Have you ever wondered why cats jump so silently and gracefully? 😺

The pads on their paws act as excellent shock absorbers as they soften the impact of the fall and muffle the sound, making them silent hunters who often go unnoticed by their prey.

If you’ve recently become a pet owner, you might be wondering if it’s worth it to neuter them. If you don’t plan on breeding them, our answer will always be yes!

Whether your pet is male or female, neutering has many other benefits than just preventing unwanted litters. It also:

👉 Prevents cancer, such as ovarian cancer in females and testicular cancer in males

👉 Helps prevent mammary tumours that are hormone-dependent

👉 Prevents womb infections in females

👉 Reduces some unwanted behaviours, such as roaming or running away

Although no surgery is without risk, neutering is a routine and well-tolerated procedure. Pets usually need around a week to recover (less if you choose keyhole surgery), but recovery is usually uneventful.

Once your pet has been neutered, all you have to do is follow our recommendations, give them time to rest, assess their wound daily and ensure it’s clean, and go easy on exercise for a few days.

Get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns about neutering your pet!

Our pets are living longer and longer these days, and although that means we get to spend more time with them, it also increases the likelihood of them being diagnosed with a chronic illness at some point in their lives. 🐈🐕

Here are some tips for dealing with a long-term disease:

👉 Don't be afraid to ask us difficult questions or to speak up when you don't fully understand what we're explaining to you.

👉 Feel free to ask us to write down any information regarding your pet's condition or medication.

👉 Monitor the evolution of your pet's clinical signs and bring them in (or give us a call) if you spot something concerning.

👉 If you need to leave your pet with someone else, make sure they have all the necessary instructions to take care of your pet and our phone number saved on their phone if needed.

Ultimately, we're here to help you and your pet navigate this difficult situation, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

If you’re looking to get a specific breed, you might be tempted to buy your pet online.

A certain puppy or kitten you see on social media might get your attention, and the sellers might tell you their pets are perfectly healthy, but how can you be sure that’s true?

It’s not uncommon for puppies bought online to fall ill with serious diseases like parvovirus due to a lack of vaccinations, or to be illegally sold by third-party vendors.

If you really want to buy a specific breed, we’d recommend buying from an ethical breeder registered with a reputable organisation, such as The Kennel Club or The World Cat Federation. 🐶😺

Before making any commitments, ask to see their premises and the puppy/kitten’s parents, plus all the pet’s documentation, such as a vaccination card, a pedigree certificate and a registration document. 📃 Remember that an ethical breeder will only let you receive your pet once they’re weaned and no longer need their parents.

💖STRAY CAT💖

This lovely lady has been handed into us at Avenue Vets, she is microchipped and there are links to a microchip in Spain but unfortunately the chip has not been registered in the UK.

Found around Crown Road, Kingswood.

Please contact Avenue Vets on 0117 9569038 if you believe she belongs to you - we will require proof of ownership before being able to hand her back.

As we go on amazing walks with our pets during this season, they might be tempted to pick stuff up from the ground that they shouldn’t, and this might include a possibly toxic mushroom!

Wild mushrooms are a common sight during the autumn and there are many different species. Some of these are edible while some can be very dangerous if ingested and distinguishing between these two types can be challenging, as they can look very similar.

If your dog has eaten something they shouldn’t have, call us as soon as possible and, if you can, take a picture of the mushroom they ingested! 📞📷

Should your pet ever require surgery, we’re here to support you and your pet every step of the way.

If our vets feel that surgery is in your pet's best interests, they will discuss the intended procedure in full, including any associated risks.

Our vets are experienced surgeons, adept at routine surgeries, such as neutering, as well as non-elective, complex, and emergency surgeries.

All our patients are monitored carefully by qualified nurses both during the surgery and post-operatively, and most will return home the same day. Those who require ongoing treatment and monitoring will be transferred to the inpatient care team, who will continue to monitor them and attend to their every need.

Head over to our website for more information about our surgical services 🔗 https://avenue-vets.com/surgery/

Do you have more than one cat? 😺😺

Although sometimes it can be tricky to get multiple cats to get along, it is possible to have a harmonious feline household!

Do you have several cats that play together, sleep together and groom each other? Let’s see them in the comments below!

Did you know that cats like to play fetch? 😺

According to research, cats who initiate fetching sessions play with more enthusiasm and invite you to play with them more frequently.

But not all cats enjoy playing fetch, and it’s important to pay attention to your feline’s preferences, since play is essential for a cat’s wellbeing and strengthens your bond with your furry friend.

If your feline companion doesn’t go outside and is happy spending their days enjoying all the comforts of your home, you may wonder whether vaccinating them is worth it. 💉

It’s important to keep in mind that even if your cat doesn’t go outdoors, there’s a small chance you can carry viruses home with you that are harmful for your pets. Also, your cat might be curious to go outside if they find a door or window open, or run off during scary and stressful events like fireworks.

So, vaccinating them is always beneficial and is the best way to ensure your cat is protected against dangerous but preventable diseases.

Get in touch with us if your cat is due a vaccination appointment!
