With the nights finally getting lighter, have you kept<br />

up with your fitness goals or is your motivation<br />

faltering?<br />

RSPCA Milton Keynes understand the fickleness of<br />

willpower (just ask us what a ‘foster fail’ is), so we<br />

have a purrrfect solution to make sure you stay on<br />

track!<br />

Sign up to an organised challenge such as the<br />

MK Marathon, Colour Obstacle Rush or Epic Cycle<br />

Sportive and set up a Just Giving page to fundraise<br />

for local animals in need. Once your friends, family<br />

& colleagues have donated their hard-earned cash<br />

supporting you in your goal, you will have no choice<br />

but to proceed with your training! You can also visit<br />

the animals in our care and their adorable faces will<br />

give you strength to carry on.<br />

RSPCA Milton Keynes friendly fundraising team will<br />

help support you, and may be able to put you in<br />

touch with other volunteers to train with.<br />

Be pawsome in <strong>2019</strong>! <br />

Love your Dog’s Heart<br />

Valentine's Day has been and gone, but you still...<br />

love your dog's heart.<br />

The Veterinary Centre is offering a screening programme.<br />

Certain breeds and ages of dogs are particularly at risk of<br />

developing heart disease – especially small breeds like<br />

Spaniels and large breeds over 25kg in weight. Recent<br />

research shows that by picking up heart problems in<br />

affected dogs before clinical symptoms develop (poor<br />

exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, cough, weight loss)<br />

the quality and the length of life for these pets will improve.<br />

Clinical trials have demonstrated a clear benefit with those<br />

being treated in the early stages. On average they will have<br />

15 months longer before clinical signs develop and also a<br />

longer lifespan overall.<br />

For further information or to book your dog in<br />
