Firework season is here. Did you know that firework fears affect up to half the pet dog population? Firework fears may seem short-term, but they can lead to serious health & behaviour issues. Taking preventative measures can reduce the likelihood of noise fears developing. 🐕🎆

The Israel -Gaza ceasefire is reported to be holding. A glimmer of hope after the scale of suffering, intolerable pain, and loss.
