🐾 We work with SAMH to support Scotland’s people and pets! 💙 Today is Blue Monday – often considered the most difficult day of the year for mental well-being – we want to remind everyone that help is at hand. The cost-of-living crisis has put a strain on pet owners, with 220,000 people in Scotland cutting back on pet food and care. At the same time, 1 in 3 adults reported a decline in their mental health since the pandemic. Through our partnership with SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health), we’re working to keep pets and people together by offering support with pet care, mental health resources, and advice during challenging times. Together, we’re training our teams to recognize early signs of mental health struggles and animal welfare issues, ensuring the right help is provided when it's needed most. Whether it's support with mental health, pet food banks, vet care, or behavioural advice, we’re here for you. We all know the positive impact pets have on our well-being, and we’re committed to making sure no one faces the heartbreak of giving them up. This Blue Monday, remember – you’re not alone. Let’s look after each other and our beloved pets. 💜 #PeopleAndPets #BlueMonday #YouAreNotAlone #BetterTogether #ScottishSPCA #SAMH #MentalHealthMatters #PetCare

Pet Trust UK Notice: Owners who do not microchip cats face £500 fines, don’t let this be you !! Starting today, new legislation will require all cats to be microchipped, bringing them in line with existing laws for dogs. This important change promotes responsible pet ownership and enhances the safety and well-being of our feline companions. Microchipping is a simple, safe, and effective way to provide a permanent form of identification for your cat. It significantly increases the chances of being reunited if they ever go missing, alleviating an owner's worst nightmare. Let's embrace this positive step forward in animal welfare and ensure all our pets are protected and accounted for. https://lnkd.in/eYzfqjjr Pet Trust Uk  #PetWelfare #CatMicrochipping #AnimalSafety #ResponsiblePetOwnership 

🐾🏡 Saturday - Pet Stories, Learnings from Pets: Series 3 🐾🏡 In a world where stories of abandoned pets tug at our heartstrings, it's vital to understand the gravity of such situations. What does it truly mean for a pet to be #abandoned? When an owner fails to fulfill the #responsibility and #commitment they made to care for a pet, the consequences are dire. Pets, accustomed to the warmth of a family, suddenly find themselves cast aside, left to navigate the harsh realities of the streets alone. Imagine the confusion and fear they must face, wandering amidst the chaos of traffic, #seekingsolace in a world that no longer welcomes them. Even more heartbreaking is the realization that other dogs, once potential companions, may reject them, leaving them #isolated and #vulnerable. The truth is, many #abandonedpets do not survive for long. They lack the instincts and skills necessary to thrive in the unforgiving streets, making their plight all the more tragic. For anyone considering bringing a pet into their lives, remember: a pet is not a toy or a fleeting novelty. They are sentient beings deserving of love, care, and respect. If you cannot commit to caring for a pet for life, think twice before #buying or #adopting. Pets offer us #unconditionallove and companionship, but they also rely on us for their well-being. Let's honor that bond by being responsible pet owners and advocates for the voiceless. Join me in following Shalini Ramesh and others who raise awareness for animal welfare. Together, let's raise our voices and make a difference for our furry friends. 🐾💙 #PetCare #AnimalWelfare #ResponsibleOwnership #LoveForPets #ShaliniRamesh #VoiceForTheVoiceless

🔗 Enhancing Pet Care with Safe Water Activities 🔗 As professionals in the pet care industry, promoting safe water practices is essential for ensuring that pets enjoy summer activities without risk. Here are key considerations for dog owners looking to introduce their pets to swimming: Assess Suitability: Understand each dog’s ability and comfort with water. Safety Measures: Utilize life jackets and monitor water conditions and temperature. Educational Outreach: Inform pet owners about the importance of post-swim care to prevent health issues. By advocating for these practices, we can enhance the well-being of pets and enrich the services offered by pet care professionals. https://zurl.co/UBiE #PetCareProfessionals #DogSafety #VeterinaryHealth
