With soaring temperatures this weekend, heatstroke in pets poses a real danger and can be fatal.

🐾 Never leave pets in hot cars or conservatories
🐕 Walk your dog early in the morning or late at night
💦 Keep them hydrated and cool

Watch for signs like heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, and collapse. If you suspect heatstroke in your pet, contact your vet immediately. Prevention is key, keep them cool, keep them safe.

This is perfect barbecue weather!

Here is some great advice from the PDSA. Please enjoy your barbecue, but keep your pets safely away from the noise and heat in the garden.

Also be aware that not all barbecue food is good for them. They can be fatty or undercooked. They may also contain bones and skewers.

If you think your pet has been affected by the heat or eaten something they shouldn't have, please call us on 01786 815560.

Today is National Kitten Day!

If you own one of these little furballs, most owners will say every day is kitten day!

The only downside is that they don't stay kittens very long. Before you know it they're an adult cat and you are their servant!

Do you have a kitten? Have you had a kitten in the past? We would love to see pictures of them so please share them with us.

Thank you

Update! He's now home with his family ❤️

We need your help to find this wee cat.

He has been missing from his home in New Road, Bannockburn since Wednesday 3rd July. He has recently moved to that area from Kings Park and the owner is worried he may be trying to make his way back there.

He is neutered and microchipped, although the details haven't been updated to the new address as yet.

If you see him, please call his owner on 07399 619219 or Bruceview on 01786 815560.

Its National Chocolate Day - a great for us humans with a sweet tooth, but not so good for your pets.

Enjoy your chocolate, but please keep the chocolates out of reach as they can be highly toxic for your cats and dogs.

Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine, similar to caffeine, which is poisonous to dogs. The darker the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains.
The effect and signs of chocolate poisoning in dogs also depends on the amount eaten and the size of the breed.

What are the main signs of chocolate poisoning in dogs?

1. Vomit
2. Suffer diarrhoea
3. Display restlessness and hyperactivity
4. Have rapid breathing
5. Muscle tension, incoordination
6. Increased heart rate
7. Suffer seizures

Please note symptoms typically occur between four and 24 hours after your dog has eaten chocolate, though assessment and treatment may be required immediately.

If you think your dog has ingested any chocolate, please call us right away on 01786 815560.

We have a lovely update!

Socks had been missing from his home in Cambusbarron and now, after 25 weeks away, Socks, is now safely back home with his family.

He had been visiting another family for a few weeks and they took him to be scanned for a microchip. Fortunately, he is chipped so he has been reunited with his family.

Great news♥️
