Dr Harry's Best Pet Advice

Dog Beach Etiquette
Dr. Harry says: We all love a beach trip, and there are many dog-friendly spots – check with your local council – where dogs are welcome. There are rules though. Your dog must obey voice commands so you can prevent annoyance to fellow beachgoers, and you’ll also need to pick up after your pooch. Remember to slip, slop, slap – dogs with white skin need protection. Some will even learn to wear caps and sunnies! Lastly, there are dogs that, believe it or not, cannot swim. For those, you’ll need a canine buoyancy vest and you’ll have to teach them to dog paddle!
