Urgent Warning for Pet Owners ❗️

The UK Government has issued an alert about counterfeit Frontline Plus flea treatments being sold by online retailers. These fake products have been found to contain chemicals toxic to cats, potentially causing vomiting, seizures, and other serious neurological signs.

If you’ve purchased flea treatments online recently, check the source and packaging carefully. We strongly recommend you only buy your pet’s treatments directly through your vet or a licensed pharmacy.

For more details, please see the official warning from the UK Government:

If you're concerned your pet may have been affected, contact us immediately on 01322 346173.

Pet owners urged to be wary of dangerous fake treatments discovered on e-commerce sites.

❗️❗️ Found cat ❗️❗️

We have had a cat bought into us that was found on the industrial state on Fishers Way Belvedere.
The cat is around 1-2 years old, female, tabby and white in colour. No collar and no microchip. The cat was wearing a cat harness and does have some serious injuries that are being treated. We feel that the cat maybe owned due to wearing the harness.

Please get in contact with us on 01322 346 173 if you have any information or if you think that the cat could be yours!
