Having your teeth brushed is a strange experience, and many pets will panic if it is not introduced slowly and gently. It may take a month or two to reach a point of “proper brushing” – this is normal and nothing to worry about.

Blue Monday typically falls on the third Monday of January and is often considered the “saddest day of the year”.
Fortunately, we all know that our pets are great at cheering us up, and here’s how they can help raise your spirits this January:-

Studies show that interacting with pets—like stroking their fur or playing—releases oxytocin (the "feel-good" hormone) and lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

Walking a dog or playing with a cat keeps you active, which boosts endorphins and helps combat sadness or depression.
Pets are very intuitive, meaning they can sense when you are feeling down. Their comforting presence alone can be enough to soothe any feelings of stress, anxiety or sadness.

If your pet is overweight, the path to weight loss and a healthy happy pet isn’t always clear. Losing weight can be a challenging and lengthy process, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or confused by conflicting advice.
We are here to help with our weight clinics. Our veterinary nurses can help formulate a personalised plan for your pet, set achievable goals and help you with any setbacks.

With the cost of living increasing, you may be starting to feel the impact on your monthly budget and looking for ways to reduce outgoings.

Our animal companions are part of the family and provide immeasurable support during hard times, but
looking after their needs also contributes to monthly bills.

You may ask yourself if you can afford pet insurance, but when times are tough having the right pet insurance may actually help you manage costs more effectively

This is particularly important when antibiotics are being used. We should always give antibiotics for the shortest length of time required to achieve a cure, however if a longer course is required this should be continuous for them to be effective and create the least antimicrobial resistance.
Finishing a short course of antibiotics, seeing that symptoms recur, then restarting treatment is much less effective. This will usually require a longer total course of treatment (as bacteria will have multiplied again while treatment was not being given) and prove more expensive.

Sometimes a condition has improved but not resolved at the time of a recheck. Your vet will know what degree of improvement is expected in a particular timeframe and be able to decide whether your pet simply needs more time, or whether treatment plans need changing. If required, medication doses may be changed or additional medications can be prescribed. The earlier it is identified that a first-line treatment is insufficient for an individual case, the sooner we can intervene to achieve a cure in a timely and economic fashion.

Salt and grit used for de-icing roads can pose risks to a dog’s paws. It can irritate their paw pads, causing redness, cracking or peeling.

In an attempt to remove the salt, dogs may lick their paws, but this can lead to them ingesting chemicals that can upset their stomachs or cause more severe issues. Grit found on the roads sometimes causes micro-cuts and abrasions on paw pads, increasing the chance of infection.

Prevention and Care:
- Use dog boots to shield paws from salt and grit.
- Apply a paw wax or balm before walks to create a protective barrier.
- Rinse and wipe your dog’s paws with warm water and a soft cloth after walks.
- Check paws regularly for cuts or signs of irritation.
- Trim fur between paw pads to prevent ice and grit accumulation.
- First Aid for Irritated Paws:
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Apply a soothing paw balm or petroleum jelly.

If irritation persists or there are signs of infection (redness, swelling, limping), please call us to book an appointment. 01722 333291

The most common reason for a re-examination is to determine whether your pet is actually better. Some problems have an expected course of disease, such as kennel cough, so we may only request a recheck if your pet isn’t better in the usual timeframe.

For other conditions, it can be difficult to tell if they are better or not at home, for example an eye ulcer that needs special stain applying, an ear infection that requires examination with an otoscope or cytology performing, or a urinary tract infection that needs urine testing to check for blood or bacteria.
If we don’t identify that the condition is not resolved, the consequences can include ongoing pain or discomfort for your pet, increased cost overall, and sometimes even permanent damage to the affected body parts.

Oral health is a crucial, but often overlooked aspect of your pet's overall well-being. Just like humans, pets can experience a range of dental problems, which, if left untreated, can lead to more serious health complications.

January marks the beginning of Walk Your Dog Month, designed to encourage dog owners to be more active and ensure their pets get sufficient exercise. It highlights the importance of regular walks for a dog's physical and mental health whilst promoting a healthier lifestyle for pet owners too.

It will not come as a surprise that there are many benefits to regular dog walks:
- Physical Health: Prevents obesity and keeps dogs fit.
- Mental Stimulation: Outdoor walks provide sensory enrichment through smells, sights, and
sounds.
- Behaviour Improvement: Exercise can reduce boredom, destructive behaviour and anxiety.
- Bonding: Strengthens the relationship between owners and their pets.

Have you enjoyed many winter walks this season? ️Throughout January we will be sharing many
more pet care tips, so do keep an eye on our social media platforms

Overindulged during the holiday season? As many of us embark on New Year’s resolution diet and fitness regimes, lots of our pets would benefit from accompanying us. It is estimated that up to 65% of dogs and 50% of cats in the UK are obese.

Being overweight leaves pets at greater risk of conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and arthritis and studies have shown that it can dramatically reduce their overall life expectancy.

Here's how you scored us in December! 85/100%

Thank you for your wonderful comments:

“Rebecah was excellent with Bruce, he is a rescue dog and extremely nervous but she was very calm with him, and at the end of the consultation he went to her for a fuss. We have never seen him do this before.”

“The staff were so lovely and doted on my puppy. The vet was so kind with my puppy too. It makes all the difference as a first time puppy owner.”

“My cat liked the new vet Rebecca which means a lot”

“I am always really happy with my service at endells, but this being my first big expense and first scary moment when I thought I was going to lose my cat it was really important. I wasn't rushed with her, I was given tissues when I was upset and left in the room to speak to her to explain she had to stay and was invited back the same day to visit her, which is a lovely touch. I've never had a vet suggest I visit my pet before. I loved how much they stayed in contact with me so I always knew what was happening, even down to little things like making sure she was fed the same cat food. It made a bad experience much easier.”

“My two cats Eden and egg are always looked after well”

“Rebecca was very helpful and kind”

“None at the moment thankyou for great service”

“Always kind and friendly welcome “

As we move into the colder months of January and February, the chance of snow and ice increases and therefore you may find yourself heading out on a frosty dog walk more often than not! Check out our top tips below on keeping your dog safe when out and about in snow and ice.

Remember, if the weather is really bad and you don’t think it is safe to head out, then there is no harm in skipping the odd dog walk and playing games indoors with your canine buddy.
