It is National Pet ID Week—a reminder of the vital role proper identification plays in keeping our pets safe.

From pet ID tags to public behaviour, UK dog laws are strict — and for good reason. This guide covers the key rules every responsible dog owner should know, including leash laws, microchipping, fouling fines, and more.
UK law (Control of Dogs Order 1992) requires dogs to wear a collar or tag with owner details in public. But at home, collars can rub the fur or skin, so many owners remove them indoors. If you do, just make sure the collar is back on before heading out. For puppies, introduce collars early using treats and proper fit.
Choosing the right moment to welcome a puppy depends on your season, schedule, and lifestyle. Spring brings unpredictable weather and muddy paws, summer offers long days and family time (but beware holiday absences), autumn provides cooler walks and sensory stimulation, and winter can disrupt training due to cold conditions. No matter the season, be prepared, bonded, and legally compliant with microchipping by eight weeks.
Unfortunately for our pets, dogs can get hay fever just like people can! Common signs include sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, runny nose, and especially irritated skin—often where they lick or scratch. Symptoms can appear in spring and summer. It’s crucial to consult a vet for diagnosis and appropriate treatments like medicated shampoos, eye drops, or antihistamines specifically for dogs.
