What to do if your cat is stung by a bee...🐝

If your cat’s curiosity leads to a bee sting, don’t panic. Most stings are mild, but some need a vet’s help - especially around the face or if they’ve had a reaction before.

Keep calm, apply a cold compress, and know when to call us.

Toxin Thursdays!

Blue-green algae produces toxins that can be deadly to dogs. It can be found in some streams, lakes and estuaries, especially in late summer after hot sunny periods.

Blue-green algae is a collective term for several types of bacteria that live in water.

Do not let your dog drink or swim in water known to be contaminated with blue-green algae as they can become ill very quickly and it can kill rapidly

Symptoms usually appear within an hour, but can be delayed by a few days. These can range from hypersalivation, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, convulsions, breathing difficulty and organ failure.

Majority of cases are life threatening and it can be fatal.

It is essential you contact a vet ASAP if you believe your pet has been in contact with blue-green algae!

Heatstroke on walks❗️❗️

It’s a common misconception that hot cars are the main danger causing pets to
overheat in summer. In reality, over-exertion during walks is the leading cause of
heatstroke in dogs, making up an astonishing 74% of cases.

This risk is greater for dogs that are:
Brachycephalic (flat faced)
Overweight
Elderly
Have underlying heart or respiratory conditions..and also young, active dogs whose excitement and activity level can overcome
their ability to keep themselves cool ☀️🐕

Familiarise yourself with the signs of heatstroke - and what to do in an
emergency - here: www.vetcollection.co.uk/health/

URGENT 🚨 | Public urged to walk dogs early in the day before pavements get too hot with temperatures set to reach 32c in Hereford today. 🐶

Keep an eye out for grass seeds this summer!

Grass seeds can cause a lot of pain for dogs — especially if they get stuck in paws, ears, or eyes after a run through long grass.

Look out for signs like:
- Constant licking or limping
- Shaking their head or rubbing their ear
- Sneezing fits or sore, swollen eyes

Left untreated, a grass seed can even work its way under the skin. This can require surgery for removal.

With Pet Health Club, you get unlimited vet consults* - so if you’re worried, just pop in. We’re here to help you help your dog. Find out more: bit.ly/JoinPetHealthClub
