In an extraordinary case of seriously missing your exit, Oona the puffin became very lost from the usual cliffs by the sea and ended up at Vets for Pets Hereford

It's believed Oona may have travelled as far as 110 miles from Skomer Island or Skokholm, before landing exhausted in the garden of a concerned member of the public, who brought her straight to their local vet. Weak from her adventures and underweight, Oona is being cared for by the team until she’s strong enough to be released back into the wild.

Head Vet Elliot, who is the locally-based owner of Vets for Pets Hereford, said, “We were surprised to say the least. Puffins never venture far inland unless they’re disoriented or have been blown off course. It’s likely she was returning to her nesting site in West Wales and lost her way. It was a full team effort, from diagnosis to feeding and nutrition; everyone brought their expertise to the table. Even though we’ve treated many exotics before including, lynx, meerkats and goshawks, this was our first puffin.”

When a lump on nine-year-old Bella’s leg started to rapidly grow, the team at Preston Capitol Vets4Pets knew it was a sign of something more serious.

Bella’s owners had first noticed the small lump in March and brought her into the practice to have it checked out. Unfortunately, a biopsy revealed it was an aggressive form of cancer, and it was recommended that Bella’s leg be removed to give her the best chance at a full recovery.

Owner Chloe said, “Bella is our family; we couldn’t have asked for a better dog for our children growing up. Every member of the team from reception staff to the vets at Vets for Pets made Bella feel special at every visit. We are so thankful to all the team. She has been so resilient through it all.”

Vet Emily, who performed the surgery, said: “We don’t take big surgeries like this lightly, but Bella’s fantastic owners have kept her in tip-top shape, so we were confident that it would give her the best chance. We couldn’t be prouder of her bravery and recovery — she truly is a superstar!”

Bodhi knows that nothing beats a refreshing drink of water on a hot day - especially when it's in a freezable bowl like this one from Pets at Home.

Ten-month-old Bodhi is a ragdoll, and with his long fur, he can struggle in hot weather. Thankfully, owner Emmer has lots of tricks to keep Bodhi cool. She said, “Along with the freezable bowl from Pets at Home, I’ve also got cool mats all around the house. He loves a Lick-e-lix treat, so I put some in the fridge to keep them nice and cool. Unlike other cats, he loves water and splashing around, so I lay out a tray of water with treats for him. This way, he gets his paws wet, which helps him stay cool.”

Seven-year-old Smudge has passed down his first-ever toy, a Pets at Home kicker, to his new kittens, who now enjoy it just as much as he did.

We asked you to share the first toy you got your pet, and owner Charlie told us about a kicker cat toy he originally got for his cat first cat Smudge seven years ago.

Charlie, who shops at Pets at Home Northampton, said, “The first toy bought for our first kitten, Smudge, was a Pets at Home kicker that was white and fluffy with feathers on one end. Smudge is now seven-year-old and still loves that same toy, as do our four new rescue kittens. We throw it in the air for them to catch and then they roll over and kick it. They also love throwing it around and sneaking up on it to hunt it.”

Three-year-old Milo is eager to show off his latest toy haul from Pets at Home.

Owner Amy, who shops at Pets at Home Handforth, says that “toys are everything to Milo”, so she makes sure that his toy box is always well stocked. She said, “Milo loves a variety of toy, from rope toys, to exploring with snuffle mats and solving burrow toys. He proudly parades around the room to show us when he’s had completed one. His current new favourite is his squeaky rugby ball. When we kick or throw it, he squeaks it non-stop on the way back like it’s part of the game. He’s totally obsessed!”

When Pets at Home customer Alison fractured her ankle, Maysie the Therapy dog. didn't leave her side until her husband arrived home.

Alison had fallen on the garden path while her husband was out walking their other dogs. After running back and forth to the gate, Maysie lay down next to Alison with her head on her leg until he returned. Alison has four rescue border collies and knows how important it is to give them a ‘job’, which is why clever Maisie has volunteered for Therapy Dogs Nationwide since 2018.

Alison said, “Border Collies are extremely intelligent and need a job. They absolutely love to assist you and love praise. Maysie will pick up things on the floor, close doors and empty the washing machine. She’s very good at knowing if someone is not feeling well or upset, and that's what makes her such a good therapy dog. We often visit Pets at Home with our four collie girls as it a great place to practice their socialising, plus they love the occasional treat!”

Four-month-old Vegas wasn’t sure about his paddling pool at first, but now owner Emma can’t keep him out of it.

Emma picked up the paddling pool from her local Pets at Home in preparation for the hot weather, but the dalmatian puppy didn’t feel confident to get in it at first. Emma said, “It was the first time Vegas had ever seen water that deep. I encouraged him by getting his favourite toy – some teething keys also from Pets at Home – and threw them in. He couldn’t resist and jumped straight in after them. Now he absolutely loves spending time in his pool; digging the water, throwing his toys in and jumping in and out.”

We are delighted to be spending today, Saturday and Sunday at PETS AT HOME East Kilbride! We are proud to have been adopted as their local pet food bank and are here to say hi, introduce ourselves and of course receive any donations you would like to share!

It’s such an important service for us to provide. Pets are our families and we love them so much. Very often a person who is alone with only a pet for family will use the food we give THEM to feed their pets first. 😢 This new initiative means we can look after their furry friends too!

PETS AT HOME will have this spot as a permanant donation point and we could not be more grateful.

Tomorrow and Sunday Tootsie the Pomeranian food bank mascot will also be here to see hello! 😊

Did you know we now have a community food donation point in our store? 💚

This weekend, we'll match all donations made to our Blue Cross UK pet food bank, so please donate your unopened pet food, or pick up an extra item when you’re shopping with us in store*
