⚠️ Contagious cough (also known as Kennel cough) is widespread, distressing and highly contagious ⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated dogs, caught from anywhere other dogs explore; the park, daycare, training classes, shared water bowls outside shops...

Yearly vaccination throughout life is the best way to protect your dog and reduce the spread. Check with your vet today if your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

Don’t delay! Book your dog in for their vaccination by visiting our website.

Chocolate, cooked bones, hot cross buns, and sugar-free
sweets might be Easter favourites, but they can be toxic to
dogs.
Keep your dog safe – and avoid an emergency trip to the
vet – by keeping these foods well out of reach this Easter.

Did you know even a small amount of raisins (or grapes)
can be dangerous for dogs?
They can cause kidney failure, so it’s important to act fast
if your dog eats any.
What to do if your dog eats raisins or grapes:
Call your vet immediately. Don’t wait for symptoms
If you can, tell them how much they’ve eaten
Signs of raisin poisoning include vomiting, lethargy, and
loss of appetite. Even if your dog seems fine, seek
veterinary advice.

Lambing season is here, so take extra care walking your
dog in the countryside.
Sheep and their lambs scare easily, and even the
friendliest dog can cause distress. Keep them on a lead
near livestock, and stick to footpaths. It’s a simple way to
protect wildlife and keep your dog out of trouble.
