🐾🐶‼️ Hot Weather Reminder for all Dog Owners ‼️🐶🐾

Whilst the hot weather this week is set to make many of us feel like we are on holiday. It's key to remember that our furry pets are not so accustomed to the rise in temperature 🥵

It’s very important to be aware that some factors may increase your pets risk of heatstroke. Factors such as body condition (obesity), size (large dogs or puppies) and breed (flat-faced breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs and Persians etc).

So, here are some of the top tips for keeping your furry friends safe in the heat:

1. If in doubt, don't go out🚫- if conditions are suitable to go out on a walk – take plenty of water, shorten your usual route, pick shaded areas rather than open fields, keep them on the lead so they don't get too hot, take it slow with regular breaks for them to sniff, have a drink and cool down.

2. Watch out for hot pavements🔥– remember to check the surface before heading out. Simply hold your hand or bare foot on the floor for 5 seconds – if it’s too hot for you, it’s definitely too hot for your four-legged friend.

3. Provide plenty of water💧– hydration is key in hot weather! For owners and pets alike! Always leave plenty of fresh water down for pets at home. You should also consider taking a travel water bowl with you on a walk and stopping for regularly drinks breaks.

4. Provide plenty of shade ⛱ - be wary of heat traps at home - keep windows and doors open on the shaded side of the house where it's safe to do so to allow fresh, cool air to filter in. If you are leaving your pets at home for a short period of time, leave them in a cool, shaded room with access to plenty of water - draw the curtains, put on a fan (on a high shelf out of reach) or leave them a cool mat to help keep them from over-heating.

5. Never leave your dog in the car❌🚗... 'Not long, is too long'

6. Cut back their coat✂️- brush your dog daily to remove any loose fur that can act as an insulating layer. Consider having their coat groomed and thinned out or clipped shorter to help prevent over-heating. Some breeds of dog have a coat which isn’t suitable for clipping, so you should seek advice from your groomer.

If you are concerned your pet may be suffering from heatstroke please contact a vet practice immediately 📞

All the best & stay cool!

That's so FETCH! 😍

Why should you pick up one of these gorgeous bags for the arrival of spring? 🌷🪻🌼

Here's 4 reasons why!

1. They are very spacious, with enough room for keys, purses, glasses, poo bags and, of course, treats! 😋

2. Each bag has been lovingly handcrafted; making each bag a unique one-of-a-kind accessory! 🤩

3. Proceeds from the sale of the bags is being donated to the RSPCA! 🥳 Your contribution means that they can continue to rescue and care for vulnerable animals, then rehome or release them. This helps abandoned or neglected pets get the treatment and love they deserve. It also helps injured or orphaned wildlife in need.🥰

4. Finally, you can look exceptionally stylish whilst rocking your FETCH bag in the sunshine & rain! (Fingers crossed for more sunshine though!) ☀️

Each bag costs £15.00 - and you can comment below, send us a message or ask at reception if you would like to purchase one of these absolutely fabulous bags!

Thank you in advance for your continued support! ❤

The gorgeous Ozzy came in for his neutering today! He has been an absolute angel and put a smile on everyone's face 🥰

He's been cute, sleepy, affectionate, cuddly and very playful - safe to say he's had a wonderful time staying with us for the day... however, we have no doubt he is excited to head home for rest & cuddles! 🐾❤

Good morning everyone!

We’ve had an increasing number of clients giving us last minute notice for appointment cancellations and sometimes failing to show altogether over the last few months.

Of course, we appreciate that the reasons and circumstances surrounding these cancellations/no shows can sometimes be out of our clients control, with other more important matters, understandably, taking priority.

We would just like to put out a friendly reminder that if this is not the case; and you would simply like to change or cancel your appointment, that we request at least 24 hours’ notice – so that we have time to make adjustments to our schedules and can offer your appointment to another patient who may need our care and attention.

Furthermore, if you have any questions or concerns prior to your appointment that might affect your decision to attend, we would be happy to address these concerns either over the phone or via email. Details of which are provided below.

Email: [email protected]

Phone: 01892 882818

We hope you all understand that as a local independent vet, our time is valuable and our focus is always to you and your pets.

All the best,
All the team at Hoppers Vets 🐾❤
