It’s National Pet Insurance Month.

As a pet owner, you want the best for your four-legged family. But what happens when they become unwell or injured? The costs of veterinary care can be overwhelming, depending on the severity of your pet’s condition, which is why insurance is recommended.

A common question frequently asked by pet owners, however, is, should you get pet insurance or just save? We previously wrote a blog that covers this in detail!

If you notice these symptoms within a few days of walking your dog in a wooded area, be sure to get them checked by your vet!

Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) is a little-known condition which tends to affect dogs in the autumn, in particular if their dog has been walked in an area such as a forest or woods.

The cause of SCI is at present unknown, but it can be fatal. So if you are enjoying an autumn walk, keep your eyes open for the following symptoms:

🍁Vomiting
🍁Abdominal pain
🍁Lethargy
🍁Diarrhoea
🍁Fever
🍁Muscle tremors

Please also be mindful that often, these symptoms are mistaken for pets eating something they shouldn’t, so it’s always worth getting checked by a vet.

Remember, with our health plan, you receive unlimited vet consultations! Visit: https://www.newtonclarkevet.com/our-plans/ to find out more.

Meet Amaia!

Amaia was born in beautiful northern Spain, where she studied to become a vet and then went on to gain experience in France and Barcelona before moving to the UK.

With a flair for languages (as well as veterinary skills!), we were thrilled when Amaia settled in Somerset and joined our team in 2018.
She adores dogs and cats equally, and in the last few years, has developed an interest in small animal ophthalmology. Whilst she is a key member of our small animal veterinary team, she also continues to develop her knowledge outside of work, keeping cattle and sheep with her husband, Jason.

Amaia also has two children, Jon and Nora, who keep her very busy, as well as two fantastic dogs, Poppy and the “old boy” Harry. Both are great working and loving family dogs. When Amaia, on the rare occasion, has some ‘downtime’, she loves to read and take in the beautiful British countryside and coastlines (weather permitting, of course!).

Cuteness incoming! 🥰 🐶

This gorgeous three-month-old Labrador is Ralph, who visited us yesterday for a general anaesthetic to remove a deciduous canine (baby tooth!). He was an absolute pleasure to look after and so incredibly well behaved for a puppy! Ralph even attended our staff training with us in the afternoon, until his owners came in to take him home.

Thanks for brightening our day, Ralph! 💕
