Meet handsome Barkley, 9-year-old cockapoo visiting us for his yearly booster & healthcheck. Please always make sure your pet is fully protected against common, sometimes life-threatening, diseases & parasites found in their environment. Ask your vet for details. #AnimalWelfare

When the sun is out, it can be tempting to take your dogs out for long walks, but it's important to make sure it's not too hot before you do to keep your dog safe.

As temperatures rise, please be mindful of hot roads and pavements when walking your dog. Check the pavement by holding your hand on it for five seconds. If it's too hot for you, then it's too hot for your canine companion.

Pets may reduce loneliness & instil a sense of purpose. Older adults might stand to benefit even more, according to research on the relationship between older adults and their pets. Read in article by @HABRITweets #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

As temperatures rise, avoid walking or exercising your dogs in the middle of the day to prevent sunstroke, overheating, and burnt pads from hot tarmac.
Remember, if in doubt, don't go out. #DogsAtDawn #DogsAtDusk

So much to be grateful for when you’re a pet owner. So many benefits for our physical and mental health. Thanks @animalhealthEU
Your dog helps to improve your health! How?
🐕Dog ownership increases the amount of physical exercise that people take, with the health benefits that this brings.
🐩Dog walking also reduces social isolation, which is a major contributor to mental health.

Whether you are a new charity/community group looking for support, an individual hoping to make a local difference, or a business wanting to make more philanthropic connections in your area, it's good to know there is a community foundation nearby:
