Protect your dog from Kennel Cough! 🐶💉

Kennel cough is like the common cold for dogs - highly contagious and easily spread in places like dog parks, daycare, and boarding facilities. It’s transmitted through airborne droplets and shared items like water bowls and toys.

Signs to watch for...
🔹 Persistent, forceful cough (dry or productive)
🔹 Runny nose, sneezing, or eye discharge
🔹 Mild lethargy in some cases

Why vaccinate...
✔️ Helps prevent severe coughing & discomfort
✔️ Reduces the risk of infection in social settings
✔️ Protects vulnerable dogs (puppies, seniors)

💉 Is your pet due for their vaccination? If you have a new puppy or need a booster, get in touch with our team.

FAO of all clients

⚠️Good morning. Please bare with us this morning as we are having technical issues with our phones and computers at all four branches.

If you have an appointment booked please attend as normal and if we are unable to facilitate the appointment we will contact you. Hopefully we will be back up and running shortly- we will keep you updated.⚠️

Though every day is a surprise at our practice, there are some things that we see more often than others. Here’s our top 3:

💩 Diarrhoea – be it for having eaten something out of the ordinary or due to long-term intestinal disease, diarrhoea can have several causes that need to be properly diagnosed and treated.

🐾 Itchiness – this problem can often go unnoticed for some time, as some scratching is normal for pets, and it can be hard to recognise that it might be excessive until skin lesions start showing up.

⚖️ Weight loss – as weight loss tends to be gradual as well, it can also take you some time to recognise that your pet’s weight has changed. Again, there are a number of different diseases that can lead to weight loss, even without apparent changes in appetite.

If you recognise any of these signs on your pet, it’s important to investigate what might be behind them 🔍, so don’t hesitate to book an appointment with us!

Though there are a number of reasons why adopting a pet is a good idea, there are some against it that need to be considered just as carefully!

Have a look at our checklist below: if you tick any of these boxes, we would recommend not adopting.
If you're in no condition to adopt right now but still love animals unconditionally, why not volunteer at the shelter or consider fostering? They're likely to need the help and, this way, you can share some of your love with animals in need. 🥰

There are two types of people in the morning, or in this case, pets. Does your pet wake up happy, looking fresh and ready to conquer the day, or do they emerge looking like they've been on a wild adventure through the night? 🤪

Which category does your pet fall into? Share their morning vibes with us!

23/01/2025

If they’re inside, they want to go outside, and as soon as they are outside, they want to come back in! We can only conclude that cats are allergic to closed doors. 😹 The truth is, this behaviour has to do with cats’ territorial nature!

Cat owners, does this happen to you?

If your dog has eaten something that could harm them, you don’t need to be embarrassed to tell us. Yes, we’ve retrieved plenty of unusual objects (🩲🪀) from pets’ gastrointestinal tract before. Accidents happen!

Your pet’s safety and health are our only concerns in these situations, so don’t feel like you need to hold back when talking to our team!

There’s more to pet ownership than everyday activities and routines!

Though going out for a walk or relaxing on the sofa are great ways to bond with your pets, today we’d like to ask you about something out of the box you’ve done with your pet and that you both loved!

The floor is yours! 👇

Being a pet owner is an incredible journey, and it’s essential that we offer our furry, scaly or feathery friends the best care possible so we can share many amazing years with them! 🥰

For this new year, prioritise your pet’s preventative health and look at what you can improve. It may be time to spruce up their bedding or enclosures, offer them a higher-quality diet, or book them in for a health check to ensure everything is okay.

Kick off 2025 in the best way and contact us to book your pet for an appointment 📞

Are you new to pet ownership, or are you an experienced pet parent? 🤔

When we get a new pet, there are a number of things that we envision going a certain way. But the truth is, our expectations can be extremely misleading. 😂

We’d love for you to share one of your expectations vs reality stories in the comments. Bonus points if there are pictures to prove it! 🤭

Cats have very distinctive personalities, and while some enjoy being by your side all the time, requesting pets as they please, and vocalising cheerfully, others are more independent and appreciate the quiet of having a space to themselves.

If you had to describe your cat’s personality, what would you say? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

Let’s be honest: we all envy our cats once in a while, especially if we need to get up at 6am to head to work and they don’t even bother leaving the bed to say ‘Good morning!’. Tell us, what would you do with your day if you were a cat? 😺

Though every cat is unique, we’ve put together 9 types according to common traits of feline personality. 🤭 Which one is yours? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️ 1) The stereotype - independent, self-reliant, will allow you to pet them if and when it pleases them. 2) The dog - follows you around everywhere and is always eager for pets. 3) The freeloader - only shows up when they want something, usually food. 4) The snoozer - every time you see them, they're napping. 5) The yowler - is very vocal and always keen on taking over conversations. 6) The thoughtful - always has something waiting for you, dead or alive. 7) The sergeant - is in charge of everyone's schedule - when you get up, when you cook, when you leave the house… 8) The decorator - loves rearranging textures (fight the carpets) and objects (your fragile vases) around the house. 9) The ninja - you never know where they are, and only know for sure that you have a cat from litter tray evidence.

We all love being pet owners, but did you know that the company of animals can also be beneficial to your health? 🐱🐶🐰 This is because our faithful friends help reduce stress and anxiety, motivate us to be more active and offer us a significant level of companionship and emotional support during tough times! How does your pet make your day better? Tell us everything in the comments! 👇🏻

A recent law change has introduced mandatory microchipping for cats 🐈. We feel this is an amazing step forward for the protection of our beloved feline family members as it helps pets who have been lost or stolen get reunited with their owners. Is your cat microchipped? If they aren’t yet, or if your contact information is outdated, don’t hesitate to schedule a visit with us!

What pet insurance can mean for you and your pet. 🩺 It truly is a privilege to own and care for a pet. However, you must consider the different costs when becoming a pet owner. Even when you have everything planned and budgeted, you cannot predict the future and any unexpected veterinary or pet-related costs that might arise.
