HOW TO SPOT HEAT EXPOSURE 👇
Panting in hot weather is normal, but there are five symptoms you should never ignore if your pet has been exposed to the heat. Contact us immediately if your pet shows any of the symptoms shown in the graphic.
*Please be aware that A mild form of these symptoms can be normal after excercise. If you’re unsure, please contact us for advice.
Stay safe and enjoy the weather ❤
22° outside. 47° inside the car. 🥵
Unlike humans, dogs can’t sweat through their skin, and they can overheat incredibly quickly so NEVER leave dogs in a hot car, even for a few minutes.
RSPCA have an excellent guide on what to do if you find a dog in a hot car: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/dogs/health/dogsinhotcars

Meet Libby 🥰
Libby came to see us today for a nurse consultation with RVN Maria for a weight check for her flea and worm treatment, weight checks are required whilst they are growing to ensure they continue with the right doseage. Whilst she was here she had a little tour to meet the team too, these appointments are a great way to get them used to visiting a veterinary practice and meeting different members of staff helping them for their future appointments.
Libby is 4 months old, what a little cutie 😍

🐾Meet Vinny 🐾
Vinny is a young labrador with anxiety issues around strangers, especially men. His owner is very dedicated and is working alongside a qualified behaviourist, whilst also attending Fear Free appointments with RVN Megan, to ease his anxieties in the veterinary clinic.
Today he successfully had a Suprelorin capsule implanted into the scruff of his neck, in order to chemically castrate him. Chemical castration is a temporary castration, recommended to owners with anxious male dogs. This is because it can be removed and the effects reversed, if necessary.
Often, an anxious dog's only form of confidence comes from the testosterone hormone they naturally have in their body when they are not neutered, however surgical removal of the testicles completely removes this source of the hormone. Surgical castration is irreversible and can result in worsening of a dog's anxiety, if the cause is known to be fear or a lack of confidence.
The pictures demonstrate how large the implant needle is compared to routine injections for boosters or medicines. Megan ensured she used 4 sessions of Fear Free to desensitize Vinny to coming to the practice and having his scruff handled and simulations of injections performed in a positive and painless way. She then requested that his owner apply a numbing agent to the skin, at home, in preparation for the appointment, and Megan added a cold numbing spray during the appointment. Along with fresh ham and chicken treats for his top reward, Megan managed to inject the implant with minimal resistance from Vinny.
Here he is enjoying his squeaky ball, for the last 15 minutes of his session, to dilute any negative memories he may have formed from the injection experience and ensure he left on a happy note.
Vinny has one final session booked in, which will be a 100% hands off, happy visit to positively reinforce the vet practice with treats and his toys to set him up with good memories, in time for his vaccination visit in the future 🥰

Did you know that dogs can donate blood?
Many ill or injured pets need blood transfusions, so it’s important that practices have access to a ready supply of blood on hand.
To become a blood donor (which is a simple procedure), dogs should meet the following criteria:
✅Aged over one but under 8 years old
✅ Weigh over 25 kilos
✅ Be fully vaccinated
✅ Not travelled abroad
✅ Not on medication
For more information about joining the Pet Blood Bank, visit their website: https://www.petbloodbankuk.org/
While pets may be in our lives briefly, they leave a lasting impression in our memories🌈
We would love for you to share memories and photos in the comments on the pets you’ve had, loved and cherished. 💕
We have had two cats brought to us (separately) we are trying to locate their owners.
One is a black and white male neutered cat, he was originally handed in at Paragon in Wakefield, unfortunately we don't have any information as to where he was found.
Pictured second is an all-black entire male (un-neutered) he was found on Duke of York avenue in Portobello, Wakefield.
We believe both boys to be older in age, neither of them have any form of identification or a microchip.
If you think either of these handsome boys could be your cat please contact us at Brindley Way Hospital on 01924 362464.
Proof of ownership will be required 🐾

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions. Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.
🔍 Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and living environment, especially during warmer months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or unusual behaviour. Prevention is key: ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods recommended by your vet.
🚨 If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary assistance immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well-being of your furry friend. Let's keep our rabbits safe and flystrike-free this summer! 🌞🐇
🌍 Happy World Environment Day! 🌿
Today, we join the global movement to protect and preserve our planet. At Chantry Vets, we're committed to reducing our environmental pawprint and promoting sustainable practices.
We implemented a few things to reduce our environmental pawprint some such as:
🐾 Our in house Lab results are exported directly onto patients file meaning no need for paper
🐾 The cat litter we use is recyclable
🐾 Collecting compostable food waste
🐾 Collecting and recycling paper on our sterilisation pouches
🐾 Branch internal orders deliveries reduced from 3 x weekly to 2 x weekly to reduce emissions
🐾 Clinical waste bins moved to a more sustainable construction
🐾 Shredded paper collections
🐾 Cardboard collections
🐾 Used printer toner and battery collections
🐾 Placing staff more local to a particular branch where possible to reduce travel emissions
🐾 Clothing bin at our Alverthorpe Surgery
🐾 Switching off lights and electrical equipment such as computers not in use
🐾 Feeding the birds in our outside area at our Brindley Way Hospital
🐾 Growing our own herbs/veggies
We have much more in the pipeline too 🐞 We currently hold the Investors in the Environment (iiE) Bronze Award for our commitment to sustainability 🥳👏 and are working towards the Silver 😍
Investors in the Environment (iiE) is an environmental accreditation scheme designed to help businesses save money and reduce their environmental impact.

Misty has been dieting since 23rd February, following rapid weight gain when a course of steroid treatment was required to help her recover from illness! She peaked at 12.6kg before our vet Lisa Marie Flood asked Megan to assist with a weight management plan. Megan estimated Misty's target weight to be around 10kg when she examined her body condition score, a tool used to determine how much fat is held around key areas of the body, including ribs and waist. Misty's owners have followed the feeding guide religiously and are now very happy to see the difference in Misty's energy and mobility. She has now reached 10.2kg and is still working on losing a little bit more, in order to get the maximum out of her life expectancy, as lean dogs have been proven to live for up to 2 years longer than their obese counterparts. Here is a video from her recent holiday where she impressed her owners with her agility and endurance whilst out on walks! Well done Misty and Misty's owners 👏 🥰🤩 Find out more about our Nurse weight clinics by contacting us on [email protected] or calling us 📞 01924362464

3 signs your rabbit loves you 🐰 As a prey species, it can be difficult to spot signs of affection that your rabbit gives you. Here’s what to look out for ⏬ 💗 Binkying: This is where your rabbit will suddenly run, leap, and twist in the air! Sit back and enjoy the show. 💗 If your rabbit just flops out, fully stretched out, this means they’re super relaxed and feel unthreatened around you. 💗 A little headbutt, rub or nudge against you is them looking for some loving attention. Bonus points if you can share some of the above signs of love with us in the comments! #ValentinesDay
They might not be as obvious with it as dogs, but cats have their ways of showing their love ⏬ 💗 If your cat’s tail is upright, they are content and safe and if it has a quiver at the top… this means you have a very happy cat! 💗 Purring is usually a sign that your cat is happy and content, but it can have other meanings such as feeling nervous at the vets 💗 Giving you a cheeky cheek rub or a gentle head-butt, they are marking their scent on you, and is a way they build up bonds with other animals. 💗 And finally… rolling over allowing you to rub their belly is the ultimate sign of trust and love! Let us know if you spot any of the above signs in your cat… photos are always welcome 😽 #ValentinesDay
How does our four-legged friend show their love? Let’s have a look 🐶⏬ 💗 When your dog chooses to come cuddle up to you (on their terms), they trust you, they love you and they want to be close to you! 💗 That helicopter tail wag? This type of tail behaviour is for people who they love the most. 💗 Eye contact, but with soft relaxed eyes shows that your dog has level of trust in you and wants you to know about it. These are but three signs, but there’s many more, has your dog shown any today? We’d love for you to tell us. 💞 #ValentinesDay
