Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Wilma, a beautiful five-month-old Shih Tzu x who’s been attending our Puppy Club at Bath Road practice. 🐶💖

During her recent session, we worked on building Wilma’s confidence for when she visits our practice. She was such a star, allowing our Registered Veterinary Nurse, Helen, to examine her while she answered all her owner’s questions.

Afterwards, they even enjoyed some well-earned cuddles! 💕

🎉🎂 Happy 1st Birthday to our adorable patient, Blossom! 🌸

Yesterday, she came in for her post-operative check-up after her laparoscopic spay (Lap Spay), and we’re pleased to report that she’s recovering wonderfully!

Blossom underwent the Lap Spay procedure, which is a minimally invasive surgery that offers quicker healing, less pain, and a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional spaying. She’s been so well-behaved, took the procedure in her stride, and is bouncing back like a little star! ⭐

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

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 🐾🩸💙

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 that dental care is a crucial part of your dog’s overall health? Just like us, dogs need healthy teeth and gums to stay happy and active! 🐶💕

Why is it so important?

🦷 Regular dental care helps prevent painful dental issues and keeps your dog’s teeth happy and healthy.

💚 Poor dental hygiene can lead to other serious health problems, like heart and kidney disease. Keeping your pup’s teeth healthy means a healthier pup!

👃 Dental care doesn’t just keep teeth clean - it also helps freshen up your dog’s breath. No more stinky kisses! 😘

Here’s how you can help:

Brush those teeth! 🪥 Make brushing fun and part of your daily routine.
Chew toys to the rescue! 🦴 Help your dog clean their teeth while they play.

Dental treats: Your dog will love these tasty treats while keeping their mouth healthy! Just be sure not to overfeed, as too many treats can lead to obesity.

Check-ups: Keep an eye on their oral health with regular visits to our practice.

📸 Share your dog’s best “smile” in the comments below! 😁

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. 🐶💚

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
