The handsome Titus, a 4 year old English Bulldog currently recovering (snoring) from his surgery. Titus had a grass seed embedded in his neck, which has now been removed.

Grass seeds have very sharp ends, so although they're tiny, if they become trapped in your dog's fur, they can burrow down and pierce their skin. They can also get stuck in your dog's paws, ears, eyes, or nose. If your dog becomes injured by a grass seed, it can be very painful. Please keep an eye out for these, especially after walks.

Have you ever heard a heartbeat? ❤️ When the heart muscle contracts to pump blood, it makes two distinct sounds – one from the contraction of the atriums, which send blood to the ventricles, and the other, of the ventricles, which send blood to the whole body. This happens over and over again to keep the blood flowing, between 60 and 160 times per minute in dogs! This is what we call the heart rate. A heart murmur occurs when a different sound join these two regular beats. This sound can be caused by turbulent blood flow due to a heart problem, changes in blood thickness or can have no apparent cause. A heart murmur is easy to hear on a physical exam using a stethoscope, and then we can determine the precise cause with a special ultrasound exam called an echocardiography. 🩺 Our routine health consultations are the best way to ensure your pet doesn't have a hidden heart problem, so schedule yours today!

Everyone meet Milo, the crazy Boarder Collie who just has so much energy and wants to say hi 👋 We hope this makes you smile this morning. He certainly was entertaining everyone yesterday in his vaccination consult.

When you see your dog having a seizure, this is understandably very distressing! 🐕🐾 In a second, they are ok, and the next, they seem to have lost control of their body. This is most often caused by idiopathic canine epilepsy, which means we don't what's causing the seizures. However, prompt treatment should be sought, as repetitive seizure activity might become an emergency. Please call us as soon as you suspect or see that your pet has had a seizure!

A recent law change has introduced mandatory microchipping for cats and owners will have until June 2024 to microchip their cats🐈 We feel this is an amazing step forward for the protection of our beloved feline family members as it helps pets who have been lost or stolen get reunited with their owners. Is your cat microchipped? If they aren’t yet, or if your contact information is outdated, don’t hesitate to schedule a visit with us!

What pet insurance can mean for you and your pet. 🩺 It truly is a privilege to own and care for a pet. However, you must consider the different costs when becoming a pet owner. Even when you have everything planned and budgeted, you cannot predict the future and any unexpected veterinary or pet-related costs that might arise.

Unneutered female dogs are at risk of womb infections due to the hormones produced during their normal reproductive cycle ♀️ 🐕 This is one of the reasons why we recommend that owners always consider neutering their pets, unless they are planning on breeding! If your pet isn’t neutered, keep an eye out for the signs in our video, and call us if you have any concerns. 📲

Do you have a pet first aid kit? Would you know what to do in an emergency? 🤔 These are vital questions for any pet owner! Take a look at our video and learn the basics of a well-stocked pet first aid kit 🩹 🐾 And if you find yourself facing an urgent situation, call us as soon as you see it so we can help you get your pet to us safely.

A good insurance plan for your pet is vital to make sure they are always protected in case of emergency situations but choosing the most adequate plan for you and your pet is not always easy! Check our video on how to choose the best policy for your pet 👇 Need help? We are here for you so don’t hesitate to contact us.

Captain Murphy has been out and about this week… We think he makes a great captain and is obviously having a fab time!!

A microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is inserted under your pet’s loose skin on the back of their neck to provide safe and permanent identification. If your pet is not microchipped, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Watching your pet have a seizure can be very frightening, and owners can be caught off guard when this happens. Fits can have different presentations ranging from localised tremors to pets losing consciousness, shaking uncontrollably, vocalising, and paddling. Afterwards, it is normal that they feel disoriented for a while. If your pet has a fit, please try to remain calm as this will be the only way you can help them.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a frequently diagnosed problem in cats, with overweight animals and those who don't exercise often seeming to be more at risk. As there are many conditions that can cause FLUTD, please talk to our team if you notice your cat is having problems urinating. Some of these, like complete urethral obstructions, are medical emergencies and can be fatal if left untreated ⚠️

Put your knowledge to the test with our video quiz! ✔️ Do you have an osteoarthritic pet? What works best to keep them pain-free? 🤔 There are several options to help us manage osteoarthritis in pets – talk to us if your pet is struggling! #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #pethealth #petadvice #vetadvice #preventivecare #bestcare #veterinarypractice

Cardiac disease in dogs is very common, especially in our golden oldies! ❤️ There are several causes for it, many of which get worse with age, the two most common being dilated cardiomyopathy and issues in the mitral valve. Keep an eye out for symptoms of heart disease, and if you feel your furry friend isn’t doing so well, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Deciding to neuter your pet can be challenging, as many factors influence this decision. It is important that you base your decision on reliable information, though, so we’re going to debunk some common myths associated with this procedure 👇

Dental disease can cause a lot of pain and discomfort to our pets, and it is estimated that more than 80% of cats and dogs over three years of age suffer from it. Fortunately, this can be prevented or treated! Cats often mask the signs of dental disease until they are in a lot of pain, so don’t miss these signs 👇
