Ideas on things you could do to have more fun with your dog!
August 2016
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.
Pet parasites the truth about risks & how to prevent…

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.
Caroline Royle (6th October 2016) "Have been bringing Indie here for a couple of years now and can go on holiday with complete confidence that he will be taken care of, with as much attention and care as if he were at home. Everyone there is knowledgeable, friendly and confident. The services offered are 5 star indeed on every aspect"
joanne shaw (8th August 2016) "Not everyone understands how special greyhounds are and the extra care they need. You do and we are really happy to leave out pointy noses with you as we know they are happy."
Phil and Carol Hurman (5th April 2017) "Our overall experience with Norm and Nellies' stay was fabulous. We were apprehensive at kenneling them anywhere but we should not have been worried at all.
We received emails and pictures of them having great fun in the field and when we picked them up they looked great.We can't thank you enough for the care they received especially as Nellie is a very nervous girl. Thanks to you all for being so wonderful and we won't hesitate to bring them again when we have our next holiday."
Rachel Reed (6th November 2018) "So happy with Dexter's stay, he'd never been in kennels before and to receive photos and text messages to let us know how he was getting on was really thoughtful and gratefully received!"
Andy (3rd November 2018) "Exceptional kennels that offer a 5 star service throughout. I sometimes get the impression Doug prefers staying here rather than at home! Staff are brilliant and take genuine care of your pet, nothing is too much trouble! Highly recommend 😀"
Ottilie-marie (8th August 2016) "Cala gran four paws hotel is a 5* facility. I always feel happy to leave my dog here, I know she's safe and well looked after. She always gets treated like she's at home. Wouldn't take her anywhere else since we've been here."
Maddison Coke (30th October 2016) "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."
