Sadly they, nor his original owners, could afford the essential surgery he needs during the pandemic. He'll continue to be nurtured by one of our dedicated foster carers, until he’s ready for our vets to perform his life-changing operation later this year.

Many of us also claim that only the perfect mattress (squidge factor is key) can deliver on a truly refreshing sleep. But what about puppies? How do they sleep? Sleep behaviours in dogs up to 12 months old have rarely been studied, up until now.
