Since her leg amputation she gets tired so much easier, so we often come home to her still sleeping where as before she would always be there to greet us at the door. Just one of the small changes you notice with a 3 legged dog. Bless her heart! #3leggeddog #sleepingdog #dreamingdog #happydog #chocolatelabrador

·26m ago DOG & CAT OWNERS – WARNING ABOUT FOXTAILS (GRASS SEEDS) I’m sharing this urgent PSA after my dog Asia ended up at the vet with a foxtail up her nose! 😱 These tiny grass seeds are seriously dangerous for dogs and cats – especially in late spring and summer. They can get lodged in ears, paws, eyes, and noses, and even migrate under the skin. 🌾 What are foxtails? Foxtails (also called grass seeds) are barbed seeds from common wild grasses in the UK. Once they attach to your pet, they can burrow in and cause infection, swelling, sneezing, or worse – leading to costly vet visits. 🐾 Asia’s Story: One walk, one sniff – and Asia suddenly wouldn’t stop sneezing. Turns out a foxtail had worked its way deep into her nasal cavity. She had to be sedated at the vet to get it removed. ⚠️ Signs to watch for: • Sudden sneezing or pawing at nose • Limping or licking paws excessively • Shaking head or scratching ears • Redness, swelling, or discharge ✅ Check your pets after every walk, especially around paws, ears, and nose. Avoid long grass when possible. This isn’t just a summer thing – they’re already everywhere here in the UK right now. 🐶🐱 Keep your pets safe and spread the word! 💛 #FoxtailDanger #DogOwnerTips #CatOwnerTips #UKDogSafety #GrassSeedSeason #VetsTrip

·14h ago Just a quick tip for any dog parents – I started using this Plaque Protect powder from Herbal Dog Co for Asia and it’s actually made a big difference 🙌 She’s not a fan of having her teeth brushed (are any dogs?!), but this stuff is super easy – you just sprinkle it on their food once a day. It’s natural and somehow it actually helps with her breath and stops plaque building up. I noticed her teeth looking cleaner after a couple of weeks and her breath isn’t knocking me out anymore 😂 Definitely worth trying if your dog’s not into brushing or if you’re just trying to avoid dental drama later on. @Herbal Dog Company Official #dogbreath #dogteeth #doghealth #chocolatelabrador #dogproducts #labrador

·1d ago Did you know most rear-leg amputee dogs develop a hopping gait instead of a traditional run? 🐕💨 Meet Asia — our three-legged chocolate lab — who lost her back leg but never lost her zoomies 🐾💪 Without a second back leg for support, tripod dogs often adapt by bunny-hopping with their single rear leg and using their front legs for balance and speed. It’s totally normal, efficient, and honestly… kind of adorable 😅💛 Asia doesn’t walk — she bounces through life. #3leggeddog #chocolatelabrador #tripawd #beachdog #labrador #dogrunning
