Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for them.
An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV). Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

National Smile Month
The month of May is officially National Smile Month, which we consider to be the perfect time to share joy and positivity and show off those pearly whites. Keeping teeth in tip-top condition is not just important for humans, but for pets too, and that’s why our trained vets and nurses offer full dental checks at our practices. We recommend pets have regular dental check ups to prevent diseases that can otherwise be difficult to detect at home.

Today is National Hairball Awareness Day! Many of our feline friends will bring up a cat hairball (fur ball) at some stage in their lives.
The odd hairball is to be expected, especially during moulting season in long-furred felines. However, hairballs can sometimes indicate an underlying issue and are something we should be paying attention to.
If you are concerned about your cat, please contact us on 01373 466100 and for further pet care and advice visit: vetcollection.co.uk/health
