Christmas Decor Dangers 🎄🎁

There are lots of new things in the house at Christmas for our pets to investigate; decorations, wrapping paper, new toys and lots of boxes to play in 🐾

Unfortunately, some things around the house can pose more risk than others, for example:

🪴 Plants - poinsettias, holly, ivy, mistletoe and lilies can be toxic to pets

🎄Decorations - tinsel can be particularly problematic to our pets if ingested, and baubles that could shatter should be avoided

🔋Batteries and electric cables - particularly dangerous if swallowed or chewed

Visit our website below for more information on what to be mindful of during the festive period 👇

If you are concerned about your pet over the festive period and need to see a vet, please call us on: 01172460461 📞

Pet Microchip Scam ⚠️

We want to make everyone aware that there is an email circulating in the UK relating to pet microchips and we urge you to think twice before clicking on any links.

❗️If you receive an email from Petchip Network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated – PLEASE IGNORE. THIS IS A SCAM.

❗️The email comes with a link taking you to a page that may show your pet’s name, microchip number and your contact phone number, so it may look very convincing. PLEASE IGNORE.

✅ There is a list of approved microchip databases on the government website: https://www.gov.uk/get-your-dog-cat-microchipped

✅ Typically you would only pay a fee to a microchip company on first registering your pet or if you contact the company to update your details.

It is important to keep your pet’s microchip contact details up-to-date, including if you move address or change phone number/ email address (you will need to contact your microchip provider to do so).
