✨🎄FREE Christmas Photoshoot sessions 🎄✨

Once again, we will be hosting our very popular ✨🎄FREE Christmas Photoshoot sessions 🎄✨next weekend. Last year they sold out within a few hours.

This year they will be at our Cholsey branch on Saturday 6th of December between 0900 and 1500.

Each session lasts approx. 15-minutes and you will be given a link to view and choose a download of your favourite image to keep with no charge. Additional images may be purchased directly should you wish, but there is no obligation to do so. Some pictures will be taken in the practice and some by our Christmas tree. You are welcome to bring any props you wish, although our elves do have some ready! 🎄

As we enter the chillier season, anti-freeze becomes a necessity, but should be kept well away from any animals or pets

❄️Anti-freeze contains a chemical known as ethylene glycol which causes major issues if consumed.

❄️Ingestion of ethylene glycol can cause kidney failure and is especially lethal to cats.

❄️Antifreeze has a sweet taste which makes it attractive to animals. Even tiny amounts, e.g. licking it off their paws, can be enough to cause severe illness and death.

Symptoms include:

-Increased thirst
-Increased urination
-Vomiting
-Depression
-Incoordination
-Inappetence
-Lower energy levels
-Issues with breathing
-Seizures


If you think your pet may have consumed anti-freeze, please contact us as soon as possible.
