FIREWORKS 🎆🎉

Whilst we may enjoy November 5th, some of our pets do not! Firework fears and noise phobias are a common problem in pets with at least 80%of pets being scared of fireworks

Here's some tips on how best to help your pet during the fireworks season:

✨In the run up to fireworks night walk your dog when it is still light outside. This reduces the possibility of fireworks being let off and your dog becoming worried.

✨Make sure all windows, doors and cat flaps are securely closed during fireworks night. This will reduce the chances of your pets escaping.

✨Provide extra litter trays for cats. Litter trays will be used more as your cat is confined to the house.

✨Provide distractions, in the form of new toys and chews, during periods when fireworks are occurring. Draw curtains and put the TV on to mask the noise of fireworks being let off.

✨DO NOT punish your pet! This will only make your pet more distressed.

✨Try not to leave your pets alone when fireworks are going off. Your pet may hurt themselves during this time.

From 5pm to 9pm on Tuesday 5 November, Classic FM is again having its annual pet radio show, for the most calming classical music.

If your pet really struggles during the fireworks season please speak to your vet or nurse about ways you can help ease their anxiety.

❗️Warning post contains graphic images ❗️

Mishka was referred to the Kettering Vets surgical team for investigations in to her retro-pharyngeal mass (a growth at the very back of the nose.) Mishka was losing her appetite, going off her food and couldn't breathe properly through her nose. After examination we performed intraoral surgery; this involved splitting her soft palate to gain access and remove the lump. In doing so, Mishka's symptoms have completely alleviated. So well done Mishka you brave girl 🐱💗

I just want to say a huge thank you for all of your kind words, thoughtful gifts and special treats for the recent arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Lanny 👶🐣🍼. The last few weeks have been a little sleepless, so apologies for the delay in posting.

She is enjoying playing, listening and wearing all of her treasured gifts, and her parents certainly enjoyed eating her specially made cake on her behalf. Thanks to all of the much loved clients and team at The Kettering Vets. 😍🥰💝
