🚨🌊 Beware of saltwater poisoning!

As summer heats up, it's important to keep our pets safe at the beach and around salt water.

Saltwater poisoning can occur when pets ingest large amounts of saltwater, leading to dehydration, vomiting, diarrhoea, and, in severe cases, seizures or even death.

Here's how to protect your pet:

✔️ Hydration: Provide fresh water to prevent them from drinking saltwater.

✔️Monitor Play: Limit intense play in the sea and watch for excessive swallowing of seawater.

✔️Signs of Trouble: Watch for symptoms like lethargy, confusion, or vomiting after beach outings.

If you suspect saltwater poisoning, contact your vet immediately. Prevention and quick action are key to keeping your pets safe this summer! 🌞🐶🐱

We are pleased to announce a significant advancement in our sustainability efforts at Wilbury. In collaboration with SageTech Veterinary, we are piloting an innovative anaesthetic gas capture technology designed to minimise our environmental impact.

The industry-leading use of this trusted gas-capture technology captures volatile waste anaesthetic agents breathed out during an operation, which is safely adsorbed into a specially developed reusable capture canister.

These waste anaesthetic agents can then be extracted from the filter, avoiding current routes for disposal of volatile anaesthetic agents of incineration or release into the atmosphere.

We take pride in our sustainability initiatives and remain committed to fostering a more sustainable future.

Today, we celebrate our loyal and loving canine companions who bring endless joy and happiness into our lives.

International Dog Day, founded in 2004, aims to raise awareness about dog adoption and the importance of providing rescue dogs with a safe and loving home.

Rescuing a dog not only transforms their life but also enriches yours with unconditional love and companionship. These dogs often show immense gratitude and loyalty, proving that second chances can lead to remarkable bonds.

🏖️Heading to the beach this summer?

Dog-friendly beaches are great places for dogs to exercise and have fun, but it is important to be aware of hidden hazards and possible dangers when planning a trip. 🐶

Here are a few things to watch out for on your next trip to the coast…

🌊 Be mindful of strong currents and tides. These can be particularly dangerous for both humans and dogs, especially if they are not familiar with the sea. Always check tide times and keep an eye on the water while you and your pet are playing near the shore.

🎣🍾🐚Secondly, be cautious of sharp objects like broken shells, glass, or discarded fishing gear. These can cause injuries to your pet's paws or if they are swallowed It's a good idea to carry a basic first-aid kit with you, just in case.

🐙 Look out for jellyfish and other marine creatures that might have washed ashore. Some can sting or bite, leading to painful reactions. Keep your dog on a lead if you suspect such hazards might be around.

🌞 Another important consideration is the heat. Sand can become extremely hot under the sun, burning your dog's paws. To avoid heatstroke, ensure that both you and your dog stay well-hydrated and find shade out of the sun.

💩 Lastly, always be respectful of local wildlife and other beachgoers. Keep your dog under control, pick up after them, and dispose of any waste properly. This helps keep beaches clean and enjoyable for everyone.

With these precautions in mind, you and your canine companion can safely enjoy the many wonderful beaches the UK has to offer.

Happy exploring! 🐕🚶

✨ daily reminder to check your dogs for grass seeds✨

This little lady wasn’t even in for grass seed removal today, but whilst anaesthetised for her dental we took the opportunity to check her fluffy paws and we found not one, but two pesky grass seeds puncturing between her toes. Luckily they both hadn’t gone too far in and were easily removed. Left much longer and these could have tracked up her paw causing painful swelling.

It’s amazing how many patients we have on a daily basis in for unrelated appointments/procedures and we find grass seeds in their fluffy feet.

July is National Pet Loss Prevention Month, which aims to minimise the number of pets that go missing, so throughout the month, we will share some top tips to help you keep your pet safe and secure.

Whether you're a new pet owner or have been one for years, these tips are designed to help you create a safe environment for your pet.

🏡Take a proactive approach by conducting a thorough inspection of your garden. Ensure your fence is not only tall enough to prevent your pet from jumping over it (ideally 6ft tall) but also deep enough into the ground to deter any escape attempts.

💨⛈️Regular checks are key to maintaining a secure environment for your pet. After any storms or high winds, it's important to inspect your garden for any potential damage that could compromise your pet's safety.

🏡 Always keep gates securely closed when your dog is in the garden to eliminate any possibility of escape.

Here are some tips on what to do with your pet on a hot day as the temperatures begin to rise… ☀️ 🐶 🐱 🐰

24/06/2024

🐰 This week is Rabbit Awareness Week, and this year’s theme is ‘Healthy Diet, Happy Bunnies’, so today, we wanted to share a little more about the importance of a balanced diet.

Rabbits require a diet based on 80% grass or feeding hay, 15% greens, 5% good-quality pellets or nuggets (around one egg cup twice a day), and fresh water.

Feeding nuggets ensures your rabbit eats a balanced diet, as it won’t have the option to ‘selective feed’ by picking its favourite parts out of a mixed diet.

Feeding the correct diet is probably the single most important way to ensure a healthy and long-lived rabbit. Here are six top tips for ensuring your rabbit has a balanced diet...

🐇💧 You should ensure that your rabbit always has access to fresh, clean drinking water.

🐇🌿 When providing food for your rabbit, fresh grass is the preferred choice, but when not available, hay is a good substitute that is available all year round and provides them with the nutrients they require.

🐇🌾Hay provides lots of long-strand fibre, keeping your rabbit’s gut moving. It is also the closest thing to a natural diet. Rabbits would naturally graze all day in the wild, so please ensure your rabbit has an unlimited supply.

🐇 🥗 Complete rabbit food is also available, but it should not be used as a replacement for hay. Please use it as a nutritional supplement.

🐇🥦 Many plants can be safely enjoyed by rabbits, including broccoli, parsley, spring greens, and dandelions. They also love the leaves from an apple or hazel tree. When feeding them plants, you should keep the portion sizes to a minimum.

🐇🥕 Fruits should be counted as a treat for your rabbit as they are high in sugar. Your rabbit may enjoy a grape, slice of apple, slice of orange or carrots.

🍂 🐱 As autumn sets in and the nights grow longer, it's time to prepare for Bonfire Night. However, while fireworks bring us joy, they can be distressing for our feline friends. As clever creatures, cats require extra care during this time. Here are some tips to help keep your cat safe and comfortable: 🏠 Keep your cat indoors where possible and make sure they are microchipped 🤫Create a cosy and quiet space inside where they can relax and avoid the noise. 🐱Consider giving them calming treats or supplements to help them stay calm.

The fireworks season is just around the corner, but for many dogs, this time of year can be quite distressing. To ensure that your canine companion feels safe and secure during this period, it's essential to prepare them ahead of time. Here are our top three tips for keeping your pet as comfortable as possible: 🚪Keep your dog from escaping the house by securely closing all doors and windows. 🎆Close curtains and blinds to help muffle the sounds and flashing lights of fireworks. 🦮Walk your dog before it gets dark. 🔒 In case of an unexpected event, ensure your pet has an up-to-date microchip with current information. ❤️Give your dog plenty of love, attention, and fun activities to distract them. 🐶 Avoid leaving your dog alone during this time. 🎶 Have some calming music playing in the background to mask out the loud bangs of fireworks. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. #BonfireNight #Fireworks
