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.

Helen Freeborn (8th August 2016) "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."
Clare Tebb (6th June 2017) "Our boys love this place and as soon as they know where they are off to they start with the excited jumping about in the back of the car and cant get out quick enough and that is a sure fire show of how wonderful this place is. A dedicated hotel just to animals and the well kept areas the cleanliness the professional friendly staff and the whole feeling of, "Yes" we have made the best choice. The Hotel enables us to go away knowing that our most treasured boys are in good, safe, secure hands and are happy boys and we know that they are being looked after as if they were their own pets. Our two huge Labs are a handful,naughty and very strong and the girls welcome them with open arms. What more could you want with huge open airy runs a lovely warm sleep area and a lovely field to run about in. I cant recommend the Hotel enough."
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."
Vicky Bearder (30th July 2018) "I was a little worried about leaving Brandy and Jasper for so long (10 days) but shouldn’t have worried they have come home happy healthy dogs."
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."
