✨ We’re Updating Our Computer System!✨

To help us continue providing the best care for you and your pets, our practice will be transitioning to a new computer system from next week. We’re excited about the improvements this change will bring—but like all new things, there may be a few bumps along the way.

🐾 We kindly ask for your patience as our team learns the new system and works through the transition. Appointments, check-outs, or record lookups may take a little longer than usual, but we promise we’re doing our very best to keep everything running smoothly.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting our team as we make this upgrade. 💛🐶🐱

🎆 Fireworks & Your Pets: Keeping Them Calm and Safe 🎇

Here are some tips to help your pets feel more comfortable during fireworks season:
🐾 Create a safe space – Set up a cosy area with their favourite blanket, bed, and toys. Close curtains and windows to muffle noise and flashes.
🔊 Soothing sounds – Play calming music, white noise, or keep the TV on to help mask the bangs.
🏠 Keep them indoors– Walk dogs before dark and ensure cats are inside well before fireworks start.
🆔 Double-check ID – Make sure microchips and ID tags are up to date, just in case your pet gets spooked and runs off.

🎃🐾 Halloween Safety Alert!🐾🎃

Here are a few quick tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween: 👻

🍬Keep sweets and chocolate out of reach – Chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) are toxic to pets.
🕸Watch those decorations – Glow sticks, candles, and fake cobwebs can be dangerous if chewed or swallowed.
🚪 Secure your pets– Trick-or-treaters mean lots of door opening; make sure your pets can’t slip out!

Let’s keep Halloween fun and safe for every member of the family — paws included!

🍂 Beware of Acorns! They’re Not Safe for Dogs 🍂

As the leaves fall, many of our walks are filled with crunchy acorns — but did you know these little nuts can be toxic to dogs? Acorns contain tannins, which can cause serious tummy upset, vomiting, diarrhoea, and even kidney or liver damage if eaten in large amounts. The hard shells can also pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages, especially in smaller dogs.

If your dog eats an acorn, call us right away — even a small amount can be risky. Watch for signs like vomiting, drooling, loss of appetite, or abdominal pain.

Stay safe this fall and enjoy the season without the acorn worries!

🍁🐾 📞 If you’re concerned your dog might’ve eaten an acorn, contact us on 1606 333450. We’re here to help!
