We know fireworks season can be stressful and scary for pets, so here are some handy tips to ensure no sparks fly at home!

🎆Create a cosy den for your pets to retreat to
🎆Make sure your cat is indoors during darker hours so they can’t get spooked by loud noises
🎆Walk your dog before it gets dark
🎆Put on some music or the TV to help drown out the sound of any fireworks
🎆Keep curtains shut and windows closed to avoid any escapees
🎆For smaller animals, cover their hutches with blankets for extra soundproofing.

If your pet is particularly anxious at this time of year, there may be supplements we can prescribe to help! Call us to find out more

Did you know that the earliest evidence of a personified Christmas can be found in a 15th-century carol, in which a character called 'Sir Christëmas' shares the news of Christ's birth?

The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around A.D. 280 in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. The name Santa Claus evolved from Nick’s Dutch nickname, Sinter Klaas, a shortened form of Sint Nikolaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas)

Now we’ve taught you a little bit of Christmas pop trivia, we want to test your knowledge! Remember, we’re picking one person each day to win a Christmas treat, so, even if you’re unsure of the answer still give it a go.

In total, how many gifts were given in the “Twelve Days of Christmas”?
