It’s World Chocolate Day - so, the perfect excuse to indulge in a little sweet treat for ourselves, and also send a reminder of the danger chocolate poses to our pets!

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to our pets. So, if you’re making the most of World Chocolate Day, just make sure your sweet supply is stashed safely out of paws’ reach.

Worried your pet may have eaten chocolate? Call our team straight away.

Lovely Sparky and Beebee made themselves quite at home earlier this week when they visited us for an MOT and to join up to our Healthcare Plan!

It was so nice to see them so chilled out and relaxed during a vet visit, and it was our absolute pleasure to spend time with them ♥️🥰

We can never share these messages enough! This is a fantastic article, so please do give it a read.

And remember, missing a dog walk won't harm your dog; walking them during a heatwave, when they're unable to regulate their temperature in the same way we can, will.

Dogs die in hot cars and on hot walks. If in doubt, don't go out.

Heatwaves can be dangerous for our four-legged friends, so how can you keep yours safe?
