Surgery success story

We've had a young, male entire, black DSH cat brought into the Rutland Veterinary Centre - Market Harborough branch as a stray. He does not have a microchip. He is now at the Uppingham branch. If you are missing your cat of this description please phone us on 01572 822399 and speak to one of the team.

Yesterday we reunited another owner with their cat that had been missing for a year because she was microchipped and the details were up to date.

🕷🕸Happy Halloween 🕸🕷

Top Tips for Keeping Your Pet Happy and Safe This Halloween

🎃Ensure you walk your dog before it gets dark or consider engaging activities that can tire them out safely indoors, such as food toys, training sessions, or search games.
🎃Stick to your pets usual routine and prepare distractions to keep them content. Consider using a door or stair gate to separate your pet from the door if they are comfortable with this.
🎃It’s best to prevent your pet from greeting visitors, as trick-or-treaters are often unfamiliar children in costumes which can be confusing or frightening.
🎃If your pet is particularly anxious about visitors, consider placing a sign on your door that says, “Nervous pet. Please do not knock. Take treats from the box.” You can leave a box of sweets in your front garden for the children.
🎃Keep sweets and chocolate out of reach from your pets as these can be harmful if consumed.
🎃Ensure your pet has a comfortable and secure space to retreat to if they feel anxious. This could be their bed or crate, situated away from windows and the front door.
