🐾 Attention Pet Owners: Beware of Microchip Scam 🐾

We’ve received reports of a scam targeting pet owners.

Fraudulent "businesses" are sending emails claiming your pet’s microchip is about to expire and urging you to click a link and pay a hefty fee - sometimes as high as £180.

🚨 Important Reminder:

Microchips do NOT expire. If you receive such an email:

❌ Do not click any links.
❌ Do not make any payments.
✅ Contact your original microchip provider to verify your details and ensure everything is in order.

Spread the word to protect fellow pet owners 🐶🐱

“How far in advance do I need to arrange my dogs accommodation?” is a regular question we get asked.
The answer is: as soon as you know you’ll need it.

Our cleverer customers book their dogs accommodation before their holidays, but as a rough guide consider the following:

School holidays - at least the school holiday proceeding (summer hols by Easter)
Weekends - summer 2-3 months, winter you might get away with a late booking
Bank holiday weekends - 2 to 3 months, August holiday is booked by early January.

A big thanks to LAKES SOLAR LTD who have installed our solar power system. The panels now provide the power for all our electricity needs at the kennels. Not only does this mean we are a greener company and more efficient but it means alongside our air source heat pumps we can run the kennels air conditioning on lovely sunny days like today, all day for free!

** BOOKING ALERT **
We thought last year was crazy for the speed certain dates became fully booked. This year it looks crazier!
We’ve already hit capacity on certain dates in Feb, May, June and August. If you’ve got your holiday plans sorted don’t wait to get your pets accommodation sorted too!
(Those in the know book their own pets holiday first!)

⚠️ Information for dog owners with regards to Parvovirus.

You may have seen other posts on Facebook talking about Parvovirus in the local area.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus causing bloody diarrhoea, vomiting and lethargy, and sadly it can often be fatal despite intensive treatment.

Be assured that if you come in yearly for booster vaccines, your dogs chance of contracting Parvovirus is minimal. Unvaccinated dogs, particularly puppies or older dogs, are most at risk.

If you are unsure of your dogs vaccination status (or have other questions), please email [email protected] stating your name, address and pet name and we will advise you according to our records.

Vaccination appointments can also be made online via our website: https://www.millcroftvets.co.uk/book
