We are very lucky that most of Guernsey's beaches are dog friendly during the summer months. However from last week on the 1st October the beaches where dogs are banned between 1st May and 30th September have the restrictions lifted and these are –
Dogs are not permitted on Lihou Island and Lihou causeway all year round.
If you're thinking of getting a puppy, it's important to do your homework first. GSPCA Welfare & Behaviour Manager Lorna Prince shares this guidance which was put together in association with other animal welfare groups, Defra and the British Veterinary Association to help prospective owners choose the right puppy for them:
1. Carry out your research first. Different dogs have different needs and temperaments depending on, for example, their age, breed, health status, gender, and past experiences. A vet will also be able to give you information and advice on this.
All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 legged friends come to work and this ear Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places on Friday 21st June.
Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.
When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work. Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?
Harley the staffy has been at the GSPCA for just over a month looking for a home so spent her Christmas at the GSPCA.
This very sweet, loving dog has stolen the hearts of the staff and volunteers and indeed everyone she meets.
Earlier this week Harley visited Isabelle Vets for a spay check to ensure she was neutered.
All of Harleys health checks since her arrival showed a healthy staffy but when she went to the vets and was put under anesthetic they found a very angry, rapid growing growth an one of her legs.
Next Friday June 22nd is Bring Your Dog to Work Day.

Discussing the benefits of taking a dog to work might just result in a match with a dog we have in for homing.

Last week we had a visit from Guernsey Press reporter Helen Devonshire who got to meet Bengi the oldest dog in need of a home at the GSPCA.
Helen was visiting as the Guernsey Press were kindly doing an article to try and help find Bengi a new and loving home.
GSPCA kennel staff Teresa Mourant and Seb Goman had the privilege to show Helen one of their favourite dogs currently in our care.
Teresa said "We all love Bengi at the GSPCA as he is such a character."
