Be Pawsome in 2019
With the nights finally getting lighter, have you kept
up with your fitness goals or is your motivation
faltering?
RSPCA Milton Keynes understand the fickleness of
willpower (just ask us what a ‘foster fail’ is), so we
have a purrrfect solution to make sure you stay on
track!
Sign up to an organised challenge such as the
MK Marathon, Colour Obstacle Rush or Epic Cycle
Sportive and set up a Just Giving page to fundraise
for local animals in need. Once your friends, family
& colleagues have donated their hard-earned cash
supporting you in your goal, you will have no choice
but to proceed with your training! You can also visit
the animals in our care and their adorable faces will
give you strength to carry on.
RSPCA Milton Keynes friendly fundraising team will
help support you, and may be able to put you in
touch with other volunteers to train with.
Be pawsome in 2019!

Love your Dog’s Heart
Valentine's Day has been and gone, but you still...
love your dog's heart.
The Veterinary Centre is offering a screening programme.
Certain breeds and ages of dogs are particularly at risk of
developing heart disease – especially small breeds like
Spaniels and large breeds over 25kg in weight. Recent
research shows that by picking up heart problems in
affected dogs before clinical symptoms develop (poor
exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, cough, weight loss)
the quality and the length of life for these pets will improve.
Clinical trials have demonstrated a clear benefit with those
being treated in the early stages. On average they will have
15 months longer before clinical signs develop and also a
longer lifespan overall.
