"It is also critical that any policy designed to protect public safety is based on robust evidence and we are deeply concerned about the lack of data behind this decision and its potential to prevent dog bites" https://t.co/bQKSMMsRZz

We sympathise with anyone who has been involved in a dog attack.

We support measures to improve public safety but banning XL bullies will not do this @RishiSunak.

Irresponsible dog breeding & ownership need to be tackled.

It's essential that Govt works with experts in this field to fully understand the wide-reaching consequences of banning XL bullies and puts the right measures in place, otherwise it risks repeating failings and mistakes of the past 32 years. #ReviewTheAct

@ProfPeel @CarriWestgarth @CompAnimalPsych @herzoghal Happy to be interviewed if you know of anyone planning more on the topic 😊

[Imogen Lloyd @ImogenLloyd7]

@CarriWestgarth @ProfPeel @CompAnimalPsych @herzoghal Definitely the case for me. The chihuahuas get so much attention, and it's always people telling me how small they are. Had people stop on busy roads to shout out the window 'what dog is that?!' or get ppl telling me the stereotypes of the breed

[Kat Littlewood @KatLittlewood]

What an excellent resource for dog owners (and their vets)!

Today, depending on where you are, it might be time to update that file name from “December 2021 Draft” to “January 2022 Draft”, and that counts as writing.

Happy New Year. 🎉

A new study suggests play could reduce hunting behavior and, perhaps more importantly for many cat guardians, reduce the number of prey animals brought home as unwanted “gifts.” - Andrea Carne talks play and predation in cats | Now on the BARKS blog: https://t.co/57VIoYmVs5 #cats

Great talk as always from @TheFatVet at @UKPFMA Pet Obesity Awareness Day 👏👏 Huge weight loss goals can feel daunting so why not just start a small journey with a 12 week plan for your pet? Any weight loss for an obese pet is an achievement 🏆🐶🐱🐰 #rethinkingpetobesity
