🐶😺 SENIOR PET CLINICS 😺🐶

As our pets age, their needs change.
We can help them by regularly assessing their health and lifestyle and making any necessary adjustments to ensure they have a good quality of life.

Old age itself is not a disease, and there are many ways we can help pets with age-related conditions to continue to live life to the full.

As temperatures drop, it’s important to know when it’s too cold to walk your dog❄️

Fit and healthy dogs with thick fur should be fine in all but the most extreme cold weather but our young and old dogs are more susceptible to the cold, so please read the below:

Signs that your dog may be too cold:
❄️ shivering
❄️ lifting paws off the ground
❄️ whining, slowing down
❄️ trying to turn back home

You can help keep them safe by keeping walks shorter in the cold, protecting their paws with dog booties and ensuring they have a warm coat. Always monitor your dog closely and bring them inside if they show signs of discomfort.

⚠️ Antifreeze: Sweet-Tasting But Deadly

As the temperatures drop, many of us start using antifreeze in our cars… but did you know it’s one of the most dangerous winter toxins for pets?☠️

Antifreeze (which contains ethylene glycol) is often sweet-tasting to cats and dogs, but cats are most sensitive meaning even one teaspoon can be fatal.

📌 Key precautions:
- Store antifreeze well out of reach
- Clean up any spills immediately
- Don’t let your pet drink from puddles or driveways
- Avoid using products containing ethylene glycol - or better still any chemicals; try an ice scraper or windscreen cover instead.

⏱️ If you suspect your pet has licked or ingested antifreeze or screen wash, call us immediately. Time really is critical with this one.

Castration day for Oakley the miniature dachshund🐶 who enjoyed lots of nurse cuddles and a yummy meal after his surgery 😋 although he did not appreciate a toilet break in the rain 😆☔️

Some of the benefits of neutering male dogs include preventing unwanted pregnancies, prevention of some diseases, such as testicular cancer and a reduction of unwanted behaviour, such as indoor urine marking.

To the animals lost in service, and to those who serve us today 💜

Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and purple poppies can be worn to remember the service of these animals and the lives that were lost.

🎇 Let's ease cat firework anxiety with these five top tips 👇

🐾 Create a Cosy Hideaway: Set up a snug space for your cat to retreat to during the fireworks. A quiet corner with their favourite blanket or a covered cat bed can provide comfort and security

💦 Food & Water Access: Make sure your cat has access to food and water throughout the night. If you know fireworks are coming, consider feeding them a little earlier to reduce stress during mealtime

🔒 Secure Your Home: Close all windows and doors to prevent your frightened kitty from darting outside. Use curtains or blinds to block out flashes of light from the fireworks

🎶 Play Soothing Sounds: Use soft music or turn on the TV to help mask the sound of fireworks. Cats often find comfort in familiar noises, which can help ease their anxiety

📦 Provide Hiding Spots: Cats love to hide! Leave boxes or tunnels around for your cat to explore and retreat to when they feel scared. These spaces can make them feel safer

🎇 Let's ease dog firework anxiety with these five top tips 👇

🚻 Toilet Time: Try to get your dog to go to the toilet before the fireworks start and keep them indoors during the displays

💧 Food & Water Access: For dogs that struggle to eat when stressed, ensure they have access to food and water all night. If you know when the worst nights for fireworks will be, feed your dog late afternoon or early evening before the noise begins

🔒 Secure Your Home: Make sure your home is secure by closing all doors and windows, as scared pets can sometimes bolt. Close curtains and blinds to minimise flashes

🎶 Create Background Noise: Play moderately loud rhythmic music with a good beat to help mask the sound of fireworks. Alternatively, familiar sounds like the TV may also comfort your dog

🐕‍ Prevent Trapping: Ensure your dog cannot get trapped, as this may worsen their phobias. Avoid shutting them in tight spaces
