ORAL HEALTH; NOT JUST FOR HUMANS 🦷
Keeping your dog's teeth clean is very important, not doing so can cause plaque build up and dental problems. A simple way to help with our pets oral health is by brushing their teeth daily. Here are a few tips to help you ⬇️

➡️ Start teeth cleaning when they're a puppy and brush their teeth everyday to get them used to it. If you haven't done this before, gradually introduce it by having your finger near their mouth. Keep doing this and then slowly introduce brushing until this is natural.
➡️ Buy a dog toothpaste - human ones aren't suitable. You can use a special dog toothbrush that goes over your finger to brush their teeth, but if you don't have one then a child-sized toothbrush is fine.

Lets talk allergies.....

Around 10% to 15% of dogs are believed to suffer from some form of allergy, although this figure may vary depending on age, breed, and location. Food allergies account for around 10% of allergies in dogs, flea bite allergies for about 40%, and atopic dermatitis (environmental allergies) for the remaining 50%.

Common symptoms of an allergy include redness and itching of the skin, digestive issues, respiritory problems such as wheezing and sneezing, eye irritation and recurrent ear infections.

Certain parasites may pose more or less of a risk to different individual animals, so it is always important to discuss this with a vet so they can suggest a tailored parasite prevention plan.

❗ Stay free from fleas: Fleas are one of the most irritating and itchy parasites for your pet. Infestations can take a long time to clear due to flea eggs being able to survive for months in the environment.
❗ Mind the mites: Mites can infest the skin and ears of dogs, cats, rabbits and other rodents. Infestations can cause hair loss, scratching, and red, dry scurfy skin.
❗ Get worm wise: Roundworms, tapeworm and lungworms are the common parasites that affect our pets. Ensuring they are up to date with their worming treatment will help avoid any unpleasant illnesses and health issues.
❗ Tackle ticks: Becoming more common in the UK, ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, this can not only affect our pets - but humans too. Always be sure to remove ticks correctly to reduce the risk of leaving the head left behind in your pets skin.

🦷 Tooth and Gum Disease 🦷

Does your dog have smelly breath? As dogs age, these problems get worse, which is why we encourage all owners to brush their dogs teeth. A scale and polish will dramatically improve the smell as it will get rid of the plaque and tartar that are causing problems. If the breath is very bad, then there may be tooth decay and a lot of infection present. In this case, extractions may be needed to improve the smell and your dog’s health.

We have sadly had a deceased cat handed in to the practice. He is an entire, ginger male and is not microchipped. He was found around the Hunmanby Gap area.

Hello March!

NEW STOCK ALERT 🐱

As all cat owners know, our feline friends enjoy roaming and quite often find themselves visiting other gardens and houses.
Many people who have regular feline visitors believe they are doing right by leaving out food or giving treats, but this can contribute to cats not returning home. It is also common for cats to have allergies and be on a specific diet.

With this in mind, we are pleased to now stock quick release cat collars in a range of stylish colours.

Happy Valentines Day ❤️

Healthy eyes should be clear, bright and free from dirt, discharge and inflammation.
Eye problems are often painful and, if left untreated, may result in sight loss. That’s why understanding the symptoms and getting a vet appointment early is essential. If you notice any changes in your pet’s eyes or if one eye suddenly looks different from the other then this could indicate a problem.
