Our team would like to extend our warmest wishes to you, your pets, and your loved ones for a happy and healthy Christmas.
#MerryChristmas #ChristmasWishes
🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now."
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊
You can make a difference...
👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications.
👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal.
Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet.
Let's #KeepAntibioticsWorking – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts.

Happy World Chocolate Day! 🍫
Although World Chocolate Day is a joyous occasion for chocolate enthusiasts, it's essential to be mindful that chocolate can be highly dangerous to pets, especially dogs and cats. 🐶😺
Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which are harmful to animals. The darker the chocolate, the more harmful it can be. Even small quantities can lead to serious health problems such as vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid breathing, elevated heart rate, and, in severe instances, seizures or, worse, death.
By taking a few simple precautions, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable World Chocolate Day for all, including our pets. Here are some pet-friendly tips to consider:
🍫Keep chocolate out of reach: Store your tempting chocolates in secure containers or cabinets to prevent dogs from reaching them.
🍫 Educate friends and family: Inform your loved ones about the dangers of chocolate for dogs and ask them to keep chocolate products away from your dog.
🍫 Avoid sharing: Refrain from sharing chocolate with your pet, as even a small amount can be detrimental.
🍫 Stay alert: Be observant of signs of chocolate ingestion in your dog, such as restlessness, increased heart rate, vomiting, or diarrhoea. If you suspect your pet has consumed chocolate, contact your vet without delay.
If you suspect your pet has ingested chocolate and is experiencing vomiting or any of these symptoms, please get in touch with us immediately.
