🌾 BE AWARE FOR GRASS SEEDS 🌾

We are currently in full swing of grass seed season!

Meet Simba, who recently was a victim of these pesky grass seeds!

Simba’s owners brought him in for an appointment to see our vet Bianca about his constant head shaking. After a looking down Simba’s ear ca**l Bianca could see he had a grass seed in his ear, he was admitted and following a light sedation Bianca was able to remove Simba’s unwanted friend!! She went on to check his feet for any more seeds but luckily he just had the one.

Please be vigilant to check your pets over after taking them out for a walk as they like to hide in the fluff!

Stay tuned for the video of the grass seed coming out of the ear!!

🖤🐈‍⬛ BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY 🐈‍⬛🖤

Did you know black cats are the most challenging to find homes for in rescue centres? Some people believe this is because they represent bad luck.

Well we personally think you’re one of the lucky ones to have a black cat and we love them here at Vets4Pets.

Meet Jasper, he belongs to our wonderful nurse Josh, how stunning is he! Josh runs our in-house dental clinics and as you can see from Jasper’s pearly whites 🦷 Josh uses oral care products at home. To learn more about oral care for your pet book in a dental clinic with Josh!

✨ WAY TO GO HARRY ✨

Just wanting to give the lovely Harry a shout out for his amazing 3kg weight loss.

Harry started his weight loss journey with our nurse Olivia back in April. He has attended our weight loss clinics monthly until he has achieved his goal weight based on his body condition score and his exercise levels.

Harry started at 17.5kg and is now an amazing 14.5kg!

He’s now onto the maintenance plan to help stabilise his weight and will come in for weigh ins every 8 weeks.

46% of the UK’s pets are considered overweight or obese so if you don’t want your pet to be part of this statistic then get booked into our weight clinics now.

We are SO proud of you Harry! ✨🩷🐶

📋 NATIONAL BRING YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY 📋

Spud belongs to our lovely nurse Helen (left) and Roxy’s mum is our awesome vet Sandie. We were lucky enough to be able to share ‘bring your dog to work day’ with them.

But of course we didn’t let them off lightly, they were put straight to work doing a stock count of all the treats, unfortunately any broken ones had to be ‘disposed of’.

Post your photos in the comments of your pets at work!

🦷 HIDDEN FRACTURES 🦷

The beautiful Zoe came in for a dental procedure following a consultation with vet Nicola, in the consultation Nicola could see a large build up for plaque on Zoe’s teeth and recommend she came in for a dental scale under general anaesthetic.

Once Nicola cleaned up all the plaque from Zoe’s teeth she was able to see that one of the big molars had a fracture so was able to remove that tooth whilst Zoe was under general anaesthetic. Plaque can hide a multitude of problems in the mouth which is why it is so important to look after our pets teeth.

Zoe’s brilliant owners are now starting tooth brushing at home whilst using oral care supplements to help fight any build up of plaque on the teeth. Plaque can build up in as little as 5 days!!

Hope you enjoy the before and after photos as well as being able to see that pesky fracture.

To find out more about dental care please feel free to book one of the dental clinics that are available with nurse Josh!

‼️ CAT MICROCHIPPING - TRIGGER WARNING NEEDLES ‼️

Here we have the VERY brave boy that is Scooby who came in for his microchip. His owners did this to comply with the upcoming law that is being put in place.

We just wanted to show you how quick this is to do so if you’ve been worrying it’ll take too long this should hopefully show you it wont, blink and you might miss it!

If your cat isn’t already microchipped please feel free to call up and book in for this to be done by one of our nurses, its really important to us that we can reunite you with your furry friends if they get lost or brought in injured.

A BIG well done to Scooby!

LESS THAN 1 WEEK UNTIL THIS LAW IS LIVE, FINES OF UP TO £500 IF YOUR CAT DOES NOT HAVE A MICROCHIP - DON’T BE CAUGHT OUT!
