😿😿Sad News😿😿

We’ve had a deceased cat bought in this morning. Found by a very kind lady on High Street.

Looks like she’s been hit by a car and likely died quickly due to her injuries

Sadly no microchip

Her description.. Tabby, female, adult, 4 white socks on her feet and other white patches to her underside.

No photo due to her injuries, if you think you know who she belongs to or you believe you are her owner please contact the surgery on

She will stay here for now to give her owners chance to get in touch.

Please share 😿

☀️☀️☀️☀️Hot Weather warning!☀️☀️☀️☀️

The last few days have seen temperatures reaching 33 degrees (Recorded in Leek yesterday at 2pm) and sadly there were still owners walking their dogs in the middle of the day 😢

Missing a walk could literally save their life so please think twice!

Imagine yourself wearing a fur coat and wearing no shoes, if this would be unbearable for you then please don’t put your dogs in this situation! 🥵

Brachycephalic breeds like Bull breeds, boxers and pugs are at higher risk from over heating along with young and old dogs BUT all dogs are at risk.. 🐶🐩🐕🐕‍🦺🦮

Top tips:
- Walk early morning or late in the evening if it’s cooler
- Have a short walk, allow your dog to sniff and investigate rather than going on a hike
- Walk in shaded places like woodland, places with water are often great so dogs can have a paddle
- Keep curtains closed, doors and windows open if there is a breeze or use fans at home where possible
- use cooling mats/bandanas/coats to help dogs to stay cool

Remembers the Heatstroke 1st aid steps -

- Get someone to call the vets to let them know a dog requires treatment for heat stroke
- Cool your dog down, the latest advice is to totally submerge them in cold water (care should be taken to make sure the dogs head is above the water at all times)
- Transport the dog in a air conditioned car to the vets
- Do not use wet towels over the dog as this traps heat from escaping

Prevention is always better as a recent study showed that 26% of dogs presented with heatstroke died 😢

🐰 Rabbit Awareness Week 2025 🐰

Adopt don’t shop.

It is estimated that 100,000 rabbits end up in rescues every year!

Did you know that there are no legal guidelines on the breeding of rabbits? Unlike cats and dogs anyone can breed and sell rabbits.

If you are looking at getting a pair of rabbits or a single one to bond to your existing bunny always look at rehoming from a rescue rather than buying from a breeder.

Rabbit are the most abandoned pet in the UK.

We work with a charity called Fluffy Butts who rescue and rehome small rodents including rabbits. https://fluffybutts.org.uk

The photos are bunnies looking for their forever homes..

🐰Bueno is a neutered female looking for a forever home with neutered wife or husband companion!

🐰Holly and Ivy are neutered sisters looking for their forever family

Please contact Fluffy Butts Rescue if you think you could offer the perfect home for these beautiful girls!

🐰 Rabbit Awareness 2025 🐰

A hutch is not enough.

This is a common saying in the rabbit welfare world.
Unfortunately it is sometimes still thought that keeping a rabbit confined to a hutch is acceptable. This is not the case.
Rabbits, much like their wild cousins, need lots of space to live.

In a hutch that is too small for them can use deformities and illnesses that are fatal to bunnies.

The RWAF have lots of advice and recommendations on how to appropriately house your rabbits, they give a minimum recommended size and have lots of ideas on how to make this size available.

Check out their website:

🐰 Rabbit Awareness week 2025 🐰

Neutering is vital for a long and healthy life.
It doesn’t only stop the course of unwanted pregnancies but also helps to prevent life threatening health issues.

Having a male rabbit castrated can help prevent them spraying urine, developing cancer in their te**es and prostate gland and can reduce aggressive behaviour.

Having a female rabbit spayed reduces the risk of uterine cancer, pyometra (infection of the uterus/womb) and mammary tumours. It can reduce aggression and stop phantom pregnancies.

Rabbit surgery is far safer than it used to be thanks to safer anaesthetics and more knowledge on the species.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01538 373 666

🐰 Rabbit Awareness week 2025 🐰

Rabbits are evolved to live in groups. Having a solitary rabbit deprives your pet of one of its 5 animal freedoms.

Bonding is a complicated process that if you are going to undertake needs a lot of research doing first.

The rabbits must be neutered and vaccinated, to prevent the spread of disease and to reduce the hormones that they produce.

Once you’ve seen the bond between rabbits you will never want to go back to a solitary rabbit. It is a truly magical bond that they share.

It’s also important to know that rabbits grieve the loss of a partner. They need time with the partners body to understand that they are gone and they need extra care and attention during the grieving process. This can take anywhere from hours to weeks.

🐰Rabbit Awareness week 2025 🐰

Rabbits have a more complicated dental health than cats and dogs.

Their teeth are constantly growing. This means that without the correct feeding their teeth can become too long and cause issues.

Rabbits need to chew their foods in a side to side motion to file down their teeth.
If their teeth aren’t worn down they can grow spurs which can cause painful cuts in their mouths.

Feeding them hay and pellets is the best way to help them with their teeth, as well as taking them to the vets for six monthly check ups, as they have to eat these foods using the side to side motion.

If you have any concerns about your rabbits teeth then please contact us on: 01538 373666

Domesticated rabbits are very similar to their wild cousins.
They therefore should be fed a similar diet that a wild rabbit would eat.
A rabbits diet should consist of;
* 85% hay or grass
* 10% leafy green vegetables
* 5% pellets or nuggets

Hay provides them with many essential minerals and vitamins. It also provides a way for the rabbits to keep their teeth filed down and at a healthy length.
Keep an eye out for our post on rabbit tooth health.

On the Feeding guide below there is a great selection of vegetables that are safe for rabbits.
Mainly leafy green vegetables are a great source of nutrients and they usually have a low sugar content.
