The heatwave may be breaking a little this weekend but hopefully summer is with us for a few weeks yet.
With summer comes the attraction of barbecues and al fresco dining – great fun for us humans – sometimes slightly disastrous for our dogs.
Intestinal foreign bodies often become more of an issue in the summer months when dogs are getting their hands on (or should I say mouths around) things that they should not.
The classic offender is corn on the cob; fresh from the barbecue nothing is more delicious to a dog than a butter-soaked piece of sweetcorn, but the cob itself presents huge problems.
