I have just heard from one of my clients that her dog had an operation to remove KELP from her stomach. This is actually the THIRD dog in just a few months that I have heard of getting an op for the same thing. One of these dogs did unfortunately not make it and died. So please keep an eye on what your dogs investigate at the beach. Especially when running on the dunes, there is lots of garbage, discarded food, food containers and feces lying around which can cause your dog to become very very sick. Other than that – keep on enjoying the sea, surf and sand with your dogs !!
Good advice Claire… our dogs love exploring all the smelly garbage idiotic people leave on the beach. Another one to look out for is fishermen’s bait and discarded rusty tackle. I’ve never had one of my dogs get hooked, but it’s a fear of mine!
