Dog Owners - Are You Aware Of....

[Canary42]

Both are new to me, so just in case one of you might have missed them :-

1. The UK law on collars

2. Alabama Rot

I wonder if they will ever work out what causes the Alabama Rot.

I would love to have another dog but they need walking several times per day. I am getting too lazy for that.

You could get a dog Walker Susan ( Wolfe).

Bit difficult to avoid Alabama rot when the cause isn’t known. There were only around 281 dogs affected in the UK between November 2012 and February 2022, so numbers are extremely low. Heartbreaking for those owners who’s dogs contract it but not, IMO worth changing dog walking habits for.

[bednobs]

which particular law are you referring to re collars?

[wolf63]

anne, that would be a total cop-out. I used to love wandering around the Inch in Perth in the middle of the night with my first little puppy.

I'm taking one day at a time just now - trying to organise downsizing my accommodation.

I understand Susan.. keep at it, it’s always a pleasure to see you posting .
