With the cost of living increasing, you may be starting to feel the impact on your monthly budget and looking for ways to reduce outgoings.
Our animal companions are part of the family and provide immeasurable support during hard times, but looking after their needs also contributes to monthly bills.
You may ask yourself if you can afford pet insurance, but when times are tough having the right pet insurance may actually help you manage costs more effectively!

Hearing dog Albert has been on an adventure with his deaf partner Sarah, as they visited York city centre. Albert took in all the sights, including the spectacular York Minster, and did so well in a busy environment with lots of people.

Not only that, but Albert also travelled on two forms of public transport and proved to be the perfect passenger on both a train and a river cruise.
Amazing job as always, Albert!🐾

This is particularly important when antibiotics are being used. We should always give antibiotics for the shortest length of time required to achieve a cure, however if a longer course is required this should be continuous for them to be effective and create the least antimicrobial resistance. Finishing a short course of antibiotics, seeing that symptoms recur, then restarting treatment is much less effective. This will usually require a longer total course of treatment (as bacteria will have multiplied again while treatment was not being given) and prove more expensive.

Sometimes a condition has improved but not resolved at the time of a recheck. Your vet will know what degree of improvement is expected in a particular timeframe and be able to decide whether your pet simply needs more time, or whether treatment plans need changing. If required, medication doses may be changed or additional medications can be prescribed. The earlier it is identified that a first-line treatment is insufficient for an individual case, the sooner we can intervene to achieve a cure in a timely and economic fashion.

Meet Karen, one of Hearing Dogs’ amazing volunteer dog trainers.
We asked Karen about why she volunteers: “My lovely mum has been deaf since childhood and has had multiple operations on her ears over the years and now has a BAHA hearing aid. When she removes this at night, she hears nothing.”
“She doesn't have a hearing dog herself but it's because of her I got involved with this amazing charity and became a volunteer. I've witnessed her struggles and the lack of understanding from people about her deafness and I wanted to do something to help improve a deaf person's life.”
Karen has been volunteering for ten years and it’s been Poodles all the way. Before current trainee Merlin, there were Jessie, Peach, Sonny, and Ziggy. Ahead of Merlin's final assessment, Karen has said: “I absolutely adore him and will miss Merlin so much as he makes me laugh everyday. But I feel so excited that someone out there is going to be told about him very soon. Whoever gets him will have an extremely loyal friend who will look after and adore them.”

Blue Monday typically falls on the third Monday of January and is often
considered the “saddest day of the year”.
Fortunately, we all know that our pets are great at cheering us up, and here’s how they can help raise your spirits this January:-
Studies show that interacting with pets—like stroking their fur or playing—
releases oxytocin (the "feel-good" hormone) and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).
Walking a dog or playing with a cat keeps you active, which boosts endorphins and helps combat sadness or depression.
Pets are very intuitive, meaning they can sense when you are feeling down. Their comforting presence alone can be enough to soothe any feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness.

While it's a frequent issue, bad breath in pets should not be considered normal. Often, it's a sign of underlying health problems that need attention. If you're used to your pet cuddling close to your face, you'll likely notice quickly if their breath becomes unpleasant!

Having your teeth brushed is a strange experience, and many pets will panic if it is
not introduced slowly and gently. It may take a month or two to reach a point of “proper brushing” – this is normal and nothing to worry about.

Oral health is a crucial, but often over looked aspect of your pet's overall well-being. Just like humans, pets can experience a range of dental problems, which, if left untreated, can lead to more serious health complications.

The most common reason for a re-examination is to determine whether your
pet is actually better. Some problems have an expected course of disease, such
as kennel cough, so we may only request a recheck if your pet isn’t better in the usual timeframe.

For other conditions, it can be difficult to tell if they are better or not at home,
for example an eye ulcer that needs special stain applying, an ear infection that
requires examination with an otoscope or cytology performing, or a urinary tract
infection that needs urine testing to check for blood or bacteria.

If we don’t identify that the condition is not resolved, the consequences can
include ongoing pain or discomfort for your pet, increased cost overall, and
sometimes even permanent damage to the affected body parts.

The pet insurance market can be very overwhelming but it can be made easier by deciding the type of policy that would suit you best to narrow your search.
Depending on the age of your pet and level of cover you would like to protect them with, you can then start considering the different polices for that type of insurance.
Remember not all pet insurance is the same so it is a good idea to check the cover provided and ask if you will be paying more for claiming.

While reduced calorie intake is the most important part of weight loss, increasing energy expenditure through exercise and play can also have an impact.
Exercise also helps prevent muscle loss and increase flexibility, supporting healthy aging.

Salt and grit used for de-icing roads can pose risks to a dog’s paws. It can irritate their paw pads, causing redness, cracking or peeling.
In an attempt to remove the salt, dogs may lick their paws, but this can lead to them
ingesting chemicals that can upset their stomachs or cause more severe issues. Grit
found on the roads sometimes causes micro-cuts and abrasions on paw pads, increasing the chance of infection. Prevention and Care:
Use dog boots to shield paws from salt and grit. Apply a paw wax or balm before walks to create a protective barrier.
Rinse and wipe your dog’s paws with warm water and a soft cloth after walks.
Check paws regularly for cuts or signs of irritation. Trim fur between paw pads to prevent ice and grit accumulation.
First Aid for Irritated Paws:
Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Apply a soothing paw balm or petroleum jelly.

If irritation persists or there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, limping), please call us to book an appointment
