🐱Cat flu is widespread, debilitating & highly contagious.⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated cats due to the virus being spread by direct or indirect contact with infected cats, which means your cat can catch it from an area an infected cat has explored.

The best way to protect your pet is by vaccinating them every year. This not only protects them, but also decreases the spread of disease. Check with your vet today if your cat’s vaccinations are up to date.

Some of you may remember Bruce Sutherland, the retired vet and former partner at Highcliff when it was known as Lemon and Sutherland.

Today, we welcomed Hugo, Bruce’s dog, and his Granddaughter for a wellness check on Hugo. Bruce sadly passed away 10 years ago, but thanks to his family’s support, he was able to have Hugo in his later years. Now, his granddaughter lovingly cares for Hugo.

Hugo enjoyed plenty of attention from our nurses today — here he is having his blood pressure checked!

Hugo you are a star ⭐️

Wellness screening is for well dogs over 5 years, giant breed dogs over 3 years cats over 7 years.
This includes a physical examination, blood pressure check, a urine test and a blood test all for £85 and if a pet health club member £63.75
