🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now."

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊

You can make a difference...
👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications.
👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal.

Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet.

Let's – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts.

November is Pet Diabetes Month, and today is World Diabetes Day! 🐾💙

Did you know there are several signs of diabetes mellitus in dogs and cats? Look out for these symptoms:

🐶 Excessive thirst
🐱 Increased urination
🐶 Inappropriate urination
🐱 Weight loss
🐶 Increased appetite
🐱 Cataracts
🐶 Weakness
🐱 Lethargy
🐶 Poor skin condition

Pet obesity is a rising concern in the UK, and it often goes hand-in-hand with diabetes. Our team offers glucose testing through blood or urine samples to detect diabetes early. Additionally, our tests can check for elevated liver enzymes and electrolyte imbalances—both of which can be indicators of diabetes.

🦷 When was the last time you checked your pet's teeth?

Did you know that your pet's dental health is just as crucial as your own? Dental disease is a common issue for both dogs and cats, and it can impact their overall health more than you might think.

👃 Bad breath (that "doggy breath" isn't normal!)
🔴 Red or bleeding gums
🍽 Difficulty eating or chewing
💦 Excessive drooling
🦷 Loose or missing teeth
🟤 Teeth covered in tartar

If you spot any of these signs, it might be time for a dental check-up! A healthy mouth means a healthier, happier pet. 🐶🐱💖

Are you and your pet prepared for bonfire night? 🎆🎇🧨

Loud bangs, pops and bright flashing lights can be very stressful for pets and their owners, so we wanted to share a few measures you can put in place to help your pet, including a great pet playlist, which you can play to help distract your pet from the frightful fireworks.

While fireworks light up the skies, we advise you to:
🏠 Stay at home with your pet
💧 Ensure they have access to fresh water
🚪 Close curtains, blinds, windows and keep doors closed
🎪 Provide a safe space with bedding for your pet to snuggle in, and consider bringing small animals inside.

Classic FM, in collaboration with the RSPCA (England & Wales), has curated a list of pet classics and will host two special programmes between 5pm and 9pm — one tomorrow (02.11.2024) and another on Tuesday (05.11.2024).

While pumpkins are a popular seasonal treat and look fantastic when they have been carved and lit up, there are a few hidden risks for pets that every owner should be aware of.

Here's what to watch out for...

🎃 Raw pumpkin: It can upset your pet's stomach. Stick to plain, cooked pumpkins if you want to give them a treat.

🎃 Pumpkin seeds: Raw seeds are hard to digest and may cause blockages.

🎃 Spiced pumpkin foods: Pumpkin pies and treats often contain harmful ingredients like sugar, nutmeg, or cinnamon, which are dangerous for pets.

🎃 Pumpkin decorations: Be careful with lit jack-o'-lanterns - they can be a fire hazard if pets knock them over.

🎃 Candles: Jack-o'-lanterns with real candles pose a fire risk if your pet knocks them over. Opt for LED candles and keep them out of reach of curious pets.

Keep your pets safe this season by keeping pumpkins, especially spiced and decorative ones, out of their reach! 🍂🐕🐈

KEEP YOUR PET SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN 👻🎃👹

Halloween can be a ‘spooktacular’ time of year for many, but it can be a stressful experience for pets. Here are some helpful tips to keep your pets safe and happy during the Halloween season:

🐶 Spend time reassuring your pets if you plan to dress up for Halloween. Masks and makeup may be enjoyable for you, but your pets may find them scary if they don't recognise you.

🚪 With the constant opening and closing of doors for trick-or-treaters, ensure your pets are kept from potential escape routes. It's also important to have your pets micro-chipped in case the unexpected happens.

🎆 If bright lights or loud noises are anticipated, provide a safe and comfortable space for your pets to retreat to.

🍬 Keep sweet treats out of reach, including chocolate, sweets, and anything containing xylitol.

🎃 Decorations have become a big part of Halloween; however, curious pets can sometimes get into trouble with them. To ensure your pets stay safe, keep open flames, small decorative lights, and decorations out of their reach.

We hope you have a safe and 'fang-tastic' Halloween, but should you need us, we will be here for you and your pet.

🌙🛏️ Who else is looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend?

As we get ready for the clock change, it’s important to remember that our pets may need a little help adjusting, too! 🐶🐱

Dogs and cats thrive on routine, and while they don’t understand the time change, they can definitely feel its effects. Here are a few simple tips to ease them through the transition:

🐾 Shift bedtime gradually: Bring their bedtime forward a little each evening to prepare for the new schedule.

🌙 Walk your dog earlier: With darker evenings, an earlier walk can help them stay safe and adjust to the changing light.

🍽️ Adjust meal times: Gradually shift feeding times over the next few days so the change doesn’t feel too sudden.

🚗 Keep cats safe: With darker evenings, cats are more at risk on busy roads. Bring them indoors earlier to keep them safe.

If you have any questions or notice your pet struggling with the transition, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! 💙

Today is World Mental Health Day, a significant day to reflect on the importance of prioritising our mental well-being and supporting those around us to do the same.

One unique way to achieve this is by showing kindness, and there's nothing quite like the love we receive from our pets. Their unconditional love and support can work wonders for our mental health, making them invaluable companions in our journey towards well-being.

With 1 in 4 people experiencing mental health issues each year, caring for a pet can contribute to positive mental health in many ways, including:

💚 Providing companionship, security, and someone to spend time with
💚 Reducing anxiety and increasing self-confidence
💚Offering unconditional love and being great listeners
💚 Encouraging physical activity through daily walks or runs
💚 Facilitating social interaction with other pet owners
💚 Providing structure to the day with feeding, exercising, and caring for a pet
💚Elevating serotonin and dopamine levels through play leads to a calming and relaxing effect

Take some time today to prioritise your mental health by spending time with your pet. Enjoy the time you spend with them, taking your dog for a walk, cuddling with your cat, or giving your pet a stroke.
