Did you know…

The safest way to dispose of your pet’s unused/out-of-date flea and worm treatments and veterinary medicines is to return them to your veterinary surgery 🩺

Disposal at home could be harmful for the environment 💔

Please look after our environment by taking care to return any medicine you don’t use ❤️

Safe disposal of USED flea & worm pipettes 👍

Always replace the lid securely before putting in to normal household waste. This prevents any trace of the product left inside the pipette from seeping out, which could be harmful to the environment.

Training birds to take treats out of a syringe can reduce the stress associated with medicating if your pet ever becomes sick in the future. Try offering fruit juice, nut butter (like almond or macadamia nut butter), or apple sauce using the syringe. As with all training, use positive reinforcement (they are already getting a treat but don’t forget to use verbal praise!), and use gradual steps to get to the ultimate behavior of taking the treat out of the syringe.
