⚠️ Blue-Green Algae Warning! ⚠️

☀️ With the hot weather, we’re seeing an increase in blue-green algae growth in ponds, lakes, and rivers.

🚫 This algae is highly toxic to dogs – even small amounts can make them critically ill or sadly prove fatal.
🚫 It often looks like green or blue scum on the surface of the water.
🚫 If your dog swims in or drinks contaminated water, symptoms can appear within minutes: Vomiting or diarrhoea, weakness or collapse, seizures, Breathing difficulties.

If you suspect your dog has been exposed, seek emergency veterinary help immediately. For when your usual clinic is closed, call us: London 0208 073 0500 & Manchester 0161 394 0942.

Please keep your pets safe by avoiding any water with algae present this bank holiday🐾

🐾 Meet Plop 🐾

Her name makes us smile every time we say it, but this little one has quite a story.

Plop was the only survivor of a stray litter found in the bushes of her family's garden 🥺. Recently, she started having some difficulties with her urination. After a visit from our wonderful vet Andrei, and some anti-inflammatories, Plop is now feeling much better! 💛

These days, she lives happily with her sister-from-another-mister Squash, who taught her how to be a kitten again.

We love hearing the names and stories behind the pets we meet - some are sweet, some are funny, and some are completely unique.

👉 What’s your pet’s name? Share it with us in the comments (photos encouraged 📸).

🐦 Found a baby bird? Not sure what to do?

Spring and summer often bring encounters with young wild birds — but the best thing you can do isn’t always what you might think. This brilliant flowchart from the RSPCA helps you figure out whether a bird needs help… or should just be left alone.

✨ Key points:
🔹 Fledglings (with feathers) are meant to be out of the nest – parents are usually close by!
🔹 Nestlings (no feathers) do need help – they can't survive on their own.
🔹 Never give food or water, and only handle birds if absolutely necessary.

🧤 Use gloves if you must move them, and always keep pets well away.

📲 For more info and helpful videos, visit rspca.org.uk/babybirds
📞 Or call the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999 if you're ever unsure about a wild bird.

🔴 EXTREME HEAT STROKE WARNING FOR DOGS – TEMPERATURES OVER 30°Cs THIS WEEKEND!! 🔴

With the extreme heat hitting the UK this weekend, we’re urging all pet parents to take extra care – dogs can suffer heat stroke in minutes, and it can be fatal without fast intervention. ⚠️Remember: A skipped walk is far better than a walk with a fatal outcome⚠️

🚨 What to watch for:
Heavy panting or rapid breathing

Lethargy, confusion, or collapse

Bright red or pale gums

Vomiting or diarrhoea

Seizures or unresponsiveness

🐾 How to help your dog stay safe:
✅ Walk early morning or late evening

✅ Always provide shade and fresh water

✅ NEVER leave your dog in a car — not even for a minute

✅ Avoid hot pavements — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws

⚠️ If you suspect heat stroke, act immediately:
Move your dog to a cool area

Offer cool (not cold) water

Continuously pour cool water over their body, especially armpits and groin (do not leave wet towels on them - this can have the opposite desired effect). Use a fan too if you have one.

Call a vet immediately!!

🆘 At Emergency Home Vet, we are on-call out-of-hours to come to you when your pet needs us most. If your dog is showing any signs of heat stroke, don’t wait — get in touch straight away.
📞 London (0208 073 0500) & Manchester (0161 394 0942)

Stay safe and keep your pups cool this weekend! 🐶💧

🎉 Celebrating 20 Years of Dedication! 🎉

Today we’re raising a huge cheer (and glass of coffee!) for our incredible triage Registered Veterinary Nurse, Tina, who is celebrating 20 years in the veterinary nursing profession! 🐾💚

With two decades of compassion, clinical excellence, and unwavering commitment to animals and their people, Tina is a true pillar of our team. Whether she’s providing calm, expert support over the phone or guiding owners through stressful moments with empathy and care, Tina’s impact is felt by every patient and person she helps.

Thank you, Tina, for everything you’ve brought to the profession and to Emergency Home Vet. Your knowledge, kindness, and dedication continue to inspire us every single day. 💫

Here’s to the past 20 years — and many more to come! 🥂🐶🐱

That's a wrap for Vet Nurse Awareness Month 2025! 🥳 We've loved shining a light on the incredible work our veterinary nurses do every single day.

Last but certainly not least, we're celebrating our amazing Head Nurse, Sarah, from Emergency Home Vet North West! Sarah is not only a phenomenal leader and a compassionate nurse, but she's also someone who truly embodies lifelong learning and a zest for life outside of work.

🧠Fun fact about Sarah: Beyond her incredible veterinary skills, Sarah is a woman of many talents and is always learning something new! Whether she's crushing it in CrossFit, tearing it up on the roller derby track, perfecting her nail art, or mastering riding motorbikes, she's constantly expanding her horizons. And if that wasn't enough, she's about to embark on a Certificate in Veterinary Leadership and Management! Talk about dedication! 🤩

Thank you, Sarah, for your unwavering commitment to our patients, your team, and to continuously developing yourself. You're an inspiration to us all! 🥰

And a huge thank you to all the vet nurses out there – you are the backbone of veterinary medicine, and we appreciate you more than words can say.🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

🌟 VNAM SPOTLIGHT: Chloe – Triage RVN, Calisthenics Whiz, and All-Round Legend 🌟

Chloe has been with us since day one - one of our most trusted and experienced RVNs, and a true cornerstone of our emergency team.

When the phone rings and a pet is in crisis, it’s often Chloe’s calm, confident voice you’ll hear first. She’s seriously cool as a cucumber, both in style and in her calm approach to helping stressed pet parents when they call. A triage pro, clinically sharp, and absolutely unflappable – the kind of nurse every team dreams of having!

💪 Outside of vet life, Chloe is seriously multitalented. She’s into calisthenics (she moves through handstands like she’s balancing a basket of kittens 🐱), travels the UK and Europe in her camper van, and has a voice as lovely as her guitar playing.

She brings compassion, capability, and cool-headed confidence to every emergency. Whether she’s stabilising patients or singing by the campfire, Chloe is a true force of nature, and we’re so lucky to have her! 🥰

🌟Next up in our celebration of the powerhouse triage nurses behind Emergency Home Vet… it’s Charlotte! Our Head Nurse & Director! 👑💚🌟

Charlotte is not only our Head Nurse of the London team, but she recently stepped into the role of Nurse Director too, and honestly, we don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s the calm in every storm, the glue that holds us all together, and the one who makes sure we’re running like a well-oiled (and well-caffeinated) machine.

☕ Essential fact: No team meeting starts without Charlotte’s tea. Gallons of it. Strong, hot, and always in hand - tea comes first.

📊 Bonus fact: Charlotte has a deep love for a well-structured spreadsheet. We joke about it, but secretly we all know her spreadsheets save lives (or at least save our sanity).

Whether she's checking in on every team member, solving 10 things at once, or reminding us all that we're stronger together - Charlotte is our tribe leader, our spreadsheet sorceress, and our tea-fuelled champion. 💪🐾

🌟 Meet the Second Star in Our RVN Spotlight Series! 🌟

We're continuing our celebration of the amazing triage Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) who keep the wheels turning behind the scenes during emergency calls. 💥🐾

Today’s feature: Margaux - one of our triage superheroes who we (sadly for us, but proudly!) say goodbye to at the end of this month, as she steps into an incredible new chapter… becoming a fully qualified vet! 🎉🩺

📚 Fun Fact: Margaux took German lessons in high school, but only remembers how to say:
➡️ “Ich habe nicht verstanden.”
➡️ “Könnten Sie das bitte wiederholen?”
(“I didn’t understand” and “Could you repeat that please?” — arguably the most useful phrases ever 😅)

Whether it’s coordinating chaos, supporting pet parents, or making sure our vets are ready to roll, Margaux has been a calm, clever, compassionate presence. We’re going to miss her - but we know she’s going to be an absolutely fantastic vet. 💚

Stay tuned as we continue shining a light on our incredible RVNs each week!

🐾 Meet Tina - Our Triage Queen! ☕💉

This Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, we’re introducing the amazing vet nurses behind the scenes, starting with the fabulous Tina! 👩‍⚕️✨

👉 She takes her coffee milky, no sugar – solid choice ☕
👉 She's left-handed (we love a creative mind!)
👉 She does her TICKS backwards – it drives everyone mad, but we secretly think it’s iconic 🤣✅
👉 AND she holds a Diploma in Pet Bereavement Counselling, offering comfort to families during their toughest goodbyes 🐾💔

Whether it’s quirky ticks or genuine compassion, Tina brings her own magic to the team every single day. Thank you Tina! 💙🐶🐱

🌟 May is Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month! 🌟

At Emergency Home Vet, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible work of our Registered Veterinary Nurses — the backbone of our service and the calm, compassionate voices behind our emergency phone lines.

Our amazing team of RVNs bring a wealth of knowledge, clinical experience, and empathy to every call. They provide expert advice, reassure worried pet owners, arrange emergency vet visits when needed, and support our vets out in the field like the true "mother hens" they are 💛

We quite simply couldn't run our service without them, and we wouldn't want to! We're so grateful for everything they do, day and night, to help pets in crisis and the humans who love them.

🐾 Throughout May, we’ll be introducing you to the brilliant nurses on our team — keep an eye on our socials to meet the faces behind the phones!
