Winter is here, but so too are those pesky fleas! 🐱

Whilst flea eggs will remain dormant outdoors during cold weather, they can still hatch in the toasty indoor conditions of our homes. Adult flea bites will cause itchy skin lesions in your pet, which may require veterinary treatment to settle. Additionally, infestations of fleas can be difficult to eradicate from your house. 🔍

It’s therefore best to continue your pet’s flea prevention year-round. Ask our helpful team for personalised recommendations on safe and effective parasite control options for your pet.

While our canine companions have furry coats, it’s important to remember that many breeds will still feel the cold during winter. 🐶

Unless your pet is an Arctic breed or similarly thick-coated, they will require a padded jacket at night or when outdoors during cold weather.

Every outdoor dog should also have access to a dry sleeping spot that is protected against draughts, with some warm, soft bedding that they can snuggle down into. 🛏️

Did you know that colder weather can affect your dog’s tail? 🐾

“Limber tail” (a.k.a. acute caudal myopathy) is a condition where dogs develop sudden pain around the base of their tail, leading to several days of discomfort and abnormal tail positioning.

This issue most commonly occurs in active large breed dogs, particularly those who have been swimming or playing vigorously outdoors in cold weather within the previous 24 hours.

Should you notice any discomfort in your pet during chilly weather, we’d advise hot-footing it to our clinic for a prompt veterinary assessment! ❄️

UPDATE: This kitten has now found its forever home.

URGENT REHOMING,

If you would like to be his forever home/family please contact the clinic (08 8725 5855) during business hours (8:30am - 5:30am Monday - Friday and 8:30am - 11:30am Saturday morning)

Did you know dogs can develop cognitive decline similar to dementia in humans? 🧠 Signs include disorientation, changed sleep patterns, forgetting training, or altered interactions with family.

Supporting brain health involves mental stimulation, medication and consistent routines. Special diets containing antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids can also benefit brain function.

If you notice cognitive changes in your senior dog, talk to us about management options. 🐶

As dogs age, their nutritional needs change. 🍽️

Senior dogs typically need fewer calories but higher quality protein to maintain muscle mass. They may benefit from added joint supplements like glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids. 🐾 Dogs with specific health conditions like kidney disease, heart disease or diabetes often require specific diets.

Not sure what to feed your senior dog? Our team can provide tailored dietary recommendations based on their specific health needs. 🥩

Finding unexpected puddles from your previously house-trained senior dog? 🚽 This isn't naughtiness - it could signal health issues like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or cognitive decline.

Some medications can also increase urination or decrease bladder control. Physical issues like arthritis might make it difficult for them to get outside in time.

If your older dog starts having accidents, book a check-up so we can identify and address the underlying cause.

Just like humans, pets benefit from staying active as they age! Gentle, regular exercise helps maintain muscle mass, joint mobility and mental wellbeing. 🐕

For older dogs, shorter but more frequent walks are ideal. For cats, interactive toys encourage movement without overexertion. Swimming is excellent for arthritic pets as it's low-impact on joints. Always tailor exercise to your pet's ability and stop if they show signs of discomfort or fatigue.

🎾 What’s your pet’s favourite way to stay active? Let us know in the comments!

Finding a lump on your senior cat can be worrying. 🐱 Common lumps include lipomas (fatty tumours), sebaceous cysts, and unfortunately, cancer.

While many are benign, some require prompt treatment. Never assume a lump is harmless based on appearance alone! 🔍 Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of cancerous lumps.

If you notice any new lumps, bumps or swellings on your cat, book an appointment now with our vets to get it checked out. 📞
