Do you know how to spot blue-green algae?

Exposure to blue-green algae can cause long-term health problems in pets and can even be fatal. By drinking from or swimming in contaminated water, pets are at a high risk of becoming seriously ill.

Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet is at risk of blue-green algae poisoning. For more information of what to look out for and how to protect your pet, read our advice article here: https://bit.ly/3LqTmA4

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.

It’s important to keep your pet hydrated all year round as it delivers lots of benefits to your pets health, but especially during the warmer months. Cats and dogs both sweat through their paw pads, so as they’ll do this more now it’s hot, they will need to be provided with more fresh water. 💧

Read our tips below on keeping your pet hydrated and how to spot the symptoms of dehydration in your dog, cat or rabbit.

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.

The law is changing - from 10 June 2024, cats in England must be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they’re 20 weeks old. The penalty for not microchipping your cat could be a £500 fine. A microchipped cat has a much higher chance of being reunited - please microchip your cat. We're offering a 25% discount of microchipping until the end of June. Book an appointment today. https://www.medivetgroup.com/vet-practices/

What better way to participate this year’s than to spend some time with your pets?

This year’s theme, Movement: moving for our mental health, encourages people to move in a way that suits them. Whether you’re taking your dog for a walk or playing games with your cat, being physically active is great for our minds and bodies. It's also a great way to bond with your pet.

Increased physical activity is not the only mental health benefit of spending time with your pet. Read our article on the six other mental health benefits of being a pet owner here: https://www.medivetgroup.com/pet-care/pet-advice/six-ways-pet-ownership-benefits-your-mental-health/

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

Is your rabbit protected against Myxomatosis? This highly infectious viral disease has a very high mortality rate and can leave your rabbit prone to other infections.

The best way to protect your rabbit is to vaccinate them, especially as there is no cure if your rabbit becomes infected. There's also ways to reduce the risk of your rabbit catching the virus.

Whether the sun is out or hiding in the clouds, your pets will want to be out in the garden this spring. Did you know there may be some hidden dangers in your garden that can injure or poison your pet?

Pets can develop allergies to certain plants, pollen, and insects. If you notice any hay-fever like symptoms, such as itchy, watery eyes or sneezing, contact your vet for advice. They can help you identify the causes and ease your pet’s symptoms.

Hello Everyone, I'm Ally your Head Nurse. I'm relatively new here at Medivet as I only started in October, but I already love working here. I have previously worked in general practice, zoos and referral centres so have a wide range of knowledge and experience. Some may call me a crazy cat lady as I love all things Cats! Including my gorgeous boy Sullivan! In practice you will find me with my hand in everything, but I do love seeing all our lovely patients and getting in as many cuddles as I can. If you need any help, then I am always here so please give me a shout. Hope to see you soon :)

Training your dog and teaching them commands can be really rewarding. If you're wanting your dog to learn some simple commands, we've put some tips together to help.

All dogs learn at a different rate so be patient, be consistent in your approach, avoid distractions, reward them with praise and occasional treats, and always have fun while you're doing it.

Making sure your rabbit has the right diet will not only keep them healthy and full of the nutrients they need, but can also improve their dental health and regulate their digestive system.

Hay and grass should make up around 80% of your rabbit's diet, this can be fresh or dried grass, but they should have unlimited access to it. They can have a small amount of vegetables each day, around 15% of their diet. Rabbit-safe vegetables include broccoli, carrots, courgette and green beans.

Earlier this week we had the pleasure of meeting these three tiny beans (kittens ) and their wonderful mum! Unfortunately she wouldn’t stay still for a photo!! How cute are they!?! Did you know kittens are born with their eyes shut and their ears are sealed shut too.

Mrs Biggles heart beat
Mrs Biggles heart beat

Following from the update this morning on Mrs Biggles this is the doppler, we use this instead of a stethoscope, the noise you can hear is Biggles heart beat!

Update on Mrs Biggles- (the bearded dragon found in the field in Sandy) Sadly we found she had no use of one of her back legs nor the end of her tail. Jacky (our new vet) performed amputations of both a few weeks ago. She is doing really well.

Here are Mars and Arnie using an activity feeder! These are great for indoor cats that need more mental stimulation and also for cats that are on a diet. It helps them to do a little exercise, and makes their food last a little longer. I like to use it before I go to bed to keep them entertained for a little while. 👍🐾

We all know a crazy cat lady 😻 this is our nurse Holly taking her cat Ludo for a walk, Ludo came in as a potential blood donor for another sick patient

Can anyone guess who this is? 💜🐾 😻 It's Ariel!!! Big girl now!

Not so little Princess Ariel 💜🐾 please put the sound on to watch 😻😻

Here is a video of our waiting room, we have got some new chairs and screens. We also have a lovely cat tower for you to put your cats on whilst waiting to see the Vet :)

These two beauties are Jade's dogs. They are called Lemmy and Amber. 💜 My favourite picture has to be the 😛😛!!

My boys love to play with catnip toys. 💜🐾 What do your pets at home like to play with?

Even at 16yrs old it is still important to play with your cat not only does it help to stimulate them but it's good exercise even though Porky decided not to leave the comfort of her bed !!!

Watch this 🐾💜 little Ariel and her first meal. 😺

Simba and Nala 💜🐾😻

Update on Ariel! 💜 she's doing well, gaining weight daily. Please turn the sound up, you can hear her purr! 😻😻

For all you cat lovers here's Porky having a good wash and as our Mums used to say 'don't forget to clean behind your ears'
