🐾 Meet the Team – Pet Edition! 🐾
Today we’re excited to introduce Niamh, our amazing new Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) here at DNA Vets! 💚

Niamh recently joined our team and brings with her a big heart, great energy—and a seriously adorable crew of pets! Let’s meet them…

🐍 Freddie is Niamh’s calm and curious royal python, rehomed 3 years ago after his previous owners could no longer care for him. He’s incredibly placid and loves being handled every day. His favourite spot? Wrapped gently around the back of Niamh’s neck and shoulders, watching the world go by! 👀🥰

🐈‍ Diego is 9 months old and full of personality! This cheeky little guy was found as a stray kitten in Peckham on Christmas Day last year. Niamh was working at a different clinic at the time—and it was love at first sight. One week later, Diego had found his forever home. He adores sofa cuddles, getting into mischief, and (most of all) FOOD! 🐟🎄

🐱 Tiptoe, a beautiful 10-year-old domestic long-haired cat, has been part of Niamh’s life since she was 9 years old. On Christmas morning, she woke up to find tiny Tiptoe had been left by Santa himself! 🎅🏻💕 Tiptoe is a sweet and affectionate lady who knows her boundaries. Her two favourite things? The occasional sq**rt of whipped cream and sunbathing on the porch in the summer sun ☀️🌅

We’re so thrilled to have Niamh on our team—and it’s clear her love for animals runs deep. Be sure to say hello if you see her around the practice!

☀️🐾 Summer Pet Safety Tips 🐾☀️

Summer is here, and while we all love the sunshine, it’s important to keep our furry friends safe in the heat! Here are a few top tips from the team at Chessington Veterinary Surgery to help your pets stay cool and comfortable this season:

🌡 Avoid the heat of the day
Walk your dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler. Hot pavements can burn paws—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their feet!

💧 Keep them hydrated
Always make sure your pets have access to fresh, cool water—whether at home or out and about.

🚗 Never leave pets in cars
Even with the windows open, cars can become dangerously hot in minutes. It's just not worth the risk.

🏖 Watch out for heatstroke
Signs include heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse. If you’re ever worried, call us immediately.

🧊 Cool-down options
Offer shaded areas, cooling mats, and frozen pet-friendly treats to help beat the heat.

Let’s make it a fun, safe summer for everyone—including our four-legged family members! 🌴🐶🐱

If you have any questions or concerns, give us a call or pop in—we’re always happy to help. 💚

🐾 Meet Z**i! 🐾

This little character is Z**i, our receptionist Andrea’s beloved 12-year-old Dachshund. Just like Andrea, Z**i is originally from Hungary — and she definitely brings the sass to match! 😄

Z**i may be small, but she’s full of personality. She loves barking (especially to let us know she’s arrived), isn’t the biggest fan of the vets (we try not to take it personally!), and absolutely adores running free on the beach. 🌊🐕

Last Friday, brave little Z**i underwent a big operation — and she’s already bouncing back like the strong-willed girl she is. We’re so proud of her and sending her lots of love as she continues her recovery. 💕🐶

Feel free to drop a comment to wish Z**i a speedy recovery!

🌿 Beware of Grass Seeds: Protect Your Pet This Season! 🐾

As we head into the warmer months, it’s important to be aware of the hidden dangers lurking in your garden or on walks—grass seeds! 🌾 These tiny seeds may seem harmless, but they can cause some serious problems for your pets. 😬

🐾 Why Should You Be Concerned?
Grass seeds can easily get stuck in your pet’s fur, ears, paws, or eyes. If they get embedded in the skin or other sensitive areas, they can cause pain, infections, and sometimes even require surgery to remove! 🚨

🔍 Signs Your Pet May Have Grass Seeds:

Excessive licking or biting at paws, ears, or body

Swelling or redness in areas where seeds are lodged

Limping or showing signs of discomfort

Pawing at their ears or eyes

Abnormal discharge from eyes or ears

🌿 How to Protect Your Pet:

Check your pet after walks – Always inspect their paws, ears, and coat for any hidden seeds.

Keep fur trimmed – Shorter coats are less likely to trap seeds.

Walk on safe paths – Stick to well-maintained paths and avoid long grass areas.

Regular vet check-ups – If you notice any unusual behavior or signs of discomfort, don’t hesitate to contact us for a check-up.

If you suspect your pet has a grass seed problem, bring them in for a quick examination! Our team is here to help keep your furry friends safe and comfortable. 🏥❤️

☀️🐾 **Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer!** 🐶🐱

With the hot weather we're having lately, it's important to remember that our furry friends feel the heat too!

🔥 **Top Tips to Keep Pets Safe in the Heat:**

* 💧 Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water
* 🌳 Make sure pets have access to shade or a cool indoor space
* 🕒 Avoid walks during peak heat – early morning or late evening is best
* 🚗 NEVER leave your pet in a parked car – even a few minutes can be deadly
* 🧊 Try pet-safe frozen treats for cooling off!

If your pet shows signs of heatstroke (excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse), **call us immediately.** It can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.

Let’s all keep our pets happy, hydrated, and healthy this summer! 🐕🌞🐾
