out. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws. Opt for grassy areas or shaded paths to prevent burns.

💧 Secondly, bring plenty of water for both you and your dog to stay hydrated, and take breaks in the shade to cool down.

🌄Consider walking early in the morning or later in the evening when the temperatures are cooler.

Additionally, be mindful of signs of overheating, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy, and seek immediate shade and water if these occur.

With these precautions, you can enjoy the simple pleasures of a wagging tail and the happy companionship of your loyal friend.

💗💗 Today is Guinea Pig Appreciation Day 💗💗 Scott Veterinary Clinic celebrates our love for Guinea Pigs by sharing some fun facts with you:

🧡TODAY IS GUINEA PIG APPRECIATION DAY🧡
Today we celebrate our love for Guinea Pigs by sharing some fun facts with you:
❤️They don’t come from Guinea. In fact, guinea pigs originate from the Andes region of South America.
🧡They don’t get on with rabbits. It’s a popular myth that you can happily keep guinea pigs and rabbits together. Not only will rabbits bully guinea pigs, they have very different needs. Rabbits can also carry diseases which can be very harmful to guinea pigs.
💛They like to chat to each other. While they enjoy human affection, guinea pigs need to be with others of their own kind and should always be kept in pairs or small groups.
💚Guinea pigs are active up to 20 hours per day, and only sleep for short periods.
💙Guinea pigs need a high fibre diet supplemented with vitamin C, as they lack the enzyme needed to synthesise vitamin C and can only store it for short periods.
💜Typically guinea pigs live for 5-6 years, but some may live longer. The oldest recorded guinea pig, called Snowball, lived to the ripe old age of 14 years, 10 months, earning a place in the Guinness Book of Records!
