Check out our new recycling scheme - we are now able to recycle empty blister packets from medication (both human and animal!)

Medicinal blister packets can't be recycled in standard household recycling so if you have any empty blister packets from human or animal medication that you want to recycle, please bring them into any of our Longwell Green, Keynsham or Brislington branches and hand them to reception who will put them in the recycling bin for you!

Please make sure they are empty blister packets, and that they aren't in any other packaging and don't have any personal information on them.

We are so excited about increasing our recycling and reducing waste!"

Our first priority when your pets visit us is their safety at all times.

Please ensure that cats are restrained in baskets or other suitable carriers, and dogs are kept under control and on a lead at all times in the car park and waiting room.

If you need any assistance to meet these requirements, please let us know so that we may help.

This is particularly important when antibiotics are being used. We should always give antibiotics for the shortest length of time required to achieve a cure, however if a longer course is required this should be continuous for them to be effective and create the least antimicrobial resistance.

Finishing a short course of antibiotics, seeing that symptoms recur, then restarting treatment is much less effective. This will usually require a longer total course of treatment (as bacteria will have multiplied again while treatment was not being given) and prove more expensive.

Sometimes a condition has improved but not resolved at the time of a recheck. Your vet will know what degree of improvement is expected in a particular timeframe and be able to decide whether your pet simply needs more time, or whether treatment plans need changing. If required, medication doses may be changed or additional medications can be prescribed. The earlier it is identified that a first-line treatment is insufficient for an individual case, the sooner we can intervene to achieve a cure
in a timely and economic fashion.

The pet insurance market can be very overwhelming but it can be made easier by deciding the type of policy that would suit you best to narrow your search

Depending on the age of your pet and level of cover you would like to protect them with, you can then start considering the different polices for that type of
insurance.

Remember not all pet insurance is the same so it is a good idea to check the cover provided and ask if you will be paying more for claiming.

🐾Salt and grit on paws 🐾

Salt and grit used for de-icing roads can pose risks to a dog’s paws. It can irritate their paw pads, causing redness, cracking or peeling.

In an attempt to remove the salt, dogs may lick their paws, but this can lead to them
ingesting chemicals that can upset their stomachs or cause more severe issues.
Grit found on the roads sometimes causes micro-cuts and abrasions on paw pads, increasing the chance of infection.

🐾Prevention and Care: 🐾
▪️Use dog boots to shield paws from salt and grit.
▪️Apply a paw wax or balm before walks to create a protective barrier.
▪️Rinse and wipe your dog’s paws with warm water and a soft cloth after walks.
▪️Check paws regularly for cuts or signs of irritation.
▪️Trim fur between paw pads to prevent ice and grit accumulation.

🐾First Aid for Irritated Paws: 🐾

▪️Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
▪️Apply a soothing paw balm or petroleum jelly.
▪️If irritation persists or there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, limping), please call us to book an appointment ☎
