Grass seeds are a danger ALL dog owners need to be aware of. It is weird how the smallest of seeds can cause the most damage and can be fatal. Yes, a grass seed can kill your dog. certain types are worse than others so make sure you know what your dog is walking through and what the seed type is. It is great watching them bound through the grasses and jump over the stems. Koda loves it and will almost always have a funny 5 mins in a open field of long grass. Although i try and limit it, ask him to walk to heel, calm him down etc there is that 1% of the time he will get a run in before i have got in a command. i hope you find this video informative and if you feel your dog has got a grass seed problem please dont hesitate and get them STRAIGHT TO THE VETS!

Dogs naturally lose old or damaged hair by shedding. Although shedding is a natural process for the dog to do, the frequency can vary between breeds and be based on the health of the dog. Dogs generally shed twice a year, once to rid themselves of their winter coat and a second to prepare for winter. I will show you how to help your dog in these times of shedding and save your hoover from excess clumps of hair in your living room! In the wild, the combination of temperature and day-length provide the triggers that ‘tell’ wild animals what season it is and stimulate their bodies to begin go about creating the correct coat. Many animals shed their insulating undercoat each spring to help them cope with the warmer summer temperatures, and regrow it again as colder weather comes in. Did you learn something from this video? Did you find a tool/grooming brush to help you manage your dogs moulting? As always please don’t forget to subscribe!!

An all too common problem that many owners are not aware of. Claws just keep growing just like our finger nails do but we are able to cut ours to a reasonable length that suits us. Dogs have to walk on their nails to file them down naturally, otherwise they are cut by us, groomers or vets. If the nail is too long it can cause pain, discomfort and hinder or even aid in certain conditions like arthritis. A dog should not bite at their nails to “trim” or “shorten” them. If you notice your dog biting at a single nail or multiple nails, he or she is most likely itchy around the nails. Would be worth looking into or perhaps a Vet visit just to be on the safe side. Trauma to nails may happen in various forms such as human error during nail clipping, cutting too close to the quick, nail ripped out during an activity. Many different things can lead to problems Indoor dogs and dogs that walk only on soft surfaces may have longer nails due to less wear on the nails. for example those that live in rural areas and are walked only on grass/woodland paths etc Do you do your dogs nails at home? Do you take your dogs to a groomer/vet to have their nails done? Does your dog let you touch her/his paws? Please keep an eye on those nails and take them to a professional if you are not comfortable doing them at home yourself. As always please SUBSCRIBE! Leave me a like and share

Grooming smaller dogs can be a challenge but not when they are as good as this little girly. After lockdown was lifted and I was allowed back to work I was finally allowed to sort out this into a nice tidy trim and give her a nice soapy bath.

Even field spaniels need a good groom every once in a while to get that coat of and start a fresh! This lovely lad enjoys his pampering and sent on his way with a spring to his step

A sprocker is a cross breed between a springer spaniel and a cocker spaniel. They require as much grooming as either of the individual parent breeds

Some Springers are blessed with thinner coats like this lovely girl and so a general bath and tidy up is all that is needed to keep this girls coat and skin in tip top condition.

Shih Tzu groom exactly how the owner likes it. Keeping her short means she is comfortable and easy to clean when she gets muddy.

Other Springers have a slightly heavier coat and need clipping. but this is down to the owners personal preference as you could also leave the coat as is.
