🐾 Meet Batman – our tiniest little superhero! 🦇

This adorable 4 week old kitten came in last week for a health check with our Veterinary Surgeon, Eoin. Despite being orphaned and hand-reared, Batman is thriving 💪💙

His devoted human carers wanted to make sure he’s growing well, and Eoin was happy to report that he’s doing brilliantly. Of course, we couldn’t resist sneaking in a cuddle with one of our smallest (and cutest!) patients. 🐱💕

People dressed in costumes and unexpected knocks at the door can be confusing and scary for many dogs. Here are our Halloween top tips:

🎃 Be careful when opening the door so your dog doesn’t accidentally
escape

👻 If your dog is really worried, consider a sign saying ‘nervous dog, please do not knock’. You could still leave treats out for children to help themselves

🍬 Keep human sweets and chocolate safely out of your dog’s reach

🧛 Keep dressing up for humans only. Costumes can feel restrictive and prevent your pet from communicating their discomfort
