🐱Meet Dolly and Nellie, two adorable kittens came in recently for their microchips. We couldn't resist snapping a photo and taking the opportunity to remind you that cat microchipping will soon become the law.

So if you've got a happy kitty that needs one, book sooner rather than later from only £15 when booking online.😸

🌟 Yes, rats can make great family pets. Renowned for their exceptional intelligence, curiosity, sociability, and interactivity. Despite misconceptions, they are remarkably clean animals, requiring relatively straightforward care and often benefiting from the company of another rat. They can be trained to respond to calls and learn tricks, they thrive with gentle handling and socialization from a young age, rarely exhibiting aggression unless provoked (caution is always advised when small children are involved with any pet, as supervision is key). Typically nocturnal but active during daylight hours as well, rats shed minimally and rarely trigger allergic reactions. Rats possess a penchant for chewing and have a knack for escaping, making their accommodations secure a priority.🐾
