With Easter just round the corner you may well be stocking up on chocolate treats.🍫🍫🍩

Please remember to keep them well out of the reach of your pets as theobromine in chocolate is very toxic to dogs and cats. As a general rule, the darker the chocolate, the more cocoa solids/theobromine it will contain, and the more toxic it is.

If your pet has eaten chocolate please contact us for advice as soon as you can: 01603 743725

NEW CAT MICROCHIP LEGISLATION 🐈🐈‍⬛

New legislation to introduce compulsory cat microchipping was laid in Parliament on 13th March 2023.

The new rules mean cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database.

All owners must have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500.

If your cat or dog has a microchip, please ensure that your contact details are up-to date. Getting reunited with your pet relies on us being able to call you! ☎️

POULTRY KEEPERS
Here's the updated advice regarding bird flu. in our region.

06/10/2022

BIRD FLU 🦆🦉🐓🦢🦃

Avian influenza (bird flu) is a notifiable animal disease. If you suspect any type of avian influenza in poultry or captive birds you must report it immediately by calling the Defra Rural Services Helpline on: 03000 200 301.
Failure to do so is an offence.

Reporting dead wild birds

You should call the Defra helpline (03459 33 55 77) if you find:

one or more dead bird of prey or owl
3 or more dead gulls or wild waterfowl
(swans, geese and ducks)
5 or more dead birds of any species

Do not touch or pick up any dead or visibly sick birds that you find. For further information see our advice to the public.

It may not be seasonal but it's time to talk FIREWORKS!

We know it’s still a few months away and a lot of pet owners will dread this season but now is the time to prepare for the upcoming season with sound therapy.
How does sound therapy work? The idea is simple: if dogs can become familiar with firework noises, they won’t be as frightened of them. Aim to start sound therapy well in advance of Fireworks season – preferably in late August or early September.
Begin playing them for roughly an hour a night and at a very low volume. With each day, simply play the firework noises for a little while longer and on a slightly higher volume. If your dog displays unconscious awareness of the noises (ears twitching, eyes widening or head propping up) and then return to what they were doing before the noise started, treat this as a positive sign. Increase the volume and the length of session gradually.
Your pet will eventually get used to the noises and begin to associate them with their normal environment. If your pet reacts fearfully, stop the firework sounds for that night and begin again the next day on a lower volume. If the volume is already really low, try playing the sounds from another room.
Please note, if your dog already has an established fear of fireworks or loud noises, the process of sound therapy will take a lot longer and will more than likely require the help of a behaviourist.
