If you’re out and about walking in long grass & wooded areas , be wary of ticks as they can be more prevalent at this time of year. They often position themselves at the very tips of grass and plants and find their next blood meal by waving their forelimbs in the air - this is called ‘questing’. As you & your pet innocently brush past, the tick will latch on by biting firmly through the skin. If you find a tick on your pet, don’t pull it off as this can cause the mouthparts to be left behind. Speak to us about how to safely remove it, and about year-round prevention.

Raisins
Currants
Sultanas
Grapes
These can be found in hot cross buns and fruit cakes at this time of year, and are dangerous to pets, so make sure your furry friends can’t get their paws on them!

Please call the surgery 01484 411804 if you believe your dog has eaten any of these

Please remember when buying Easter eggs that chocolate is very toxic to pets.
Chocolate contains a compound called theobromine which dogs and cats are unable to process properly.
The darker the chocolate the higher the theobromine content therefore the more toxic it is.
🍫Keep those chocolates out of your pets reach!🍫
If you suspect your pet may have eaten chocolate, call your veterinary practice or the Animal poison line https://www.animalpoisonline.co.uk/ for advice. You will need to tell them the type of chocolate, how much they ingested, the size of your pet, and when it happened.

New Prescribing Guidelines issued by The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS)

As from the 12/01/24 all clients will be required to book a vet appointment when requesting your pet's next flea and worm treatment. (even if you have been prescribed the same medication previously).

Once seen, the vet will record a prescription on your account which will be valid for either 12 months or until your pets annual vaccinations are due.
We will not be able to dispense any POM-V flea and worm products if we have no written instructions on your pets records.

Should you wish to change to a different flea and worming product
the vet will need to see your pet again.

Please call the surgery on 01484 411804 & speak to our reception team if you require any further information.

You can also find further guidance on the RCVS link below.

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚
