Pets Can Work Wonders!

Scientific research proves that petting your dog can aid convalescence - and even help cure certain conditions. Stroking and petting can relax a person, get rid of palpitations and even stop heart attack victims suffering a repeat. Stroke victims have learned to use their limbs and speech muscles again when introduced to a pet and children with phobias have overcome them with the help of a four-legged friend. It's not only dogs that help. Trials have proven tropical fish, guinea pigs, parrots, cats and rabbits can all work the same magic dogs do. (Article taken from the News Of The World January 2005)

The Animal Welfare Act 2007

The Animal Welfare Act came into force in April 2007. The new law affects every pet owner in the country. If convicted of animal cruelty a person could face a fine of up to £20,000 or even a prison sentence. Visit the RSPCA website Animal Care section (see banner below) or contact 070 333 5999 to request a copy of the 12 pet care fact cards they have produced setting out some basic info about caring for different types of pets.
