Meet Poppy - just 9 weeks old but already one of our bravest little visitors! 🐶💪

This sweet girl came to our Sandal Practice for her very first vaccination with our vet, Kamila. She was such a good girl 💖, sitting patiently while we weighed her to make sure she got the perfect dose of flea treatment 🩺🐛.

While waiting in reception, Poppy charmed everyone with her adorable puppy eyes, 🥺 soaking up all the attention, cuddles, and fuss from our team. 🥰 We’re so thrilled to be part of her journey and can’t wait to watch her grow! 🌱🐾

Welcome to the Calder family, Poppy! 🎉

When was the last time you verified that your pet's microchip details were up to date?

Ensuring that your pet's microchip information is up to date is vital for their safety and provides you with peace of mind for you as a responsible owner.

Here's why you should ensure they are up to date:

📝 In the unfortunate event that your pet goes missing, having accurate microchip information significantly increases the likelihood of you and your pet being reunited.

⏰ It is important to update your pet's microchip information whenever there is a change in your address, phone number, or any relevant contact details.

📞 As a responsible pet owner, it's important to remember that you play a crucial role in ensuring your pet's microchip information is up to date. You can contact your microchip provider directly, and the process is quick and straightforward.

Please remember: A microchip is effective only if the information associated with it is accurate.

Check your pet's microchip details are up to date today! 🐶🐱

🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now."

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊

You can make a difference...
👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications.
👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal.

Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet.

Let's – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts.

🐶 This is Mabel, who visited our Mirfield practice recently after her owner noticed she was feeling a little under the weather. After further investigation, we found Mabel had a solid mass in her bladder.

Our Mirfield team discussed all options and outcomes in depth with Mabel's owner and decided the best course of action would be to perform a Cystotomy.

This fantastic team successfully removed the mass and are pleased to say Mabel is feeling much brighter now. 💖

🐾 Puppy Alert! 🐾

We had a 'paw-some' day at our Sandal practice recently with these adorable Labrador puppies who came in for their very first vaccinations and microchipping! 🐶💉

Their tails were wagging, and they were as cute as can be - though they might have been more interested in making friends than getting their jabs and microchip! 😄💕

Here’s to keeping them happy, healthy, and ready for all their adventures ahead!

He currently visits us for weekly laser sessions, to help with reducing pain and inflammation in his sore areas ⚡️.

November is Pet Diabetes Month, and today is World Diabetes Day! 🐾💙

Did you know there are several signs of diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats? Look out for these symptoms:

🐶 Excessive thirst
🐱 Increased urination
🐶 Inappropriate urination
🐱 Weight loss
🐶 Increased appetite
🐱 Cataracts
🐶 Weakness
🐱 Lethargy
🐶 Poor skin condition

Pet obesity is a rising concern in the UK, and it often goes hand-in-hand with diabetes. Our team offers glucose testing through blood or urine samples to detect diabetes early. Additionally, our tests can check for elevated liver enzymes and electrolyte imbalances—both of which can be indicators of diabetes.

Do you have a pet with diabetes? Share your experiences in the comments below; we'd love to hear from you.

🦷 When was the last time you checked your pet's teeth?

Did you know that your pet's dental health is just as crucial as your own? Dental disease is a common issue for both dogs and cats, and it can impact their overall health more than you might think.

Here are some key signs to watch for:
👃 Bad breath (that "doggy breath" isn't normal!)
🔴 Red or bleeding gums
🍽 Difficulty eating or chewing
💦 Excessive drooling
🦷 Loose or missing teeth
🟤 Teeth covered in tartar

If you spot any of these signs, it might be time for a dental check-up! A healthy mouth means a healthier, happier pet. 🐶🐱💖

Addressing any health concerns early, like Milo's irritated ears, ensures they stay happy and healthy. If you notice any signs of discomfort in your pet, don’t hesitate to reach out to your local practice. 🏥
