🥶☠️ Anti-freeze Warning… and how you can help

Around this time of year we sadly start to see cases of possible anti-freeze poisoning. Whilst deliberate poisoning is rare, accidental poisoning is more common.
If you suspect your cat has ingested any anti-freeze, is vomiting, or you see any cat “drinking” near or under a vehicle, please call your vets immediately for advice.
The best thing you can do to protect your cat, and cats in your community, is ONLY buy anti-freeze products with a bitterant

We are sad to announce that our Head RVN Kelly has moved on to new challenges away from veterinary for a while.

Whilst we fully respect Kelly's request to go with minimal fuss, we couldn't let this happen without publicly thanking her for everything she has given to Simply Cats over the past 8 years and we know our clients, especially those with a close relationship to Kelly, will join us in wishing her the very best of luck in her future. 💚😻

Here are a few of our favourite memories.....................

💚This week the team have been wearing green ribbons in support of World Mental Health Day 💚

Life can be challenging, and our pets can help reduce stress and anxiety as well as bringing companionship. But pet ownership has it's challenges. The veterinary rollercoaster is full of daily highs and lows, and usually right after each other which can take it's toll.

Supporting mental health is not just about today for us - every day we look after our own and each others. Every day we do everything with yours in mind too.

*Smile!* 😻🦷

Brushing our teeth is natural to us, and it should be for our cats too.
International Cat Care explain it a little more 👇

😺 Tooth be told, do you find it challenging to brush your cat's teeth? 🦷🪥

7 in 10 cats come to the vet with periodontal disease, so daily brushing of a cat's teeth is vital to maintain good long term oral health. It’s also the most effective way to reduce dental plaque and tartar formation, promote healthy gums and reduce bad breath.

But we know caregivers can find it challenging, with studies showing as little as 3.7% of pet owners committing to daily tooth brushing!

🐈 So, what can we do? Starting early is key, kittens in their development stage can get used to new things more swiftly. But a cat of any age can become accustomed to brushing with a slow and gradual approach. Find out more 👉 https://icatcare.org/advice/how-to-brush-your-cats-teeth/

But if your cat doesn’t like tooth brushing, discuss alternative options with your vet clinic and take a look at the available dental products supported by the Veterinary Oral Health Council here 👉 https://vohc.org/accepted-products/

What do you do to help support your cat's oral health?
