Good morning from Mufffin! This gorgeous Golden Retriever pup has 3 young boys under 11 that are his best friends. Apart from the boys his favourite other thing is chasing and retrieving the ball. Muffin was so chilled at his visit. Just a little bit in love ❤️

🌟 Patient Spotlight: Scooby! 🌟

We’re so proud of our lovely patient Scooby, who has been coming to Shelley’s Confidence Clinic every month. When Scooby first attended, he was a little shy and easily overwhelmed — but with lots of patience, practice, and support, he’s making incredible progress. 💙

With his family’s help, Scooby has been practising a chin rest to build confidence with gentle handling and examination. Today, he absolutely shone — calmly having his nails clipped with no stress, enjoying the session, and even finishing off with a few fun games in the consultation room! 🐾🎉

Watching Scooby grow in confidence and take things in his stride has been such a joy. We’re so proud of his achievements so far — well done, Scooby! 👏💖

How often should I shampoo my dog?

As the weather has been wet and muddy again this week our vets are often asked advise about shampoo use.

What to use? How much is too much?

There is so much contradicting information about different products and frequency of application. It very much depends on the individual pet.

Regular grooming and shampooing in dogs can be an important part of maintaining a healthy coat or as part of ongoing management for animals with underlying allergies or other skin conditions. Most dogs with healthy skin will benefit from bathing weekly or every other week, or when they roll in fox faeces. When selecting shampoo for dogs, it is crucial to consider that dogs have a more alkaline pH than human skin, so human or baby shampoos are unsuitable. Selecting a product that is pH balanced, is free from harsh scents, surfactants and essential oils is important. Different coat types and different skin conditions may require different shampoos. There are also leave on wipes and foams that can be used in between bathes. Do talk to our veterinary team for advice about specific products.

Shampoo your dog in a warm quiet environment with lukewarm water to wet the whole of the skin surface, including the neck, legs and stomach. Apply a good amount of shampoo to the body. This is especially important with medicated prescription shampoos (such as those including chlorhexidine) as applying too little of the product will mean that the concentration will not reach adequate levels to reduce bacterial or yeast numbers. Leave the shampoo on the dog for 5-10 minutes (depending on the label instructions). Then thoroughly rinse of the shampoo with lukewarm water and gently towel dry, dogs with longer coats may need brushing/combing as well.

Do not bathe or swim your dog for several days after applying flea spot on products as this can remove the product before it has been absorbed, and excess product washed off can impact the environment.

Changes in your pet's coat such as smelly skin, skin flakes, hair loss, or itchy or red areas can indicate an underlying issue and should be discussed with your vet. Please call us to make an appointment if you want to discuss any dermatology concerns or if you want advice on the best products for your pet.

Behaviour Support Clinics at Mildmay Veterinary Hospital

We are introducing our new behavioural support service in practice with Shelley Tomkins RVN APDT ABT ATI. Shelley is a registered veterinary nurse and accredited training instructor with The Animal Behaviour and Training Council. She has considerable experience in both veterinary care and behaviour, ensuring that she understands the crucial links between medical conditions and behaviours you may be seeing at home or find challenging.

Our clinics are designed to help a wide range of dogs and cat issues, including:

- Puppies and adolescent dogs - for early training, socialisation and building confidence to adolescence where hormones can contribute additional challenges.
- Rescue dogs - helping them adjust to their new home and overcome past experiences.
- Nervous or fearful dogs - guiding them through gentle techniques to improve confidence.
- Dogs that struggle to settle - teaching calmness and relaxation strategies.
- Dogs who feel overwhelmed in busy environments – learn how to prevent jumping up, lead pulling or over excitement.
- Dogs with separation anxiety related behaviours - providing strategies for a more independent pet.
- Senior dogs - managing behavioural changes associated with ageing or medical conditions.
- Dogs with training difficulties - refining skills in a way that suits their individual needs.
- Multi cat household management advice - creating harmonious living, recognising stress signals and how to deal with them.
- Cats with inappropriate urination habits or furniture scratching - understanding the reasons and how to tackle them.

Your initial consultation will last 45 minutes where Shelley will explore concerns, gather a full history and set a clear achievable plan. If Shelley is unable to support your dog or cat on the behaviour presented she will be able to provide a referral to an appropriate behaviourist.

For further information or to book a Behaviour Support Clinic appointment please call reception on 01962 854088.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is observed annually on August 28th. It's a heartfelt day dedicated to honouring and remembering beloved pets who have passed away.

For the pet owners among us, it offers a special moment to reflect on the unconditional love, joy and companionship our furry friends brought into our lives.

While the day may stir feelings of sadness, its true purpose is to celebrate the lives of these cherished animals: reminiscing the happy memories, silly habits and unique bonds that made them a part of the family.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day encourages us to keep their spirit alive in our hearts forever.

Preventing ticks is always better than treating a tick-related illness.

Thankfully, there are lots of effective tick prevention options available,
including spot-on treatments, sprays, and long-lasting collars. These can be used alongside or sometimes instead of your pet’s usual parasite control, depending on the product.

Some treatments repel ticks, while others kill them after they attach.
Either way, reducing the time ticks spend on your pet lowers the risk of disease. Even with protection, it’s still a good idea to check your pet for ticks after walks, especially in areas where ticks are more common. If you find one, it’s best to remove it promptly.

Not sure which product is right for your pet? Our vets and nurses are always happy to help you choose the most suitable option.

Tick prevention is fully covered as part of The Healthy Pet Club membership.
