More Paws Pet Services

We put a lot of focus on keeping our pups cool in this heat, but our feline friends are often overlooked! 🐈

Our little Minnie (Ragdoll) is a prime example of the importance of keeping your cats cool. A few years ago during a similar heatwave, Minnie suffered a spontaneous interssusception (meaning a section of her intestine folded in on itself and went necrotic). She had major abdominal surgery, lost 10-15cm of her intestines, and then spent 2 weeks in ICU recovering with pancreatitis and aspiration pneumonia (which also nearly killed her). Shes very lucky to be alive!

Safe to say i have implemented a lot of cooling measures for the girls to prevent a repeat of that awful situation.

I strongly advise everyone to keep their cats inside and monitor them very closely during this heatwave ❤️

Our girls particularly love a bit of frozen tuna water!

Doggy ice lolly time! 🍦

SIGHTHOUND SOCIAL WALK! 🙌

As you are all aware, sighthounds hold a special place in our hearts here at More Paws! Our little Spuddy whippet is turning 7 years old soon and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get together with all his favourite speedy friends 🧡

All sighthounds/pointy dogs and owners welcome, you don't need to be a More Paws client to join!

(Please note the time/date is subject to change depending on the weather!).

We hope to see you all there!

Thats us all done for walks for the day! Everyone had arrived by 5.45am today and we were out the door walking by 6am 🌅

Daycares all here by 7am and out the door for walkies by 7.15am! 🥵👌

☀️🐾 HOT WEATHER WARNING 🐾☀️

With temperatures set to soar over the coming days, the safety and wellbeing of the dogs in our care is always our top priority.
Please be aware that while we will always aim to walk early where it's safe to do so, on some days temperatures may already be too high by 6am, meaning walks may need to be cancelled altogether. I will drop everyone a message the day before their daycare booking to discuss the options for the day.

During periods of extreme heat we may instead provide: 💦 Garden play and enrichment ❄️ Time relaxing in our air-conditioned dog room to keep cool and comfortable 💧 Plenty of fresh water and rest breaks 🌳 Time in shaded areas 🧩 Mental stimulation and indoor activities.

Please also remember:
🐾 Test the pavement with the back of your hand. 🚗 Never leave dogs in a parked car. 🥣 Ensure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water. 🌡️ Watch for signs of heatstroke.

Thank you for your understanding as we put your dogs' health and safety first. Keeping them cool, comfortable and happy will always be our priority. ❤️🐶

Happy friyay from me & the squad 😎

We are once again back on the hot weather protocol which means early morning walkies and paddling, lots of cooling games & activities in the daytime as well as the air-conditioning, and then a late bedtime walk if its cool enough 👌

Big thursday lineup 😍

Happy doggies 😍
