Nothing ruins a lovely cuddle with your dog more than a big faceful of stinky breath. 🐶

One of the common causes is tooth and gum disease. Find out more about bad breath in dogs at: bit.ly/3ZswTd9

If your dog’s breath has you turning your head, it’s time for a dental check. Early detection of dental problems means fresher breath, a healthier mouth, and more pleasant cuddles with the family!

Until 31 August, dental check-ups are FREE with our
Summer Smiles promotion 🌞

⚠️⚠️Blue-green algae ⚠️⚠️ (also known as ‘cyanobacteria’), is a type of bacteria that can grow in stagnant/slow flowing water such as ponds, lakes, streams and flooded areas. It’s extremely dangerous because certain types release toxins which can cause organ failure, severe illness, and potentially death. If you see any signs of blue-green algae, don’t allow your dog to touch or drink the water.

When to contact your vet
Call your vet immediately if you your dog has been exposed to blue green algae - the sooner they get treatment the better their chance of survival.

First Aid
Don’t let your dog lick their fur, the more toxins they take in, the worse their poisoning will be
Rinse them with clean water as soon as possible
Call your vet

Symptoms include:

Excessive salivation
Rapid heart rate
Bright red gums and tongue
Weakness, confusion or collapse
If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, first call 999, then seek veterinary advice urgently.
