People dressed in costumes and unexpected knocks at the door can be confusing and scary for many dogs.
Here are our Halloween top tips:
🎃 Be careful when opening the door so your dog doesn’t accidentally
escape
👻 If your dog is really worried, consider a sign saying ‘nervous dog, please do not knock’. You could still leave treats out for children to help themselves
🍬 Keep human sweets and chocolate safely out of your dog’s reach
🧛 Keep dressing up for humans only. Costumes can feel restrictive and prevent your pet from communicating their discomfort

Vaccines do more than just protect — they supercharge your pet’s immune system, shielding them from potentially life-threatening infectious diseases. Plus, every vaccination appointment includes a thorough health check from nose to tail, giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy, healthy, and thriving.

If it’s been over a year since their last jab, good news — it’s not too late. You can still book their booster without having to restart the course. But if they’re more than 3 months overdue, they’ll need to begin a full vaccination course again. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Join Our Vaccine Catch-Up Campaign!

Give your furry friend the care they need! Non Healthy Pet Club members pay for the first overdue vaccination, and we’ll cover the second, ensuring their safety at an affordable price.

Let’s keep your furry friend safe, healthy, and ready for all of life’s adventures. Book today! Call us on 01962 854088/ 01256 771998 and our reception team will advise you of the next available appointment and answer any questions you may have.

We had an unexpected visit earlier today from the police who had rescued a young swan from the M3. The bird probably landed on the motorway thinking it was water. After closing the M3 they were able to safely secure ‘Craig’ and brought the bird for a full check over with vet Nikki. Happy to say, Craig was assessed and deemed fit as a fiddle and the police released it shortly after the visit. Thank you to the Hampshire Constabulary for taking such great care of the bird and ensuring it was released safely.

🍂 Autumn Parasite Alert! 🍂

As the seasons change, so do the risks to your pet’s health. Cooler, wetter weather can bring out parasites like harvest mites, fleas, ticks, and even lungworm in dogs.

🔸 Harvest mites – tiny orange pests that cause itching and irritation, especially around paws and ears.
🔸 Fleas – love warm homes and can wake from dormancy when the heating goes on.
🔸 Ticks – found in grassy areas, they latch onto pets and feed on blood.
🔸 Lungworm – spread by slugs and snails, this serious parasite can be fatal if untreated.

✅ Regular flea, tick & worming treatments are your best defence.
💬 If you're unsure about your pet’s protection plan, speak to your vet.

Why are rechecks so important?

This is particularly important when antibiotics are being used. We should always give antibiotics for the shortest length of time required to achieve a cure, however if a longer course is required this should be continuous for them to be effective and create the least antimicrobial resistance. Finishing a short course of antibiotics, seeing that symptoms recur, then restarting treatment is much less
effective. This will usually require a longer total course of treatment (as bacteria will have multiplied again while treatment was not being given) and prove more expensive.

Sometimes a condition has improved but not resolved at the time of a recheck. Your vet will know what degree of improvement is expected in a particular timeframe and be able to decide whether
your pet simply needs more time, or whether treatment plans need changing. If required, medication doses may be changed or additional medications can be prescribed. The earlier it is identified that a first line treatment is insufficient for an individual case, the sooner we can intervene to achieve a cure in a timely and economic fashion.

Every year, thousands of dogs in rescue centres wait patiently for their forever home. Whether it’s a young puppy or a wise old soul, rescue dogs have lots of love to give. By adopting, you can give a dog the loving home they truly deserve.

We know that for some families, buying from a responsible breeder may be the right choice - and that’s ok too. But if you’re in a position to adopt, it’s a wonderful way to make a real difference.

What matters most is making thoughtful, informed decisions that puts the dog’s welfare first.

Thinking about adding a dog to your family? Read our guide on adopting vs. buying:

On Sunday 26th October, the clocks go back one hour as British Summer Time ends. While this gives us an extra hour in bed, it can disrupt our pets’ routines, especially feeding and walking schedules.

Animals thrive on consistency, so sudden changes can cause confusion or anxiety. To help ease the transition, consider gradually adjusting your pet’s routine over a few days leading up to the change. A little preparation can make a big difference in keeping your furry friends happy and settled.

Have you noticed your pet reacting to the time change before? Share your stories or tips below - we’d love to hear them! 🐶🐱🕒
