Little Martha was in for her vaccinations recently! - We absolutely love seeing our team bond with our wonderful patients. Emma tells us that posing for a photo with a puppy is a tough task, but someone has to do it! 😂😍🐾

Finding the right balance of how much food to give a puppy or kitten is quite the challenge. Some foods you need to give more of, some less, wet food should be an accompaniment and you should reduce the weight of the dry food against the weight of the wet food....ARGHHH!!

Our latest blog looks at how to maintain your puppy or kittens weight. Don't forget, we are here to help! Our Veterinary Nurses can advise you on diets and perform weight checks during a consultation. It is also a good idea to pop in if you are passing with your puppy to jump on the scales as we keep a record of their weight. It's also a chance to come into the vets without having "treatment" done, and to get lots of attention from our team!

Around summertime you will see many posts from vets and dog services alike giving advice on hot weather. But what about cold weather? It can be just as dangerous for very different reasons!

Christmas is just behind us, but all those treats and leftovers may still be hanging around!

Our Veterinary Nurses perform body score profiles and run weight clinics so you can keep on top of your pet's weight. Being overweight and obesity comes with many increased health risks.
