LUNGWORM

Many of our clients want to reduce the frequency that they give worming treatments. This may be to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals they give their dog, to save money, or to reduce the risks of environmental contamination. But it is essential to ensure your dog gets the protection they need.
Lungworm is prevalent in the South East, and though young dogs are at highest risk, any dog can be affected.
Some dogs have no symptoms, while others may have a soft cough. Most seriously, lungworm can cause clotting defects and can lead to fatal bleeding.

In my part of the world, I can only recommend monthly lungworm treatment or testing every 3 months (monthly for puppies). It simply isn't worth the risk.
If you are worried either about parasites or about how you can reduce your paraciticide use please talk to your vet.
We are happy to book appointments to discuss a holistic approach, including individualised testing recommendations.

I love this cartoon!
There is no one correct way to feed a dog. And whether your dog is on a highly processed science based kibble diet for a health issue, you spend ages building a raw prey model feast, or anything in between... your dog will always be a p**p eating scavenger at heart!
At Four Seasons we believe fed is best as will help you find a diet that works for you and your dog.

We are pleased to welcome the return of pet passports! ✈️

Dr Ed Hayes, Head of Public Affairs at The Kennel Club said: “We thoroughly support the reintroduction of the pet passport system, meaning that dogs travelling from the UK will no longer need animal health certificates for every trip – which have proved to be both costly and burdensome for pet owners, and something we have continued to raise concerns about with Government officials in the UK.

“This is a very positive step and we thank all those MPs who have kept pet travel high on the agenda with the EU, and helped to deliver a solution for dog owners.”

Further information about The Kennel Club’s campaign to ensure smooth pet travel post-Brexit is available on the organisation’s website: thekennelclub.org.uk/brexit.
