The recent CMA draft report is welcome, though it does not go far enough to address the problems caused by large corporate practices 😔 We of course are fully independent, transparent and always aim to make our services affordable. The highest quality veterinary care can be costly to deliver, but we consider our work a mission and will always try our absolute best to help your pets, and strays and wildlife in all circumstances.

🐾🚭 Did you know that second-hand smoke isn’t just harmful to people, it’s dangerous for pets too. Exposure can lead to serious health issues in dogs and cats, including respiratory irritation, cancer, eye and skin problems and heart disease. Birds and small mammals, with their delicate respiratory systems, are especially vulnerable.

This Stoptober, consider the benefits of quitting smoking for you and your pet. Their health and comfort depend on it. 🐱🐹🐦🐶

🐶🚶 Heading out on a hike in Surrey with your dog? Here’s how to keep it safe and enjoyable:

Choose a dog-friendly trail that matches your pup’s age, breed and fitness level. Pack essentials like water in a collapsible bowl, a sturdy harness and leash, fur-friendly first aid supplies, p**p bags and treats for encouragement. Keep close watch for signs of tiredness or overheating, take regular breaks and after your walk, always check for ticks.

A little planning makes all the difference to your adventures together! Got a hiking recommendation for other dog lovers? Please do share below...

🐶 Pet Wellness Month: is your dog bored?
Boredom in dogs can show up as digging, chewing, barking, or constantly seeking attention.

Try these simple ways to keep them happy and stimulated:
☑️ Change up your walks with new routes
☑️ Play indoor games like “hide the treat” or puzzle toys
☑️ Enjoy tug-of-war or obstacle courses in the garden
☑️ Teach or refresh basic commands together

Keeping your dog’s mind busy is just as important as keeping them active! 💙
