Why do cats scratch?🤔

generally scratch for 3 different reasons. They scratch with their claws by dragging them downward, either on a horizontal or vertical surface. 🐱

1) This helps to loosen and remove the outer husk of the claw revealing a sharp new surface underneath.🐾

2) Scratching also helps to exercise their muscles of the forelimbs and spine keeping the cat in good condition.🐾

3) Scratching is also used a form of marking or territorial communication. The scent and sweat glands in between the pads of the feet mix to produce a unique smell.🐾

When claws are scraped down a surface, the scent is deposited and the combination of the mark, discarded claw husks and the smell provides a strong visual and scent message to other cats.🐈

Why do cats lick humans?🤔

lick themselves and others for various reasons, and it's a natural behaviour that serves several purposes. When a cat licks you or another cat this can be a sign of trust or affection. They can also lick to control body temperature, to soothe painful areas, to reduce stress, to seek attention or for taste and exploration. 🐱

While licking is generally a normal and healthy behaviour, excessive licking, especially in one area, could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an allergy, skin problems, or pain. If you notice any changes in your cat's grooming habits or behaviour, contact your veterinary practice for further advice.🐾

is often described as ‘the teenage phase’, because the behaviour changes we see in dogs can be very similar to those we see in adolescent humans. You may hear people describe their as being rebellious, but they really aren’t planning a takeover, they are just dealing with the challenges of canine puberty!🐶

Dogs don’t tolerate as well as humans do. Unlike us, dogs typically rely on panting to keep themselves cool and panting is the most important way in which a dog regulates its temperature. 🥵

However, because they only have sweat glands in their feet and around their nose, they are less efficient than we are at cooling themselves down.🐶

A breezy day and cooler 🤔 lets look at Food sensitivity/intolerance
Food sensitivities are more common than allergies and do not involve the immune system. They are generally triggered by the digestive system and are less serious than allergies. When your cat or dog has a food intolerance, it means that something in their food doesn't agree with their body. 🐾It does not trigger the immune system to react like a food allergy does, however, it can cause other unpleasant symptoms for your pet. 🐾Always visit your Vet however I can help with nutrition 👍 https://www.oscars.co.uk/blog/food-allergies-intolerances-cats-dogs

Summer is here today is to be 23 degrees 🙀 our fur babies will need some relief from the heat today 🐾 make sure there’s some shade and drinking water. If your fur baby has a pool they will love that. Please remember to supervise your dog around water and try to avoid prolonged swimming or fetch games which increase the risk of swallowing water.Choking, water intoxication, and drowning can sadly occur in garden ponds, swimming pools, canals, and lakes. Have a fabulous Day 🥰🐾

Windy and rainy today 🙄 I’m visiting in Antrim and Ballymena areas today 🐾 Let’s look at what can be the best ingredients in food for joint care.
🐾Glucosamine provides building blocks to synthesize new joint cartilage.
🐾Chondroitin blocks destructive enzymes that break down cartilage joint.
🐾MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane )can act as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
🐾Fish Oils (containing fatty acids such as Omega-3) provide anti-inflammatory properties. All at different levels depending on the quality of the food and life stage Oscar Pinnacle Plus has the most of any food on the market 👍

It might be June but 6 degrees this morning first thing what’s going on 😳 Making a home for a new puppy needs a bit of thought and of course money, but what kind of things do you need to know before you bring them home? 🐾When the puppy has been vaccinated/ flea treated/ wormed and when this is due again.
🐾Information on the breed including health issues, grooming needs, training and exercise requirements.
🐾Information on diet (what they have been feeding, how much and when).
🐾You should prepare for your new puppy by setting up a crate or bed in a pen to provide a safe and secure ‘bedroom’ for them.
🐾Buy in some of the food ( if you what Oscar Puppy food mix with the old)they have been eating and some tasty puppy treats.

Looking like a nice day 😁 Why would you greed Grain Free Food? Sensitivities can develop from many different things. There are a few grains in pet food that are relatively easier on a sensitive tummy than others. Some grains (such as Barley and Wheat) contain the protein gluten while others, such as Rice, do not. Unfortunately, gluten can be one of those tricky tummy ‘ticklers’ that can irritate sensitive dogs and cats. There’s some fantastic options available and plenty of support and no subscriptions. Delivery is free just get in touch 🐾

Welcome to OSCAR Pet Foods Ballymena

“Hello! I’m Lin Hunter. Together with my daughter, Maxine Mcilreavy, we are your OSCAR pet food suppliers in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. From the seaside town of Ballycastle – to Ballymena and beyond – and from Belfast to the rugged Giant's Causeway, our special home delivery pet food service is designed to support all your pet care needs. We are professionally trained Nutritional Advisors providing a personal service that supports honestly labelled, high-quality dog food, puppy food, cat food and kitten food. We leave no stone unturned when it comes to catering for your beloved pets. Come and explore our extensive range of toys, treats and terrific pet supplies – all waiting to spoil your treasured friends. “They say the customer is always right … and we agree! Being longstanding OSCAR customers ourselves, we wanted to keep the OSCAR paw print alive in friendly County Antrim! So, as soon as the franchise came up for sale, we decided to join forces and start our own family business.

"We discovered that using OSCAR enabled us to live our lives to the full around family, friends, home or work because we never had to worry about running out of pet food, treats … or pretty much anything pet! Not to mention the convenience of OSCAR making pet shopping so easy. And, with four dogs, plus two rescues, we also found the expert nutritional advice very reassuring.

“Between us, we have a good thirty years of experience working for the supermarket who quotes 'every little help's'. When I took redundancy to find a new way of life, help also followed. With Maxine by my side, transferring our skills from HR and communications proved a natural progression. And, with two in our team, we can be on hand whenever you need a visit.

“We love to spend precious time getting to know you and your pets. Becoming your ‘right-hand women’ when it comes to pet care means carefully listening to your needs in order to provide you with a service you can rely upon … and we never say ‘no’ to a cuppa! “It's important for us to make sure all of your pets receive carefully thought out nutrition designed to match their lifestyle. Our love of animals is strengthened by offering high-quality pet foods that have been individually designed to cater for all breeds, life-stages and conditions. We only supply pet food that has been formulated by experts and honestly labelled: giving you confidence that we are providing optimal health and wellbeing for your dogs or cats.
