They go above and beyond every single day in front of, as well as behind the scenes, and our practice wouldn't be what it is without them.

An extra day to show how much we ❤️ our pets? RESULT! 🙌
A cheeky pet treat? a new toy? extra strokes? How are you making us of our bonus day this year?
Its that time. Post some pics of your lovely pets for a chance to be on our cover photo for March!!
Spay? Neuter? Fixing? Being done?
Whatever you call it, it is the most responsible thing you can do for your cat. Here’s why ⏬
😺 Helps protect your cat against diseases and some cancers
😺 Protects female cats against risks that come with pregnancy
😺 Reduces the chances of male cats ‘spraying’, as this is something unneutered cats do to mark their scent to attract potential suitors.
If you have any questions about this for your cat, please give us a call or ask us the next time you are in.
10th June 2024 is the deadline ⌛👀
Microchipping gives you the best chance of a lost/stolen pet being identified and returned to you.
Get in touch today and get your cat booked in, it takes 5 minutes and costs £27.52 … which is cheaper than a £500 fine!
So many ways to show love, how do you show it?

3 signs your rabbit loves you 🐰
As a prey species, it can be difficult to spot signs of affection that your rabbit gives you. Here’s what to look out for ⏬
💗 Binkying: This is where your rabbit will suddenly run, leap, and twist in the air! Sit back and enjoy the show.
💗 If your rabbit just flops out, fully stretched out, this means they’re super relaxed and feel unthreatened around you.
💗 A little headbutt, rub or nudge against you is them looking for some loving attention.
Bonus points if you can share some of the above signs of love with us in the comments!
How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬
💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you!
💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most.
💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it.
These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞
They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬
💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat!
💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets
💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals.
💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love!
Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽

Regular check-ups can help catch signs of Cancer early on.
Cancer can occur in any part or system of your pet’s body, so spotting symptoms can be difficult. This is why we always recommend regular check ups at the vet.
Catching issues early means improving your pet’s quality of life and potentially helping with costs.
We always say that preventative care is better than a cure. So, for World Cancer Day we want to raise awareness of regular vet checks.

Walking an elderly arthritic dog? Here are some top tips: Your dog doesn’t link hours of zoomies to pain later on, and it is up to us, the owners, to help them out. Keeping moving at constant regular intervals is essential to keeping stiffness down and getting the blood flowing. However, every dog is unique, so a tailored exercise plan is a great way to ensure your dog gets the correct amount of exercise without causing discomfort. Check out CAM, who have helpful advice on setting up an exercise plan: bit.ly/3kD8dxB

Christmas Dangers 6: Dried Fruits Grapes and their dried varieties are common at Christmas but toxic to pets. The dried varieties of these fruits are often found in mince pies, Christmas pudding, stollen and fruit and nut mix, so keep all these treats out of reach! If your pets does accidentally eat something containing these foods, give us a call as soon as possible for advice. #ChristmasDangers
Christmas Dangers 5:
Chocolate
Human chocolate for humans. Dog treats for dogs.
We always get asked is
Christmas Dangers 4: Christmas Food Which Christmas foods are a ❌ for your pet? ⏬ 🎄Turkey bones can potentially cause blockages and damage to your pet’s digestive tract – be sure to pop the bins off the counter and into a secure bin, 🎄High fat foods such as pigs in blankets can sometimes trigger pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) 🎄Onions (as part of the allium family of plants) are toxic to cats and dogs – plenty of onions in stuffing and gravy, so keep your eyes peeled. 🎄Snacking on macademia nuts in the afternoon? Make sure your bowl is out of paws reach. 🎄Alcohol is also toxic, so spills and left-over drinks should be cleaned away and safely disposed of. If in doubt, the safest option is to feed pet safe treats instead!
Christmas Dangers 3: Guests at Christmas Keep your pets safe around festive guests If you are entertaining guests this Christmas, there are likely to be more people going in and out of your home. Take care to ensure your guests know how to interact with your pets and that pets have somewhere quiet to go if they need time alone. Having pets microchipped brings peace of mind that they can be traced back to you if they are accidentally let out or escape.
Christmas Dangers 2: Christmas Decorations Supervise pets around Christmas decorations Although Christmas decorations help to set the scene, certain decorations may pose a risk to our pets. For example, stringy decorations such as tinsel and decorative string can cause digestive blockages if eaten and glass baubles may cut paws if smashed. Christmas trees may resemble an exciting climbing frame to adventurous cats, so consider tethering them! Keep inquisitive pets safe by supervising them and keeping them away from potential dangers.
Christmas Dangers 1: Christmas Plants Christmas plants CAN be a #ChristmasDanger 👎📉 Did you know that certain Christmas plants can make your pets unwell if eaten? Keep poinsettia, ivy, holly, lilies and mistletoe out of reach to avoid stomach upsets. Also discourage pets from chewing on the Christmas tree as this too can cause digestive issues and sharp pine needles may cause irritation and damage. If your pet eats something they shouldn’t, or develops vomiting, diarrhoea or becomes unwell, please contact us for further support.
