What is Pet Blood Bank?

Summer Walks
Summer walks are ideal for us humans, nicer weather, longer evenings, an excuse to get yourself out…. even to a pub garden. However, the warmer weather does cause some issues for your furry friend.
Striding into the Den
Yes… I don’t mind admitting, Dragons’ Den is a pretty nerve wracking experience. Somewhat akin to a first bungee jump off the Clifton Suspension Bridge I would imagine.
Calling all dog walkers, dog sitters and dog trainers…now is the time to say a big THANK YOU
When Covid hit in March 2020 business went into decline for many dog walkers, trainers and dog sitters. With families at home there was no requirement for their services and family members were often fighting to take their pets for a walk so they had the excuse they needed to get out and exercise without breaking Covid restrictions.
Support Dogs
Support have Dogs been training life-changing dogs for adults and children with autism, epilepsy and a number of serious medical conditions since 1992. So this year they’re celebrating 30 years of transforming lives, thanks to the very special partnerships they’ve created between canine and human.
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity that trains dogs to alert deaf people to important and lifesaving sounds they would otherwise miss – sounds that many people take for granted, like the doorbell, alarm clock and even danger signals such as the fire alarm.
Easter
Easter is a time for celebration in many cultures across the globe but here in the UK it can be a dangerous time for our pooches with all that chocolate, and hot cross buns full of raisins, both of which can make your dog extremely ill.
Doodle Trust
Like us, if you have a doodle at home, you know they’re one of the most loving and energetic breeds and can make valuable members of the family.

Dog A.I.D

The dogs you see carrying out these everyday tasks are called Assistance Dogs and help to give disabled people more confidence and independence.
