The higher the cocoa content, the higher the risk of poisoning.

Chocolate contains a key ingredient called theobromine – which is very bad for dogs.

It also depends on the size of the dog, and how much chocolate the dog has consumed. As the same amount could make your average Labrador feel a bit yuk but can be life threatening to a Chihuahua.

Meet the lovely Beti who came in for her midline Spey. As Beti is a ragdoll midline Speys are often preferred as they have a temperature-sensitive coat, meaning their fur colour is affected by skin temperature. Therefore the fur can grow back a darker colour if shaved. Beti was so brave and recovered like the Queen she is.

Ticked Off About Ticks? Here’s How to Keep Them Off Your Pets!

Ticks might be tiny, but they can cause problems for our furry friends! These pesky parasites love to latch onto your pet and can even pass on diseases, but with regular checks and prevention, you can keep them tick-free🐾

Top Tips for Tick Prevention:
✔️ Use vet-recommended tick preventatives
✔️ Check your pet after outdoor adventure - don’t forget behind the ears and between the toes
✔️ Keep your garden tidy to reduce tick hotspots

If you find a tick, don’t panic - remove it carefully with a tick remover and contact your vet if you’re unsure.

Springtime Dangers to Watch Out For!
Spring is in full bloom, but did you know it can also bring hidden hazards for your pets?

🍫Easter eggs & hot cross buns: Tempting for pets, but toxic if ingested!
🪴 plants: Plants like lilies, tulips, and daffodils can be harmful to curious nibblers
⚠️ Outdoor hazards: Fertilizers, garden chemicals, and slug bait are all no-go zones
🐜 Fleas & ticks: These pesky critters love the warmer weather, so ask us about protecting your pet.
🤧 Allergies: Just like us, pets can suffer from spring allergies too. Watch for sneezing, itching, or watery eyes!

If you think your pet has eaten or been exposed to any of these toxins or hazards, don’t wait - contact us right away. Acting fast can make all the difference!

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often symptomless in cats, which is why it’s so dangerous.

It’s most common in older cats or those with conditions like kidney disease or hyperthyroidism (when the cat’s thyroid
glands produce too much hormone).

Regular blood pressure checks can help us
catch it early, avoiding issues like sudden
blindness or damage to vital organs.

Let’s stay one step ahead - book their
senior check today!
