*FOUND*

We have sadly had a deceased, young female tabby cat with unusual markings handed into our Bury St Edmunds branch.

She was found deceased outside the Fornham All Saints Hotel.

Unfortunately, she is not microchipped.

If you think that this might be your cat, please call our Bury branch on 01284 753961. Proof of ownership will be required.

Hop to It – Time for a Dental Check🐰

Rabbits have teeth that grow continuously throughout their lives, making them prone to dental issues such as overgrown molars and sharp spurs.

These problems often develop silently but can affect appetite, digestion, and quality of life.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection and keeping your rabbit comfortable and well.

🍫 WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY 🍫

A ✅ bingo for humans.
A ❌ bingo for dogs.

While we’re all about celebrating World Chocolate Day, our pets should definitely sit this one out.

Even small amounts of certain chocolates can cause symptoms between 4 and 24 hours after eating from vomiting to hyperactivity – so, keep those goodies high and your vet’s number handy, just in case.

Let’s enjoy the chocolate without sharing it - your pets will thank you for it!

Don’t Brush It Off – Get a Dental Check🐶

Did you know that most dogs show visible signs of dental disease by age three?

Left untreated, this can progress to periodontal disease which has been associated with diseases of other organs such as the kidney and heart.

Routine dental examinations allow us to spot problems early and help keep your dog healthy, happy, and pain-free. Please call your local branch to arrange a dental check.

🦷 Feline Fine With Healthy Teeth🐱

Dental disease is extremely common in cats, especially as they get older - yet signs often go unnoticed at home.

Regular dental checks help us detect issues like gingivitis, tooth resorption and tartar build-up early, preventing discomfort and long-term complications.

If your cat hasn’t had a recent check, it may be time to book in. Call your local branch to get booked in 📆

🛣️ HOT TARMAC 🛣️

If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for their paws!

Tarmac and pavements can reach scorching temperatures in the sun and may cause serious burns to your dog’s paws.

☀️ Walk during the cooler parts of the day - early morning or late evening
🌳 Stick to shaded routes or grassy areas
🖐️ Use the ‘5-second test’: if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to walk on

Let’s keep our pets safe and cool this summer!

BEE AWARE 🐝 Inquisitive noses and buzzing bees don’t always mix!

If your dog gets stung by a bee or wasp, here’s what to do:

🐝Remove the sting (if visible) by gently scraping it out with a bank card or something similar — don’t use tweezers, as they can squeeze more venom in.
🐝 Soothe the area with a cold compress or clean cloth soaked in cold water.
🐝 Watch for signs of a serious reaction, such as:
– Swelling, especially around the mouth, throat or eyes
– Vomiting or diarrhoea
– Trouble breathing
– Weakness or collapse

📞 If your pet shows any of these signs, or is stung on the face, inside the mouth or throat, call your vet right away - reactions can develop quickly and be serious.

🥒 SUMMER TREAT

Cool as a Cucumber – and pet-friendly too!
On a warm summer day, cooled cucumber slices make a great hydrating snack for dogs (and some cats too!).

✅ Low in calories
✅ High in water
✅ Crunchy and satisfying

Always serve in small, manageable pieces – and never seasoned or pickled!

❗ Not every pet is a fan, and that’s okay – every treat should suit their tummy and taste.

🚫🥵 On a hot day, a conservatory is hotter. Twice as hot to be exact!

Keep them cool and safe this summer by avoiding the conservatory trap. 🏞️❌

Whether it's scorching outside or just warm, remember: pets deserve shade, water, and a comfy indoor oasis. 🌿💦

Beat the heatwave and let them chill with you inside! 🏠❤️

Calling all light-coloured pets!

While fur provides some protection, areas with thin or light-coloured hair, such as the nose, ears, and belly, are especially vulnerable to UV rays. Protect your pet by limiting their time in direct sunlight, providing shaded areas, and applying pet-safe sunscreen to exposed areas that cannot be licked off. Keep sunscreen away from the eyes and mouth. ​

Remember, prevention is key to keeping your pet safe and comfortable in the sun! 🌞🐾
