Apologies but unable to carry out my services until further notice - I’m in hospital!

We currently have appointments available for our Emmipet Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning service. If your dog has bad breath, tartar or sore gums this can cause other problems in the body and should be treated as soon as possible. Just like humans, dog’s teeth should be cleaned every day if possible and the sooner they get used to the routine, the better.

PARVO ALERT!!!!

There is currently an outbreak of Parvovirus in dogs in the Oswestry area. We currently have confirmed cases in the hospital.
Parvo is a horrible virus that normally causes bloody diarrhoea (although not always bloody), vomiting, anorexia, temperature fluctuation and lethargy. All symptoms do not have to be present - your pet may show one or many.

This virus is very serious and can be fatal with the best chances depending on immediate treatment. Direct contact with another dog is not necessary since the virus can live in the environment for a substantial amount of time, and can also be transmitted by foxes.

Normally the dogs most at risk are those that are unvaccinated, especially puppies even if they are in the middle of a vaccine course. We would recommend that all dogs are fully vaccinated as this can reduce the severity of the disease.
If your pets are not up to date with their vaccines we would recommended that they have a booster or restart the vaccination course as soon as possible.

If you are unsure of your pets vaccination status please ring us to check on 01691 670067

Lots of silly people at the beach today totally ignoring the fact that it was MUCH TOO HOT for their dogs!! The temperature of the sand was so hot it was burning my feet, let alone poor dog pads.

Walking your dog in hot weather can cause them as much harm as leaving them in a hot car. When to know it's too hot for a dog walk.

Please think about your dog…………

It is cooler today, but be careful. It is still 20 degrees out there and that can be fatal for some dogs, especially our squish faces!

19/07/2022

Already 28.3 degrees. If I see anyone walking their dog today I’m going to flip!

How would you feel wearing a furry onesie with a hood, and no shoes??? Exactly - dog owners please think about this when you force your dog out for a walk in this heat!!

18/07/2022

Obviously due to the heat for the next few days there will be NO walkies! It is only 10 o’clock now and over 26 degrees! PLEASE DO NOT WALK YOUR DOG IN THIS HEAT. They will be ok without a walk until it cools down. Anything over 24 degrees can be FATAL for dogs as they overheat. Keep them inside.

17/07/2022

Why are some dog owners so stupid? No dog should be out in this heat, let alone forced to sit outside with you at Macdonalds!!!!

13/07/2022

Getting hotter - no more dog walking sessions today!
