🎄Keeping your pets safe at Christmas🎄
There may be a few more hazards around the home during the festive period. Pets can be inquisitive to their surroundings and so it’s important to keep these potentially toxic and harmful things out of their sight and reach.
Toxic/harmful foods include:
🧅 Onions, garlic, spring onions, leeks and chives
🍫 Chocolate
🍇 Grapes, currants, raisins and dried vine fruits including those found in Christmas pudding, Christmas cake and mince pies.
🍖 Bones
🍷 Alcohol
🍭Xylitol- found in many products including sweets, chewing gum, baked goods, jams and peanut butter
🗑 Mouldy food- ingestion can be fatal: this is usually seen when pets raid the food waste caddy or bin. Symptoms are rapid and include panting, excessive salivation, muscle tremors and seizures.
🎁Decorations and wrapping (glass, tape, ribbon, string etc) can also cause potential problems such as cut mouths/paws and digestive tract blockages if ingested
🔋 Batteries can cause significant damage to the mouth and digestive tract
☎️ If you think your pet has eaten potentially toxic foods or items please contact the practice on 01934 622022

We found something Buddy Elf can’t do!…. Maybe flying a sleigh is better suited than driving a car 😂💚❤️
Many of us will be travelling with our pets over the summer holidays. Here are some top tips for a safe car journey 🚗 🚗 🚗
🐱 Microchipping law for cats 🐱
The new compulsory microchipping law for cats is fast approaching.
In England, from 10th June 2024 all cats will need to be microchipped before they are 20weeks old. Their contact details will need to be stored and kept up to date on a pet microchip database or owners may risk a fine of up to £500
Is your cat microchipped?
✅ Yes
Please ensure that your details are up to date. If you are unsure which database your cats details are stored on we can check their number and let you know.
❌ No
We can implant a microchip during a consultation or if your cat is with us for a procedure.
A microchip is the size of a grain of rice which is implanted under the skin of the scruff- a similar way to giving a vaccination. It is quick and doesn’t require an anaesthetic.
❓Unsure
We can scan your cat to check if they have a microchip
🔎 A microchip also gives the best chance of your pet being identified and reunited to you if they are lost.
☎️ If you would like to book an appointment or for more information please contact the practice on 01934 622022 and speak to one of the team
