Reduced mobility
Heart and breathing issues
A shortened lifespan

Diet: Unlimited hay, fresh leafy greens, and just a small amount of pellets.
Activity: Provide a spacious cage and floor time to explore.
Monitoring: Regular weight and health checks to stay on track.

We are excited to host Pet Blood Bank again at our Maidstone branch on 1st February🐾

Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity that helps to save the lives of pets in need. It’s just like the human blood service, but for dogs! They run donation sessions across the country where owners bring their much loved dogs to give blood.

Based on a recent study, the age that dogs can safely donate to has been extended and dogs are now able to donate up until their 9th birthday!

Pet Blood Bank needs your help to ensure blood is always available. They are looking for large, happy, healthy, and confident dogs to come forward as blood donors to help save the lives of other dogs in need. To be a blood donor, your dog should be:

🐶Between the ages of 1 and 9
🐶Weigh over 25kg
🐶Fit and healthy Happy, confident, and enjoy meeting new people

If this sounds like your dog, head over to Pet Blood Bank’s website to register: https://pen.vet/RegisterNow

Important Update for Rabbit Owners🚨

There’s news about a highly contagious strain of Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD2) spreading across parts of Europe, including Hungary, France, Northern Italy, and the Netherlands. While it hasn’t reached the UK, staying informed and prepared is key!

💉 The Good News: A new vaccine covering both the "virulent" and "classical" strains of RVHD2 is on the horizon! However, it’s not widely available in the UK yet and won’t protect against RVHD1 or myxomatosis.

In the meantime, here’s how you can help keep your bunnies safe:
✅ Stick with the current vaccines to ensure they’re protected.
✅ Change outdoor footwear before coming inside to avoid bringing the virus into your home.
✅ Avoid foraging in areas frequented by wild rabbits.

We’ll update you as soon as the new vaccine becomes available and provide recommendations for the best vaccination schedules.

Want to be the first to know? Sign up for our priority list here: https://pennardvets.com/rvhd2-list/

Your rabbits’ health is our top priority! ❤️

As the temperatures drop, make sure that both dogs and cats are ready to weather the winter safely and comfortably. Cold weather brings unique challenges, but a little preparation can go a long way in keeping tails wagging and purrs going strong. Here’s how to winter-proof your furry companions:

🏠 Warm and Safe Living Spaces
Indoor Comfort is Key: Make sure they have a warm, draft-free spot to relax.
Outdoor Pets: If your pets spend time outside, ensure their shelter is insulated, raised off the ground, and protected from wind, rain, and snow. Add warm bedding and check it regularly for dampness.

🧥 Coats, Sweaters, & Paws
Bundle Up Dogs: Short-haired, young or elderly dogs may need a coat when going outside. Make sure it fits well and doesn’t restrict movement.
Paw Care for Dogs: Snow, ice, and road salt can be rough on paws. Use boots or pet-safe paw balm to protect their pads and check for ice balls after walks.
Cat Comfort: Make sure that outdoor cats have a safe and warm place to return to quickly.

🍖Nutrition & Hydration
Extra Calories: Pets may burn more energy in the winter, especially active dogs. Adjust their diet slightly if needed.
Fresh Water Always: For outdoor pets, check their water frequently to ensure it hasn’t iced over.

🐾Safe Outdoor Time
Limit Exposure: Frostbite and hypothermia are real risks for both dogs and cats. On very cold days, keep walks short and monitor for signs of discomfort, like shivering or lifting paws.
Visibility: Winter days are dark so use reflective gear or light-up collars for dogs. For cats, ensure they’re visible and microchipped if they roam outdoors.

🚨Watch for Warning Signs
Shivering, lethargy, whining, or a drop in appetite could indicate your pet is struggling with the cold. Contact us immediately if you notice these signs.

Have questions about your pet’s winter needs? Whether it’s picking the right gear, adjusting their diet, or ensuring their safety, our team is here to help. Give us a call or drop by the clinic—let’s make this winter cozy and joyful for your furry friends!

Stay warm!

Congratulations to our West Malling branch who have achieved a bronze, Cat Friendly Clinic award🌟 International Society of Feline Medicine

To achieve this, the branch has to meet strict criteria such as:
🐾The clinic must ensure cats are handled with appropriate gentleness and respect at all times, ensuring cat friendly principles are always adhered to during the care and restraint of cats.
🐾One member of staff as a ‘Cat Advocate’, to ensure the Cat Friendly Clinic criteria are adhered to, and to answer any questions cat owners may have.
🐾Cat-only appointment times for all routine appointments.

These achievements help to reduce stress during your cat's visit to us so that they can be treated without worry💙

Brrr, it’s cold out there! As temperatures drop, it’s essential to make sure our small furry friends—rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small furries—stay safe and comfortable. Cold weather can be tough on these sensitive animals, but with preparation, you can ensure they thrive all season long. Here are our top tips:

🏠 Warm Housing
Indoor Living:If possible, bring your pets indoors during the colder months. A well-ventilated but warm room is ideal.
Outdoor Huts: If they must stay outside, make sure their hutch is weatherproof, off the ground, and positioned away from wind and rain. Add extra insulation using pet-safe materials.
Cosy Bedding: Line their sleeping area with plenty of hay or straw to help them nestle in. Replace damp bedding regularly to keep it dry and warm.

🌡️ Temperature Check
Use a pet-safe heat pad under their bedding on particularly cold nights—but avoid electric blankets or anything they could chew.

🥦 Boost Their Diet
Extra Energy: Cold weather burns more calories, so give them plenty of hay and fresh veggies to maintain their energy levels.
Hydration: Check their water bottles or bowls frequently to ensure they’re not frozen. Use insulated covers or switch to ceramic bowls, which are less likely to crack in the cold.

🧹 Winter Proofing Habits
Exercise: Even in colder weather, your pets need space to stretch and play. Set up an enclosed play area to keep them active without exposing them to extreme temperatures.
Hygiene: Regularly check their feet and fur for signs of dampness or frostbite. A quick grooming session can also prevent mats in long-haired breeds that trap cold moisture.

❄️ Know the Signs of Cold Stress
If your furry friend seems lethargic, is shivering, or has a reduced appetite, they might be struggling with the cold. Don’t wait call us! We’re here to help keep your pets happy and healthy.

Our team is always here to chat about your small pets’ needs. Drop by, give us a call, or send us a message if you’re unsure how to winter-proof your little ones🐾
