Wishing all of our lovely clients and patients a peaceful Christmas 💚
🍷🍾Wine Not? Because Alcohol is Toxic for Pets!
Alcohol might be festive for us, but it's dangerous for pets! Even a small sip can cause vomiting, difficulty breathing, or worse.
Keep those cocktails and mulled wines well out of paw’s reach this holiday season!
Battery Bust: Powering Up Danger! ⚠️
🔋Batteries are a holiday must for gadgets, but they’re toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets. They can cause chemical burns or blockages, leading to serious issues.
Keep all batteries and remotes out of their reach this season!
Tearful Trouble! 🛑
Onions and onion-containing foods like gravy and stuffing can cause gastrointestinal upset and damage to your pet's red blood cells. Even a little can be harmful!
Keep them away from furry friends! 🐾
Shiny but Dangerous ✨
🎄 Tinsel, shiny decorations, and tree ornaments might look festive, but they can be hazardous to pets!
Cats love to climb trees, and if they ingest tinsel or string, it can cause serious gastrointestinal issues or blockages.
Keep fragile decorations and tinsel out of reach! 🐾
🚨Did you know, fleas are not just a “Summer Issue”?🚨
Fleas are a problem throughout the year: micro-climates in homes, gardens and parks allow their survival during the coldest winters.
⚠️ Preventing fleas is easier than dealing with an infestation.
🛡️ Regularly using effective licensed veterinary flea products is key but remember: some treatments for dogs can be highly toxic to our feline friends, so exercise caution.
👋 If you suspect your pet has fleas, don't hesitate give us a call. We can recommend an appropriate flea product and provide guidance on usage and other measures.

*Under new regulations set by the RVCS, animals need to be examined by a vet and a tailored antiparasite treatment prescribed when veterinary prescription medicines are given. Your vet will then advise how many times your pet can receive the treatment before another veterinary assessment is made.
