The weather is forecast to be extremely hot this weekend with the Met Office predicting 23°-26°.
RSPCA guidance says anything over 24° is dangerous for dogs and, after taking advice, for the health and safety of our 4 legged friends, we have regretfully taken the decision to cancel the Pride Dog Show.

Unfortunately after springing a leak and taking on water as we were about to leave Lewes, we had to be towed back to safety.
We have managed to raise over £600 for Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare, which we would like to say a massive thank you for.
We can safely say there were a lot of mixed emotions today but overall we had an amazing time and raised money for a great cause.
Bring on next year!

GUESS THE BREEDS! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pluto came and saw our Vet, Paul, yesterday for his 2nd vaccination 😍

Weighing a whopping 17kg at just 13 weeks, can guess the TWO breeds that make up this gorgeous boy?!

We also had the very cute, Ginger, in for his castration yesterday. Here he is having a cuddle afterwards with our lovely Head Nurse, Sarah 🥰

9 month old, cockerpoo, Rolo came in to see nurse Sarah on Friday for his monthly weight check. After a few attempts and many treats, he demonstrated a perfect sit on the scales. 🐾⚖️

Tame the Trip to the Vet with These Tips!

Does the mere thought of whisking your furry feline to the vet send shivers down your spine? If vet visits stress you and your cat out, you're not alone. As your cat ages, regular vet check-ups become increasingly important. With a few tricks up your sleeve, you can transform those nerve-wracking trips into purr-fectly manageable outings.

Keep Calm: Cats are attuned to our emotions, so stay relaxed and soothe your kitty with soft words. Pre-travel playtime and affection work wonders for both of you!

Carrier Considerations: Select a cozy, spacious carrier with removable top and doors, and equip it with a non-slip mat topped by a soft blanket or towel. Encourage positive associations by keeping it open at home, while pheromone sprays can provide additional comfort.

Familiarity is Key: Acclimate your cat to the carrier by incorporating it into their routine. Let them nap or dine inside and add familiar scents to make it feel like home.

Skip the Snacks: Avoid feeding your cat for at least six hours before the journey to prevent tummy troubles.

Wrap & Cover: If your cat resists carrier entry, gently wrap them in a blanket before placing them inside. Keep the carrier covered with a familiar-smelling towel for added security.

Handle with Care: Keep the carrier flat on the floor, secured with padding to prevent sliding, to minimise jolts and bumps during transport.

With patience and preparation, you can turn dreaded vet visits into stress-free adventures for both you and your cherished cat companion.

**COVID-19 UPDATE**
From today the government are relaxing restrictions and masks are no longer a legal requirement however it has been recommended that masks are still worn in small enclosed environments especially when in contact with people you do not usually meet.

With this in mind we have decided that:
1. Masks are still to be worn when entering the building.
2. The door will remain locked and we ask that you continue to knock on the door or call from your car. You will then be advised on when it is time for you to come in.
3. Up to 2 people are able to attend an appointment with their pet but only 1 person may be allowed to enter the consulting room at a time.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our staff and clients safe in these times.

We would like to let all of our clients know that next door at Pets Corner, they are currently having some building work done, which is affecting the car park. We would suggest allowing some extra time before your appointment, where possible, in case a space is not available straight away. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
