As the sun is shining I thought it would be fun to look at the sort of fun things you could think of doing with you dog outside of the normal walk and fetch games.

Summer is here and so far we have actually had some nice weather. The sun is lovely but we need to remember our dog’s health in this weather as their bodies cope very differently with heat than ours.

Do you worm and flea treat your dog or cat regularly? If not, you could be leaving them and you at some quite serious risks. One pile of poo could contain literally millions of eggs and worms which can be passed to humans and replicate in your dog to cause fatal health conditions.

There is lots of ongoing research into dog psychology and importantly how they relate to us as humans. Reading some of this recently it made me smile how much dogs are still learning at a pace to understand and work with us as humans. I thought this month I would share some of this with you.

So we’ve all probably heard something about the new Microchipping laws that came into place on the 6th of April 2016. From experience of talking to owners however not everyone is clear on what these really mean and what they should be doing and so I thought it would be worth reiterating the requirements in this month’s article.

So all being fair last month we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of spaying and so this month it seemed only fair we turned our attention to the male variety and castration.

We often get asked when dogs come into us at Calagran Four Paws Hotel whether we recommend spaying and in general our answer is yes as it holds so many advantages for you and your dog. However, I thought this month it might be worth explaining the pros and cons of spaying.

"I've seen some horrible kennels and i hated leaving my dogs in any kennels after seeing these. I just wouldn't do it. That was before seeing this C FOUR PAWS. This place lets you visit without appointments (alot of kennels only let you visit with appointments so you don't get to see how they're really run or how the dogs are treated), the space for your dogs is more than enough, they are so well looked after and they even keep you informed with photos! Even their prices are great. This is the only place i would ever leave my dogs. The people here are amazing! I recommend C FOUR PAWS to everyone who loves their dog!"

"Wouldn't take my boys anywhere else! Trust the Calagran team completely and that's important when you are leaving your precious pets in their care. Thank you Calagran, the boys will be back again soon for a holiday!"

"We find that it can be a distressing time not only for us but also our dogs to leave them in kennels while we go away, but leaving them here at CforPaws from checking them in to picking them up we new they were in safe hands. The staff are brilliant with your dogs. The kennels are so clean & spacious. They had plenty of space to run around in.
One of our dogs has abit of separation anxiety but here she was truly looked after which is a big comfort for us. We also noticed they had even been bathed before going home, what a great service. We cannot praise all the staff enough. Outstanding service all the way. A very big thankyou for looking after our pets Willow & Thor. They will definitely be back to visit you.
Merry Christmas to you All."

"A brilliant safe, secure, happy environment for my dog Titch yet again this year, always made very welcome with very capable staff - I know she is in good hands even with the worry she is taking medication while I am away. I know I can relax on holiday enjoying the lovely photos I am sent of her blissfully playing in the paddock. I would not hesitate to recommend C Four Paws."

"We first met Julie at Off The Leash in Bakewell. The next time we went away we knew that Calagran was a place we wanted our WCS Jarvis to stay. We went for a visit first and Jarvis loved running around the paddock, he's a live wire and needs his exercise. Finding somewhere where he would be able to run round and not cooped up was paramount. The whole place is spotlessly clean, roomy and modern and with all the home comforts your dog needs away from home. Jarvis never seems distressed when we leave him, or appon picking him up. He's visited many times now and really seems to have the best time when he does. It's great to recieve pictures too of your dog having fun while your away and missing them."

"My dog had never been in kennels before this quarantine so I was worried how she would cope but the team were fantastic."

"My dog, Roscoe has been staying at the pet hotel since he was 4 months old and I can honestly say that he loves going and I am told he doesn't miss us when there!!!
Roscoe always has the pet taxi service there and back and a bath before he comes home. He always smells divine.
I love how we get photos sent by email during his stay.
I know that Roscoe is very well looked after. He loved the play paddock and thoroughly enjoys his stays."
