Let's talk pet names... they've all got a story! 📖

This handsome fella is Venom, with an owner who's a fan of superhero baddies, and a jet black coat, it's easy to see why this name was chosen! 🕷

What's the story behind your pet's name (or names!)?

03/08/2024

It has been a particularly heart wrenching last two weeks in which we have had to say goodbye to a lot of our very old friends. If we put them all separately, our page will become a very sad one, but we do want to dedicate this post to them all and to the owners who have had to make this very brave decision and have honoured their pets by doing what is best for them. Please know that we remember them and thinking of you all. Norman, Stella, Willow, Charlie, Anna and Max. Also Tilly, Tinkie and Pumba. We also wanted to include Moomin and little Luna, whose dad is particularly heart sore at losing his companion at a very young age. May the good memories bring you peace and a smile. 💕

🐾 A pet and their favourite pal must not be parted!

Has your furry family member got a true love in the form of a toy?! 🐶🐱🐹

28/07/2024

Let's chat about vaccinations - little Hamish here came along for his jabs last week. And, understandably, he was a little nervous but some treats and lots of fuss from Tjitske meant it was over in a flash. 🐾

Vaccinations protect your precious pets from potentially fatal illnesses, and puppies should visit us at around 8 weeks for their first ones. Further vaccinations will be given at 12 and then 16 weeks before they are fully protected. We'll then remind you to come in for boosters as required.

Feel free to drop any questions in the comments. 👇

And, whilst we've got your attention, can anyone guess Hamish's breed? 🐶

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.
