⚠⚠⚠ About reminders! ⚠⚠⚠

Our reminder system for repeat medications is a curtosey and does not always fall in line with when medications are due. Our system is based on when the mediction was previously prescribed and not when the client requested or was given items.

Relying on reminders via technology can sometimes let us down so we are therefore asking that owners please keep track of their own medication and when these need ordering. Please make sure that items are ordered in a timely fashion and be aware that it can take between 48-72 hours for certain items to be delivered.

Thank you and have a lovely weekend! ☀☀☀

It's allergy season 🥲
Our pets can struggle just as much as their human owners so knowing what to look out for can be detrimental to their health and comfort levels.

That's why we're going to be sending out an allergy guide via email in the next couple of days so look out for this hitting your inbox!

The sun is here! ☀️☀️☀️
As happy as we are to have a few extra degrees, it's important to remember that like humans, pets can struggle in warmer weather too.
Make sure that they have adequate shade, plenty of water and never ever leave them in the car unattended.

📢📢📢 Lost Pet Prevention Month is an important occasion to highlight the noteworthiness of microchipping. 📢📢📢

If your pet is yet to be microchipped then this quick procedure can easily be done during a routine vet consulation. Simply book an appointment and give yourself peace of mind in the knowledge that chipping leads to a higher percentage of lost pet reunions every year.

It's National Pet Fire Safety Day 🔥🔥🔥

Here's some tips on how you can protect yourself, your family, your home and your pets:

- Make sure that your pet is microchipped or has ID in case you're seperated during a fire.
- Pet proof your house. Keep hazards like flammables or electric wires out of paws reach.
- Never leave your pets alone around an open flame. If your pet is rambunctious then it's best to avoid candles.
- Prevent pets from touching stovetops and be mindful of them in the kitchen.
- Make sure that smoke alarms function properly and educate yourself on fire safety.
- Have an emergency plan/ test this out with a fire drill.

MISSING - BRIDGE OF ALLAN

This wee guy’s missing from the Castle View Drive area. He is a rescue cat and his owners only got him on Friday night so he is still quite upset. He is not neutered or chipped yet and he has bald bits on his shoulders which the vet said was likely due to stress. Please check your sheds and garages
