November is National Senior Pet Month!

Just like us, pets have changing health needs as they age, so it’s essential to give them the extra care and attention they deserve. Here are a few ways to help keep senior pets happy and comfortable:
🩺 Regular Vet Check-Ups: Wellness exams are crucial for early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and dental issues.
🍗 Balanced Nutrition: Older pets often need diet adjustments to support joint health, immune function, and weight management.
🐕 Gentle Exercise: While your senior pet may not be as active as they once were, regular gentle exercise is still essential to maintain mobility, muscle strength, and mental health. Short walks, indoor play, and low-impact activities are great options!
🏠 Comfort at Home: Senior pets benefit from cosy bedding, ramps for easier movement, and warm spaces in colder weather. Small changes in the home can make a big difference in their comfort.

Give your senior pet the best care possible this month—and every month! For advice call us on 01825 764268.

📢Pet supplement brand Lintbells has issued a warning about counterfeit versions of their popular product, YuMOVE, being sold on Amazon. These fake products, made to look very similar to YuMOVE, can pose serious health risks for dogs, as they lack quality control, may contain harmful ingredients, and don’t offer the joint health benefits of authentic YuMOVE.

Please check that you have purchased any Yumove from the platform’s official YuMOVE store or genuine retailer partners.
You can contact YuMOVE customer care team by email at [email protected] for further support and information.

Also please call us on 01825 764268 if you have any concerns about your dog.

While we may enjoy the bright lights and bangs, many of our pets find fireworks night stressful.

Here are a few tips to help keep your furry friends calm and safe:
🐾 Create a Safe Space: Set up a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet can retreat when they’re feeling scared.
🎶 Soothing Sounds: Drown out the loud bangs by playing calming music or keeping the TV on.
🐶 Comfort Your Pet: Stay close and offer reassurance, but avoid overreacting to their anxiety. Your calm presence helps!
🧸 Toys and Treats: Distract your pet with their favourite toy or a special treat to keep their mind off the noise.

If your pet gets extremely anxious, contact us for advice on 01825 764268.

Did you know that kennel cough is highly contagious and can affect your dog's respiratory health?

Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory infection that can affect dogs, especially in areas where dogs socialise, out walking, dog training, agility clubs, groomers….anywhere they meet another dog. It’s caused by a combination of bacteria and viruses, with symptoms that include a persistent, hacking cough, sneezing, and runny nose.
While most cases are mild, puppies, senior dogs, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of complications. The good news? You can protect your pup! 🐕
We offer a kennel cough vaccine with 50% off if done at the same time as routine vaccinatons.

If you are concerned about your dog then please do not hesitate to call us on 01825 764268
