Only one month to go❗️ From 10 June 2024, cats in England will need to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they’re 20 weeks old.

🧑‍⚕️ Be sure to contact your vet to book in an appointment.

Microchipping will help reunite you with your cat if they ever become lost. Even indoor-only cats should be microchipped because they are also at risk of becoming lost.

Owners could face a fine of up to £500 if they do not microchip their cat by the required deadline.

Please please please watch out for misinformation posts for anything. This post has been provided by our main source of information regarding poisons in pets - the Veterinary Poisons Information Service and Animal PoisonLine - it's in the name

🌟Worried about your dog and rapeseed?🌟

At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

These posts are misinformation.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.

Remember to keep your pets from eating your Easter dinner, chocolate and plants in the garden, so everybody has a good time 😁

Comfortable consultations

My name is Liz Shepherd, I qualified as a vet in 1997, and have been in mixed practice ever since. Over the last 23 years, I have wondered how to improve pets’ (and owners’) experience of a trip to the vet. Cats and dogs don’t like waiting in waiting rooms, most cats never go anywhere nice in a car, and nearly all detest the experience of being put into a carrier for this trip. So, I decided to bring the consulting room to the patient by starting The Visit Vet.

I have a particular interest in preventive health care, especially of our older pets. Early diagnosis and treatment can make an enormous difference to an animal’s quality of life, and it's not just medicines that help. Small alterations in their diet or environment can reduce the likelihood of certain conditions developing, and seeing animals in their own home can give a more complete picture of what may be causing a problem.

My aim in starting The Visit Vet is to provide an excellent standard of care for pets in their own homes. If you require assistance to handle your pet, please let me know, as I have some appointments available every week together with a Registered Veterinary Nurse. Extended consultations are also available, if your pet has more complicated needs, or if we need to do some extra tests at the time. I also encourage owners to ask questions about their animal’s condition, so that you can really understand it and do the best for your pet after the consultation. As vets, we only start the healing process, the nursing and home care they receive is a large part of completing the recovery.

If your pet requires emergency care, surgery or hospitalisation, I will refer you to Coomara Veterinary Practice, where your pet will receive the care they need. I worked there for 13 years and know that they will give your pet the attention they need until they are ready for discharge from the clinic.
