We know all of our animals are amazing, but has your pet gone above and beyond. Do you have an incredible story to tell?
We'd love to hear it, tell us in the comments...
There are a number of diseases that can cause nausea and vomiting in dogs, from life-threatening intoxications to something as harmless as motion sickness from car rides.
A frequent cause of sickness that often results in dramatic episodes of vomiting is scavenging behaviour, which is natural to dogs 🐶
Depending on its intensity, duration and cause, vomiting can result in severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which will affect all of your pets’ bodily functions.
So, what can you do in these situations? Watch our video to find out 👀
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 ⚠️
Scratching is a natural behaviour for cats 🐈 It is part of a cat’s instinct, and most people are not aware of this, but scratching is also a way to communicate with other cats. 🗨
This behaviour not only leaves a visible mark on the scratched surface, but it also leaves a scent for other cats to smell. Cat’s paws have scent glands, and through scratching, cats mark their territory.
The best way to prevent your pet from scratching your furniture at home is to provide an acceptable, inviting area for your cat to scratch instead. Does your cat have a scratch post? 🤔
