Is your dog drinking and weeing more than usual? 🤔

There are common reasons why this may be happening including:

- A urine infection
- Diabetes
- Cushing’s Disease
- An infected womb (pyometra)
- Kidney disease

If you're worried about your dog, it's important to take them to see the vet. If possible, take a fresh urine sample to your appointment so they can get the help they need ❤️

Diabetes causes levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood to be persistently high. In most cases of canine diabetes, the pancreas stops producing insulin, meaning the body can’t regulate glucose levels. 🐶🐾

Adders are warming up... 🐍 🌞

As the weather heats up, it’s crucial for all dog owners to be mindful of adders, the UK’s only native poisonous snake. Adders emerge from hibernation in spring and pose a risk to dogs during the warmer summer months. These snakes generally only bite in self-defence, such as when accidentally stepped on or approached by a curious dog.

Adder bites can be serious, causing symptoms like lameness, vomiting, and changes in heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing. They are commonly found in dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands, and woodland edges.

If your dog is bitten, look for a dark-coloured swelling that can worsen rapidly. Immediate veterinary attention is crucial. Reach out to your nearest vet without delay, they will refer your pet to us if they need extra support...

Let’s keep our pets safe this summer!

Both indoor and outdoor rabbits require vaccinations to keep them safe from infectious disease. Young rabbits are particularly vulnerable to serious illnesses, so it’s important to get them vaccinated early. 🐰🐾
Rabbits can be vaccinated from five weeks old and will need yearly booster vaccinations throughout their life to maintain immunity.

🥰 Mowgli after a feline friend to call his own 🥰

One of the sweetest boys you'll meet, Mowgli has shown interest in other kitties and would love to be homed with another cat to spend his days hanging out with. 🐈

As Mowgli is a little noise sensitive (he can be easily spooked) he would be after a calm household, with older children (12 years+) that would be gentle around him. ❤️

Since you cannot check your rabbit’s teeth at home, it is important to look out for signs of dental disease.
There are many things that you can look out for that might indicate that your rabbit has some sort of dental health issue.
If you notice any of these signs, it is important that you bring your rabbit to your vet for an oral assessment as soon as possible.
Stopping eating altogether is an emergency.
