In my previous column, I accused veterinarians of ‘upselling’ remedies for profit, and I am sorry. Vets are lovely – but their corporate employers, not so much, writes Adrian Chiles

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

I love my trips out to the forest! I'm at Hyde war memorial hall the second Wednesday of every month (appointments only). I had to take the long way round to avoid flooding and drove past this gorgeous pair!

Happy Monday everyone!! This is Skye having a good roll around on the floor! Her gastrointestinal and bladder issues have improved immensely on the herbs that she is taking - and as you can see she's very happy about it! ☺️🐾

So many retrivers so little time....

It's great to socialise your pup/dog, be careful not to make it overwhelming - we kept Nellie on her lead and stuck to the edge of the group.

There are lots of FB groups for various geographical areas/ dog breeds. This was a Hampshire Golden retriever meet up - our first and it was great fun!

A shout out to all the dog owners/walkers out there! It's a rather wild and windy afternoon! Remember if you have any oldies make sure to keep them warm with a suitable coat and dry them off well once they are home.

Finally conventional vet's seem to be catching up regarding the environmental impact of parasitic control.

Warning sounded after research led by Imperial College London academics reveals parasiticide chemicals in urban waterways at levels that can be toxic to aquatic species.

We're excited to welcome Dr. Susan Andresier to the store this Saturday, 1st April. Susan will be on hand to talk to passing customers about holistic remedies for pets 🐶🐱

Susan is one of about 50 trained herbal vets in the UK, and we are fortunate to have her close at hand.

Between 11 am - 3 pm, Susan will be able to chat to customers about targeted herbal remedies and acupuncture. Susan will bring little sachets filled with calming herbs that make tea for humans or dogs.

She trained in acupuncture with the Association of Veterinary Acupuncturists (ABVA) in 2007 and used her acupuncture skills to help animals in general practice.

Come in on Saturday to learn more about these therapies and pick up some herbal tea.

When Fudge was poorly my youngest asked if she was going to die soon. She's 16 so the honest answer is that she probably will. It got me thinking about all the things she hasn't done or things she hasn't done for a long time and I've come up with a sort of bucket list.
Number 1 on the list is a Puppuchinno in the park!

Yesterday poor fudge was unwell. She had what is called nystagmus (often people describe this as 'flickering eyes'). There are several different causes and I have written a short overview on my blog https://www.acupaws.co.uk/blog

Murphy came to see me today, he has a problem with his paw and he has been so stressed out trying to nibble at it he hasn't been able to rest at all. As part of his treatment i dispensed a calming supplement - it seems to be working! 🐾

The other day my daughter was feeling a bit stressed about school work, so i went to one of my herb cupboards to get her some damask rose syrup. She asked me if it would taste bad (it doesn't). My husband was standing nearby and exclaimed 'anything that comes out of that cupboard tastes bad'! 🤣🤣. If you take liquid herbs what do you think of the taste? What do you do to make them taste nicer?
