🐾🐶Senior September 🐱🐾

Since we missed a couple of days last week we have an extra treat today. These two lovely sisters came in for their monthly solensia injection.

Solensia helps manage osteoarthritis which is common in our senior pets. This monthly injection helps to improve mobility and comfort without the need for daily tablets!

If you have noticed your cat slowing down or being more hesitant to make jumps they used to easily make, come and have a chat with a member of the team.
