Meet Coco and her companion Dot. 🥰

Coco was here to see Registered Veterinary Nurse Natasha for her second vaccination. 👩‍⚕️ 💉

Coco was super bouncy and loved her chicken lick-e-mat, which distracted her from the injection. Dot was equally adorable and came along for moral support. 🐾

January is the perfect time to focus on your dog's physical health, and regular walks play a key role in keeping your canine companion fit and happy.

Here's how dog walking boosts their well-being:

🌟Regular walks help keep your dog's heart healthy and improve circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease.

🌟 Walking helps burn calories and maintain a healthy weight, preventing obesity and the health issues that come with it.

🌟 Consistent exercise strengthens muscles and supports joint flexibility, helping prevent stiffness and arthritis in older dogs.

🌟Walking helps boost your dog's stamina and energy levels, promoting overall vitality and an active lifestyle.

🌟 Regular walks can help regulate your dog's digestive system, preventing constipation and improving overall gut health.

This National Dog Walking Month, get out there and make walking a regular part of your dog's routine - it's an easy and fun way to promote their physical health! 🐶💚

Meet Poppy, a beautiful Quaker Parrot.❤️ 🦜

Poppy was here to see Veterinary Surgeon Pedro, for a beak trim. These should be regular procedures in birds with abnormal beak occlusion as this can impair the feeding behaviour of birds, predisposing to further disease.

Adorable Ozzy came to see Veterinary Surgeon Pedro, to have these oral lumps examined which turned out to be simply papilloma virus.

Just like in humans, there are a lot of strains of this virus but these lumps tend to develop during periods of low immunity and tend to be benign growths that disappear with time.

Papilloma virus is specific to each species so dogs cannot transmit it to humans. However it is importance to avoid sharing toys and water/food bowls with other dogs, to avoid transmission, alongside good hygiene habits.🐶🐾

🩸 Just like in human healthcare, our patients sometimes also need donated blood, and supplies are currently running low.

Your dog’s donation could provide lifesaving blood transfusions for other dogs across the country, and every unit of blood your dog donates can help save the lives of up to four other dogs across the UK. 🇬🇧🐾

To become a blood donor, your dog must:
✔️ Be fit and healthy
✔️ Be aged between 1-8 years old 🎂
✔️ Weigh more than 25kg ⚖️
✔️ Have a good temperament 🐶
✔️ Have never travelled abroad ✈️
✔️ Be vaccinated 💉
✔️ Not be on any medication 🚫💊

If your dog meets these criteria and you’d like to help save the lives of other dogs, sign up today via the Pet Blood Bank UK website >> www.petbloodbankuk.org 🐾🩸💙

Ensuring your dog's safety while out for a walk is crucial. As this month is Walk Your Dog Month, here are some helpful tips to keep both you and your pet safe... 🐾

🦮 Make sure your dog is attached to a well-fitting harness and lead. A harness is often safer than a collar as it evenly distributes pressure and avoids strain on their neck.

✨If you're walking early in the morning, during the evening, or in low light, wear reflective gear such as a vest or a jacket with reflective strips, and make sure your dog has a light-up collar or reflective lead. This will help other pedestrians and drivers see you both.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Stick to quieter streets or parks with minimal traffic. High-traffic areas pose more risks to your dog's safety.

🐕 Always keep your dog on a lead when walking in areas where they might come across other dogs, wildlife, or traffic. If you do let your dog off the lead, make sure it's a safe, enclosed area where they can run free without any risks.

⚠️🚴‍♂️🐶 Keep a lookout for potential dangers, such as loose dogs, bicycles, or hazardous objects like broken glass. Awareness can prevent accidents.

🌞❄️ Exercise your responsibility and care by avoiding walking in the midday heat on hot days and on cold days and being mindful of your dog's paws and coat.

🌿🍄 Be cautious of plants and fungi your dog may sniff or eat during walks. Many common plants, such as lilies or foxgloves, can be toxic to dogs. If you're unsure, avoid letting them nibble or chew on unfamiliar plants.

💧 Bring water for both you and your dog, especially if you're walking for an extended time. Dehydration can cause serious issues, particularly on warm days.

🏞️🔥 Be mindful of rough terrain or hot pavements, as they can hurt your dog's paws.

🐕 Training will help your dog walk calmly by your side and obey commands, making it easier to keep them safe in busy or unpredictable situations.

By following these tips, you can ensure a safe, enjoyable walk for both you and your dog, no matter the weather or location. 🌦️

Did you know that dental care is a crucial part of your dog’s overall health? Just like us, dogs need healthy teeth and gums to stay happy and active! 🐶💕

Why is it so important?

🦷 Regular dental care helps prevent painful dental issues and keeps your dog’s teeth happy and healthy.

💚 Poor dental hygiene can lead to other serious health problems, like heart and kidney disease. Keeping your pup’s teeth healthy means a healthier pup!

👃 Dental care doesn’t just keep teeth clean - it also helps freshen up your dog’s breath. No more stinky kisses! 😘

Here’s how you can help:

Brush those teeth! 🪥 Make brushing fun and part of your daily routine.
Chew toys to the rescue! 🦴 Help your dog clean their teeth while they play.

Dental treats: Your dog will love these tasty treats while keeping their mouth healthy! Just be sure not to overfeed, as too many treats can lead to obesity.

Check-ups: Keep an eye on their oral health with regular visits to our practice.

🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now." Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊 You can make a difference... 👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications. 👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal. Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet. Let's #KeepAntibioticsWorking – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts. #AMR #WAAW2024 #AntibioticAmnesty #PetHealth #ProtectOurFuture
