According to a recent PDSA report, there has been a significant increase in pets who have been imported from aboard, especially cats and rabbits. 😺🐰

While they do not represent a large percentage of pet acquisitions, adopting from abroad has become more popular in recent years, and it has been reported that prospective owners often do so to get pets with certain physical traits, such as cropped ears, docked tails or no claws.

We’d like to remind you that these procedures are unethical and that actively looking for pets who have been subjected to them keeps encouraging those who perform them. It’s up to all of us to put an end to tail docking, ear cropping and declawing!

Let’s talk spaying and neutering—besides helping to reduce unplanned litters, spaying and neutering can help your pet lead a healthier life.

Did you know that...

👉 Spayed females have a lower risk of uterine infections and certain tumours?

👉 Neutered males have a lower risk of prostate problems and are less likely to wander, fight, or urine mark furniture?

If you’re unsure about whether neutering is the right option for your pet, about when the right time for the procedure is, or about what to expect, give us a ring or come by for a chat. We’re here to help you make the best choice for your furry friend! 🐶🐱💚

You may think that there isn’t much to consider when choosing a hamster wheel, however, it is important that the size of the wheel is safe for the size of your hamster.

The current recommendations depend on the breed and size of hamster:

👉 Syrian: 27-32 cm

👉 Campbell's dwarf: 22-25cm

👉 winter white: 22-25cm

👉 Roborovski: 20-22cm

👉 Chinese dwarf: 25-27cm

If a wheel is too small for your hamster, it can damage their spines due to them bending abnormally. Wheels with a textured surface should also be avoided so that they do not sustain an injury to their feet.

Whatever the size, a wheel should always be a solid structure, axle free, and if possible, have a non-slip running surface.

Just like cats and dogs, exotic pets can become bored if they’re not provided with the correct enrichment. Unwanted behaviours such as self-mutilation and destructiveness can occur.

We need to make sure that exotic pets are stimulated as much as possible. Rats and birds require plenty of interactive toys and even human interaction. Hamsters need a deep layer of substrate to be able to exhibit burrowing behaviours. 🦜🐀

But, what about reptiles? The best way to offer enrichment for reptiles is by making their environment as close to nature as possible. A bioactive enclosure is the best way to do this, which includes live plants and soil. 🦎

Offer reptiles a few different hiding places, as well as logs and sticks to climb and explore.

As the weather gets colder, cats often try to find dry, sheltered hiding spots. For this reason, it is very common for cats to crawl into car engines and wheel wells, and they can easily get injured if they're still in there when the car is started!

Please remember to:

🐈 Bang loudly on the bonnet and honk the horn

🐈 Take a quick look under the car and check over the tyres

🐈 If you start your car and hear any unusual noise, immediately turn it off!

These simple steps will give cats a chance to escape and avoid unnecessary accidents!

Are you considering welcoming a new furry member into your family? 🤔

Before you make your decision, we’d like to remind you that there are more options than puppies or kittens!

If you don’t have much time to commit to house training or handling the needs of a high-energy adolescent pet, how about adopting an adult or even a senior companion?

Is there more to pet clothing than a fashion choice? 🤔

The answer is yes! There are items of clothing and accessories that your pet can wear to serve an important purpose, such as:

🐾 Post-surgical body suits to keep sutures out of reach

🐾 Snow booties to provide traction and protection

🐾 Reflective vests to enhance your pet’s visibility in the dark

🐾 Fleece jackets to keep them warm during cold weather

Does your pet wear any of these? Show us in the comments!

Cold and damp days are not the best conditions for joint pain, and this has a huge impact on for senior dogs with a lifetime of wear and tear! ❄️🐶

Chronic health conditions such as osteoarthritis are more common with age, and you might notice your golden oldie has a lot more stiffness in their movements these days, especially as they get out of bed in the morning or are out for walks.

Here are some ways to help:

🦴 Avoid going on long walks or engaging in rough playtime, as it might put undue strain on their joints and muscles.

🦴 Improve their resting time by ensuring their bed is as comfortable as possible and away from cold drafts.

🦴 If you notice your furry friend is struggling, don’t hesitate to contact us, as there’s a lot we can do to ensure your golden oldie is pain free.

Unfortunately, cats are often prone to urinary problems, one of which is feline idiopathic cystitis. Idiopathic means that this condition has no identifiable cause, but we find it more common in young to middle-aged cats. 🐈

Medical treatment can help reduce the frequency and improve clinical signs, thus relieving your cat's discomfort.

But the main thing to be aware of is changes in the environment that may trigger clinical signs in your cat, leading to this condition becoming recurrent. Environmental enrichment is key for these animals, and this can include:
👉 Keeping a regular daily schedule for feeding, playing and affection
👉 Making any changes to your cat’s routine slowly over time
👉 Adding scratching posts and toys
👉 Reducing competition in multiple cat households by having one more litter tray than the number of cats, plenty of resting places, and individual access to food and water for each cat

Get in touch with us if you spot these signs in your cat, as a thorough investigation is needed!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who go to the doctor for regular check-ups and those who only seek help if something’s wrong. The same is true for cat owners! 🐈 Cats are secretive animals, and they are great at masking signs that they are unwell. But, while this would be considered an advantage in the wild, in our pets, it can be the opposite. ⚠️ There are a range of diseases that we can prevent through regular vet visits, vaccinations and parasite treatments, and plenty of other illnesses that we can treat or manage well if detected at an early stage, such as hyperthyroidism or chronic kidney disease. 🩺 If you postpone these visits because your cat is not a fan of coming in, talk to our team. We’re more than happy to work out with you how we can make everything more pleasant for everyone! 🥰

Have you ever heard of the Bengal cat breed? These beautiful feline friends are known for their distinctive spotted coat and graceful agility, making them one of the most popular breeds in the world! 🐈 We can’t help but be absolutely captivated by their intelligence, natural charm and unending curiosity. They are perfect for active owners that can meet the high mental and physical needs of this born athlete, as boredom is their worst enemy. Are you the lucky friend of a Bengal? Show us your best pictures! 📷

May the shedding season be short and may the fur storm not take over every corner of your house! What’s the most epic shedding you’ve ever seen? Share your best photos with us!

Many cat owners are familiar with FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) and FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus), two very common viruses that can lead to serious or even fatal illnesses. Disease progression is characterised by destruction of the immune system and, unfortunately, there is no cure. However, we have a number of options to manage these diseases and make sure your cat is comfortable. This is especially important if your cat lives with other cats, if you have recently added another cat to the family, or if your cat has outdoor access. Unlike FIV, a vaccine is available for FeLV, so don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like more information about vaccinating your feline friend. 💉
