Lets talk Fleas!
Fleas are much easier to prevent than eliminate. The most effective method of flea control is to start before you see fleas. Fleas are not just a summer problem, heating used in winter provides a wonderful environment for flea development too.

Why do they keep coming back?
Fleas breed at an enormous rate. The fleas you see on your dog represent only 5-10% of the fleas in the environment. The rest of the population is represented in the egg and larval stages found in your carpets, furniture, bedding and garden.

To stop repeat infestations, you need to break the flea life cycle once and for all. Adopt control strategies including,
Keeping your pets flea treatments up to date,
Vacuuming the carpet 2-3 times a week to remove eggs and stimulate dormant fleas
Wash pet blankets weekly (in the washing machine) & leave in the sun to dry
Spray the house, kennels and yards with an adult flea killer (professional treatment recommended), flea bomb the house to prevent larvae developing.

GRASS SEEDS - with the drier grass around at the moment, don't forget to check your pets over for these nasty little things!!

29/12/2022

Ollie the cat was presented to the vet when his owner noticed him refusing to eat his dry food.
He was admitted for an anaesthetic to have some teeth removed & his teeth scaled and polished.

Common signs of dental disease are:
Discoloured teeth (brown or yellow)
Red & inflamed gums
Loose or missing teeth
Bad breath
Irritability
Weight loss
Drooling
Change in appetite

Proper dental care for pets is critical to your pet's overall health and well-being.
Dental disease, if left untreated or undetected, can cause tooth abscesses and bacteria which can result in heart, liver, and kidney health problems.

Prevention for dental disease:
Daily brushing with pet friendly toothpaste
Feeding specially formulated biscuits or chews, designed to break down plaque on the teeth.
Regular vet check ups
