Our pets may be curious and like to sniff/lick/eat plants or trees so we thought we would share the toxic plants to look out for during Spring!🩵

You may not always see your pet ingesting a toxic plant, so you may not know until they show symptoms. Some symptoms of plant toxicity include:

🌼 Lethargy
🌼 Vomiting & Diarrhoea
🌼 Pale Gums
🌼 Tremors/Seizures
🌼 Excessive drooling
🌼 Struggling to breathe
🌼 Collapsing

‼️If you feel your pet has ingested any of these plants, please contact us!

With the UK being blessed with warm weather recently we thought we would remind you to never leave any pets in cars on warm days because this can be fatal for them‼️

Temperatures can rise very quickly, even if parked in the shade. Leaving a window open is not enough to prevent heat stroke!

Having a Name Tag on your pet is very important if your pet escapes.
Here’s an reminder on what information to include on your pets name tag:

🧍‍♀️ The owners name
🏠 The owners address & postcode
☎️The owner’s phone number for quick contact

🏷️ Don’t put your pets name on the tag!

Having a name tag on your pet is a legal requirement and has been for many years, this law came into place long before microchipping became compulsory.
Having a name tag has been designed for it to be easier & faster to get the pet back to their owner.

This is Monty the 7 year old Jack Russell, who is showing off his name tag! ❤️
