🚨🚨🚨🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨 🚨🚨🚨
It appears the scam we reported last year has reared its head again. Please see our post from last year relating to unsolicited emails promoting pet owners to update their pets microchip details. Microchip details never expire! Petchip.info is not recognised by us (and potentially any other vets) as a genuine microchip. Their reviews can be found on Trustpilot

🔊🔊🔊SCAM ALERT🔊🔊🔊
We have been notified that there is an email circulating from a company called Petchip.info. The email suggests that you follow a link to update your pets details and pay a fee. This is a scam, information can be found and verified on Trustpilot. Please delete this email if you receive one. Please see the example that we have been kindly provided below, of course personal details have been omitted. If you have any concerns about your pets microchip, please contact the vet or business who implanted your pets chip OR the microchip company direct.

Seasonal Hazards! 🍂🌳🍄

As we start to enjoy crunchy-leaved autumn walks, it's important to be aware of some autumn related hazards to our furry friends:

🍂Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) - a rare condition that can affect dogs during the autumn months. Symptoms usually appear 1-3 days after a woodland walk. These symptoms can have many causes, but it's worth knowing that SCI is one possibility, even though it's thankfully very rare.

🍂 Acorn Toxicity- Acorns contain a chemical called tannins. These chemical compounds are poisonous to dogs as they irritate the digestive tract and can potentially affect the liver and kidneys in larger quantities, they also pose an obstruction risk in the intestine due to their large and hard shell.

🍂Conker Toxicity- Conkers contain a chemical called aesculin. The toxic compound aesculin is present in the whole conker and other parts of the horse chestnut tree, including the leaves and bark, they also pose an obstruction risk in the intestine due to their shape and size.

If you have any concerns regarding the health of your pet, please contact the practice for advice😊

Everyone meet Daisy! This little puppy was really brave for her first vaccination and health check with vet Kaitlin. As you can see it was difficult to take a photo of her sitting still without a treat!
We can't wait to see her grow up and have lots of puppy snuggles with the team 🐾🐶

This beautiful little lady is Dotty

Dotty came in yesterday for her FREE new pet check with our vet Anca and head nurse Gem.
Obviously we all had to have a sneaky cuddle as well. Dotty was super brave for her appointment, and we can’t wait to see her again in 3 weeks for her 2nd vaccine.

Did you know we offer a free of charge consultation to all new pets? Appointments can be made online at https://www.vetcollection.co.uk/west-midlands/county-vets-friarswood-veterinary-centre/
