We met these beautiful puppies when they were first born, their mother Nelly did an amazing job! We had them all back today for their microchips. Safe to say we tired them out! Lovely to see all the happy and healthy puppies growing and thriving! 🐾🐶

Walk Your Dog Month 🐾

January marks the beginning of Walk Your Dog Month, designed to encourage dog owners to be
more active and ensure their pets get sufficient exercise.

🐶 It highlights the importance of regular walks for a dog's physical and mental health whilst promoting a healthier lifestyle for pet owners too.

🐶 It will not come as a surprise that there are many benefits to regular dog walks:

🐶 Physical Health: Prevents obesity and keeps dogs fit.

🐶 Mental Stimulation: Outdoor walks provide sensory enrichment through smells, sights, and
sounds.

🐶 Behavior Improvement: Exercise can reduce boredom, destructive behavior and anxiety.

🐶 Bonding: Strengthens the relationship between owners and their pets.

Have you enjoyed many winter walks this season? We would love to see your photos below. ️ 🐾❄️

Having your teeth brushed is a strange experience, and many pets will panic if it is not introduced slowly and gently. It may take a month or two to reach a point of “proper brushing” – this is normal and nothing to worry about. Find out how to start brushing your pet’s teeth here:

Do you have enough medication for your pet to cover them over the festive period? If not, give us a call on 01933 442188 to order and pick up your pet's prescription!

Over-indulgence is commonplace over the holidays, and while we can decide whether we really need a bit more cake, our pets will often accept whatever’s on offer. However, some foods we have around at Christmas pose significantly more danger than an upset stomach; so it’s important to keep them out of paws reach! For further information: vetcollection.co.uk/health/keeping-pets-safe-at-christmas If you are concerned about your pet over the festive period and need to see a vet, please call us on: 01933 442188.

As a practice we recommend you consider insuring your pet for many reasons. Pet insurance can help cover unexpected costs, whether they be large one off bills or ongoing treatment plans. Insurance will allow you and your vet to make decisions based on what is best for your pet rather than what you are able to afford. Remember not all pet insurance is the same so it is a good idea to check the cover provided and ask if you will be paying more for claiming. 🐾
