🐾Socialisation🐾
True or False? 🤷♀️
"Your dog needs to play with dogs when they are young to prevent them from being reactive." 🚫
FACT CHECK: While letting your puppy interact with other dogs is crucial, it's not just about quantity, but QUALITY! Socialisation goes beyond playdates – it's about introducing them to a wide variety of safe dogs and to new experiences like novel objects, sounds, smells, and surfaces.
So why not just endless play with furry friends? Socialisation is a well-rounded approach and many older dogs will not want to play with them. Controlled and positive interactions with dogs, humans, and diverse environments are key.
Remember, it's about setting the stage and putting in the time for a well-adjusted, friendly companion.
Pro Tip: When seeking socialisation opportunities, look for trainers and vets promoting controlled and positive based learning in their classes. Your pup will learn how to focus and thrive in various situations
Gotta exercise those legs, but don’t forget about their brain 🧠
There are plenty of enriching toys out there to buy or you can make your own!
Make a rainy afternoon pass by a lot quicker, especially for our baby puppies who aren't allowed to go for walks yet.
Here is Hazel with behaviourist Rebecca showing a great example of how fun enrichment toys can be 😊

Cat cuddles are the best form of therapy 🥰
Elsa visited us recently for her spay; she spent the whole day demanding cuddles, of course we had to abide 😆

Wilfred has taken to recall training like a pro 💪
Our Puppy Preschool classes are run by both a Registered Veterinary Nurse and a Behaviourist. This means that you will receive advise on both behaviour/training as well as the medical side of things.
This is Gandalf the dwarf hamster 🤩
Gandalf lives with student nurse Rhianna, as you can see he has a brilliant set up. In his large enclosure there are lots of different substrates, hiding spots and toys for mental stimulation 😊
This lucky boy even has Christmas decorations 🎄
Many hamsters live in unsuitable conditions, whether the enclosure is too small or the wrong substrate is used. If you have any questions about looking after your hamster, contact the practice 🐹
Little Kiki was very excited to visit us 😆
Kiki came in for a routine weigh for flea and wormer; as you can tell she loved the attention 🐾
We try hard to make every visit a good experience for your pet; making sure they get lots of love and attention 🥰

Veterinary nursing is a multi-faceted job 💉

This is Bonzo 🥰
Bonzo was hospitalised with us for 2 days for Pancreatitis and reduced gut motility 🐾
During his stay he received IV fluid therapy and medication. He was regularly walked around the practice to encourage gut motility as well as mental stimulation; Bonzo loved saying hello to everyone 😊
How adorable are Willow and Misty 🥰
We work hard to ensure animals are as comfortable as possible in our practice; we have separate cat and dog kennels to ensure cats are not stressed by the noise and presence of the dogs !
We also give the cats 'cat castles' to give them a place to hide and feel secure.
These sisters came in for their spay procedures, they enjoyed cuddling in their cat castle; Misty helped to support her nervous sister 😀

With the new laws around XLBullys coming into place soon, here is our behaviourist Marta and her dog Bruce demonstrating how you can start Muzzle training with your dog 🐶
Muzzle training is useful for all breeds, especially nervous dogs that may require muzzling at the vets!
Remember to take things slow, this should be a fun experience for you and your dog and can be a brilliant bonding exercise 😊
