Shiny but Dangerous
Tinsel, shiny decorations, and tree ornaments might look festive, but they can be hazardous to pets! Cats love to climb trees, and if they ingest tinsel or string, it can cause serious gastrointestinal issues or blockages.
Keep fragile decorations and tinsel out of reach!

Raisin' Trouble!
Beware of dried fruits like raisins and sultanas - theyโre toxic to pets and can cause kidney failure. A tiny snack for us could be a huge problem for them.
Keep festive fruitcakes and treats far away!

Wine Not? Because Alcohol is Toxic for Pets!
Alcohol might be festive for us, but it's dangerous for pets! Even a small sip can cause vomiting, difficulty breathing, or worse.
Keep those cocktails and mulled wines well out of pawโs reach this holiday season!

Nuts About Trouble!
Macadamia nuts might be a tasty snack for humans, but theyโre a serious hazard for pets! Just a few can lead to weakness, tremors, and vomiting.
Letโs keep those nutty treats to ourselves!

Preventing fleas is easier than dealing with an infestation.
Regularly using effective licensed veterinary flea products is key but remember: some treatments for dogs can be highly toxic to our feline friends, so exercise caution. If you suspect your pet has fleas, don't hesitate give us a call. We can recommend an appropriate flea product and provide guidance on usage and other measures. 01273 692257
*Under new regulations animals need to be examined and a tailored antiparasite treatment prescribed when veterinary prescription medicines are given. Your vet will then advise how many times your pet can receive the treatment before another veterinary assessment is made.
Treating one pet in a multi-pet household wonโt fix a flea problem โ๏ธ
Check your pet for fleas by combing their fur with a fine-toothed flea comb over a white piece of paper towel, tissue or cotton wool.
The comb will catch fleas and their droppings. If you spot small black specks on the paper, add a drop of water to them. If these specks dissolve and create a reddish-brown stain (like a red halo), this may indicate the presence of fleas.

Jesse came in for his health check with our nurse Sarah, itโs safe to say he was loving every minute of his time on a towel sprayed with pet remedy! ๐ป
