Gibson & Jones Vets are proudly supporting Cats Protection and their local Abertawe branch as they launch their new and improved neutering scheme, focused on reaching those cats most in need.
Cats Protection have for many years supported the local community in neutering their cats. It is important to neuter cats for many reasons, especially if they like to explore their garden and local area. Neutering your cat can not only prevent unwanted pregnancies but also reduces the risk of cat fights leading to injury and the spread of feline diseases.
To find out if you and your cat are eligible for the neutering scheme, please email [email protected] or telephone the Abertawe Cats Protection branch on 0300 012 0291.
For more information about the Cats Protection neutering scheme, please visit www.cats.org.uk, alternatively, please contact one of our surgeries where a member of our team will be happy to help.

๐ซ๐ถ Chocolate Toxicity ๐ถ๐ซ
Why is chocolate toxic to dogs? ๐ค
Chocolate contains theobromine, which is a chemical that is similar to caffeine. Dogs are particularly sensitive to theobromine, and it can be poisonous to them. Darker and more expensive chocolates usually have more theobromine and are more likely to be harmful to dogs.
Theobromine can make dogs unwell in a number of different ways, but its main effect is to cause an overstimulation of their muscles, including their heart.
Other symptoms can include:
โ ๏ธ Vomiting
โ ๏ธ Diahorrea
โ ๏ธ Increased thirst and urination
โ
Remember to keep all chocolate eggs safely away from your dog this Easter ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฃ
