Lets talk dental care...
Just like humans, pets need regular dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy and prevent dental disease. 🤔
💡 Establish a daily oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing your pet's teeth regularly with a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste. Brushing helps remove plaque and prevent tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
🍽️ Feeding your pet a balanced diet and providing dental chews or toys may help promote oral health by reducing plaque and tartar accumulation. Avoiding excessive amounts of sugary treats and table scraps can also contribute to better dental health for your pet.
👀 Be aware of the more obvious signs of dental problems: bad breath, swollen or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and difficulty chewing. If you notice any of these signs, it's essential to schedule a dental exam with your vet promptly.
🏥 Regular vet check-ups are also crucial for maintaining your pet's dental health by spotting early signs of dental disease. During these visits, your vet can perform a thorough dental examination, and advise on further professional treatments as needed, and offer guidance on home dental care practices.
💬 Stay proactive in your pet's dental care to prevent dental disease. Reach out to our team with any concerns!

Slow feeder bowls and feeder toys can help your pet maintain a healthy weight by preventing them from eating their food too quickly. When your pet eats slowly, they tend to feel fuller and more satisfied with less food, reducing the likelihood of overeating🐶🐱🐾

As it was #InternationalCatDay earlier this week why not share your favorite playtime moments or tag a fellow cat lover who knows the magic of play in the comments below!
Let's inspire a world of happy, playful cats! 🌍🐱❤️
#PurrfectPlay
🎾 Playtime isn't just about chasing toys or scratching posts—it's an essential part of a cat's well-being! If they don’t seem interested, you probably have the wrong toys and often simple is better.
1️⃣ Mental Stimulation: Play engages your cat's mind, keeping them sharp, alert, and on their paws! Puzzle toys, interactive games, and feather wands are fantastic ways to get those little cogs turning. 🧠🔛
2️⃣ Physical Fitness: Just like us, cats need exercise to stay fit and healthy. A rousing game of "catch the laser dot" or a playful romp with a catnip-filled toy can keep those muscles toned and that waistline in check. 💪🐈
3️⃣ Stress Buster: Got a grumpy cat? Play is the ultimate stress reliever! It helps them release pent-up energy, frustration, and anxiety, leaving them feeling calm, content, and ready for a cuddle session. 😽🧘♀️
4️⃣ Bonding Bonanza: Playtime strengthens your bond with your furry companion. Sharing laughter, interactive play, and gentle affection builds trust, love, and a lifetime of cherished memories. 🤗💕
5️⃣ Natural Instincts: Cats are born hunters, and play allows them to unleash their innate instincts in a safe and stimulating environment. So bring out the feathers, crinkle balls, and treat-dispensing toys—let their inner predator shine! 🐾
Remember, playtime should always be supervised, Never use your hands if using a fishing line; it must be long enough, so the cat plays with the toy on the end and not you and choose toys that are safe and suitable for your cat's size and age. 🎉😻

👩⚕️🏥 | What does a Registered Veterinary Nurse do in practice?
In short? A lot!
Tina breaks down what our fabulous and dedicated VNs do day in and day out.
#VeterinaryNursingAwarenessMonth
The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world.
Registered veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses are registered with the royal college of veterinary surgeons. They are regulated by them in terms of their conduct and keeping up-to-date with training. The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world as anyone can use this term, even if not qualified or registered
Efforts have been made to change this, and we fully support this; our nursing team deserves to have their title protected and for pet owners to know your vet nurse is fully qualified to look after your beloved pet.
Registered vet nurses RVN and registered student nurses RSVN are always qualified and trained.
