🦷 Dental month 🦷

Did you know we have some dental products available to purchase with our nurses.

In the front consult room we have some information about dental hygiene and products for dogs and cats, as well as treats, tooth brushes and tooth paste. If you would like to discuss anything with our nurses with regards to your pets teeth, please let us know and we can get you booked in.

If your pet is in with us for a dental this month, you will go away with a dental pack, to be able to care for your pets teeth at home.

What would you like to see available, so you can help keep your pets teeth clean and healthy? 🐝

Some of you may have seen before Christmas that our Vet Nurse Hannah, was leaving us to go travelling this year. Well, we have some great news, Hannah has decided that she wants to stay with us, rather than going off travelling.
What amazing news, we are so happy that Hannah has chosen to stay with us and we hope you are all too.

🌟STAR OF THE WEEK🌟

Our star of this week is Murphy. This handsome lad has been through a lot over the past few months having scans, an operation and lots of medication. He has worked his charm on the whole team and has become a firm favourite with his gentle kisses and tail wags.

It has been lovely to see him bouncing around and back to himself after giving everyone a bit of a scare.

His owners are so proud of how well he is doing and he is back to walks around the park and having fun 🐝

We are now posting some of our videos on Tik Tok.

Please let us know what you would like to see.

More information? A bit of fun?

Give us a follow and look if you can. 🐝

🦷Cat teeth problems🐱

It might surprise you that cats commonly suffer with disorders of the teeth, jaw and mouth. As cats are great at hiding signs of discomfort and pain, it can be difficult, as an owner, to see that your cat even has an issue. Your cat might appear happy and relaxed, and may even be eating and drinking normally.

Oral health issues can be a great source of suffering for our pets and cats often seem to be much more lively and content after treatment. Maintaining good oral health and keeping your cat’s teeth clean is likely to improve the quality of your cat’s life.

If you think your cat might be suffering, please give us a call on 0113 824 2700 to book in with one of our vets 🐝

It’s time to visit our practice because flea & tick protection has changed.

Have you asked our veterinary team about year-round protection against fleas and ticks? Flea and tick protection just got a lot more convenient.

We now offer a flea protection injectable that lasts 12 months for dogs!

If you are on our healthy Hive club this is included!

DENTAL MONTH 🦷

How to brush your dog’s teeth

It's best to get your dog comfortable with having their teeth brushed from an early age. Whenever you're ready to begin training, make sure your dog is relaxed. Take it slowly and keep sessions short. End the sessions on a good note and stop while your dog is still happy. The steps below should be done over a period of time. This is to avoid overwhelming your dog.

Stroke your dog's cheek gently back and forth. This helps them get used to your hand being by their mouth. Try stroking their cheek at different times for two or three days before moving on.
Dab a bit of toothpaste on your finger. Allow your dog to sniff and lick it off.
When your dog has shown they enjoy the toothpaste, start to run your finger along the inside of their mouth, following the gum line. Again, practice this little and often for a few days.
When your dog is comfortable with you doing this, you can introduce them to the toothbrush. Dab some toothpaste on the brush and allow them to lick it off. Do not put the brush in their mouth right away.
When they're comfortable licking the toothbrush, you can gently start to brush their teeth. Focus on the front teeth first, with small, round motions. Stop regularly to let them lick the brush.
Once you're able to brush the front teeth and the canines, you can move onto the back teeth. Repeat the stopping and starting process.
After a couple of weeks you should be able to gently brush your dog’s teeth without any fuss. If you can, try to focus brushing where the teeth meet the gum.
