Don’t her pretty colours remind you of autumn?
🚨 Flea Alert! 🚨
As the weather cools down, our homes are warming up with central heating—and unfortunately, that creates the perfect environment for fleas to thrive. 🏠🐾
Fleas can cause discomfort and lead to more serious health issues like allergic reactions and tapeworm infections if left untreated.
🐜Why Choose Prescription Flea Treatments?
While over-the-counter products might seem convenient, prescription treatments are much more effective. They’re tailored to your pet’s needs, providing long-lasting protection and quicker results. Many prescription options also protect against ticks and other parasites!
🐜Protect Your Pets with Ease!
With the Medivet Healthcare Plan, you can get prescription flea treatments included as part of a comprehensive care package which can be spread over 12 monthly payments. This ensures your pet is protected all year round, with regular check-ups and preventive care—all at an affordable cost! 🐶🐱💚
On average a dog (who uses all the benefits) saves £337 and a cat saves £164!
Don’t wait for a flea infestation to happen. Speak to your local Medivet practice today to keep your pet safe and comfortable! 🌟 #FleaSeason #HealthyPets #MedivetCare #CentralHeating

Ziggy🧡
Nurse Charlie recently brought in her Ziggy for some laser treatment on his neck as she noticed a little wound that seemed to be bothering him ❤️🩹
As well as helping joint pain and osteoarthritis, k-laser therapy also promotes healing of wounds and surgical wounds by reducing inflammation and increasing micro-circulation💥
As you can see Ziggy didn’t notice the laser treatment as he was licking away at his favourite treat!😋

Today marks the start of Pet Diabetes Month
Diabetes mellitus is a common yet serious condition affecting cats and dogs of any age (but most commonly seen in middle age onwards, obesity and inactivity can also contribute to this condition.).
Diabetes is caused by a lack of (or resistance to) the hormone insulin. Insulin helps cells to take in glucose for energy, without insulin the glucose stays in the blood.
Common signs include:
Increase of drinking and urination
Excessive hunger
Weight loss
Stay tuned for later in the month where we will talk about treatment 💉
Here is lovely Leo who is one of our regular diabetic patients
🐛 Bug Identification Answer 🐛
This creepy crawly that we spotted under the microscope is actually a Harvest Mite!
🍁 As their name suggests, they tend to appear around the harvest time, late summer and autumn! 🍁
😡 These pesky beasts can cause itchiness, erythema (redness) and inflammation! 😡
Do not fear though, as long as your dog is regularly treated for fleas, worms and ticks, the harvest mites will want nothing to do with them!
