Pet Health Check – only £24.99!* 🩺

The festivities may be over, but your furry friends might still feel the effects! From gobbling goodies, to the excitement of visitors, the holiday season can take its toll.

💡Your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong, but we can:
☑️ Weight and body: That extra snacking, chilly weather and salty pavements can all add up!
☑️ Behaviour changes: The stress of changes in routine and noisy celebrations can affect your pet’s well-being.
☑️ Joints and mobility: Cold weather can affect mobility by making your pet’s joints stiff and painful.

Our expert veterinary nurses can spot and address any potential concerns early to ensure your pet starts the New Year healthy and happy! 🥳

Book a pet Health Check here: https://FindAHealthCheck.softr.app

*For well dog, cats and rabbits only. Please book a consultation if your pet is ill. Full T&Cs on the Offer page on the website.

Meet Odie.

In October 2023 Odie was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph glands, after his owner had felt large swellings beneath his jaw. Once we confirmed his diagnosis, he was started on a chemotherapy protocol which involved using multiple medications in sequence for a period of 12 months. Thankfully most dogs tolerate chemotherapy very well and Odie certainly continued to live life to the fullest, enjoying beach holidays in Norfolk and presenting for his treatments with all the poise and composure he exudes in his photo!

We are now 4 months on from the proverbial 'End of Treatment’ bell and he remains comfortably in remission. We know that the cancer could return so Odie visits us for regular checkups. But responding well to his treatment means he has surpassed the median survival time for his cancer whereas without treatment his survival would have been a matter of weeks.

In veterinary medicine, our goal is to prioritise quality of life during chemotherapy. To do this, we use much lower doses than humans receive thereby reducing any side effects which are usually mild and temporary.

He is a pinnacle of hope and a reminder that our canine companions can be brave troupers. We are very proud of Odie and his owner's perseverance!

There’s a cold snap hitting us here in the UK 🥶 You may need to take some extra steps to help look after your cat during the chilly weather. Check our website for some more tips 👉 https://icatcare.org/advice/hazardous-weather/

🐈 If your cat usually has outdoor access, consider having a litter tray indoors because they may avoid venturing out into the cold.

💧If you usually keep a water bowl outside, check that it hasn’t frozen over. Avoid putting chemicals that are poisonous to cats, like Antifreeze, in ponds and water features as cats will often drink from these too.

🐾 Provide indoor enrichment, like puzzle feeders, and play with your cat for a few minutes each day.

🚗 Before starting your car, tap on the hood and check between the tyres to check that a cat isn’t hiding there for some warmth.

Very insightful podcast with views from both sides. As the Kennel Club closes its assured breeder program- how do you make sure the puppy you're buying is from an ethical breeder?

The Puppy Conundrum: What is ethical breeding?

As the Kennel Club Assured Breeders Scheme closes down at the end of 2024, how do we ensure that prospective puppy owners are educated on what constitutes an ‘ethical breeder’.

Do you believe that there is such a thing as ‘ethical breeders’?

Join Veterinary Surgeons Sean McCormack and Alison Skipper, with Veterinary Voices own Robyn Lowe, as they delve into challenging topics around the Kennel Club, pedigree dogs, health testing, societies purchase habits (sometimes compulsive, and based on aesthetic and fashionable breeds over health) and the future of puppy breeding and purchasing.

What are the ‘green flags’ of a good breeder - how do we stop the UK puppy demand supporting illegally imported puppies, or unethical and unscrupulous breeding methods and establishments or organisations?
