We understand that your pet's mobility and comfort are essential for their overall well-being. That's why we offer a comprehensive range of mobility services designed to keep your furry friends moving easily.

Pet insurance helps cover the costs of unexpected veterinary treatment for your pets, reimbursing a portion of the expenses for accidents, illnesses, and sometimes routine care.
You pay regular monthly or annual premiums and, after paying upfront for veterinary treatment you can submit a claim for reimbursement.
Coverage typically varies by plan, with options for accident-only, accident and illness, and comprehensive plans
Pet insurance offers financial protection and peace of mind but often excludes pre-existing conditions and has various limits, deductibles, and reimbursement levels.
Pet insurance can be a valuable investment for pet owners, especially those with breeds prone to certain conditions

Itโs the Summer Solstice and finally the sun has joined us ๐
Now that summer has arrived its time to be prepared and keep your pets ๐
Please donโt walk dogs in the heat of the day, they would much prefer a shady spot or some water to play in ๐ฆ
Keep small furries houses out of the direct sun and put frozen water bottles wrapped in towels in with them ๐ฐ
Dogs love a frozen licki mat or stuffed kong, which will also keep them entertained as well as cool when itโs too hot to walk ๐
Cats do love the heat so make sure they stay hydrated and offer extra water options, or even a drinking fountain. Also lighter coloured cats are prone to sunburn, especially on their ears and noses so they may need sun protection if you canโt keep them indoors ๐พ
Lastly never leave your dog unattended in a car, not even for a few minutes, as heatstroke can happen that quickly ๐ฅต
