What are Ticks, and Should I be Concerned?

What are Ticks? Ticks are small blood sucking creatures. They can be as small as a poppy seed, or having fed, an adult can be the size of a pea or larger. Because they are so small, you may mistake them for a freckle, or a spec of dirt. They inject an anaesthetic into the skin, so you’re not likely to feel them feeding. Ticks are blind and detect the animal through heat and carbon dioxide emitted by the body. Contrary to popular belief, ticks do not jump or fly. They tend to either climb or fall on to their unsuspecting victim. They can hang around for a few hours before starting to feed, but once they start, they will do so until they are full, which tends to take between 5 and 7 days. There are a number of different species of tick. The most common in the UK is the deer / sheep tick, while in certain parts of Europe, more dangerous ticks are prevalent.

5 Road Trip Tips That Will Give Your Dog the Adventure of a Lifetime

Changing seasons are made for road trips—but if you’re planning on taking your furry friend with you, there are a few things you need to remember before inviting them to hop in the car and enjoy the ride. Here's what you should know to make sure your pooch has a healthy and safe trip. 1. Treat Pet Food with Care In warmer weather, pet foods have a higher risk of spoilage. Foods high in fat or with added fish oils or omega-3s are more likely to spoil (since the fats can break down) and potentially make your dog sick. Pack food and treats in an airtight container and use a cooler to keep food cool and dry. Once you’ve arrived at your destination, take the food with you into your hotel room instead of leaving it in a hot car. 2. Offer Water Frequently Dogs are susceptible to heatstroke when they don't get enough water. Try a snap-in water bowl if you’re travelling with your dog in a crate or keep a collapsible dog bowl on hand. Be sure to make water stops at least every couple of ...

Be More Dog!

We think O2's got it right BE MORE DOG! More dog is the way to go. We spend so much time rushing from one place to another, rather than appreciating our surroundings and enjoying where we are. Why can't we all just be more dog! Don't walk past the tree - smell it. Kick a leg up to it. Just be more dog! Why do we ignore the passenger sitting next to us on the tube or bus. Be more dog! Sniff 'em out a little (not literally), but in a friendly, more dog-like sort of way. Smile at them. Say "hi", or say "bless you" (not a bible-bashing style "bless you", but a sneezey one). So go out and get it licked. Lets all be more dog! What's more exciting than being let off the lead for a run around, saying hi to everyone, and seeing what they've brought along for lunch. Get excited. Enjoy yourself and play with life some more. Be more dog! And once you've done all of that - you've barked at the posti...
