Heatstroke in Dogs
It's going to be a hot one over the next couple of days! ☀️ Watch this short video below to familiarise yourself with the signs of heatstroke.
⚠️ Heatstroke can be fatal. Spotting the signs early and treating it quickly can improve your pet's chances of survival.
Best of all - we recommend taking sensible precautions to prevent heatstroke in the first place! This includes:
✔️ Going for a walk either first thing in the morning or later in the evening when the air temp is lower and the ground is cooler. If in doubt – skip the walk altogether.
✔️ Not leaving your pet alone in a hot area, such as a car - even for a short period of time.
✔️ Ensuring your pet has constant access to fresh water.
✔️ Making sure your pet has access to shade if outdoors.
✔️ Providing a damp towel for them to stretch out on = heaven.
It's not just dogs we need to be mindful of in hot weather. Cats, other small furries and feathered friends will benefit from being kept in the cool with easy access to water.
Remember, we're open Saturday & Sunday if you need us this weekend: https://www.thepetvet.co.uk/contact-us

Smelly pet breath
Let's face it, some of our pets have zero concept of personal space. And most of the time, we absolutely love it! However, if they have particularly pongy breath, this may cause problems (for your nose, at least) when they lean in a little closer...👃
Did you know pet breath shouldn't actually smell bad? By maintaining a good oral hygiene routine, you can keep suspicious smells at bay, as well as many other signs of dental disease. 🦷
During a dental health check, our team can examine your pet's teeth and spot any potential issues before they have a chance to develop into anything more serious (or expensive).
If you have any concerns about your pet's teeth, don't delay coming in to see our team!

Dog-friendly clinic
We're delighted to have become an accredited dog-friendly clinic, as assessed by Dogs Trust and the British Veterinary Behaviour Association! 🐶
This initiative helps to ensure the most comfortable veterinary care experience possible for dogs and their owners.
Many dogs find vet visits stressful, which can result in them being unwilling to enter clinics, being difficult to examine, and worried during treatment. The Dog Friendly Clinic scheme helps practice staff develop dog behaviour knowledge and skills so they can recognise and address early signs of anxiety and improve the welfare of dogs whilst in the clinic.
Through the scheme created by Dogs Trust and the BVBA, canine experts provide the tools for clinic staff to learn more about dog behaviour, including how pain and health conditions can be contributing factors to behaviour, and how to reduce the impact of visiting the vet for dogs.
