Be a Responsible Dog Owner

Like all worthwhile things in life, owning a dog involves responsibilities as well as pleasures……..

The pleasures are obvious but sometimes the responsibilities, not just to the dog but also to other people and the environment, are not always appreciated by the owner.

Basic Obedience Training is Essential !

A well-trained and disciplined dog is an asset and a credit to YOU; the dogs owner.

Don’t allow your dog to foul public footpaths or children’s play areas – if the dog does, use a scooping device or the free plastic bags available, to clean up after it.

Keep your dog on the lead near roads or anywhere that your dog would be a nuisance if allowed to run free.

Certain breeds of dogs have strict guidelines imposed on the owner by local councils to ensure the safety of other dogs and humans.

It is most important to take the time to train these types of dogs correctly in order to avoid certain situations and the negative publicity generated by unnecessary attacks.

This may save your dog’s life and save you from costly legal and medical fees.

Keep Your Dog Healthy

Keeping your dog healthy, well fed and exercised will ensure you and others can enjoy your pet for many years.

Warning !! As temperatures begin to rise, the RSPCA is warning pet owners about the dangers of heat stress.

Water & shade must be available at all times and that water must be kept within easy access of your pet.

Remember !! Animals may knock water containers over, so it is always best to provide at least 2 sturdy & stable containers and place them in a shaded area.

The water should be checked daily to ensure it is always fresh and clean !
