How to plan the perfect wedding on the Côte d'Azur Organise a wedding South of France. Many people dream of having a beautiful Provençal or Côte d'Azur event with a lavender field backdrop or views over the Mediterranean sea. That dream can become a reality with the right experts on hand to help you.  Today we chat with guests who have worked in event organisation planning weddings, organising huge events, setting up the lights and music, designing the look and feel and flower arrangements as well as the all important photographs and gifts. Thanks so much to our guests Danni Wing (Native Spaces) , Nick Boot (Wild Fire DJs) , Abbi Kemp , Lisa Boot (Une Pincée de Provence)  and Claire Lyons (Dandelions and Grace) for their input.   WE TALK WITH: Danielle Wing Native Spaces Hello, I'm Danni. I have been living on the French Riviera for the last ten years and have been working as a freelance event professional for the last eight. I have organised everything from weddings to corporate events to birthday parties, photoshoots and all in between. Recently I have started working with a fantastic start up based in Nice called Native Spaces. Native Spaces is a platform that connects clients with a whole of host of unique and extraordinary event spaces across the Riviera and beyond. Via the platform you can choose your venue, converse with the host directly, receive a quote and pay securely. Website Instagram - Native Spaces Instagram - Danielle Wing Nick Boot Wild Fire DJs I moved to the South of France with my wife and then baby boy 6 years ago as we wanted a new adventure as well as a lot more sunshine than we were getting in London! I set up Wildfire DJs (or UK DJs Abroad as it was then) at the same time. The aim was to provide a premium DJ, sound and lighting service to couples coming from abroad, predominantly the UK, to marry here in France. People pay an awful lot for their wedding, especially in this region, and I think it's a crime for the day to end with a party that doesn't absolutely blow the roof off. We ensure that the wedding day of each of our clients is remembered as the best party that they and their guests have attended. We provide the speakers and lighting plus organise all the music from the ceremony to the last song of the night. We make the process not only simple but fun and enjoyable too. Website Instagram Facebook Linkedin Abbi Kemp - Visuals by Abbi My name is Abbi and I'm an English speaking lifestyle photographer based in the South of France. Photography has been my passion for 15 years and I've been lucky enough to capture weddings all over the world for 9 years now. My work aims to capture the real and genuine moments of a wedding day through honest yet beautiful photography. Website Instagram Facebook Claire Lyons - Dandelions & Grace I moved to the French Riviera over 18 years ago after finishing a degree in International Business and French! Floristry has always been a passion of mine from a young age and when the opportunity arose to train professionally I jumped at the chance. My floral business - Dandelions & Grace was founded and I create bespoke floral arrangements for weddings, events and yachts from the cote d'azure to Provence. My floristry style is both organic and romantic, growing up in the English countryside has no doubt influenced this! Website  Facebook Instagram Lisa Boot - Une Pincée de Provence Une Pincée de Provence creates beautiful gifts from the South of France. For weddings and events we offer a complete range of gift ideas for guests and VIPs; 1. Handmade rustic Provençal wedding favours and gift packs for that truly authentic Provençal experience. Our carefully selected Provençal specialities are each created by enthusiastic, committed artisans, using only the finest traditional method. Our handmade miniatures can be fully personalised with the couples name and wedding date. 2. We also create perfect welcome or thank you gifts from our selection of premium local brand partners. We are proud to partner with some of the finest brands from the South of France to create unique, special gifts for loved ones. We moved to the French Riviera primarily to live in the sunshine and get out of the London rat race. We were looking for a different pace of life which involved more time spent outdoors and not having to answer to bosses! I have always been a total francophile, I love the French language and especially the culture of long lunches in the sunshine...and of course the rosé wine which is the best in the world!

Personal growth through books, managing the inner critic,  limiting beliefs and mindset  are all on the podcast this week with our guest Theresa Destrebecq. We are still in the pandemic and in France we have just gone into another lockdown. For many 2020 was a hard year health and diet wise as gyms shut, restaurants closed and socialising was seriously curbed. Series 6: Get our French Economy boosted #staylocal #buylocal #supportlocal #cotedazurfrance. Welcome to the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school . WE TALK WITH THERESA DESTREBECQ I like to ask my guests about their purpose, here's what our next guest said: Do you know how sometimes people read books to make a change or become better at something, like leadership, or meditation, or productivity? But then when you ask them 6 months later how things are going, and nothing has changed? Now if that resonates with you listen in. Theresa Destrebecq is a Coach, Educator, an advocator of self acceptance and more recently the founder of Emerge Book Circles. Now if you are into books be them real or audio, maybe you have, like me, many on the go, a pile of books but then can't remember once you've moved on ? Well I definitely can tick that box .. I used to be in a fun fiction in person group .. after many years I left and did actually try and start my own business book group but I don't think we got past 2, I was stretching myself too thin to set it up, so my interest was piques when I saw Theresa's post proposing an alternative way of doing it. I was craving a bit of deep dive and direction and connection and much as I love my own Business Coach, because they are based in the US time zones I am never at my best as its late at night .. so this group was ticking the boxes. Theresa and I had already met a couple of times in KidooLand , at a PWN conference where she was a speaker and so I decided to give the book circle a go. For a while now I've been joining her group for  great thought provoking conversation and activities .. which have also as a by product given me a  constant both personally and professionally through this pandemic. Kind of linked to self growth and personal improvement but also practical things that I can actually do with my own family. We chat about the need to create more permission for imperfection, limiting beliefs and mindset and of course around how her book circles work and why they are so powerful both professionally but also personally. So listen in to find out about the novel way of reading a book if you excuse the pun! Lets roll!

Making a difference | Pilates | Travelling the world feat. Mel Burch We are still in the pandemic and in France we have just gone into another lockdown. For many 2020 was a hard year health and diet wise as gyms shut, restaurants closed and socialising was seriously curbed. Series 6: Get our French Economy boosted #staylocal #buylocal #supportlocal #cotedazurfrance. Welcome to the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school . WE TALK WITH MEL BURCH  Up next we have Mel Burch .. from Live Breathe Pilates and Health Back in April our chat with friend Lucy Kelly one of our local nutritionists popped up on the podcast socials and Mel spotted it and having had a listen messaged  I am currently training to be a health coach so will be looking for nutrition therapists such as you to team up with when I get qualified (at the end of the year hopefully)! So she deepened a connection from Lucy’s podcast. She added that our chat about kefir water resonated and I am a huge fan too - with ginger and lemon like Susie! and the body brushing too! Thanks for putting this out, and I look forward to the next one  Having listened to that and also having discovered podcasts during the pandemic she then reached out and said she had a story to share. So I was delighted firstly that she had listened and taken the time to write in but also that she wanted to share her rather magnificent adventure and journey to Pilates with us all. We always try and get a good read of watch recommendation and Mel has a podcast and book for us (you’ll hear I wasn’t able to recall at all the documentary I just watched, lucky for me I get to add it here: Kiss The Ground, it’s a must watch if health nutrition organic ring any of your bells). The Firefly podcasts are all about you getting to know the people behind the local businesses; it’s all part of our support local series as we get ready to hopefully open up again. I would like you to join us in a pledge to commit to a 1 in 5 local pledge. So for every purchase or support you give to the large corporations you make 1 in 5 of them local. Now I know some wallets are stretched so if you can’t buy right now then get on their socials just like Mel did and give them a huge shout out and help get their word out there so that they can be in front of people who can help them financially through the next period. As Mel said you only have to adjust the compass a few degrees to make a big difference. Each and every one of you counts. Let’s roll.

Welcome to the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school . WE TALK WITH LUCY GRAY  Top Book: The Alchemist Top Netflix: Kiss the Ground  Top business tip: Network your socks off! Your core purpose: To help others achieve a healthy body and mind for them to lead the happiest life possible. My business: I provide private and group yoga sessions across the cote d'azur and online. My private yoga classes are adapted to suit the needs of each individual.  My approach is more scientific rather than spiritual. I am constantly studying to improve my knowledge. My group classes will vary, depending on how the class is “labelled’. In my power core class, expect a workout, and in my gentle yoga, you can expect to feel relaxed, fluid and rejuvenate! I believe a good variety of physical activity is key to optimal health. But most of all, conscious breathing is paramount!

Atomic eating habits | Breakfast plan | Food variety feat. Lucy Kelly Atomic Eating habits - how to make a few little changes to your nutrition and lifestyle that will transform your health. Series 6: Get our French Economy boosted #staylocal #buylocal #supportlocal #cotedazurfrance. Welcome to the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school . WE TALK WITH LUCY KELLY  It’s early April here in the South of France and the sun is shining although rather remarkably it actually snowed here yesterday and lots of us potager vegetable patch gardeners were then all worried about our fledgling plants. We are back in a lockdown her in France and so we are bringing forward some of our later planned pods to chat nutrition and boost immunity as the timing seems right for us to be looking at the little wins we can all be putting into place right now. So in a previous episode we had Susie and she actually put me in touch with Lucy Kelly . Today we are going to chat about how studies in BioChemistry led to the markets in the Fontville in Cannes and helping us locally but also now globally with nutrition. My big takeway from this was to break things down into manageable smaller atomic habits. So for me a breakfast plan will be on the menu as I think that is something that we can organise easily and get the whole family involved in. Wherever you are listening to this, I hope that you will let us know what atomic eating habits you will be doing and do come and join the challenge we are setting up in the Cote d’Azur Living group to get a variety of 30 into your weekly diet, it sounds a lot so listen in to how you can make that happen.

Nutrition | Hormone Harmony | Menopause | Peri feat. Christine Kjeldbjerg  We get right into it in this podcast with important discussions around hormones, midlife, the menopause and this huge impactful phase in a woman’s life (and let’s be honest it impacts the whole family actually!) but it needs much more exposure and everyday discussion . WE TALK WITH CHRISTINE KJELDBJERG  When life gives you lemons make lemonade said Elbert Hubbard in 1915, I bet he would be thrilled to hear we are still doing that even in a pandemic! I kind of feel that is one of my mantras, I do try to find the silver linings in life which I know can come across as too positive  but for me I guess it's just my way of trying to rationalise events. I find them easier to deal with if I can find a reason even in the darkest of times.  And boy have we had some dark times in the last 12 months. So at the time of recording this in April 21, President Macron shut down the country again. Now I was supposed to be getting ready for 2 weeks of holiday camps across our 3 centres, the team were all lined up, programmes were in place, places booked and then boom, the news dropped. Of course financially there is a huge impact and we could possibly have gone online but after 12 months of pivoting and responding to ever changing protocols it was time to shut up shop and give the time time to rest and recuperate. And so my silver lining is a gloriously long , even if it's imposed holiday. I have books; fictional reads that have been on my list for a while like American Dirt , dog walks , yoga and pilates, some home projects and just some general check in and catch ups to do.  It was while I was reading a book called Making Work Human I had an idea to have a LoveFest a week of thanks and gratitude and as part of that I asked Christine Kjeldbjerg a previous guest from the Firefly from back in 2017, to come and chat with my team about all things nutrition – as I think we all need a boost after the last 12 months We had a great moment with her over zoom where she gave us some great insight and implementable nuggets on how to tweak our own nutrition. It was a real treat. The timing then seemed right for us check back in here on the firefly and hear what she has been doing since we last spoke. At that point she already held a BSC in nutritional Therapy and was running a busy health and fitness coaching business, instructing  Pilates and Xtend Barre.  She was a busy mum with teens in the same school my son went to. Shortly after that episode she  went on to complete  a BSC in Personalised Nutrition and then like me some of the teens have been flying the nest. For many that would be the moment to down shift but for Christine, who I feel is a lifelong learner and who is so passionate about nutrition, this "spare time" has been used to deep dive further into nutrition and in particular Hormone Harmony which is what we are going to talk about but also she is hugely involved in the community, a big supporter of Mimosa organising many events to raise essential funds for the cancer charities locally and also sharing her wisdom in the Riviera Insider magazine regularly. We get right into it in this podcast with important discussions around hormones, midlife, the menopause and this huge impactful phase in a woman's life (and let's be honest it impacts the whole family actually!) but it needs much more exposure and everyday discussion . Peri and menopause needs to be as easy to talk about as things like football are, which we didn't go into this time but we did last time and you can find out why that is important to Christine on episode 24 all the way back in 2017.

Raising children with success. You ask we answer   5 minutes of specialist tips with  our guest Special Educator Rebecca Leacock. Welcome to the latest series on the Riviera Firefly podcast sponsored by KidooLand your childcare solution for safe summer fun, Playgroup Kindergarten and Forest school . In this series we chat with specialist educator Rebecca Leacock as she shares pearls of wisdom around challenges that parents meet everyday when raising their children from communicating to biting, anorexia to setting boundaries, toddler tantrums and bullying. In this backstory episode we interview Rebecca an Australian Specialist Educator with two adult daughters. She moved to Antibes with my husband 2 years ago because they have always loved the beauty, the history, the culture and the food of this region. "I have had 30 years experience working in clinical settings with families of young children with delays. Once we moved to France I could see there was a need for family support in English for expats who were often quite mobile and needed therapists who they could access My philosophy is to work with the whole family unit and to discover how the family lives at home, what are their strengths and interests and then how the child's issues impact on this family. For some families it is very important to be able to go out to a cafe with their child, others really want to focus on toilet training or sleeping through the night, or they might want to hear their child say 'Mummy'.  Identifying the important goals for the family is the key to being useful to them. Any therapist can identify pencil grip, omitting hard consonants or coordination as an issue, but if it is not important to the family then it will not improve how that family lives together. Children learn best in environments where they are most comfortable and I strongly believe that the strategies need to be embedded into each child's daily life. Therefore, we focus on supporting the parents to adapt their usual home activities so they will support their child’s learning goals – which is often easier than it sounds."

Have you dreamed of writing a book ? Put off by how expensive publishing and printing a book can be ? The Firefly talks to local author James Vasey based in the Italian town Seborga just past Monte Carlo. We chat about his love for Italy and in particular Serboga and it's Templar Knights, how his passion for Italy, travel, food wine and cooking have come together to create his first fictional novel Cooking up a Country. Publishing a book has finally become within reach for all you budding novelists. Listen in to how to make your dream come true. This Episode James Vasey is a former regional magazine editor, entrepreneur and university lecturer, James is now an author who divides his time between homes in Northumberland and Liguria, Italy.  He was born in County Durham and obtained an MBA at Teesside University.  His inspiration for moving to Europe was Annie Hayes Extra Virgin We chat about Seborga and its history of the Templer Knights How it is A De facto micro nation with a Prince and a Princess , traditions and rituals just 1 hour from Monte Carlo’s Monaco.   About the book Cooking up a Country is a romance for everyone who owns an intalian cookbook. Synopsis: Two damaged people from very different backgrounds are drawn together by a shared passion for food and wine. Ben is a feckless but fundamentally decent English academic on the run from his own mistakes. Alessandra is a talented but bitter Italian chef escaping her ex-partner’s stupidity. It is definitely not love at first sight. Their two worlds collide in the ancient Principality of Seborga, whose claimed independence from Italy dates back to the Knights Templar. Perched high above the azure sea of the Italian Riviera it is a community in sight of, but also in stark contrast to, its wealthier neighbour, Monaco. The forces of globalisation threaten Alessandra's family Osteria and the community's artisan food producers. If he is to win the woman and earn the respect of his new neighbours Ben needs a plan to help them survive.    Writing the book  The process How to write a book by Harry Bingham (and video tutorials)  Publishing a book using Kindle direct publishing The Cover Linda McClusky Tips for setting about writing a book   BUY THE BOOK Genre: Contemporary romantic fiction ISBN-13:978-1722952907 Amazon link: Paperback £9.99 Kindle £0.99   ALSO MENTIONED Table Talk AA Gill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborga CONTACTING OUR GUEST Author: James Vasey jamesvaseyauthor@gmail.com   Facebook link: www.facebook.com/jamesvaseyauthor Contacts: jamesvaseyauthor@gmail.com mobile +447711 707611 OUR FACEBOOK INTEREST GROUPS Cote d’Azur Living  https://www.facebook.com/groups/cotedazurliving Business Support Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/fireflycocoon/ Culture Club Riviera https://www.facebook.com/groups/cultureclubriviera Teen Riviera https://www.facebook.com/groups/teenriviera/ Home and Garden Alpes Maritimes https://www.facebook.com/groups/HomeGardenAlpesMaritimes/ Silver Surfers & Retirees https://www.facebook.com/groups/silversurfersriviera/ OUR SPONSOR IS KIDOOLAND.

Amanda joins the Riviera Firefly Podcast here in the South of France to talk to us about her business journey. She initially started her career in dance even treading the boards with Cilla Black in a performance of Aladdin. After traveling the world on cruise ships she decided a change was needed. St Paul de Vence is a stunning perched village in the South of France and was once home to some of the world renown artists like Picasso Matisse and more. It is worth a visit because around every corner is some great art – but it can get a little busy. Amanda decided to follow her passion and retrain as a Pilates instructor. She did all her training in French which was no mean feat. Setting up a business these days can be a challenge especially if you are not a marketing whizz. Getting your message out there and having the right clients respond is tough! KidooLand has been hosting Amanda since September 2018 on Friday mornings where she teaches Pilates and Total Barre. Amanda likes the beach walks and is a real ocean girl with a passion for sailing. She can also be found up on the local ski slopes – we have many nearby Auron Isola 200 Greolieres and some more in Italy. The French Riviera has so much to offer. Great community, lots to see and do a very multicultural place to be. Amanda has been feeling the fear and doing it anyway with this podcast and videos. She is really pushing herself to achieve. Help her by sharing her episode!

Leigh Bodin joins to chat about her Fitness and Nutrition business. She shares her journey to the South of France and how she set about studying for her Level 2 nutrition coach. Dedicated to learning she spent one year studying with precision nutrition for the master coaching class, based on coaching psychology. Now she is a personal trainer and nutritionist to people in their 40s, and 50s here on the Cote d'Azur. She pivots and niched down her business in 2018 and is ready to embrace the challenges and the online world of health and sport in 2019. In this episode we talked about: Her journey to the South of France the steps Leigh took to niche her business Blue Ocean Strategy - Blue Ocean Red Ocean https://www.blueoceanstrategy.com  how she has built her business up and how her philosophies and approach differ from other trainers Why she set up Fit Nutrition, how she changed her own health and fitness by ditching the fat loss and aesthetics goals in favor of strength and mastery of kettlebell techniques Exercises for menopause and peri-menopause how it changes. How she created a community who are like minded to their health and fitness. Growth is her word for the year. CONTACT LEIGH Tel. 06.03.05.17.49 Like us on Facebook! www.fitnutritionfrance.com 2019: New online nutrition course partnered with Precision Nutrition (see more info about them here: www.precisionnutrition.com) Www.procoach.app/leighfitnutrition Her inspirational quote: Start wherever you are, Use whatever you have, Do whatever you can  -Arthur Ashe KEY CONTENT AND TIPS FROM LEIGH -For busy working Moms to add movement to their week: I think the more important question here is that when you are short on time, there are a few things that need to be addressed.  We want more movement and we need to consistently get that movement. I could give you a list of a 100 ways to move more, but unless you have a good system in place, you are probably are not likely to do them anyway.  So before we even get to the movement part think about this: I could say, Antonia, here is the best fitness plan in the world - if you follow this, you will reach your goals.  But if i’ve Given you something that you don’t enjoy doing, you won’t stick with it.  Whatever movement we are going to incorporate, it has be something that you will do consistently.  Consistency is the magic word.  So how to get a stage where we can be more consistent with our fitness and our movement? So for me , the first step is: Find out what you like to do What really ticks your box?  What do you really enjoy doing?  Walking, running, boxing, kettlebells, Pilates, yoga...etc.  What am I going to get really excited about doing every week?  And of course it that might change over time, too.  This can be really fun...this can mean going out and trying new and discovering new things.  You never know until you try.  I hear this with kettlebells all the time.  Get out there, get out of your comfort zone and try something new.   2. Decide why you want to do something - that way it becomes more meaningful.  Last week, on the FB group we looked at Why, What, How...overall, we are looking for consistency.  10 mins every day is more beneficial that a big exercise session once every two weeks.  We are looking for progress, a little more, a little better.  Why do you want more movement in your life?  What is your goal?  Narrow it down and get more specific.  It will help you stay motivated to get that extra movement it.  Are you trying to lose fat or gain strength or change your health markers?  I have a client whose goal is to be able to run around a football pitch with his son.  Every has their WHY.  And knowing that will help you keep moving towards your goal. Without a goal we are all kind of floating...and when you float, you are far less likely to stay consistent.   3. Work your 3’s:  Structure, Systems, and Scheduling:  You’ve probably heard this in business coaching and the same can be applied to health and fitness. Structure:  these are things and environments that surround us.  The things that we put into place to get things done.  So for movement, it might be choosing a gym or a class that is close to where we live, so its easy and convenient.   Systems: These are processes and practices we use to make things happen.  This can include an evening ritual of getting our gym bag ready the night before, or with nutrition, prepping our food for the next day.  It’s putting things in place so it makes it easier for us to do the things we’ve set out to do. Scheduling:  This is probably the most important one for busy people.  We don’t wait for inspiration to strike to go out and get that movement...we schdule it in like we do any other appointment and we keep that appointment.  You don’t wait to you feel like going to the dentist to make an appointment.  You book it. Fitness and movement - it’s self-care.  So we book that time in for ourselves because it is absolutely necessary.  We book our fitness and nutrition like any other appointment...and you keep it.  Keep that commitment to yourself.

  Robert Levitt is an American living in France. He has had a very unique approach to his career over the years. A former investment manager he actually would go and live in the country to truly understand how it worked , it’s requirements and the opportunities and in doing so got to live in some amazing places. His thirst for learning and knowledge has never dissipated and once he arrived in France he launched into learning the old language of Provençal and truly getting to know the local history by completing a degree in Patrimony  and then two masters degrees in Medieval History. This led to him setting up his very unique guided tours company Via Nissa as a way to discover the local area from another angle. His life story shows what huge value can be taken from experiencing on a deep level and how we need to live and enjoy the moment and write the novel to our lives.     Subject we chat about.

In the run up to our inaugural Christmas Fair, we’ll be introducing you to our various partners. Next up is is Hilly Mazija from Le Bon Bean. KidooLand will be holding an inaugural Christmas Fair on Sunday 2nd December from 10h30 to 15h30! KidooLand’s traditional English Christmas Fair, will be full of activities for children, plenty of stands selling lots of different Christmas gifts and a variety of Christmas decorations. We also hope to be able to draw on the best of French Christmas culture by offering vin chaud for Mums and Dads and crepes for hungry tummies of any age Let us know you are coming by SIGNING UP HERE – it helps us enormously for planning  Bon Bean Chocolate makes artisan chocolate from organic, direct-trade ‘heirloom’ cacao beans, known for their high quality and rich taste. Cacao is a superfood, naturally rich in anti-oxidants, magnesium, iron, vitamin C, essential fatty acids, zinc and copper (to touch upon a fraction of it’s nutritious bounty). Our chocolate contains no less than 70% cacao. Bon Bean Chocolate is 100% focused on delivering this abundance of goodness to our customers in great tasting chocolate. In order to get the best from the bean, we ensure that the farms we collaborate with grow their beans without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilisers. Our expert chocolatier then crafts the beans using as little heat treatment and harsh processing to produce the bioactive cacao that is our raw material and is the basis for our chocolate bars. We keep our list of ingredients short and simple but we need to add a little something sweet for flavour. In our opinion, the most healthful and natural sweetener for the body and teeth is coconut sugar with a lower glycemic index and some other nutritional benefits besides! Voilà: the end result is gourmet artisan chocolate that’s good for you too ! The Kidooland Christmas Fair is a chance for Bon Bean Chocolate to showcase its first batch of designer chocolate bars.

Dawn Howard -Dog behaviourist from Dogs D’azur is our guest host this week. You may remember Dawn from an earlier episode 12 http://www.rivierafirefly.com/12-dawn-howard-from-dogs-dazur-aka-the-fairy-dogmother/ also on 106.5fm Riviera Radio’s “Woofer of the Week” broadcast every Wednesday morning around 8.15am She shares her top tips for a happy dog. Here’s what you should be doing throughout the year to keep your dog in good shape. Keep in mind no one knows your dog like you do - so it’s important to keep an eye on them for signs of unusual behaviour and for any niggles go straight to your vet. DOG MOUTH You can buy a special toothbrush and toothpaste from your vet and it’s a great idea to start when they are puppies so they get used to it. Aim to do this once a week. Problem symptoms to look out for include: salivating or pawing at the mouth or signs of pain while chewing as well as bad breath. DOG EYES It’s a good idea to clean around your dog’s eyes regularly too – how often will depend on breed. But for matted or sticky eyes or a foreign body – a trip to the vet is essential. DOG EARS Regularly make sure nothing is lodged down there or that they are dirty. Again, this is one to start early, while they are young – and your vet will love you as it will desensitize them. Symptoms include: shaking the head, or scratching, or a head tilt.  How to move an injured dog. move the dog away from any immediate danger make a temporary stretcher from a flat board, car parcel shelf, a towel, blanket or coat Get a second person to help you get the dog on to the stretcher while supporting the dog, avoiding bending its spine. Take care to be as gentle as possible EMERGENCY NUMBERS Clinique Vétérinaire des Clausonnes open 24/7 900 route de la Valmasque, 06560 Valbonne Tél: 04 93 65 40 54   Urgent Vet Service number is 0800 948 484   REFUGES - RESCUE CENTRES http://refuge.duflos.pagesperso-orange.fr https://www.refugeduflos.fr/   They need: Donations Tinned dog food – preferably Cesar “senior” + pedigree the one with the sauce Medium-sized leads and collars Washing up liquid, bin bags and sponges   These guys operate a great scheme whereby you can take them all your small change – get collecting today!
