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.

As summer approaches we all spend more time around water and our dogs likewise can love a swim and a paddle. This month then I thought I would talk about some of the safety items you should be thinking about with the safety of your dog in mind.

As the weather improves and we and our dogs are out and about the higher the likelihood of accidents increases that may require some basic first aid for your pet.

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.

Well it appears winter is finally upon on us and as so many articles are written about dogs in hot cars in summer I thought it was worth writing one about some of the things to think about in winter as well.

"Fantastic service, extremely friendly and the dog is always happy!"

"Kennels and runs are spacious, spotless and all the dogs always look happy and well cared-for - we've even had a photo of Trudi being tucked into bed for the night! The paddock is great for the dogs to have a run around and play session in. Trudi is already booked in for more stays this year and next year."

"Great location in the fields, lovely knowledgeable and caring staff, clean and spacious kennels, they can't do enough for you and your pet."

"They went the extra mile to put my mind at ease and feel like they were properly looking after Mai throughout her stay. They were warm and friendly and no detail was too small for my dogs stay. Thank you for looking after her so well."

"Booked an hour this morning for my retired greyhound who has regular off leash time in my large garden, but otherwise has to settle for on-lead walks around the local area and park where areas are not fully enclosed. We lost his adopted brother a couple of weeks back and both of us needed a distraction from grieving, in a safe play environment. Was lovely to watch him run, wander and roam around completely safely in the Play Paddock today and even put his paws in water! The area affords complete peace of mind with safe grassy area and safe, high fences. He is friendly with all - but I could tell by his reaction to people passing that he enjoyed interacting with the staff there and that they genuinely cared for dogs. Would definitely book again and would encourage group bookings and friends to have 'gotcha' anniversaries/parties there for rescue dogs etc."

"The facilities are just simply amazing. For Sox, after being rescued as a stray from the Caribbean island she was now in the lap of luxury!! I was really anxious to think she'd be in quarantine for 7 or 8 weeks and in a tiny couped up kennel. This was definately not the case. Her run was spacious, she could see the other dogs but obviously wasn't able to socialise as was quarantined. She even had a lamp above her bed should she get cold. When I visited the staff
placed a chair in her run so I could be with her. Nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere was clean and it was lovely to see staff playing and giving the animals cuddles.
For me the only negative point is that they are based so far away from me so I don't he the chance to put my two dogs in kennels when I go on holiday!!!!
Highly highly recommended. Couldn't fault a thing"

"We have never used a boarding service before, and were naturally worried about leaving our two dogs while we attended a family funeral. Our old boy has been with us for 9 years and never been away from us and our young lass is quite a nervous dog who has also never been away from us. We needn't have worried, they both settled and seemed to enjoy the experience, and we returned to two healthy happy dogs. They were quick to respond to email enquiring about their well being, which put our mind at rest, and we got a good summary of their stay when we collected them. Thanks to all the staff at C Four Paws for looking after our pooches so well. Would definitely use them again without hesitation."
Marie Martin (8th August 2016)
"Perfect"
Beverly Molloy (9th August 2016)
"Best place for a great dogs stay. My dogs love them and want to stop when we go by to see them."
