Our much loved furry friends can't tell us when they're feeling ruff! So it's good to know what to do to help them if they're feeling under the weather, or worse, if you have to help them in a medical emergency. I came across this really useful site, they're UK based too: PET FIRST AID ... Learn the skills you need to take care of your pet from a trained first aider. With online video training, it's like you're in the front row of class learning 1-on-1.

Dognappings: organised gangs behind a surge of dog thefts across the country Thousands of dogs are being stolen every year, many by organised gangs, and being sold on the black market in a trade increasingly driven by the internet. Read the Telegraph article It's advised to get your dog DNA'd as well as chipped, which will be a legal requirement in the UK in 2016. Pet Blood Bank UK I found this very useful information on Twitter from ONESMALLMOUSE.ORG If your beloved dog was involved in an accident, you'd do everything possible to get the life-saving treatment he or she needed. But what if your friend couldn't be saved, because the blood transfusion needed just wasn't available? It's a horrendous thought - but it demonstrates just how crucial the work of Pet Blood Bank UK is. This is a charity that provides a national canine blood bank. It's the only pet blood bank charity in the UK. The charity was launched at Crufts in 2007. By 2010 demand had shot up, and that year, the charity supplied 3,000 units of plasma and packed red blood cells to help dogs in need. Each unit collected can help save up to four dogs' lives. Rather like with human blood donation, Pet Blood Bank UK collects blood from doggy donors at organised collection sessions all over the UK. If you would like to find out more visit Pet Blood Bank UK "Right ........ That's as far as I want to go!" Our cherished pets may not always 'enjoy' a trip to the VET but a good relationship with your VET goes a long way to peace of mind for you and your furry, feathery or scaley loved ones.
