🎃 It's Nearly Halloween! 🎃

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and happy throughout tonights' activities.

👻 Sweets and Chocolates - Some sweets contain the sweetener Xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, Chocolate contains Theobromine, which is also highly toxic.

🎃 Care with lit candles and pumpkins, hot wax can cause nasty burns.

🦇 Make a den or safe space for your pet to escape to if it all gets too much for them.

🕷 Do not dress your pet up unless you are 100% sure they are happy and comfortable.

🎃 Be careful when trick or treaters come to your door. Be aware that people in fancy dress look confusing and a little scary to pets who are not used to it.

🦇 It may be best to keep your pet indoors or safe in another room to avoid them becoming frightened and bolting, especially if the door is open.

🕷 Make sure your pets id chip and collar id tag information is up to date and correct, just incase.

Wishing all our clients and patients a safe and Spooktacular Halloween! 👻

Huge welcome to Adela!
Adela joins our veterinary nursing team this week!
She started in veterinary practice 24 years ago, and worked with small animals for 8 years. After qualifying in 2008, she worked with exotic species until 2010, when at Marwell Zoo she established their onsite surgery.
She moved to Yorkshire in 2018 and has since been working in small animal practices, but still loves seeing any exotic pets.
She loves spending time with her 5 year old Jack Russell K’Ehleyr, her 52 year old spur thighed tortoise Garak and last but not least her husband Rob. She loves hiking and caravan holidays away.

☀️🌡Heat Stroke Alert!🌡☀️

Whilst the temperatures are high and we are enjoying finally having some Summer sunshine. Please don't underestimate the effect that the heat can have on our pets.

🐾 Walk dogs when the weather is coolest, first thing in the morning or in the evening is usually the cooler parts of the day. Keep walks short and less strenuous.
🐾 Brachycephalic (short nosed) breeds are most at risk - no matter how fit and healthy they are, as are the overweight, elderly and those with heart/lung issues.
🐾 Make sure they have access to plenty of water and a cool place to lay out of the sun.
🐾 Rabbits and Guinea pigs are vulnerable too so move hutches and runs into the shade and make sure they have access to plenty of water. Check water bottles regularly.
🐾 NEVER leave your pet in a hot car or conservatory.
🐾 Check the temperature of the footpath before taking your dog out for a walk (place your hand on the pavement and leave for 5 seconds, if you can't leave your hand there, it's too hot)
🐾 If you think your pet has heat stroke, move them to a cool place, use a fan, and cool (not cold) towels to lower body temperature. CALL A VET IMMEDIATELY!

🎄🎅 Potenial Hazards at Christmas 🎅

Christmas is upon us, which means food, family and festivities 🎅🏻

Whilst we’re all now getting into the festive mood, trees are up, getting the Christmas food shopping in and putting up the Christmas decorations, it’s important to be mindful of the potential hazards to our little furry friends and remember to keep them safe this Christmas time 🎁

Please take a moment to read our list of toxic plants and food to avoid this Christmas with your pet:

🍇 Grapes/ Sultanas/ Raisins
🍫 Chocolate
🎂 Christmas Cake
🐷 Pork fat, or other fatty meats
🧂 Salt - or very salty foods
🧅 Onions or Garlic
🥜 Walnuts/ Pistachio Nuts
🦴 Bones

All are toxic or can be harmful to your pet. If you think your pet has managed to eat anything they shouldn't have please contact us, as soon as possible to be treated.

🎄 Christmas Tree - Always keep a close eye on your pets around the tree, baubles, tinsel and other tree ornaments can be very tempting to a cheeky dog, and we have all seen a tree or two that has been toppled by an adventurous feline.
💡 Christmas Lights - Becoming tangled in trailing wire, or even having a little chew can cause a nasty shock or burns.
🪴 Christmas Poinsettia/ Holly/ Mistletoe - These festive plants are extremely toxic to animals. If you think your pet has ingested any one of these plants, please contact the practice as soon as possible for treatment.
🎁 Presents - Some pets just cannot wait until Christmas Day and like to take a sneaky peek at theirs, and everyone else's presents. Make sure any presents containing anything potentially harmful are stored out of reach.

We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄 ❄️
