Is there anything better than a mid week cute cat video to keep us all going until the weekend!? 😻
Ned doesn’t think so… also I think he may be about to get treats in return for posing for us! 🐾❤️
Regular check-ups and screenings help keep their hearts strong and happy.
This World Heart Day, show your pet some love by prioritizing their heart health.

#BlindDogDay serves two purposes 🐶
1️⃣ A day to celebrate all blind dogs in the world and ways we can support them – as all dogs are good dogs.
2️⃣ Highlight that whether partially or fully blind, they can lead a fulfilling life with a great quality of life!
Owners support blind dogs by creating a safe space, not rearranging home furniture, and training methods such as using audio cues to help make navigation easier and giving them sound-based toys to make play easier for them.
This is only a slice of ways we can support blind dogs.
And the beautiful Loki is demonstrating both purposes perfectly 🥰
☀️ Just like us, cats need to stay hydrated during the summer months!
Ensure your feline friend has access to clean, fresh water at all times. You can also try offering wet food or adding water to dry kibble to increase their water intake.
Let's keep our cool cats hydrated and healthy this summer! 🐱
☀️ Summer days are here, and it's important to keep our furry friends hydrated!
Whether it's a trip to the park or a garden play session, make sure your pup has access to plenty of fresh water to beat the heat.
Remember, a hydrated dog is a happy dog! 🐶
‼️ ADDER BITES:
Here ’s what to do!
Keep your dog close to you or on a lead around areas known for Adder populations
– this will stop them from bothering the snakes and the likelihood of the snakes striking.
If an Adder has bitten your pet, call your vet immediately, and if possible, carry your pet to stop the venom from spreading.
Even if you have been on a walk and haven't seen your pet get bitten but are acting out of character or notice any swellings, call your vet to be safe.
As we go through these warmer months, we will likely see more Adders basking in the sun, where they are likely to be bothered by your pets! 🐍
See our senior wellness checks as an MOT on your classic car… but the car is furry. 🤔

Making biscuits! 😍
Kittens knead their mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow.
If your cat kneads your lap during cuddles, it may indicate their connection from the secure bond with their mother to the bond they share with you.
And the more they knead, the more they love you! 💗

Which Christmas foods are a ❌ for your pet? ⏬
🎄Turkey bones can potentially cause blockages and damage to
your pet’s digestive tract – be sure to pop the bins off the counter
and into a secure bin.
🎄High fat foods such as pigs in blankets can sometimes trigger
pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
🎄Onions (as part of the allium family of plants) are toxic to cats
and dogs – plenty of onions in stuffing and gravy, so keep your
eyes peeled.
🎄Snacking on macademia nuts in the afternoon? Make sure your
bowl is out of paws reach.
🎄Alcohol is also toxic, so spills and left-over drinks should be
cleaned away and safely disposed of.
If in doubt, the safest option is to feed pet safe treats instead!
Human chocolate for humans. Dog treats for dogs.
We always get asked is of chocolate okay for our dog? The answer? Zero chocolate is the right amount for a dog.
Chocolate contains theobromine (a compound poisonous to dogs). How dangerous chocolate is depends on the type and amount eaten and the size and health of your dog.
Chocolate coins, chocolate tree decorations, your favourite festive tin are all bad for your dog.
If your dog has eaten chocolate, the best course of action is to contact us as soon as possible for advice.
