Meet Baker
As many of you are aware, we have a beloved local resident 🐾 who visits our practice every day in search of some fuss and a cozy bed to nap in 🛏️.
He’s often seen at the front desk, happily greeting clients and patients alike 👋😊. With his growing fan club, we've decided to gather some of the best moments of his daily adventures 📸, and we’ll be sharing updates with you all along the way! 🎉🐶

🌍 This Week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), and this week's theme is "Educate. Advocate. Act now."
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global issue that affects both humans and animals. It's crucial to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics so they can continue to save lives when truly needed. 💊
You can make a difference...
👉 Check your cupboards and fridge for expired or unused pet medications.
👉 Bring any no-longer-needed veterinary medicines to our practice for safe disposal.
Together, we can help combat antibiotic resistance and safeguard the health of pets, people, and the planet.
Let's #KeepAntibioticsWorking – it's a collective effort, and every small step counts.

Did you know we have reached a significant milestone this year?
Earlier this year, our team members, with their walking boots on, stepped out to mark our 20th anniversary. 👟🏖️🚶🚶♂️🚶♀️
After first opening our doors in Swansea back in May 2004, some of our team members tackled a 20km walk in recognition of our 20th anniversary on Sunday 19 May.
Starting at our practice, we walked inland to Killay and along the stunning Mumbles coastline – all raising money for StreetVet, our chosen charity for 2024.
We had so much fun! 🥳

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.

This week is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), a global campaign that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance and the dangers it poses to both human and animal health.
It's critical that we preserve the effectiveness of our antibiotics for as long as possible, which can be achieved by only using them when necessary. The battle against antibiotic resistance is a collective effort, and we all have a role to play.
We’re going blue to raise awareness. Are you ready to do your part?
