World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18 - 24 November

Stopping a course of antibiotics early - even if your pet seems better - can allow antibiotic-resistant bacteria to survive and multiply.
These resistant bacteria are harder to treat. 🦠
✅ Follow your vet’s instructions
✅ Complete the full course, even if symptoms improve
✅ Never save or share leftover antibiotics (you can return
them to us for safe disposal)

World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 18th - 24th November

Antibiotics are designed to fight bacterial infections - they have no effect on viruses or inflammation. Using antibiotics when they’re not needed can contribute
to antimicrobial resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
Your vet will carefully assess whether antibiotics are
necessary. If the illness is viral, other treatments may be
more appropriate.

🦠 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 🦠
Antibiotics are powerful tools - but when used incorrectly, bacteria can become
resistant, meaning infections become more challenging to treat. Antibiotic
resistant bacteria are an increasing problem worldwide, affecting both human
and animal health. Stay tuned for our upcoming posts. Throughout this week, we’ll share some important insights into antimicrobial resistance; what it is, why it matters, and how we can all help to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics. �

Arthritis isn’t just an old dog problem. Just like people, dogs can develop joint pain at any age.
Younger dogs may be at risk due to:
✅ Being overweight
✅ Hip or elbow dysplasia
✅ Injuries like fractures or cruciate ligament tears
✅ High-impact activities (e.g. flyball, agility)
✅ Breed type - especially large or giant breeds
To help you spot the signs early, we recommend the Dog Mobility App (DogMA) - a free, easy to use, scientifically validated tool from the University of Liverpool that helps you assess your dog’s mobility at home. 📲 Download DogMA today: bit.ly/4niMi9G Join the pack -because

Trick or treat - top tips for dogs
People dressed in costumes and unexpected knocks at the door can be confusing and scary for many dogs. Here are our Halloween top tips:
🎃 Be careful when opening the door so your dog doesn’t accidentally escape
👻 If your dog is really worried, consider a sign saying ‘nervous dog, please do not knock’. You could still leave treats out for children to help themselves
🍬 Keep human sweets and chocolate safely out of your dog’s reach
🧛 Keep dressing up for humans only. Costumes can feel restrictive and prevent your pet from communicating their discomfort

Maybe a stray turns up and never leaves. Maybe a friend asks you to “temporarily” look after theirs. Or maybe a kitten appears just when you weren’t looking.
It’s all part of what the internet calls the cat distribution system - a tongue-in-cheek way of describing how cats seem to end up exactly where they’re meant to be.

🍂 Autumn Parasite Alert! 🍂
As the seasons change, so do the risks to your pet’s health. Cooler, wetter weather can bring out parasites like harvest mites, fleas, ticks, and even lungworm in
dogs.
🔸 Harvest mites – tiny orange pests that cause itching and irritation, especially around paws and ears.
🔸 Fleas – love warm homes and can wake from dormancy when the heating goes on.
🔸 Ticks – found in grassy areas, they latch onto pets and feed on blood.
🔸 Lungworm – spread by slugs and snails, this serious parasite can be fatal if untreated.
✅ Regular flea, tick & worming treatments are your best defence.
💬 If you're unsure about your pet’s protection plan, speak to your vet.
Prevention is always better than cure! 🐾
