Beware Firework Season

Many of your pets may have already been terrified by early fireworks. There are various methods you can try to alleviate the terror that some dogs (and other animals suffer) at this time, but however you manage the problem, these next few weeks will be some of the worst nights for fireworks.

Regardless of how your dog (or cat maybe too) copes there are a few basics that are worth checking in case the worst happens and your pet escapes you or your property from sheer terror. Please check not only that your pet’s collar is tight enough to stay on if he/she should become scared, but also check that the ID tag is both attached and fully legible too. Many tags suffer worn engraving over time and they become virtually illegible. If you use the barrel type of ID please check that it’s intact and still complete with the vital contents. If you have moved home did you remember to re-register your pet’s microchip details to the new address and phone number or indeed replace the ID tag with one bearing up to date details?

Stock Appeal:

Fancy having a pre Christmas clear out to make some room? We are in need of stock suitable to sell at car boot fairs or at local fairs/events. The things we need the most are DVD’s, children’s toys, board games and console games.

Used Postage Stamp and Ink Cartridge Appeal:

Many of you may already know that the Retired Greyhound Trust collect used postage stamps to raise funds for the greyhounds in their care. For some of you collecting the occasional stamp here and there and finally getting around to posting a collection off may be a bit of a nuisance. We also collect old mobile phones.
