Did you know? Antifreeze is toxic to cats.

The smell and taste of antifreeze is very appealing to our feline friends, and they are likely to lap it up if they come across a spillage.

So, as the weather starts to chill off, please be careful when topping up your cars with
antifreeze and clear up any spillages made.

For cat owners, check out the symptoms of antifreeze poisoning to be aware of below

Indoor or Outdoor?

We all want our cats to experience freedom, exercise and the right to express their natural behaviours.

On the other hand, dangers like road traffic accidents can have us questioning our decision.

Deciding if, when and how to give your cat outdoor access involves weighing up their potential safety, happiness and health.

Here we’ve examined some of the benefits, dangers, and the alternatives - helping you to make an informed choice that works for your pet and your household.

🦠 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18th-24th 🦠
When pets have diarrhoea, it’s easy to assume antibiotics are needed - but in most cases, it’s not caused by a bacterial infection.

Diet changes, stress, parasites, or underlying health conditions are often to blame.

Using antibiotics unnecessarily can disrupt your pet’s natural gut bacteria, which play a vital role in digestion and immunity.

It can also contribute to antimicrobial resistance, making future infections harder to treat.

✅ Seek your vet’s advice on the best course of action

🦠 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18th-24th🦠

When it comes to treating infections, choosing the right antibiotic is essential. We want to make sure we’re using the right one - not just guessing.
That’s where cytology and culture & sensitivity testing come in.

🔬 Cytology
We examine a sample under the microscope to identify the type of bacteria present. This helps us choose an antibiotic with the best chance of working quickly and effectively.

🧪 Culture & Sensitivity
The lab grows the bacteria from a sample, identifies the exact strain, and tests which antibiotics will kill it. This ensures we use the most effective treatment, reducing the risk of resistance and protecting your pet’s health.

If your vet recommends testing, it’s all about giving your pet the best and most
targeted care, while protecting the future of antibiotics.

🦠 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18th-24th🦠

Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) is a common condition in cats.
Many people are surprised to learn that it’s usually not caused by a bacterial infection.
Instead, stress is often the main trigger.

That means antibiotics aren’t always the right treatment - and using them unnecessarily can contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

🦠World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18th-24th 🦠
Antibiotics are powerful tools - but when used incorrectly, bacteria can become resistant, meaning infections become more challenging to treat.

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are an increasing problem worldwide, affecting both human and animal health.

Stay tuned for our upcoming posts -Throughout this week, we’ll share some important insights into antimicrobial resistance; what it is, why it matters, and how we can all help to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics. 💊

This gorgeous girl is Eliza, who recently visited the practice to receive her 2nd vaccination with a nurse!

Vaccinations help protect our pets from many diseases, including Leptosporosis (4 strains), Distemper, Hepatitis, and Parvovirus.

*Vaccination timelines do vary depending on previous history and age*

For a short time, puppies and kittens have maternal immunity provided by their mothers; however, this begins to decrease from 8-14 weeks, and vaccinating during this time helps them build up their own immunity.

Once the primary course of vaccinations has been completed, they only need a booster vaccination once a year.

Get in touch with one of our branches to book your pet information their vaccinations!

Today is World Diabetes Day. Just like us, our furry friends can develop diabetes - and the sooner it’s spotted, the better it can be managed.

Common signs of diabetes in pets include:
💧 Increased thirst
💛 Increased urination
⚖️ Weight loss
🐾 Appetite changes

If you’ve noticed any of these changes in your pet, it’s always worth getting them checked for peace of mind.

🐾 Why Neutering Your Cat Is So Important 🐾

It’s a big day for Bosco and Bruno! 💙 On Monday, they came into West Vake Branch for their castrations (neutering) — one of the most common and beneficial procedures we perform for cats.
Here’s why it’s such a positive step:

-Neutering reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections.

-It helps reduce spraying, roaming, and fighting — meaning fewer cat clashes and less stress at home!

-One unneutered male can father hundreds of kittens in his lifetime. Neutering helps control the stray cat population and keeps more cats safe and cared for.

Bosco and Bruno's surgery was quick and smooth — they are now resting comfortably at home with their humans.
Most cats bounce back very quickly after the procedure! 🐈‍⬛

If your male cat hasn’t been neutered yet, talk to us about the best time to schedule it.💙
📞 Call us to book your cat’s appointment today!
