Following a recent tragic case where sadly a beautiful young spaniel, Barney, lost his life; this post is aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of common household plants.

These are plants that many of us may have in our homes without realising the dangers that they pose to our pets.
This recent case involved the ingestion of an elephant ear plant, there are several varieties of these, all of which are toxic. Common varieties are Alocasia, Colocasia and Xanthosoma.

The elephant ear plant is a houseplant with giant pointed leaves that look like elephant ears. This plant may be nice to look at, but it can be dangerous for your pet.

These plants contain an insoluble calcium oxalate acid. The calcium oxalate has crystals that leech into the tissues of your pet’s skin and mouth which causes injury to your pet’s mouth. The immediate signs of alocasia poisoning are pawing at the face and mouth, vomiting, foaming, and drooling. The swelling of the mouth, tongue, and upper airway can produce breathing trouble and difficulty in swallowing. This can be fatal for your pet quickly if you do not get immediate medical help. Your pet can also get a toxic reaction of the skin and eyes from the liquid or oils inside the leaves and stalk, and puncture wounds from the thorns. This can cause skin pain, redness and itching.

If your pet has ingested a toxic plant you should carefully rinse your pet’s mouth out with cold water on a washcloth. Clean any plant residue from your pet’s face and rinse out its eyes if they will tolerate this. Seek veterinary advice immediately.

We would urge you to check what plants you have and whether these are safe to pets.

We are experiencing problems with our telephones ☎️ this morning and all calls are going directly to Shrewsbury branch. We are trying to get this sorted so please bear with us.

If you need to speak to Leominster or Ludlow then Shrewsbury can contact us via a mobile and we can then get back to you, alternatively Shrewsbury have access to our diary and can book appointments in should you need.

Hopefully this will be sorted quickly, thanks for your patience.

🔔It's that time of year again! 🔔
The Christmas treats are in the house and naughty pets just can't resist sneaking a mouthful...

We've had a few dogs in recently who have needed to be made sick after indulging in what's not for them 🫣

🎄Christmas cake, mince pies and chocolates from the advent calendar are all tempting treats that have meant a vet visit has been required. These can all cause significant illness and damage to vital organs if not dealt with.

⏳ If you suspect your pet has eaten a toxin please call us as soon as possible - time is an important factor. ⚠

🎁 It was double festivities yesterday! 🎁
As well as our Christmas Jumper Day we had a mug painting social in the evening!

We brought snacks and goodies (and had a bailey's hot chocolate station! 😋) to munch on before channelling our inner artists for the evening.

We love the variety of designs that came out ❤

🎄 Yesterday we had our Christmas Jumper Day! 🎄
Pictured are just some of the members of staff who took part in this year's event ❤

Everyone who wore a Christmas jumper made a donation which will go towards the purchase of food for a local Food Bank.

We're proud to be able to support such a great cause, even with the odd questionable fashion choice!

⭐ He survived!! ⭐ Yesterday our Lead Vet Johno made it back to do the aerial acrobatic portion of his Wing-Walk! This is a short clip of the full 10 minutes he was being flung around - rather him than us! There's still time to donate at the JustGiving page - find the link in the comments!

🐾 Enrichment Idea! 🐾 Keeping your pet's mind healthy is just as important as looking after their physical health. Bored pets can become destructive and exhibit negative behaviours. Having enrichment ideas ready to go for when the weather is hot is also a great way to tire them out when you can't go out for walks ☀ 💡Enrichment isn't always about food! Scenting, training and even play are all classed as Enrichment as they get your pet's brain working. You don't need to spend lots to enrich your pet's lives, though there are a great range of puzzle toys available now! 🐶Dogs: Feed their dinner differently! Use a snuffle mat, a rolled up towel, or treat dispenser to put their kibble in. 🐾Or, why not hide their favourite treat somewhere in the house! Rub the treat onto various surfaces leading up to the hiding spot for your dog to sniff out. Dogs Trust has some great Enrichment ideas: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/dog-advice/life-with-your-dog/enrichment/enrichment-activities-for-dogs 🐱Cats: Everyone knows Cats love Catnip! Rub a little catnip in spots around the house for your cat to seek out. Or, why not try making your own cat toys! Battersea has some great ideas: https://www.battersea.org.uk/pet-advice/cat-advice/diy-cat-toys?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1K6Ig8jghwMV1ZFQBh2Rfj0IEAAYAiAAEgLQh_D_BwE 🐹Small Pets: Scatter food around the enclosure to mimic their natural foraging behaviour. Or, why not try stuffing their hay into cardboard tubes? They can shred the cardboard after the hay is gone for double the fun! ❗Please remember to always check any toy or activity for damage and suitability for use, and keep an eye on pets who like to chew or swallow things they shouldn't! ❗ Featured is Jake, Receptionist Angela's Border Collie! He has a treat ball filled with mostly his tea and a few treats to keep him motivated, and is demonstrating his brain power brilliantly ❤
