From the 10th June it is now a legal requirement to microchip your cat.. including indoor cats.
This new law is great news and a big step forward for improving feline welfare👍🐱🐈
Microchipping is now a legal requirement, with fines of up to £500 for anyone who doesn't chip their cat before 20 weeks of age. But law aside, do we really ...
A little win today to finish the week off well..😀
Poor rescue chihuahua, Fudge suffers with separation anxiety and his family were worried about leaving him and his friend on their own for too long.
But patience and kindness always pays off, and after several months of regular social visits to allow him to familiarise with me and gain some confidence with my presence, we have made great progress!
Little Fudge has gone from a dog who literally barked in my face, was so nervous he wouldn't allow any touch to today's visit where he was at the door when I arrived, wagging his tail and bum, very pleased to see me and jumped straight on my lap when I sat down! 🙌
To have gained his trust without rushing the process feels good!
It's the small wins that count! 🥰
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Happy Thursday!
I hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather and looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend like my friend is here! 🐶🤪
We're almost there.. 🙌
I will be working this bank holiday weekend but hoping for some down time, catching up with friends and spending time with my own pets too! 🐾🐶😺
Have a lovely weekend!

What a handsome boy with the most stunning eyes!
Along with his friend, they had home pop in visits and were on their best behaviour 😇🥰
Who can relate?! 😹🪩💃🕺
This made me smile today after a very frustrating/painful/difficult week. Thanks to all my amazing clients who have shown understanding and support and I hope to be back with you soon 🩷

❌ Rabbits are not good pets for children & are most definitely not a good Easter gift ❌
Rabbits might look like a cuddly toy & therefore be attractive to children who see a cute, fluffy bunny and decide they want one. However the reality is that Rabbits are rarely cuddly and children often lose interest quickly.
When purchased as a gift for a child, rabbits are often left alone in a hutch at the end of the garden or even abandoned. This is why it’s important to educate yourself on their needs before committing.

Just when the blue sky briefly made an appearance recently and Spring seemed to be close in sight...👀
Think the Daffodils are regretting their decision to bloom !
Feels like the rain is never going to stop! 🙄☔💦🌧️
Beautiful Oscar! 😻
Handsome boy, just loves to pose! 🩵
Happy Friday everyone! 🙌

After a busy end to the year, I am looking forward to putting my feet up and taking some much needed time off from 22nd - 26th December ! 🥾🐾
I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting lots of new faces this year and love looking after your wonderful pets! 🐱🐕🐰🐤🐹
I know that it is never an easy decision finding someone you trust to look after your pets and home when you are away- thank you for entrusting their care to me! And your amazing feedback is what powers me on!
So on that note, as this week will surely whizz by in the run up to Christmas, I just want to say HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you all and best wishes for the coming year!

Sorry for the silence on here- it has been a busy few months looking after lots of pets! 😀
Two new faces joined The District Pet Nurse family and had home pop in visits while their pawrents enjoyed a long weekend away 🐱🐾
It was a little chilly outside ❄️ and was so lovely seeing them cuddled up together on the sofa in the warmth enjoying their own home comforts! 😻
How to give a Vet Nurse a lil' panic!
When you go to collect a dog for their lunchtime walk and a mince pie is staring at you on their bed 😳🥧
Oh no, has he busted into a pack of mince pies?! 😱
Thankfully, on closer inspection it was a soft toy....😅🫣
..my heart rate back in normal range? Check. ✅

'It's okay he's friendly'
➡️Dog Owner Etiquette
For some a dog walk is a time to switch off from the world and watch your canine companion get some physical and mental stimulation running, sniffing and exploring.
But for some owners dog walks can be fraught with anxiety. Why? Because off lead dogs are being allowed, without prior authorisation, to approach their dogs.
We all know that some dogs simply adore playing, and there is nothing more wonderful that those brief encounters with strangers on a walk when your playful pooch gets a chance to let off some steam and play. Chasing, rolling, play fighting. But this activity must be undertaken after first speaking to the owners.
No matter how kind and playful your dog is you must NOT allow them to approach others dogs (even if they are on or off lead).
There are a huge number of reasons for this:
🐩 In season
🐕 Sick or injured
🦮 Assistance dogs needing to concentrate
🐕🦺 In training
🐩 Nervous, anxious, fearful
🐕 Reactive or aggressive
What you need:
✅ Excellent recall before you let you dogs off. If not then you need to practice positive recall training, go to a rented dog field to let your dog blow off steam, use a lead or have them on a long training line.
✅ Always keep your dog in sight. You do not know what is round the corner. There could be children, livestock, vehicles, hazards or dogs that should not be approached.
✅ Watch out for a yellow warning.
Yellow Dog UK is an initiative when a yellow lead, bow, lead cover, coat can mean STAY AWAY. Please spread the word about this and be aware of your surroundings and mindful of others when walking your dogs.

Arrived at a home visit to the cutest little egg! 🥚🥹
So tiny! 🤏
Smaller than a cadburys mini egg and laid by a canary! 🐤🐤
(It was unfertilised and replaced with a faux egg so the canary could happily sit on the nest 🪺)
It's good to see people planning and going away on their Summer holidays this year 😎☀️🍦
I've had the pleasure of caring for lots of furry friends while their families are enjoying their time away - safe in the knowledge their pets are being looked after by an experienced RVN in the comfort of their own homes! 🏡🐾
Here are a small handful of pics from recent visits. 🥰
Couldn't help but feel a little proud of my little business when I received such an amazing review this weekend ! 🥹🙏
Feeling snoozy... 🥱
After a stroll and food, on a drizzly day, I think some snoozy time for my friend was in order! 💤 🐶🐾🥰
It's the weekend! After a busy run of weekends of late, it's nice to have a weekend off to relax..
Just like my friend here! 🐈⬛🐱🐾 Anyone for yoga?! 🧘♀️
"When I grow up, I want to be.....a dog!" 🐶
Some play time during my recent visits. Love this little fella 🩵
Welcome to The District Pet Nurse family, little one! 🩵🩵🐱
Cute as a button, energy levels through the roof (and an appetite to match! 😂) and at only 14 weeks old, already rules the roost!
So adorable and a real joy and pleasure to look after. See you again soon, little man!🐾

"What do you mean I can't have seconds?!" 🙀🐾
Love this photo I captured during a home care visit - post breakfast 🐟🍖and mid-yawn! 🥱
You don't have to be young and sprightly to enjoy your walks..
Our beautiful golden oldies can still enjoy their walks too 🐾
Yes, they may need to take it at a slower pace, on gentler terrain, with plenty of interesting sniffs along the way 👃 and time to stop and just take in the smells and sights around them 🍃🐦🐿️⛅ but that's what makes them special.
It always feels like meeting up with an old friend and putting the world to rights where we last left off on our walks together! 🌍😀🐾💕

Just because it's may be too hot outside for walkies ☀️🐾 doesn't mean the fun has to stop! I have a selection of interactive puzzle toys and licki mats which are a great way to keep my furry friends busy and entertained on our comfort break visits! 🐕🐶🐾 #thedistrictpetnurse #pawzler #lickimats #loutlincolnshire #petpopinvisits #veterinarynurse #doglife
'ere, where did my carrot go?!" 🥕 Two fluffy bunny friends who were cared for in their own home while their owners took some much needed time away 🏖️☀️ They had a lovely spacious indoor area with litter trays and plenty of room to hop, run, stretch, with tunnels, hiding places and branches to chew. It was lovely to see them displaying their natural behaviours and even a few happy hops (binkies!)🐰🐇😀 #thedistrictpetnurse #popinvisits #RVN #rabbitlife #louthlincolnshire #homecarevisits #rabbitcare
Spending some time this weekend hanging out with my friend Elmo 🐰💙
Some cute little friends I've been looking after recently.. Have to say, I do love Guinea Pigs! 💚 Such chatty little characters with the sweetest faces! Guinea pigs are highly social creatures so shouldn't be kept on their own. They are happiest with at least another guinea pig friend for company. If you have any questions about guinea pigs or other pets and their specific care needs I'm always happy to have a chat and help where I can! #thedistrictpetnurse #lincolnshirewolds #popinvisits #homevisitservice #registeredveterinarynurse #guineapiglife #guineapiglove
In April I posted about a handsome ginger rescue cat I had been looking after. Unfortunately, due to his past he was extremely timid, would hiss if I got too near him and preferred to hide out the way when I visited. I was determined we could build his trust up over time... ....fast forward a few months and after a lot of patience and kindness, look at him now! 😀😀 So rewarding to gain his trust and know he's much happier! 🐾😻 #thedistrictpetnurse #louthlincolnshire #veterinarynurse #petservices #ilovemyjob #homevisitservice #catsittingservice #happycatsonline #lincolnshirebusiness
Such a gorgeous girl! And the purrs say it all 🔊😻 A pleasure to look after! 💛 #thedistrictpetnurse #veterinarynurse #lincolnshirebusiness #louthlincolnshire #mobilepetcare #catsittingservice #happycathappylife
