Brucella Canis

The UK was previously considered to be free of B.Canis but a recent increase in cases in the UK has been linked to imported dogs.

Brucella Canis (B.Canis) is a zoonotic disease which means that it can be transferred from infected dogs to humans.

Both dogs and humans can be infected but appear well and without clinical symptoms.

If you are considering adopting a dog from abroad we advise that you insist the dog is tested for B.Canis before being imported to the UK and that the negative test certificate is provided to you as the new owner of the pet.

As a veterinary practice we are responsible for ensuring the safety of our teams, and the other pets that we might be treating.

When treating an imported dog we will request proof of negative brucella test and will require them to be tested at 3 months. We ask that dogs are re-tested as the infection can lay dormant and undetected for a period of time.

Ted decided not to wait until Christmas to open his gift! 🎁His lovely mum noticed that the ribbon was missing and immediately called us.

If a cat eats ribbon, it's a medical emergency because the ribbon can get stuck, causing intestines to bunch up, tear, and leak contents, leading to fatal peritonitis. Our vet Mariella discussed the case with Ted's mum and they decided to induce emesis (make vomit), although this does not always work with cats.

Ted was a fantastic patient and happily regurgitated the ribbon 🤮🤮saving him from emergency surgery. Ted's mum was delighted he was okay and glad that his scheming to ruin Christmas was thwarted! 🎁

Ted looked very regretful when we recovered the ribbon bless him. His mum shared a photo of him now he is home and fully recovered. Isn't he handsome?😍

Please do keep all the tinsel, ribbons and string away from your cats reach, whilst they love playing with them it can be very dangerous for them to ingest and should they find some and eat it please call us immediately for advice.

Its taken many months to get Nola to this point, but success does not happen over night.

She still loves coming to hydro to maintain her strength and fitness.

If you would like to discuss Physio or hydrotherapy call our reception team and we will book you an appointment with Hannah.

Buying Rawhide for your dogs Christmas present? 🦴🎄🎁

Raw Hide is made from the inner layer of animal hide, primarily from cows, usually a byproduct of the leather industry.

During the manufacturing process the hides are washed and treated with various chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, bleach or sodium sulfide to preserve, remove fat and hair and whiten the product.

After processing the raw hide is shaped into bones, balls, strips or other shapes sometimes using glue to bind them!!!!

Raw hides have a number of risks the main ones being choking and blockages. This is due to large pieces breaking off and obstructing the throat or digestive tract and can result in your pet having major surgery.

Digestive issues are a common occurrence leading to stomach discomfort due to the complexity of digesting such treats. In addition, chemicals used in the manufacturing process can pose a number of different health risks to your pet.

We strongly advise that if you are considering buying treats for your pets for Christmas that you reconsider. There are many healthy safe alternatives and we are always happy to advise if you are worried. 🐶

Have a fun and safe Christmas with your pets ☃

We are so proud of our deputy client care lead Emma who has worked tirelessly to get our tree ready for the Christmas tree festival at St Georges Church in Badshot Lea.

The parish of Badshot Lea and Hale are doing a three day event where local businesses and organisations have come together to create a magical Christmas forest within the church.

There are 40+ beautifully decorated trees, promoting our wonderful community and bringing us all together. Emma has designed and dressed the tree with lots of free snack packs for all of your pets ready for their Christmas stockings. 🎁

The festival begins today, Friday 5th December, come and join us in the café and buy your raffle tickets for the prize draw. You can also vote for your favourite tree by making a small donation to the charity it is supporting.

On Saturday December 6th Father Christmas will be at the festival and has invited all of the children to bring with them their letters. He will be arriving in style at 10:30 so don't miss out!!! 🎅🏽🎅🏽

Santa's Elves will be helping in the café with the raffle tickets and making sure that everyone stays on the nice list!! Father Christmas can only stay for an hour as he is so busy at this time of year, so make sure that you all arrive before 10:30 to spend as much time as possible with him.

The festival will be open until after the Carol Service on Sunday 7th December where the winning tree will be announced alongside the raffle winners.

We are so excited to be part of the festival and hope that you have an amazing time meeting Santa and seeing all of the beautiful trees.

Huge shout out to Emma, what an amazing idea and we are so proud to be part of the festival and absolutely love the tree that you designed. 🎄😍
