🐱Pawing at the Mouth: Indicates discomfort.
🦷Behaviour Changes: Irritability or lethargy.
🐱Visible Tartar or Discoloured Teeth: Yellow or brown buildup.

🔥 When using indoor fires or heaters, remember these pet safety tips:
- Supervise Open Flames: Pets are curious! Keep an eye on them around candles, fireplaces, or any open flames to prevent accidents.
- Secure Heating Sources: Make sure heaters and radiators are stable and out of reach to prevent burns or tipping over.
- Screen Fireplaces: Use a sturdy screen to block pets from getting too close to the fireplace. This protects them from sparks and hot surfaces.
- Check for Cozy Hideouts: Cats especially love warm spots, so check dryers, heaters, and other warm spots before using them.
- Maintain Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation when using heaters to avoid carbon monoxide buildup, which is harmful to pets and humans alike.

Dogs have remarkable abilities to sense various aspects of human behaviour and physiology. Here are three amazing things they can detect:
1. Emotional State: Dogs are highly attuned to human emotions and can often sense when their owners are feeling sad, anxious, or stressed.
2. Health Conditions: Dogs possess an incredible sense of smell, which allows them to detect subtle changes in human body chemistry. They can sniff out certain health conditions, including hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in people with diabetes, certain types of cancer, and even impending seizures.
3. Intentions and Trustworthiness: Dogs are adept at reading human body language and can often sense a person's intentions. They can pick up on cues such as posture, facial expressions, and vocal tone to gauge whether someone is friendly, trustworthy, or potentially threatening.
Overall, dogs' remarkable sensitivity to human emotions, health, and intentions underscores the unique bond between humans and their canine companions.

As your cat ages, their needs evolve. Here are our top tips for taking care of your cat during their senior years:
🥣 Food & Water: Ensure seniors eat and drink enough. Offer small, frequent meals and accessible water.
😸 Playtime: Keep them active with gentle play, improving muscle tone and circulation.
😴 Sleeping: Aging cats tend to sleep more. Provide cosy bedding in warm, draft-free spot and monitor any changes in sleeping patterns.
🩺 Regular Check-ups: Health exams, including dental checks, every six months catch issues early.
By recognising and addressing the specific needs of senior cats, you can ensure they enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling life in their later years.

Please remember that chocolate is toxic to pets, especially dogs, so be mindful of where the Easter bunny hides their treats!
If you don’t want your pet to miss out on the Easter fun, try a pet-friendly treasure hunt around your home or backyard with some of their favourite treats and toys. Be sure to supervise your pet during the search, and give lots of encouragement, praise and assistance when needed.
Our team hopes you are having a happy and safe Easter 🐇✨✨

Listen up! Your pet's ears deserve some TLC too. 🐶😺👂
Many pets are prone to ear infections, but they are seen more commonly in dogs. Signs of ear disease include scratching/ rubbings at their ears, a foul odour or discharge as well as swelling and redness.
Luckily, most ear infections are easily treatable but if left they can result in serious damage. It’s always best to have ear problems seen by us so we can properly diagnose the problem and effectively treat it. 🩺

With the summer grasses drying up, troublesome grass seeds are on the loose. Beware, as their needle-shaped tips can pe*****te your pet's skin, leading to painful abscesses.

Seek our assistance promptly to ensure your pet's well-being. 🌾🐾

A closer look can make all the difference.
Check for strange lumps and bumps, abnormal odours, non-healing wounds, changes in appetite and weight loss, difficulty breathing, lethargy & decreased energy, changes in bathroom habits, and evidence of pain as they can be warning signs of cancer in pets.
Detecting these signs can lead to timely intervention and better outcomes for our furry companions..🐾❤️
