☀️🐾 Hot weather & BBQ season reminder 🐾☀️

With the warmer weather finally here, it’s important to keep our pets safe while enjoying the sunshine 💛

A few things to watch out for:
🔥 BBQ food like onions, corn on the cob, cooked bones & fatty meats can be dangerous for dogs
🍺 Alcohol and sugary drinks should always be kept out of reach
🍫 Chocolate and sweets are toxic to pets
🌡️ Hot pavements can burn paws — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their feet
💧 Always make sure pets have access to fresh water and shade

For cats:
🌸 Lilies and some garden plants can be highly toxic
☀️ Conservatories & sheds can become dangerously hot very quickly

Remember — our pets can overheat much faster than we do 🐶🐱

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine 💛
Love,
The Rusty Pack 🐾

🌞 Bank Holiday vibes are here, and that means BBQ season is officially ON! 🍔🔥
If you’re firing up the grill this weekend, don’t forget about your four-legged friends 🐾
Here are a few quick tips to keep your dog safe while you enjoy the sunshine:
🐶 Keep dogs away from hot grills – curious noses + heat = bad combo
🍗 No sneaky scraps – cooked bones, fatty foods, and onions can be dangerous
🍫 Watch out for toxic treats – chocolate, alcohol, and certain marinades are a no-go
🌭 Secure the space – consider a safe, shaded spot where your dog can relax away from the chaos
💧 Fresh water always – especially if it’s warm out!
At Rusty Pack, we’re all about making sure your adventures (and BBQs) are safe and stress-free for your pups ❤️

Tag us in your Bank Holiday weekend moments – we’d love to see your pack enjoying the sunshine! ☀️🐕

🐣🌼 Happy Easter from The Rusty Pack! 🌼🐣

Wishing all our lovely clients and followers a wonderful Easter weekend 💛
We hope it’s filled with family time, chocolate… and plenty of wagging tails 🐶🐾
⚠️ A little Easter reminder for pet safety: Please keep chocolate well out of reach — it’s toxic to dogs and small animals 🍫❌
Other Easter treats to watch out for: 🐰 Hot cross buns (contain raisins/sultanas)
🥚 Chocolate eggs & sweets
🌸 Spring flowers like lilies (toxic to cats)
🧺 Leftovers with onions, garlic or bones
If you’re ever unsure, it’s always best to keep it away from curious paws 🐾
Enjoy the long weekend and stay safe 💛

Love,
The Rusty Pack 🐶

🐶 The beauty of solo walks 🐶
Some dogs don’t thrive in busy group walks — and that’s okay 💛
With solo walks, your dog gets calm, dedicated 1-1 time. No pressure, no stress, just a walk tailored completely to them.
It’s not just about exercise…
It’s about building trust, confidence, and a genuine bond 🐾
And of course — plenty of cuddles along the way 🥰
