Why you should let your dog sniff as many lamp posts as they wantWhile such behaviour may be frustrating, experts say you shouldn't yank your curious pet awayDogs should be allowed to sniff as many lamp posts as they want when out on a walk and not be yanked onwards by bored owners, a canine expert has said.Walks are often perceived by owners as being solely for exercise and to keep a dog physically fit but veterinarians say they also play a vital role in mental stimulation.Some dogs, especially as they get older, walk with less vigour and for shorter periods of time, preferring to plod slowly and investigate the scents around them.This should be embraced by owners, even if it is frustrating, counter-intuitive and boring for the walker, veterinarians believe.

Covid app for England and Wales discontinued as usage dwindlesExclusive: Wind-down of NHS contact-tracing app part of drive to ‘learn to live’ with coronavirusThe Covid contact-tracing app for England and Wales, which was downloaded 31m times during the course of the pandemic, is being wound down later this week.Coming about three years since the first nationwide lockdown, the move is part of a drive to encourage people to “learn to live” with the virus. Users of the app will receive a notification on Tuesday telling them it is being discontinued. They will no longer receive alerts informing them when they have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19.Dwindling usage meant the app was in danger of becoming defunct, as Covid measures – such as free tests – were removed and vaccination take-up grew. However, the NHS app will continue to allow people to request a certificate proving their Covid vaccination status as part of any requirements for international travel.
