Hamsters love to burrow, hide and explore and should be offered plenty of space to discover. There are hundreds of different hamster enclosures available, many of which consist of winding tubes and tunnels for the hamster to journey through.🐹

What do you have to keep your hamster entertained? We’d love to see in the comments.

The adder is the only venomous snake in the UK, and if you enjoy taking your four-legged friends on outdoor adventures, it’s important to be aware of the possibility of running into them⚠️

Adders become more active as the weather starts to get warmer, so please be careful in the coming months, especially if you’re out for walks on:
👉Woodland edges
👉Moorland
👉Rocky hillsides
👉Sand dunes

If you believe your dog has been bitten by an adder, don’t hesitate to call us!

Have you noticed your pets aren't eating the way they used to?🤔

Loss of appetite in pets can be an abrupt stop, a gradual decrease in food intake or even a growing reluctance to eat certain types of food.

There are numerous reasons as to why your pet would change their food habits, and it can be something simple like nausea from having eaten too much or too fast, but it can also mean a genuine emergency, as is the case with gastric torsion, for example.

Regardless of the cause, it's important to try and find out why your pet is losing their appetite! This is especially true for owners of pets with chronic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease or pancreatic issues, or owners of overweight cats⚠️

Not wanting to eat is often the most obvious sign that something might be wrong, so if you notice any of these changes in your pet, don't hesitate to give us a call!

Preventative medicine is critical to keeping our pets healthy and happy, and one of its most important foundations is vaccination.💉

A puppy’s immune system is still developing and is not capable of adequate protection against infectious agents, which means that they can quickly become ill with severe, life-threatening diseases if they are not vaccinated.

By vaccinating your dog, you’re protecting them from problems that are very hard to treat, such as distemper or parvovirus infection.

If you have any concerns regarding the best vaccinations for your puppy, or are unsure if your pet’s protection is up to date, don’t hesitate to call us!

Attention all dog owners!🐕 The five-second rule is essential during the hot weather👇

Our furry friends have sensitive paw pads that can get burned if the pavement is too hot, so help prevent this problem by:

🐾 Placing your hand on the pavement;
🐾 Leaving it there for approximately five seconds;
♨️ If you can’t keep your hand there for that long, then it's too hot to go out!

And remember, avoid going out on walks with your pets during the hottest hours of the day and always have fresh water available for them.

Bathing, clipping hair and taking care of your pet’s nails can be a complicated thing, especially if they have long fur or aren’t too inclined to cooperate!

Fortunately, you can always take them to a professional that will not only do this for you but will do it in a much less stressful way for your pet.

What do you do with your pets? 👉 Take them in to the groomer or do you do it all yourself?

Outdoor cat patios, also called catios, are all the rage right now! 🐈 While cats can live perfectly happy lives indoors, some of them might enjoy experiencing safe outdoors adventures or the mental stimulation that roaming can give them.

With a properly secured garden or patio, you can let your feline friend out of the house without worrying they will get lost or hurt by traffic. This might take some effort to build, but you get to put in super fun climbing structures while giving your pets the chance to experience the sights and excitement of being outside!

Have you installed a catio? Tell us all about it in the comments below! 👇

Let’s talk about going to the pet dentist! 🦷 How often do you bring your pets for a routine dental exam?

Dental and periodontal disease are extremely common in pets! If left untreated, these can:
🐾 Cause a lot of pain,
🐾 Lead to loss of teeth;
🐾 Cause infections to spread to other organs like the heart.

You can avoid this with a good daily tooth cleaning routine, treats that help with tartar build-up, and regular visits to us for a comprehensive oral exam and deep clean.

Worried about your furry friend’s dental health? Don’t hesitate to give us a call! 📲

If your puppy is from a specific breed, predicting what they will look like as adults is usually simple but for all other owners, this might be a bit of a surprise!

Protective boots, swim vests and warm clothes are some of the items that can make our pets safer and more comfortable during difficult weather.

While sometimes it can be hard to convince them to put (and keep!) them on, the benefits of having protected paws or being able to swim without risk is worth the time spent getting them comfortable with wearing these.

Today, we celebrate Earth Day! 🌍 Since its inception in 1970, this day has become one of the largest civic events in the world, and hundreds of millions of people have been involved in helping preserve our planet.

Studies show that dogs and cats are capable of complex thought and are amazing at learning new things. This can be a problem when you want to talk about sensitive topics (read: having to be washed!) around them!

Camping is an amazing experience, and we think it can only be made better by bringing our adventure-loving dogs along for the ride! However, it does require a bit more preparation and kit to really have a great time out.

So, don’t forget these essential items:

🏕️ Their bed, favourite food, treats, poo bags and wet wipes.

🏕️ A well-stocked first aid kit, your pet’s health info and the phone number and location of the nearest vet.

🏕️ Easy to carry travel bowls, extra blankets and a replacement harness and lead.

Cats 🐱 and water 💦 Not a match made in heaven! But for every rule, there are exceptions. Is your feline friend a water fan? Show us! 👇

07/04/2024

Cats are known for being quite discerning in their tastes, especially when it comes to what and where they are eating.

Sometimes you might find yourself with a feline friend that is complaining about their meals, so one of the things you can do is try to change the type of bowl they have or perhaps move it to a place they like more.
