Owners know their pets best, so when you spot a significant change on your pet’s sleeping, eating or moving patterns, don’t chalk it up to something unimportant.

While it might be the case it’s not a big deal, it’s important to always investigate the cause! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. 📲

Mental health is not just for people! 🧠 Our pets can also feel anxiety and stress in such a way that can have an important impact on their quality of life.

Here are some of the situations that might be hard for your pets:
🐾 Not having a place to go to and rest from having to interact with children, other pets or strangers whenever they want to;
🐾 Too few opportunities to play, go for walks or spend quality time together with you;
🐾 Routines that are consistently disrupted, such as changes in feeding time or when people are likely to be home.

If you’re worried about your pets’ stress levels, we can help! We can help you figure out the best way to help them feel better, so don’t hesitate to talk to us. 📲

Ear cropping of dogs is illegal in the UK! 🐶 A recent survey from the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home charity has revealed that a large percentage of people did not know that ear cropping was illegal.

Even though social media might show plenty of dogs with cropped ears, this is not acceptable, and we urge our community to share this information!

Pet owners know that the finest watch cannot compare to a furry friend that wants food in the morning! Not only will they be up at 6am on the dot, they also won’t take no for an answer. 🕖

Exercise and play are essential for pets 🥎 🐾, not only because they are great for their physical health but also because they introduce enrichment and mental stimulation into your pet’s days!

Make sure you dedicate quality time daily to playing or exercising with your pets and ensure they have toys and other things to entertain them when you are not around.

Do your furry friends have a special toy or place they enjoy going to? Let us know!

We know that every snapshot of our furry friends deserves at least three Oscars and a Pulitzer. And that’s just for starters! (The rest of the awards can come later 🏆)

However, some of them are really outstanding and go into that special gallery of spectacular pet photos.

Give us those pics you think are definitely award-winning material 🤳 👇

Allergies, especially during spring, are an annoyance that many people go through every year. 🤧 This season can also bring allergic problems to our pets, due to increased particles floating around and a boom of insects like fleas that might trigger severe reactions.

It can be especially difficult to deal with allergies if your pet has just started having symptoms like itchiness, red skin or hair loss, and you don’t know why. Investigating and treating problems like atopic dermatitis, especially when the allergens that trigger it are seasonal, can be challenging, but we are confident we can provide them with the relief they need.

If you suspect that your pet might be suffering from allergies, or you notice a significant increase in itching, don’t hesitate to call us!

Owning a pet can be challenging at times, but it is also very rewarding. 🥰 They greet us joyfully when we get home, keep us company, and we can't help but smile with their crazy antics.

April is National Pet Month, and we want to celebrate all the good things pets bring into our lives. ♥ Tell us: how have your pets made your life better? 👇

Older pets are amazing company! There are many advantages to adopting an older dog 🐶 or cat 🐈 such as:
🐾 What you see is what you get, so no surprise growth spurts or significant body changes:
🐾 They are house-trained, usually love taking it easy, and their personality is already fully developed;
🐾 As they are less likely to be adopted, you’d be helping a pet in need and getting a fantastic buddy!

Rabbits 🐇, just like cats and dogs, can suffer from severe, often deadly, infectious diseases that can be prevented with vaccines.

Myxomatosis and Rabbit Haemorrhagic disease are two serious problems that are much harder to treat than they are to prevent. Keep your bunnies safe and in excellent health by ensuring they have their vaccines up to date!

04/04/2024

X-ray and ultrasound are common diagnostic imaging modalities that we have available to help us find your pets’ problems. 🐶🐱

The development of these non-invasive, accessible and reliable techniques has allowed us to diagnose and treat a huge number of important problems such as fractures, cancer or chronic kidney disease, to name a few!

These days we can also rely on fantastic technology such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography scan (CT), advanced machines that can look at organs that are hard to see with ultrasounds or X-rays (for instance, the brain or some internal organs) with incredible precision.

While these exams can be a bit more expensive, we know they will make all the difference in your pet’s health!

Earaches aren’t just bothersome,

👉 If your pet has recurrent ear problems (also called otitis), this usually means there’s a larger problem causing it!

Owners of dogs with large, floppy ears will know that these pets are prone to getting infections or excessive inflammation, but cats can also suffer from persistent ear problems, especially due to mites, fungi or allergic disease. Whatever the cause, it’s sure to mean an uncomfortable time for your pet!

It’s important to understand why your pet is suffering from recurrent otitis. Not only are they painful, regardless of cause, but infections can migrate further into the ear, and damage their hearing or even affect neurological functions, like balance or head movement.

If you’re concerned about your pet’s ear and hearing health, we are here for you! Contact us today 🩺

Happy Easter! 🐰 We would like to take a moment to remind you to keep your pets safe this season and be on the lookout for:

🍫 Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to our pets, so Easter eggs and all other delicious chocolate treats should always be kept out of our pets' reach!

🍬 Xylitol is a common sweetener that can be found in sweets, teas, soft drinks, baked goods and even some peanut butter brands, causing severe or even fatal blood sugar drops in dogs.

🍇 Raisins, sultanas, currants and grapes are very popular ingredients in baked goods, especially hot cross buns, but they are harmful to dogs if ingested and may even lead to kidney failure.

🌼 Lilies are toxic to cats, even if any part is ingested in small quantities, and can cause life-threatening kidney damage.

Bringing in a new furry family member when you already have other pets can be a tricky situation! 🐕 🐈 It’s important to give your pets time to acclimatis e and get to know each other without being in permanent direct contact, for instance, with the help of a fence or seeing each other from different rooms.

Have you introduced new pets to your home? Tell us how it went! 👇

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!

Want to check if your pet could be a blood donor? Services like the Pet Blood Bank and Animal Blood Bank have handy guides on what pets are eligible and can help you find the best place to donate!

Many pets love a good challenge and pet food puzzles are a great way to introduce fun mental stimulation, especially to food motivated pets or pets who struggle with eating too fast.

Ferrets really are fantastic creatures, and if you own one, we’re sure that you’ll agree!

Did you know that ferrets are obligate carnivores? This means that they must eat meat as part of their diet in order for them to function correctly.

You can give a ferret a variety of foods to keep them happy and healthy. Each day can vary to keep them interested in new foods.

Did you know that a lot of pets love coming to the vet? 🩺 While it can be an understandably stressful time, there are several things you can do to make visits a little better.

Try integrating the cat carrier into everyday life, so they can see it as a place of comfort and not just stress. 😸 You could also take your dog on short and fun car outings in order to reduce anxiety with travel, letting them arrive at our practice less stressed. 🐶
