🧸Safe Toys 🥎

The safest toy options include durable rubber toys, certain rope toys and some stuffed toys with no small, detachable parts.
Always choose toys appropriate for your dog's size and chewing style, and supervise them to prevent choking or ingestion of small parts.

Elf was trying to help by sorting the donation station out, but seems he got a bit stuck.

Don’t worry we rescued him and the donations have gone of to RSPCA Suffolk Central to help feed the animals in their care over the Christmas period.

Thank you for everyone who has donated, we had lots of food, treats and toys that we could take to them.

🎅Lights 🔌

If chewed, electric wires can cause burns or even electrocution. Even just exploring new wires during play can cause accidents if they are pulled.

If you need extra wires for lights or decorations, make sure any cables are kept hidden or out of reach of curious pets to avoid them getting caught up in them.

Elf decided he wanted a spa day today. The team found him using the ultrasonic cleaner as a hot tub 🫧

His spa day was over quickly as we needed to get our surgical equipment clean and sterilised ready for our patients ✂️

Looks like we need to find him some jobs to keep him busy and help the team out!

🍂Plants🍂

The most common types of Christmas trees are not highly toxic to pets, however, some common Christmassy plants can be!

These can include, poinsettias, holly, ivy, mistletoe and lillies (which can be fatal to cats), so it's always better to be cautious with these plants around your furry friends.

We told Elf to be careful trying to climb to the top of the Christmas tree, but he didn’t listen.

Luckily our skilled team of nurses are a dab hand at bandaging and were able to patch him up.

We’re sure he’ll be back to no good soon 🤭

🍗Food 🍫

We are sure our furry friends would think festive food is delicious, but their tummies might not! A lot of the food we indulge in around Christmas is highly toxic and dangerous to our pets.

Always double check food is safe before giving it to your pet. If they have eaten something they shouldn’t, they can usually be given an injection to induce vomiting, provided it is within four hours of ingestion. Fast action can be enough to avoid toxicity, so if you are concerned about something your pet has eaten, please do give us a call!

Uh oh….look who we found climbing the Christmas tree in reception today!

We hope he doesn’t cause too much mischief around the practice. But if last year was anything to go by, we might be busy keeping tabs on this cheeky chappie 🫣

🎄Decorations 🎄

Pets should always be supervised around decorations.
If chewed or swallowed, foreign objects can cause damage to the intestines or even a life-threatening obstruction.

Cats in particular are often drawn to tinsel; though this can be extremely dangerous if swallowed.

🎄Are you ready for a pet friendly festive season? 🎄

The Christmas period can bring a lot of excitement and for those of us with pets we often want them to join in the fun.
However, the holiday period can also bring some hazards for our furry friends with it, which we will be highlighting regularly in the lead up to Christmas.
