Paws News- Late Summer 2024

*According to recent reports, more people are regretting getting a lockdown pet and are considering giving them up for adoption as they feel that they can no longer give the pet their full attention, or the financial squeeze is causing problems.
Of course, at no time should a pet be neglected and adoption may be best for the welfare of your pet, but if pet sitters in Cambridgeshire like myself can help adapt your pet to a new routine, then please consider using my Boredom Breaker Daycare Pop In service. Dog Walkers are an option to consider to give pets some exercise, training and attention if you are short of time because of work, even if you are working from home still.

Useful charities that can give more advice:

*Fun Fact-
Did you know that dogs have the IQ of a two year human, which is why they seem to understand toddler talk?! They have a short attention span of up to 10 minutes, which is why it is best to train them in short repetitive bursts with an end reward.
A cat can remember things for up to 16 hours! 

Travel Safe-
34% of drivers never use a dog car seat/crate or safety belt when out on the road, and 10% of drivers let their dog travel in the front passenger seat.
This could cost you 9 points on your licence, and a fine of up to £2500, and can also invalidate your car insurance! 
Please keep your pet as safe as you would a child when travelling.
