Two paw-fect passengers.
Cocker spaniel River (left) and Pip the poodle (right) have been out
for a trip on the bus, getting comfortable with all the strange sights,
sounds, and smells of public transport.
It's an important stage of their hearing dog training so that Pip and
River can feel relaxed in case their future deaf partners travel by bus
or train.

Today is National Day of Charity, so we thought
we would take the opportunity to highlight the
incredible work our charity of the year, Hearing
Dogs for Deaf People, do all year round.
Don’t forget, you can add a donation via Pennies
when you pay by card at your next appointment.
Just a small donation can help deaf people
escape isolation and reconnect with life. Thank
you.

Are you looking to travel abroad with your pet this summer? If
you are, you will be required to obtain an Animal Health
Certificate (AHC) for them.
An AHC needs to be issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV).
Check with your veterinary practice to see if they have a
qualified OV because not every practice will have one.

You know your pet is covered day to day with their routine

There are many different diseases and parasites that our pets

travelling abroad with your pet, visit:

Deafness can be a very isolating disability, so a hearing dog offers
constant companionship and emotional support, giving deaf
people the confidence to reconnect with their family, friends and
community around them. This combination of practical
assistance and lifelong friendship can be completely lifechanging.

15/07/2024

Deafness is rising in the UK; by 2035, it is estimated that one in five
British people (over 15 million) will experience hearing loss. Hearing
Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity that trains dogs to
alert deaf people to important and life-saving sounds like the smoke
alarm, alarm clock and even a baby’s cry. Their burgundy coats also act
as a visual reminder to the public when they are out and about that
their partner is deaf. Donations raised through Pennies when you pay
by card help support Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Just a small
donation can make a big difference!

Our pets are part of the family and we want to share fun
experiences with them – including taking them on holiday!
While this often results in great fun and wonderful memories,
there are a few things to consider first. A bit of planning
beforehand goes a long way towards making it a positive
experience for everyone.

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it
will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.
If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a
cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Thank You Day is celebrated every year in the UK, offering the opportunity to give thanks and celebrate those who go above and beyond for us.
Share your appreciation below by tagging someone you are thankful for in the comments section

Unlike us, pets have no understanding that hot weather can be
harmful. We control their environment, their access to water
and their exercise, and they can’t speak up if they start feeling
unwell. Heat stroke can rapidly progress and, even with
veterinary treatment, is often fatal.

New Computer and Phone System 🖥📞

We are having a new computer and phone system installed on Friday 26th April 2024. The switch over to the new system will take place overnight on Friday.

From Monday 29th April 2024 booking appointments, medication requests, consultations and queries will take longer than usual as we get to grips with the new system.

We have all been undergoing some training to ensure this is as smooth as possible and causes little disruption.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Did you know that microchipping is included in your HPC plan?!
It is your responsibility to ensure the details held against the microchip number are kept up to date. This means you must contact the database the microchip is registered to if you move house, change phone number, or rehome your cat. If your cat does get lost or stolen, let the database know as most will mark this against the microchip number.
If you live in England and your cat is not microchipped or if you're unsure if they are, you will need to get them microchipped by 10 June 2024 or you could face a fine of up to £500.
Please call us on 01752 892700 to book your cat in!
