Some top tips to keep your pets safe during this cold weather ❄️🥶

🐾 Wash & dry your pet’s feet following walks. Salt and chemicals used to grit roads/pavements can be an irritant to your pet’s pads.
🐾 Antifreeze is a major hazard during cold weather. Contact your vet immediately if your pet ingests even the smallest amount.
🐾 Outdoor cats may seek warmth near the heat of your vehicle engine. Make sure to check under your cars before you drive off.
🐾 Make sure your pet is wearing a collar and is microchipped! It can be disorienting for pets in snowy conditions so make sure your contact details are up to date in case they get lost.

If you have any questions or concerns, give us a call on 01858 465668! 📞🩵

It's time to get your faecal worm egg counts sent in and find out if your horse really needs that wormer!🪱🐴

Did you know?
• 70-80% of the parasite treatments are unnecessary using WEC?
• Targeted worming is proven to be cheaper!
• Over-worming causes wormers to become ineffective.
• Resistance to wormers is already widespread
• Over-worming is damaging to the environment

As part of our commitment to fight resistance to wormers in the UK, we recommend regular worm egg counts instead of the traditional process of worming horses at set intervals throughout the year.

A sample of faeces should be submitted to our laboratory 3-4 times a year during the grazing season (from spring to late autumn/early winter). Samples are examined under the microscope and the number of worm eggs present in the faeces is counted. This gives a good guide to assess the need for parasite treatment and which treatment would be better suited.

Your horse can be one of the 70-80% of horses that don’t need worming!

In addition to Faecal Worm Egg counts we have available the Equi-Sal saliva tapeworm test and redworm blood tests.

Please contact us on 01858 465668 and we will be happy to discuss your worming needs!
