🚨 Important Update for XL Bully Owners 🚨

The government has announced an extension to the deadline for neutering young XL Bully dogs, following engagement with the veterinary industry.

🗓️ New Neutering Deadline: For XL Bully dogs under seven months on 31st January 2024, the new deadline is extended to 30th June 2025. This decision aims to ensure the safe management of the XL Bully dog population while balancing their welfare with public safety.

Neutering Reminders:
•Dogs aged under 7 months on the 31st January 2024 are now to be neutered by 30th June 2025
•Dogs aged 7 – 12 months on 31st January 2024, must be neutered by the end of 2024
•Older dogs (over 1 year on 31st January 2024) must be neutered by 30th June 2024

Owners of older dogs are reminded to book a neutering appointment with the vet well in advance of the deadline.

Failure to provide evidence of neutering by the deadline may result in legal repercussions, including potential seizure of the dog by the police.

🚫 Breeding and rehoming of XL Bully dogs remain prohibited, regardless of age.

For any questions or to schedule a neutering appointment, please contact us as

Christmas Dangers 6 Dried Fruits Grapes and their dried varieties are common at Christmas but toxic to pets. The dried varieties of these fruits are often found in mince pies, Christmas pudding, stollen and fruit and nut mix, so keep all these treats out of reach! If your pets does accidentally eat something containing these foods, give us a call as soon as possible for advice. 01942 721562 #ChristmasDangers

Christmas Dangers 5 Chocolate Human chocolate for humans. Dog treats for dogs. We always get asked is of chocolate okay for our dog? The answer? Zero chocolate is the right amount for a dog. Chocolate contains theobromine (a compound poisonous to dogs). How dangerous chocolate is depends on the type and amount eaten and the size and health of your dog. Chocolate coins, chocolate tree decorations, your favourite festive tin are all bad for your dog. If your dog has eaten chocolate, the best course of action is to contact us as soon as possible for advice. 01942 721562 #ChristmasDanger

Christmas Dangers 2 Christmas Decorations Supervise pets around Christmas decorations Although Christmas decorations help to set the scene, certain decorations may pose a risk to our pets. For example, stringy decorations such as tinsel and decorative string can cause digestive blockages if eaten and glass baubles may cut paws if smashed. Christmas trees may resemble an exciting climbing frame to adventurous cats, so consider tethering them! Keep inquisitive pets safe by supervising them and keeping them away from potential dangers.

Christmas Dangers 4 Christmas Food Which Christmas foods are a ❌ for your pet? ⏬ 🎄Turkey bones can potentially cause blockages and damage to your pet’s digestive tract – be sure to pop the bins off the counter and into a secure bin. 🎄High fat foods such as pigs in blankets can sometimes trigger pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) 🎄Onions (as part of the allium family of plants) are toxic to cats and dogs – plenty of onions in stuffing and gravy, so keep your eyes peeled. 🎄Snacking on macademia nuts in the afternoon? Make sure your bowl is out of paws reach. 🎄Alcohol is also toxic, so spills and left-over drinks should be cleaned away and safely disposed of. If in doubt, the safest option is to feed pet safe treats instead!

Christmas Dangers 3 Guests at Christmas Keep your pets safe around festive guests If you are entertaining guests this Christmas, there are likely to be more people going in and out of your home. Take care to ensure your guests know how to interact with your pets and that pets have somewhere quiet to go if they need time alone. Having pets microchipped brings peace of mind that they can be traced back to you if they are accidentally let out or escape.

Christmas Dangers Christmas plants CAN be a #ChristmasDanger 👎📉 Did you know that certain Christmas plants can make your pets unwell if eaten? Keep poinsettia, ivy, holly, lilies and mistletoe out of reach to avoid stomach upsets. Also discourage pets from chewing on the Christmas tree as this too can cause digestive issues and sharp pine needles may cause irritation and damage. If your pet eats something they shouldn’t, or develops vomiting, diarrhoea or becomes unwell, please contact us for further support. 01942 721562
