Are you up to speed on your flea knowledge?!
Fleas are seen all year round now, which is why it is important to keep up with regular preventative treatment for your pets. This is a flea under the microscope that was found on a dog in our sister practice in St Neots. The most common flea is the ctenocephalides felis which is the cat flea that can be found on both cats and dogs. It is important to remember that immature flea stages found in the environment makes up 95% of the total flea population, meaning that only 5% of the flea population will be noticeable on your pet. Therefore, it is important to treat the environment they are in as well as treating the pet, for this to resolve the problem.
If you have any questions or would like some more advice please call us! 🐶🐱

Over the summer, our vets see a lot of dogs who have issues because of grass seeds. It is important to contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has an injury caused by a grass seed.
If walking your dog in long grass or woodland areas, we recommend checking your dog over and brushing away any grass seeds after the walk is done. Pay particular attention to paws, ears, eyes, and armpits.
To learn more about grass seeds, and our four simple steps for dealing with them, read our helpful advice article here: https://bit.ly/3zAdaOP

Do you have questions about neutering your cat? It's something we strongly advise as it has many benefits for them and helps to tackle the number of stray cats in the UK.
Female cats will benefit from reduced risk of unwanted pregnancy, certain health conditions and even certain types of cancer. For male cats, neutering reduces their urge to fight other males, lessening the chance of certain diseases, and it also means they are less likely to mark their territory around your home.

Pets can develop skin allergies at any age, so it's important to make sure you know the signs and symptoms. Dogs may start scratching excessively, whereas cats may start licking their belly, back, or behind their legs more than usual.
The most common skin allergy is called atopic dermatitis, and although it's a lifelong condition, it can be controlled and managed, meaning your pet can lead a normal and healthy life. Treatments may include medication, supplements, or even newer monoclonal antibody treatments.

Dogs can pick up kennel cough multiple times throughout their lives, but in most cases, they can recover in a few weeks.
During this time, you should encourage your dog to rest and avoid collar and lead activity as it could put more strain on their respiratory system. You should talk to your vet if your dog’s cough persists, or if you notice any changes in behaviour such as a reduced appetite or less energy.
Our article on kennel cough explains more about the infection, what to look out for, and how to treat it. Read more here: https://bit.ly/44CKnV0
