This week is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), a global campaign that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance and the dangers it poses to both human and animal health.
It's critical that we preserve the effectiveness of our antibiotics for as long as possible, which can be achieved by only using them when necessary. The battle against antibiotic resistance is a collective effort, and we all have a role to play.
Weโre going blue to raise awareness. Are you ready to do your part?

The loud bangs and flashing lights of fireworks can be distressing for small animals. As Bonfire Night approaches, ensuring that your pets are well-prepared for the occasion is important. If you own small animals like rabbits or guinea pigs, here are some tips to help them remain calm and happy.
๐งถProvide extra bedding if your pet lives outdoors so they can burrow down and feel safe from any bright lights and loud noises. This will give them a comfortable and secure space to hide away from the excitement.
๐กConsider bringing your pet indoors for the night to shield them from the noise and commotion of the evening. Playing some relaxing music can also help to muffle the sound of fireworks and create a calming atmosphere.
๐ชIf your pet already lives indoors, close curtains and windows to dampen the sound of loud bangs and create a more peaceful environment.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

๐ ๐ฑ As autumn sets in and the nights grow longer, it's time to prepare for Bonfire Night. However, while fireworks bring us joy, they can be distressing for our feline friends.
As clever creatures, cats require extra care during this time. Here are some tips to help keep your cat safe and comfortable:
๐ Keep your cat indoors where possible and make sure they are microchipped
๐คซCreate a cosy and quiet space inside where they can relax and avoid the noise.
๐ฑConsider giving them calming treats or supplements to help them stay calm. A pheromone diffuser may also be beneficial, particularly to start using ahead of the celebration season.

February is Dental Awareness Month, so what better time to get your pet's teeth and mouth checked? ๐ฆท๐ถ๐ฑ
Pets' dental hygiene is sometimes overlooked. It's not normal for pets to have bad breath and dirty teeth, which are often signs of painful dental disease. Dental hygiene is as important to pets as it is to you, just like regular exercise, nutrition, preventative care and grooming, as it can affect their overall health.
We are offering up to 10%* off dental treatments for a limited period to help you keep on top of your pet's dental health.
For more information on dental care for your pet and to book an appointment, visit our website >> https://www.vet4life.co.uk/going-the-extra-smile
*Terms and conditions apply.

As we welcome 2023, we would like to wish all our clients and patients a very Happy New Year!
