🩸 Just like in human healthcare, our patients sometimes also need donated blood, and supplies are currently running low.

Your dog’s donation could provide lifesaving blood transfusions for other dogs across the country, and every unit of blood your dog donates can help save the lives of up to four other dogs across the UK. 🇬🇧🐾

To become a blood donor, your dog must:
✔️ Be fit and healthy
✔️ Be aged between 1-8 years old 🎂
✔️ Weigh more than 25kg ⚖️
✔️ Have a good temperament 🐶
✔️ Have never travelled abroad ✈️
✔️ Be vaccinated 💉
✔️ Not be on any medication 🚫💊

If your dog meets these criteria and you’d like to help save the lives of other dogs, sign up today via the Pet Blood Bank UK website >> www.petbloodbankuk.org 🐾🩸💙

This is the beautiful 14 year old Golden Retriever Bailey.
He has been coming to us most recently for some wound treatment and bandage placement due to an infected paw pad.

Bailey is the biggest gentleman and LOVES all the fuss (and treats) he gets from our staff while he is with us.

We wanted to show off his most recent bandage in which Nurse Jenny made some bandage art of Bailey! You can see his beautiful scarf that he wears to every appointment. You can also see how chilled he is getting cuddles from Nurse Gemma while Nurse Jade and Vet Hiren check his wound and place his bandage.

We absolutely love seeing Bailey and he is always really happy to see us too!

Ensuring your dog's safety while out for a walk is crucial. As this month is Walk Your Dog Month, here are some helpful tips to keep both you and your pet safe... 🐾

🦮 Make sure your dog is attached to a well-fitting harness and lead. A harness is often safer than a collar as it evenly distributes pressure and avoids strain on their neck.

✨If you're walking early in the morning, during the evening, or in low light, wear reflective gear such as a vest or a jacket with reflective strips, and make sure your dog has a light-up collar or reflective lead. This will help other pedestrians and drivers see you both.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Stick to quieter streets or parks with minimal traffic. High-traffic areas pose more risks to your dog's safety.

🐕 Always keep your dog on a lead when walking in areas where they might come across other dogs, wildlife, or traffic. If you do let your dog off the lead, make sure it's a safe, enclosed area where they can run free without any risks.

⚠️🚴‍♂️🐶 Keep a lookout for potential dangers, such as loose dogs, bicycles, or hazardous objects like broken glass. Awareness can prevent accidents.

🌞❄️ Exercise your responsibility and care by avoiding walking in the midday heat on hot days and on cold days and being mindful of your dog's paws and coat.

🌿🍄 Be cautious of plants and fungi your dog may sniff or eat during walks. Many common plants, such as lilies or foxgloves, can be toxic to dogs. If you're unsure, avoid letting them nibble or chew on unfamiliar plants.

💧 Bring water for both you and your dog, especially if you're walking for an extended time. Dehydration can cause serious issues, particularly on warm days.

🏞️🔥 Be mindful of rough terrain or hot pavements, as they can hurt your dog's paws.

🐕 Training will help your dog walk calmly by your side and obey commands, making it easier to keep them safe in busy or unpredictable situations.

By following these tips, you can ensure a safe, enjoyable walk for both you and your dog, no matter the weather or location. 🌦️

Did You Know? Walking your dog can boost their mental health!

Taking your dog for regular walks isn't just about exercise – it's a fantastic way to improve their mental well-being, too!

Here's how a walk can help them...

🌟 Reduces anxiety and stress: Walks help release mood-boosting endorphins, calming anxious dogs and easing stress.

🌟 Stimulates their mind: New sights, sounds, and smells keep your dog's brain engaged, preventing boredom and frustration.

🌟 Provides structure and routine: Regular walks create a sense of security and predictability for your dog.

🌟 Builds confidence: Exploring new environments and meeting new people or dogs helps your dog feel more secure and confident.

🌟 Enhances social skills: Walks are great for meeting other dogs and people, helping your dog become more socially comfortable.

🌟 Prevents behavioural issues: A mentally and physically active dog is less likely to develop undesirable behaviours like chewing or digging.

Walks are more than just a physical activity – they're a boost to your dog's happiness and mental health! Get outside and explore together this Walk Your Dog Month. 🐶💚

🐾 Boosts physical fitness and stamina

🎉🎄 Did you know? Christmas crackers can be dangerous for your pets! 🐾

While the bang of a cracker may be fun for us, most pets find it terrifying. But that’s not the only danger! After the pop, small prizes and debris can end up all over the floor—tempting curious dogs to pick them up and swallow them. 🤔

These tiny treasures may look harmless, but they can be a serious choking hazard or cause dangerous internal blockages. 🚫

🎁 Top tip: If you're cracking open those festive goodies, try to keep them out of reach from your pet and do a quick tidy-up afterwards to prevent any accidents.

🎄🐾 Thinking of sharing your leftovers with your pet? Think again!

The holiday season is all about sharing, but when it comes to food, remember: some treats can be harmful (or even life-threatening) for your pet!

While it’s tempting to give your canine companion or feline friend a taste of your delicious leftovers, certain foods can cause serious health issues.

Here’s what to avoid:
🚫 Toxic foods: Grapes, raisins, sultanas, currants, chocolate, alcohol, and onions can be dangerous (or deadly) to pets. If your pet eats any of these, contact us immediately!

🚫 Fatty foods: Sausages, crisps, and fatty leftovers (like potatoes cooked in duck or goose fat) can cause upset stomachs and digestive problems.

Instead, it's best to stick to your pet’s regular diet. Consider giving them a vet-approved treat to include them in the festive fun—without the risks! 🐾

The holiday season is full of joy, but it can also be a stressful time for your pets. With all the guests, decorations, and changes in routine, your pets may start to feel overwhelmed. 🐶😿

🍽️🚶‍♂️Maintain routines: Try to keep feeding and walking schedules consistent to help your pet feel more secure.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Introduce guests slowly: Some pets can be wary of strangers. If possible, let them meet guests gradually and always supervise interactions.

🕯️ Who doesn't love the warm glow of a scented Christmas candle? Not only do candles bring a cosy vibe to any room, but they also help set the festive mood. However, candles can be hazardous if you have a curious cat or a fearless dog at home.

To avoid the risk of accidents, injuries, burns and choking, keep candles at a safe distance from your pets and ensure that lit candles are supervised at all times.

Let’s enjoy the glow - safely! 🎅

Happy World Chocolate Day! 🍫 Although World Chocolate Day is a joyous occasion for chocolate enthusiasts, it's essential to be mindful that chocolate can be highly dangerous to pets, especially dogs and cats. 🐶😺 Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which are harmful to animals. The darker the chocolate, the more harmful it can be. Even small quantities can lead to serious health problems such as vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid breathing, elevated heart rate, and, in severe instances, seizures or, worse, death. By taking a few simple precautions, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable World Chocolate Day for all, including our pets. Here are some pet-friendly tips to consider: 🍫Keep chocolate out of reach: Store your tempting chocolates in secure containers or cabinets to prevent dogs from reaching them. 🍫 Educate friends and family: Inform your loved ones about the dangers of chocolate for dogs and ask them to keep chocolate products away from your dog. 🍫 Avoid sharing: Refrain from sharing chocolate with your pet, as even a small amount can be detrimental. 🍫 Stay alert: Be observant of signs of chocolate ingestion in your dog, such as restlessness, increased heart rate, vomiting, or diarrhoea. If you suspect your pet has consumed chocolate, contact your vet without delay. If you suspect your pet has ingested chocolate and is experiencing vomiting or any of these symptoms, please get in touch with us immediately. #WorldChocolateDay #PetHazards

N: NUTRITIONIST 🥫🐶😺🐰 Many patients come to us with a history of not eating, and it is our nurses' and Patient Care Assistants' job to get them eating again! Alongside their medical treatment, our nurses spend time and knowledge on getting our patients to eat. Whether this is hand feeding, trying different options, warming the food up or offering them their home favourite, it always brings so much joy when they eat with us for the first time! Long-term in-appetent patients may have a feeding tube placed, and all of our nurses are trained to use these. 📹 Here is a video of Reggie, a feline patient who was being fed using a feeding tube, eating a lick-e-lick for Registered Veterinary Nurse Jade! This was a fantastic moment that his owners got to witness, and it made everyone very happy. 😄 #ProudlyMaven #ProudlyLinnaeus #VNAM #VNAM2024 #WhatVNsDo #20YearsOfVNAM
