I've been out and about with the lovely Gina today! She had a great time trotting about and watching the ducks 🦆

This week I had the pleasure of looking after lovely Ruby the Jack Russell. She enjoyed two drop-in visits and two walks throughout the week, making sure she got plenty of exercise and cuddles! ☺️

🐾 Building Trust, One Paw at a Time 🐾

When I first met Dylan in September, he was a very anxious boy. While I’ve been regularly walking his friends, Willow and Phoebe, Dylan wasn’t ready to join us. He would bark and hide, too nervous to come near me.

But with patience, time, and lots of treats, Dylan has come so far! From hiding behind the sofa to greeting me at the front door, he’s now comfortable enough to sit on my lap, relax, and even doze off.

This week, instead of braving the cold for walks, we’ve had indoor playtime and cuddles. Dylan has started licking my hand and even let me give him a little fuss – a huge step for him!

Next, we’ll work on getting him used to his harness so he can finally join Willow and Phoebe on our walks.

I’m so proud of Dylan’s progress and grateful to his humans for their trust 😊

If you have an anxious dog and are looking for support, I’d love to help your pup too!

I was shocked to read this today!

Please be super careful when purchasing pet products and nutraceuticals online. The safest option is always to buy direct from your veterinary practice, a UK based and VMD registered online pharmacy, or directly from the company itself.

Last day looking after this motley crew 🐾
They've all been on their best behaviour while their humans are away on holiday, apart from Rocky refusing to go back into his cage last night! We got there in the end after some bribery 😂

I'm looking for recommendations of local businesses that can help me create some branded workwear. If you know any companies that do high-quality work in this area and could provide quotes, I’d love to hear about them!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions 😊

Teeth Cleaning at the Groomers: Too Good to Be True?

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, with many owners seeking new ways to keep their pets’ teeth healthy to avoid potentially expensive vet bills. Lately, I’ve heard about groomers offering teeth cleaning services, but when I ask for details, owners are unsure of what’s involved. Below, I clarify some of the services offered, before advising how best to look after your pet’s teeth to keep them happy, healthy and pain-free.

1. Tooth Brushing: Like humans, daily tooth brushing is the gold standard for pets. Groomers may offer “teeth cleaning” that simply involves brushing your pet’s teeth during a session. However, brushing just once every 6-8 weeks won't prevent dental disease. It must be done daily or at least every other day to be effective.

2. Ultrasonic Toothbrushes: Some groomers offer “ultrasonic teeth cleaning,” using an ultrasonic toothbrush – a high-tech, electric toothbrush for pets. While this sounds fancy, it must be done frequently to maintain oral health, just like regular brushing.

3. Ultrasonic Scalers: Here’s where things get concerning. Some groomers offer “ultrasonic teeth cleaning” using an ultrasonic scaler. These devices should only be used by veterinary professionals with your pet under anaesthesia in a veterinary clinic. This is because:
🦷 A full oral exam can’t be performed without sedation/anaesthesia, so important diagnoses may be missed or delayed.
🦷 Effective cleaning, especially below the gum line, can be painful without anaesthesia. Damage can be done if your pet was to move, potentially leading to tooth loss.
🦷 It creates a false sense of security, as just removing visible tartar doesn’t mean your pet’s teeth are healthy.

So, What Should You Do?
For effective dental care, trust your vet. Regular brushing at home is the best preventative measure. Professional cleanings should always be performed by a vet or RVN under anaesthesia.

Feel free to reach out to me for dental health advice! As an RVN, I can:
⭐ Help with preventative home dental care
⭐ Advise when professional dental care is needed
⭐ Help recognise early signs of dental disease
