Lewis's Story

🐾 Hi, I'm Lewis - Your Playful Pup Pal! Hi there! I'm Lewis, and I'm still very much like a puppy learning all about good manners and how to be the best boy I can be. I'm looking for a family who can spend plenty of time with me, help me learn, and enjoy all the fun that comes with having a young, happy pup around. I'm working really nicely on my sits and calm behaviour - especially when treats are involved. I'm super food‑motivated, so training with me is both easy and rewarding. I love toys, enrichment, puzzles, and anything that keeps my brain and body busy. I'm a playful little guy who thrives when I have lots to do. I'm still learning how to socialise with other dogs, but I can go home with a friendly female dog who can show me how to play politely and help me build confidence. I'd love that kind of guidance. Daily walks and exercise sound perfect for me. I do get a bit excited and pull on the lead sometimes, but with patience (and snacks), I'm improving every day. Because I can be a little reactive at times, I'll need secure, solid fencing to keep me safe while I explore and play in the yard. If you're looking for a sweet, eager‑to‑learn pup who will bring joy, silliness, and so much love into your home, I think we'd make a great team. I can't wait to meet my new family and start our adventures together.

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
