With this weekend set to be another hot one, are you aware of what kind of temperatures can be harmful to your companions?
๐ Walking your dog in temperatures up to 19 degrees is generally safe, however some dogs can be at risk of heatstroke in temperatures as low as 20 degrees.
๐ Heatstroke occurs when dogs are no longer able to self-regulate and keep their temperature at a comfortable level. It is a life-threatening condition which is brought on by a sudden rise in body temperature and can lead to organ failure.
Signs of Heatstroke can include:
- Being restless and distressed.
- Heavy panting/drooling
- Unsteady on feet
- Vomiting
- Unconsciousness
- Glassy eyes
- Gums turning a bluish-purple or a bright red colour
- Seizures
If you suspect your pet is suffering from Heatstroke it is important to get them seen by a Vet as soon as possible!
The best way to prevent Heatstroke is:
๐ฅ Never exercise your dog in the middle of a hot day.
๐ฅ Always provide a cool, shaded area for your dog to relax in.
๐ฅ Make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh drinking water.
๐ฅ Never, ever leave your dog in a parked car or hot, stuffy room, even for a short period of time.

Ozzy will feature on September's back page. ๐

Did you know..
๐พ Kittens are born with their eyes closed. At about 7-10 days a kitten will open their eyes, but their vision will not be fully developed until they are 5 weeks old.
๐พ When they are born, kittens eyes are blue. Some breeds will retain their blue colour, like Siamese, but most will change to another colour , like green or yellow-green.
Have you got any photos of your little kittens?
We would love to see them ๐

The final day of Rabbit Awareness Week is all about Companionship!๐ฉท
Rabbits are social animals, this means they must live in pairs or groups to keep them happy!Littermates usually make the best companions - but they should always be neutered to prevent unwanted litters. Rabbit siblings can mate with each other!
Did you know? ๐
In the wild a group of rabbits is called a colony, or a fluffle! In these groups, there can be between 10-50 rabbits.

Triday is a day where we raise awareness about limb amputation. Whether your beloved pet was born with only 3 limbs or has had to have an amputation due to limb cancers, injury, neglect or congenital changes, today is all about them! It is always amazing how quickly a cat or dog adjusts to having a limb removed. You will find when they have one limb removed they then compensate with the other limbs they have, because of this they could be prone to having joint problems. As a preventative treatment Cats and Dog's can be put onto a good joint supplement, for example, Synoquin. Here you can see our Practice Manager, Claire Mariner's two dogs - who have both had a back leg amputated - charging around the field having a great time! They certainly don't let the fact they only have 3 legs stop them! Do you have any 3 legged pets? We would love to see them!
๐พMarch is Pet Anxiety Awareness Month๐พ Did you know that dogs can suffer from anxiety just like we can? Whether it's due to travelling, meeting new people, visiting the vets, staying home alone, loud noises, the vacuum cleaner... the list goes on! In the UK, 82% of dogs and 89% of cats are reported to be scared of something! Here are some things you can do to help you dog cope better during the situations they find stressful. It's not easy for the dog or their family when they're living with anxiety, so remember you are not alone, your vet can help.
Our Vet Tania has recently rehomed some ex battery chickens. Here they are enjoying life in their new home!๐
