HAPPY INTERNATIONAL TERRIER DAY😆🐶

A breed that comes in many shapes and sizes, know for their loyalty and their huge personalities!

‘It sometimes takes days, even weeks, before a dog's nerves tire. In the case of terriers it can run into months.’

Give them some extra treats and love today 🤍🫶

It’s nearly time 🕰️ Make sure your pet is microchipped and details are all up to date! Appointments are available 🐈❤️

From 10 June 2024, cats in England will need to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they're 20 weeks old. You can be fined up to £500 if your dog or cat is not microchipped when they need to be! If you’re unsure if they are chipped we can check that for you too!

📅 The countdown is on – from 10 June 2024 all pet cats over 20 weeks old must be microchipped and registered on a compliant database.

🐾 Microchipping is the quickest and most effective way of ensuring lost pets can be identified. Animals that are microchipped are more than twice as likely to be reunited with their owners.

🐈 Read about Simba, who was reunited with his owner thanks to his microchip: https://www.cats.org.uk/mediacentre/pressreleases/around-25-million-cats-remain-unchipped-as-the-compulsory-microchipping-countdown-begins

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 ❤️

You may have received flowers as a gift, a beautiful addition to brighten up any room in our homes. However, did you know that some can be highly toxic to our furry companions!? 😮

There are a variety of flowers that can be dangerous for cats, including popular bunches such as lilies, daffodils, tulips, plus many more. Last year, Vets Now saw a 60% increase in flower ingestion in the two weeks leading up to February 14th. 💐

It's essential to be cautious and aware of which flowers can be a potential hazard to our pets; that's why we've put together a list here: https://bit.ly/3upPhaz

If you find that your cat has ingested any part of a flower, whether it be pollen, petals or even the water from the vase, seek veterinary advice immediately.

Hi I'm Emma. I'm the practice manager here at Tunbridge wells however, my role does vary and I am often found on reception and also out the back helping with the patients as even though my main role is admin I love getting stuck in! I have worked at companion care since it opened. I have a lot of my own pets at home so I understand how important it is to feel like they are in the best hands when they're unwell!🐱🐶❤️

Take a look at this amazing before and after of one of our routine scale and polish procedures! 🤯🦷

Dental health is so important to monitor in your pets as their discomfort can so often go undetected. If you think your pet may need a scale and polish or have any queries on pet dentistry please feel free to book in a consultation with one of our nurses and they will be able to advise you!

Please share so we can let his owners know

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚

Cookie visited Vets4Pets Harlow after her owner noticed her eyes had become cloudy and sore. Luckily, her owner had seen this before and knew she had to act quickly. Cookie had suffered from hay pokes, where bits of hay can scratch or pierce the eye. After being put under local anaesthetic, the team were able to remove the tiny pieces of hay and get Cookie feeling a lot more comfortable.

Well done to Cookie's owner, our team, and of course, Cookie💚

Meet Dexi, she visited Northampton Vets for Pets after she started retching and becoming restless. She was admitted for an x-ray which showed her stomach was twisted which can be life threatening. After emergency surgery, to untwist and stitch it back to the wall of her body, she was back to her normal self. Well done Dexi and team👏💚
