Give your pet a stress free Christmas
As the dark nights draw in and we wind down towards a well-earned break, we
often look forward to a break in routine to let us reset.
The same can’t be said for our pets, however, and often the things we enjoy most
about the festive period can cause stress and worry for our furry family members.
Check out our advice on helping your pet to have a stress free Christmas here:

Lots of lovely Christmas decks going up this week!

Christmas Dec Dangers:

Over-indulgence is commonplace over the holidays, and while we can decide whether we really need a bit more cake, our pets will often accept whatever’s on offer.
However, some foods we have around at Christmas pose significantly more danger than an upset stomach; so it’s important to keep them out of paws reach!

For further information:
https://www.vetcollection.co.uk/health/keeping-pets-safe-at-christmas

If you are concerned about your pet over the festive period and need to see a vet, please call us on: 01403 252900.

There are lots of new things in the house at Christmas; decorations, wrapping paper, new toys and lots of boxes to play in.
Unfortunately, some things around the house can pose more risk than others, check out our list of pet festive risks around the house below.

Follow a few simple guidelines to make sure your pets are protected from festive hazards and can enjoy the holidays with you.

Shopping for pet insurance can be really challenging and confusing! There is so much to consider and making the right decision first time is key to having the best
protection for your pet.
Remember not all pet insurance is the same so it is a good idea to check the cover provided and ask if you will be paying more for claiming.

You may receive an email from Petchip.network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated – PLEASE IGNORE. THIS IS A SCAM. The email comes with a link taking you to a page showing your pet’s name, microchip number, your contact phone number and looks very convincing. PLEASE IGNORE.

There is a list of approved databases on gov.uk: Get your dog or cat microchipped - GOV.UK

Typically you would only pay a fee or first registering your pet or if you contact the company to update your details .

It is important to keep your pet’s microchip contact details up-to-date including if you move address or change phone number/ email address. Please contact your microchip provider direct to update your details.

Our practice is taking part in the Antibiotic Amnesty this November.

What to do if you have leftover or unused antibiotics:
💉 Return them to your vet practice for safe disposal
💉 Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics could contribute to antimicrobial resistance and pollute the environment through waterways, affecting our wildlife
💉Don’t ever give your pet, or any pet for which they haven’t been prescribed, left-over or out of date antibiotics. Using antibiotics when not needed could risk side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis for your pet, mean that your pet’s condition may not be treatable, and contributes to antimicrobial resistance

Have you seen the recent rules that make it a legal requirement for everyone in Great Britain who keeps birds outdoors to register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)?

You can find more details here:
https://www.bva.co.uk/media/6059/guidance-for-registration-of-kept-birds-sept-2024.pdf

https://vets.blog.gov.uk/2024/08/22/new-mandatory-bird-registration-what-do-keepers-need-to-know/

The rules apply to poultry and other captive birds including pets and aviary birds.
You do not need to register indoor birds such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels and finches if they are fully housed in a dwelling (your home or another indoor structure) and with no access to the open air. 🐔🐔🐔

Congratulations to to our wonderful Nurse Jody! We all knew you could do it 🎉🥳🍾

Jody Barry from Farthings Veterinary Group is our first ever student to complete CVS’ new Level 5 Advanced Veterinary Nurse Diploma in Practice Nurse! 👏

She’s gained the post nominals of Dip AdvVNPN, C-SQP and will be entered onto an advanced veterinary nurse and SQP register with the qualification’s awarding body, VetSkill.

Jodie wanted the qualification as she’s always had an interest in medical nursing - recently becoming exclusively a consulting nurse. She says she was looking for an accreditation that would properly reflect her skills. Achieving this prestigious qualification, alongside her C-SQP status, means Jodie is now offering an enhanced level of care for her patients. Jodie says it’s been challenging but has given her a real sense of achievement and confidence.

Well done Jodie. We’re so proud of you! 🌟

A Level 5 Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing ECC is also available to first opinion RVNs qualified for 6 months, with 6 modules providing the theoretical and practical knowledge to work in an ECC environment.

The 11th November is a day dedicated to honouring military personnel who lost their lives in service to their country. The date commemorates the armistice signed at the end of World War I on November 11, 1918.
Wearing a poppy is a show of support for the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. It represents all those who lost their lives on active service, from the beginning of the First World War right up to present day and not to forget all the animals that also lost their lives assisting those who served us.

Wednesday 6th November marks National Stress Awareness Day, which seeks to raise awareness of the negative effects that stress can have on our health.

While stress can sometimes serve as a helpful motivator, too much of it can negatively impact our mood, body, and mind.
This is where our pets play an important role: they can greatly help reduce stress and boost mental well-being. Interacting with pets has a soothing effect on the body, helping to lower blood pressure, ease anxiety, and increase feelings of social support.
Petting or cuddling animals can release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes relaxation and bonding, while also lowering cortisol levels, which are linked to stress.
Feeling stressed? Take a few extra moments today to cuddle your pet and ease those feelings of tension.
