Pet Care has good connections with many rescue charities. One of them is New Hope Animal Rescue based in Herne Bay. They do an amazing job to try and save as many animals as they can and find them the perfect place to stay till they are ready to be rehomed or stay and live happily.

We were greatful to have the opportunity to visit them and volunteer for a day!

Our main job was to clean up the horses pasture and the pig's field, as you can see in the pictures, we had such a great time and lots of laughs, we had a blast!

We are so happy to have had this opportunity to look behind the scenes, make the horse and pig paddock clean for a day, and we definitely would like to do it again.

If you are in a position to be able to support New Hope Animal Rescue and their selfless, amazing work, there is a link to make a donation in the comments.

Thank you for supporting this great cause!

Pet Care’s Pet Of The Month🥇

This months dog of the month is Sallyanne Prosser who is 17 years old and has been through a fair few different procedures with us at Pet Care. Throughout all of her regular visits she remains happy and friendly and really is a model patient! She has wonderful owners that give her medication around the clock!🐾 🐶

This months cat of the month is Bobby Burn. Sadly, at the time of Bobby being chosen for this award he passed away at home. He was a 21 year old cat and we had been seeing him since 2004 when he was a kitten. We are all very fond of Bobby and send our sympathy to his owners at this sad time🐾 🐱

❗️Feline Panleukopenia Alert – Recent Outbreaks in the UK ❗️

We want to make our clients aware of recent confirmed outbreaks of Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV) in Birmingham and Manchester.

While these areas are currently affected, FPV is a highly contagious and resilient virus, capable of spreading via clothing, footwear, or vehicles which means outbreaks could potentially appear anywhere in the UK.

What is Feline Panleukopenia?
This is a serious and potentially life-threatening viral disease in cats.
Symptoms may include:
- Vomiting and diarrhoea
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy

Kittens infected before birth or at a very young age may show neurological signs such as wobbliness or poor coordination.

How can you protect your cat?
The FPV vaccine is highly effective, and vaccinated cats are very unlikely to become unwell.

However, any unvaccinated cats or those not vaccinated in the past 3 years are at risk and should be vaccinated as soon as possible.
If you're unsure of your cat’s vaccination status or would like to book a booster, please give us a call on 01322 346 173.

Pet Care’s Pet Of The Month🥇

This months dog of the month is Tilly Garrett who is a long term patient at the surgery, we have been her vets since she was young. She has been through major surgery with us but regardless of this she is always happy to see us. She has wonderful owners who are very dedicated. 🐾 🐶

This months cat of the month is Hazel Kempshall who is such a precious soul. Back in June Hazel required emergency surgery due to having an intussusception, causing a blockage in her intestines. We carried out the surgery late that evening and she then started her road to recovery. With her very supportive owners and strict medication plan, she has done so well! 🐾 🐱
