Why do cats knead
Why do cats knead❔
Kittens knead their mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow. If your cat kneads your lap during cuddles, it may indicate their connection from the secure bond with their mother to the bond they share with you.
And the more they knead, the more they love you! 💗

True or False
Registered veterinary nurses and student veterinary nurses are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. They are regulated by them in terms of their conduct and keeping up to date with training. The term veterinary nurse is a contentious conversation in the vet world as anyone can use this term, even if not qualified or registered.
Efforts have been made to change this, and we fully support this; our nursing team deserves to have their title protected and for pet owners to know your vet nurse is fully qualified to look after your beloved pet.
Registered vet nurses RVN and registered student nurses RSVN are always qualified and trained.

Most pets aren’t fans of fireworks and with firework season fast approaching, there is no harm in a bit of preparation! In the weeks leading up to firework season, you can try the tips below to help reduce their stress levels.
🎆Make sure your pet is microchipped and all their details are up to date, so that if they accidently get out of the house, they can be scanned and reunited with you promptly.
🎆Pheromone diffusers are a great way to ease your pet's anxiety levels, pop a few around the house a few weeks before firework season starts so that they can have the maximum effect for your pet, when it is needed.
🎆Depending on your pet's level of fear there are other supportive treatments we can recommend to help them. The earlier we talk about it, the more time we have to help your pet feel more comfortable.
