ADDERS AND DOGS REIGATE HEATH

I have recently been told that there is a raised danger of dogs encountering adders on Reigate Heath in Surrey.

Please, please make other dog owners aware of this danger and please see my previous blog article about precautions and First Aid emergency in the event that your dog is bitten by an adder:

I was also informed last week that two dogs were bitten recently by adders on Ashdown Forest in East Sussex; sadly one of the dogs did not survive.

Please keep your dog safe by being adder-aware and by talking to your vets and carrying the necessary medication – see my other blog page article on dogs and snake bites for further information.
