Sarcoma Awareness Month: July is for spreading the word about early detection of sarcomas, which is a rare type of cancer.
Sarcoma symptoms in animals can vary depending on the location and type of sarcoma, but common signs include visible lumps, swelling, pain, and changes in behaviour. If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to book an appointment for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. The earlier a sarcoma is detected, the better the chances of successful treatment.
Lots of lumps and bumps can be benign soft tissue masses, but it's important to get things checked by a vet.
We use various diagnostic tests, such as blood analysis, fine needle aspiration, tissue biopsy, and imaging techniques, to determine the type and location of the sarcoma, or even to rule it out.

World Day Against Pet Abandonment is observed annually on the last Saturday of June. It's a time to raise awareness about the plight of abandoned animals and encourage responsible pet ownership.
The day aims to educate the public about the consequences of pet abandonment, which can include neglect, hunger, thirst, and disease.
According to the Animal Welfare Act 2006, in the UK animal abandonment constitutes a criminal offense, as the owner is failing to meet the animal's basic needs.
If you are struggling financially or emotionally and need help, reach out, we have relationships with reputable local charitable organisations for advice on best practices for pet adoption and care.

Cat World Domination Day: Behind every cat’s cuteness lurks a plan for total world domination (or so the idea goes for the 24th of June). Cat World Domination Day is a bit of a lark, playing on the common notion that felines are in charge of their human mums and dads. Still, we’ll take it as another chance to celebrate the charming and quirky nature of cats! Get involved and share some snaps of your furry friends in the comments.

Microchipped pets are up to twice as likely to be reunited with their owners when they're lost or stolen.
For best results, you need to keep your details up-to-date.
You can usually update your details online, the same way you first registered them. For some databases, updating your details might cost a small fee.
You must update your details when you change...
- Address,
- Phone number,
- Email,
Or when you change any other of your details.
If you've just acquired your pet, whether from a shelter or a breeder, ensure the microchip is updated to reflect you as the owner. Most reputable organizations will be happy to assist you with that.

Microchips for pets are safe.
The devices are small, bio-compatible (allergy-proof), and don’t have any kind of battery or power source.
Inserting the chip under your pet’s skin is a very quick, non-invasive process - about the same as delivering a vaccine.
The chip has no parts that need to be maintained or replaced, which means that once it’s inserted, there is no need to touch it again - it’s in there for life.
Most importantly, it will enable your pet to be returned to you in case they get lost or stolen.

Why should you microchip your pet?
Here at Vetcare, we want to ensure the safety and well-being of your beloved pets. We always suggest that our clients microchip their pets.
Here's why:
🔒 It will allow your pet to be returned to you, should they become lost or stolen. Tags and collars can break off, but a microchip is safely under your pet's skin.
💻 There are pet devices that can be programmed to respond to your pet's specific microchip, opening up a myriad of technological opportunities.
👮 Microchipping is a legal requirement in many places - including many US cities, and for dogs and cats in the UK.

Microchips make it possible to reunite lost pets with their owners.
Tags and collars can break or get lost - which is why it's so important to get your pet microchipped!
But how do these devices work?
A pet microchip is a tiny tag, about as big as a grain of rice, that stores an ID number.
They don’t have a battery or source of power - just a chip, an antenna, and a “capacitor” which allows an external device to power the chip when read.
A vet or a shelter can use an "interrogator device" to give the chip energy, which the chip uses to emit its unique ID number.
This number can be used to look up your pet in a lost pets database - and reunite them with you!
Your contact details will be stored in this database - not on the chip!
This means that updating your details does not require you to go to the vet, or replace the chip. The chip will always remain safely under your pet’s skin.
Register your pet in a government-approved database, and ensure that your details are always up-to-date. Outdated details will make it harder to contact you in the event your pet gets lost!
