Snow in Ripon
It’s snowing at our Ripon branch today! How do you and your pets spend your snow days? Share your photos in the comments below ☃️
Here we have Lola reporting on the weather today 📃
"It's a windy day out there! I thought I was going to take off for a second ✈️"
We've seen lots of mentions of fences and trees down this morning, so be sure to check garden fences are secure before letting your dogs out today!
So today marks the end of National Walk Your Dog Week 🐕 🚶♀️
And while ensuring your dog has adequate exercise helps boost their mental and physical health, we know it can sometimes test ours 😂
From getting as wet and dirty as they possibly can, to getting stuck in places they're not meant to be!
So here's a reel of our dogs, showcasing their cheeky, wild sides and reminding us that the benefits of keeping your dog happy and healthy outweighs the muddy pawprints and carnage they may cause along the way🤣
We'd love to see photos of your dogs getting up to mischief on their walks!

Grass Seed Removal
During the summer months grass seeds getting stuck in pets is one of the most common problems we see. From toes, to mouths and, like this pup here, ears - seeds like to get everywhere! Signs of grass seeds causing problems includes discomfort, swelling, discharge, head shaking (in the event of it being in the ear), and pain. Removal often requires sedation and depending on the damage caused may require pain relief or antibiotics.

Hedgehog Advice
We have recently seen an increase in the amount of phone calls about Hedgehogs and are always happy to give advice or to see any wildlife you may be worried about.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal and will hunt at night when their prey is most active. You might see one during the day if their nest has been disturbed or if they're struggling to find food, particularly during dry weather, however, seeing a hedgehog during full daylight can be a sign that they are sick or injured. Signs that a hedgehog is unwell include obvious sign of injury (like a cut or broken leg), disinterested in the food, staggering/wobbly/walking around in circles, lethargy, or parasite infection including flies/ticks/maggots/eggs. If the hedgehog doesn't roll up when you approach it, or if it is very small (less than 300g or roughly the size of an apple) it may also need help.
If you are worried about a hedgehog or any other wildlife we are always happy to help, just contact us with any questions!

Please help!
This little cat was brought to us this morning having been found off Harrogate Road. She has a chip but unfortunately it hasn’t been registered. Please share this post, she’s currently in our Cat Ward at Thirsk having plenty of fuss, but we are sure she would rather be back with her family 🥰
