There have been numerous reports of fake flea treatments available online. We urge you to take extra caution when buying flea and worming treatment for your pet and would always recommend discussing the best flea and worm preventative treatment for your pet with a vet. It is always best to keep to fully licenced products for the correct species of your pet, they can be very dangerous is not used correctly.

Pet owners urged to be wary of dangerous fake treatments discovered on e-commerce sites.

We have just had a black, entire male cat brought in to us who has sadly passed away following a road traffic accident very close to the practice on Wigan Lane. He is unchipped but looks well looked after so we would like to make the owner aware. If you think he could be your cat please contact the surgery on 01942 242464.

Thank you so much to Vets 4 Pets yesterday for reuniting our nurse Pauline with her dog, Breeze!
Losing your pet is always a traumatic experience for the owner, luckily for Pauline and Breeze she was in safe hands with the team at Vets 4 Pets. Breeze was microchipped from being a puppy yet when she was found unfortunately the microchip has migrated/no longer active and could not be scanned, therefore was showing as unchipped. This can make it a lot more difficult to reunite a pet with their owner, therefore it is important to frequently check the microchip and keep the microchip details up to date. Due to this situation we are now offering free microchip checks in the practice to give our clients piece of mind if they're ever unfortunate enough to be in a similar situation to Pauline. If you would like to come in for your pet's microchip check please call beforehand to arrange a time with one of our receptionists on 01942 242464.

As spring starts to bloom you may notice your pet's allergies start to flare up around this time of year. This may show up with excessive licking or scratching (especially around the paws), red skin or hair loss. We have lots of different treatment options at the practice for allergies but the most popular are the Cytopoint monthly injection and Apoquel allergy tablets. These are both fast acting and can be given short term or log term. These are only available for dogs at this time. If you have concerns about your pet suffering from allergies or have any queries, please contact us on 01942 242464.
