21% of Rabbits Don’t Binky! 😲

A binky is a joyful leap and twist in the air, a sign that a rabbit is happy and feels safe. If your rabbit isn't binkying, it could be a sign of stress or discomfort.

Here are some tips to help get your bunny binkying again:

🐰 Provide Space: Ensure your rabbit has plenty of room to hop and play
🐰 Safe Environment: Create a safe, quiet space where your rabbit feels secure
🐰 Enrichment: Offer toys and activities to keep your rabbit engaged and stimulated
🐰 Companionship: Rabbits are social animals and should live with a bonded bunny friend
🐰 Healthy Diet: Feed a balanced diet rich in hay, fresh vegetables, and water
🐰 Regular Vet Check-ups: Ensure your rabbit is healthy and free from pain.

Did you have a plan in place?

According to the latest Paw Report, most do but 13% still don’t have a plan before the new pet arrives to their home!

We would always recommend getting food bowls, beds, toys in place before they arrive. As well as a ‘safe space’ they can go as they acclimatize to their new surroundings.

You can also look at breed-specific advice online so you can cater for whatever bundle of joy is soon to arrive.

And if in doubt, you can always reach out to us with any questions on how you can be best prepared.

Save the sofa corners! 🙀
In the latest PAW report, a staggering 77% of cats have 2 or fewer scratching posts – but why is this important?

Cats will scratch to relieve stress and to make their territory, without the proper placement, type or number of scratching posts, this could result in unwelcome scratching – like your new sofa! 😲

We fully recommend having a few dotted around your house in easy to reach areas of the home.

Keeping your indoor cat ha ha happy ⏬

There are lots of reasons cats may need to lead fully indoor lives such as the area, breed, or illness like FIV. But how do you keep them happy and content?

😻 Creating the right environment is key – ensuring they have access to all resources such as litter frays, water/food bowls, and cat beds. If possible, have one extra of all resources for your cat.

😻 Exercise! Get plenty of play before their teatime and look at interactive games such as puzzle feeders to work them out mentally and physically.

😻 Maintain the little hunter within! Toys that simulate the act of hunting are critical is keeping your cat happy and not bored/frustrated.

😻 The benefits of the outdoors for cats are the range of movement and jumping around. Therefore, having cat trees and areas in which your cat can freely climb is essential.

Happy International Chocolate Day!

While we humans can indulge in chocolatey treats, it’s important to remember that chocolate is toxic to our furry friends.

Keep an eye out for symptoms of chocolate poisoning in pets, such as vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid breathing and increased heart rate. If your pet shows any of these signs, contact your vet immediately.

If your dog ingests chocolate, keep the wrapper and estimate the amount consumed to help your vet provide the best care.

Did you know that bad breath in pets can be a sign of underlying dental problems? Just like us, cats and dogs can experience dental issues that require attention.

This Fresh Breath Day, take a moment to assess your pet's breath. If it's less than pleasant, it could be a red flag for dental issues such as gum disease, plaque buildup, or tooth decay.

Happy teeth. Happy rabbit. Simples 🐰
Rabbits’ teeth continually grow an average of 2-3mm a week, so good dental health is vital!

The fibrous foods that rabbits eat wear down their teeth and keep them at the optimal length. The back teeth grind
up the fibrous food, whilst the front teeth cut the food up like shears.

However, not having enough fiber in your rabbit’s food, means the growth is more than the wear, resulting in excess tooth growth. This puts the mouth and teeth in the wrong place (malocclusion) and cause spurs, spikes and potentially tooth ache.
If not corrected, all sorts of dental problems can occur during a rabbit’s lifetime.

Regular checks, diet advice at your vet and a balanced diet made of 90% hay and a tiny number of pellets can help prevent these problems.

We'd like you all to give a warm welcome to our new vet, Ali.

Ali has over seven years of experience in the veterinary field. He started his career at a small animal practice, then moved on to an animal shelter complex; he has also worked at a zoo gaining valuable experience with a wide range of animals.

Here he is hoping to manage a variety of cases, whilst also performing routine surgeries, as well as more complex procedures. His particular areas of interest include animal welfare, animal care and surgical interventions.

Ali says "I also had the unique experience of working as an official veterinarian, which broadened my perspective on animal health regulations and public safety. This journey has not only honed my clinical skills but also deepened my compassion and dedication to veterinary medicine".

Welcome to Team Haven, Ali

We've had a busy bee 🐝 working hard at our Hedon branch also, creating a colourful space for the bees, but also for the staff and clients. Thank you to RVN Zoe for your hard work and Receptionist Tracy for growing a lot of the plants at both branches from seed in her own time. We all appreciate it so much. 🥰

Our Courtyard

🐝🐝We are trying to do our bit this summer to help the pollinating bees 🐝🐝 Tracy at our Holderness Road branch has been busy planting in our little courtyard. This has made it a lovely peaceful place for us to have our lunch.

Here's a short video of RVN Tammy inserting a microchip, a big thanks to Bargharra for being our model on the day #CatMicrochipping

Here's a short video about the upcoming law microchipping your cat.

3 signs your rabbit loves you 🐰 As a prey species, it can be difficult to spot signs of affection that your rabbit gives you. Here’s what to look out for ⏬ 💗 Binkying: This is where your rabbit will suddenly run, leap, and twist in the air! Sit back and enjoy the show. 💗 If your rabbit just flops out, fully stretched out, this means they’re super relaxed and feel unthreatened around you. 💗 A little headbutt, rub or nudge against you is them looking for some loving attention. Bonus points if you can share some of the above signs of love with us in the comments! #ValentinesDay

How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬ 💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you! 💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most. 💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it. These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞 #ValentinesDay

They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬ 💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat! 💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets 💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals. 💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love! Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽 #ValentinesDay
