What to do on days you expect fireworks
Stay with your dog. Your pooch could panic if left alone. ...
Don't go out after dark. Make sure you're cosy inside and settled well before any fireworks start. ...
Give your dog any prescribed medication before fireworks start.
Check your house and garden are escape-proof.
Make sure to microchip cat by the 10th June.

πββ¬οΈπββ¬οΈπββ¬ UPDATE - TRIXIE HAS NOW BEEN REHOMED! THANK YOU FOR SHARINGοΈ πββ¬οΈπββ¬οΈπββ¬οΈ
πββ¬οΈ Gorgeous TRIXIE is still searching for her fur-ever home! πββ¬οΈ
Trixie is a sweet girl who enjoys a nicely gentle stroke.
She is microchipped and neutered already, which will save her new home a few pennies or unwanted litters!
She would be best suited to a house without other pets, and older children as she can be quite timid.
She really is a lovely girl who deserves a nice cosy sofa to curl up on.
If you are interested in rehoming Trixie, please call us on 01915493535 or email us at [email protected]!
Sadie is making us all wish this is how we had been delivered our morning coffee, this morning!
Sadie has been in for surgery today and is recovering well, and she seems to be enjoying being waited on hand and foot from her cosy bed!
π₯ SNUFFLE MATS π₯
Snuffle mats are a fantastic feeding option for so many species, including cats, dogs, rabbits, guineapigs etc!
With Snuffle Mats, food or treats can be hidden between the pieces of fabric, making our pets use their nose to sniff out their food, as perfectly demonstrated by gorgeous Ruger, belonging to our Nurse, Emma.
Again, this is excellent for encouraging our pets to work for their food, providing mental stimulation and therefore satisfaction after their meals.
But did you know, this can also be a great aid for those of our pets who need to shed a fed pounds?
All slow feeders, treat dispensers and Snuffle mats are a great aid when reducing food in our pets. If they are used to eating from a bowl, of course, this will go down quite quickly, meaning they are finished their meal long before they realise they are full.
Use of a slow feeder will slow their eating right down, so when their feed volume is reduced, they take much longer to eat, thus still feeling just as full at the end of the meal!
We have a range of Snuffle mats sold in our interactive toy section, so please check them out next time you're visiting us to see which would be best for any of your 4 legged friends!
