Try not to share your festive food with your pets this year. What may be delicious to us, can be harmful - there are hidden dangers. Raisins, grapes and sultanas can be toxic to your pets - so keep those mince pies out of reach. Even those greasy sausages can cause digestive upsets, especially when cooked in fat. And we all know that chocolate is toxic to our pets, so keep those yule logs away from inquisitive hungry mouths.
Enjoy your festive food, but keep your pets to their normal routine to avoid any upsets and dramas that could put an end to your festive fun.

We would like to thank all our amazing Hilltop Clients for entrusting us to take care of your beautiful pets over 2024.

Its Tick time of year!
Ticks are small, spider-like parasites that suck blood! They have eight legs and an egg-shaped body that fills with the blood they suck.
They hang out in woods and grassland throughout the year, so these are the areas where they can get onto you and your pet. Although they can’t jump, they still manage to get onto people and cling to dogs coats by climbing, dropping, or through direct contact. Its important to look out for ticks on your pet after walks during the warmer months.
If your dog has been bitten, you’ll usually see the tick on their skin as a lump - regular grooming can be a good way of checking for ticks, and is also a nice way to bond with your dog.
You won’t be able to stop your dogs picking up parasites, but regular checks of your dog after every walk and speaking to your vet about parasite control can help.
