About Rescue A Pet

Many people believe you cannot give milk to dogs and cats. Whilst this is true of ordinary cows’ milk, top breeders have reared dogs on goats’ milk for decades. They recognise that goats’ milk is highly digestible and nutritious and have reaped benefits in feeding it to their litters. Dogs thrive on goats’ milk because it’s so digestible. The fat and protein molecules are much smaller and have thinner membranes than cows’ milk so pass through the body more easily. Easier digestion of the fat and protein means the lactose (milk sugar) can pass through the system more rapidly, preventing a build up which can cause adverse reactions with cows’ milk. Many humans who have an intolerance to cows’ milk, thrive on goats' milk for the same reason.

She was so underweight that she nearly died - had she been found just an hour later, she most certainly would have done.

Bath Cats & Dogs Home is launching its Winter Warmer Campaign to raise funds for lighting its heat lamps to help sustain its more vulnerable animals in warm kennels and pods through the coming cold winter months. The rescue centre, one of the largest rehoming centres in the UK, is calling on animal lovers to dig deep and help fund the heat lamps that keep its more vulnerable animals warm during the colder months, particularly the puppies, kittens, sick and older animals, whom need extra warmth to recuperate and survive, what is predicted to be another harsh winter.
