Is your cat a “senior kit-izen?” 🐱

From 10-12 years old, cats may begin to develop age-related brain decline; commonly referred to as “dementia”.

Symptoms of dementia in cats include:
✅ Changes in sleeping patterns (e.g. waking up at odd hours)
✅ Increased vocalisation
✅ Changes in toileting behaviours
✅ Decreased self-grooming

Of course, there are other common health issues that can cause the same symptoms in older cats, such as kidney disease, arthritis or an overactive thyroid.

If you’ve noticed any changes in your older pet’s behaviour or routines, we’d recommend consulting our senior-savvy vets.

Unfortunately, some cats just don’t take well to boarding! 😿

For more sensitive cats, an environmental change can lead to significant stress, particularly when it’s to an area filled with the sounds, sights and smells of other cats!

This stress can cause them to stop eating, drinking and/or toileting properly for several days, which can result in dehydration, urinary tract problems or constipation. It can also affect their immunity, leading to a recurrence of flu symptoms in pets prone to chronic cat flu.

If your cat is a more sensitive soul, have a chat with our vets about anti-anxiety aids and options for lower-stress holiday care.

Even though you may not realise it, you’ve likely administered NSAIDs your pet before! 💊

NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are medications that help to relieve pain, inflammation and fever. Common examples in pets include carprofen and meloxicam. These drugs may be prescribed for short periods (e.g. for pain relief after desexing) or may be used longer-term (e.g. for arthritis management).

While NSAIDs can be very useful, just like any drug they can have associated side effects. To reduce the risk of significant side effects in your pet, ensure you only administer them as per the prescribed label instructions.

🐶 For more information on safe pain relief in pets, consult our analgesia-aware team.

Does your dog suffer from travel sickness? 🚗 Don’t worry, there’s lots we can offer to prevent those mournful car dribbles and vomits!

Depending on your pet’s general health and how often they’ll be going in the car, we can prescribe one of several possible anti-nausea medications, such as maropitant or metoclopramide.

We can also provide advice on training your dog to feel comfortable in the car again, as they’ve likely developed some negative associations (car = vomit!)

For more advice on managing symptoms of tummy upset in pets, consult our knowledgeable vets.

Did you know that many “All-in-one” dog and cat parasite control products don’t fully protect against all the parasites your pet could be exposed to? 🪱

While they usually provide effective skin parasite and heartworm prevention, many of these monthly products don’t actually treat all the common types of intestinal worm (roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and flea tapeworm.)

Additionally, depending on your pet’s lifestyle, they may require additional protection against other tougher species of tapeworm, such as zipper worm and hydatids.

For personalised advice on the right “creepy-crawlies” treatment for your pet, consult our parasite-proficient vets! 💡

Have you got a pet-sitter, friend or family member booked to take care of your dog or cat these holidays? 🐾

Don’t forget to give them a thorough information handover about your pet, including details such as:
✅ Any dietary restrictions
✅ Any known long-term health issues (e.g. arthritis, predisposition to ear problems etc)
✅ When they last received flea/tick/worming prevention, and when they’re next due
✅ Our details (in case of any illness or injuries), and a plan for emergency treatment and payments
✅ If your pet has any behavioural quirks, e.g. storm phobia 🌩️

With the right information, your pet and their carer will be set up for a win, and you’ll be set for a more relaxing holiday!

Kidney disease is common in older pets but often goes unnoticed until advanced stages. By the time symptoms appear, such as increased drinking and urinating, weight loss and lethargy, significant kidney damage has already occurred 🐾.

Regular blood tests can detect kidney problems early when treatment is most effective. Early intervention can slow progression and maintain quality of life for years longer ❤️.

Annual health checks are your pet's best defence against illness 🐕🐈. During these visits, we examine your pet thoroughly, discuss any concerns, and often detect problems before symptoms are noticed.

Early intervention means better outcomes and lower costs. We can also administer other preventative treatments such as vaccinations, dental checks and parasite prevention during these visits 💉.

📞 Book your pet’s annual check-up with our team today.

Pre-anaesthetic blood tests help ensure your dog's safety during procedures. These tests check organ function, blood clotting, and detect hidden conditions that could complicate anaesthesia 💉.

While healthy young dogs may not always require them, older pets or those with health concerns definitely benefit from pre-GA tests. We'll recommend pre-GA bloods based on your dog's age, health status, and procedure complexity 🐾.

While gut health affects overall wellbeing, probiotics alone rarely solve skin problems in dogs. Skin issues often stem from allergies, parasites, infections, or underlying conditions requiring specific treatment 🐶.

Though probiotics may support general health, they shouldn't replace proper veterinary diagnosis and treatment. If your dog has persistent skin problems, let us identify the root cause first 🩺.

👉 Book a consult so we can help your dog feel comfortable again.

Like humans, cats have different nutritional needs throughout their life stages 🐾.

✔️ Kittens require high-energy, high-protein growth formulas.
✔️ Adult cats need balanced maintenance diets.
✔️ Senior cats often benefit from easily digestible foods.

Some cats may need prescription diets for kidney disease, diabetes, or weight management. Regular vet visits can help ensure your cat's diet matches their life stage 🐱.

📞 Call us to discuss the right diet for your cat.
