🌞 With the summer holidays fast approaching, and many of you heading on dog-friendly breaks, we would like to remind you of the importance of water safety for both you and your dog! 🌞

Here are a few of our top tips on how to stay safe in the water:

🌊 Never leave your pet unattended in or around water
🐾 Take it slow and stick to a shallow area at first, making sure they know where to get out
🌊 Don't let them swim or drink from anywhere you think might have blue-green algae, this is very toxic!
🐾 Avoid canals, reservoirs, fast flowing water and rough seas.
🌊 Beware of leptospirosis, this is a disease spread through rat urine in contaminated (usually stagnant) water. Keeping up to annual vaccinations will help protect against this!
🐾 Give them a good wash when you get home to clean off anything they might have picked up in the water.

Please remember: If your dog gets into trouble in the water, don’t be tempted to go in after them. Ring 999 instead and wait for professional advice!

⚠🌞 With the warm weather expected to continue, we please urge you to help keep your pets safe in the heat! 🌞⚠

If it's too hot for your hands or bare feet, then it's too hot for their paws! 🐶

If you do need to take your dog out for a walk, we recommend going out early in the morning or later on in the evening when the temperature is cooler. This will reduce the risk of heatstroke and burning their paws on the pavement. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt. 🐾

Please remember to take extra care with young puppies, older dogs and brachycephalic breeds, as they are at extra risk in the hot weather! ⚠️

We hope you all enjoy the heat, and please remember to stay safe! ❤🐾

World Veterinary Day is celebrated annually on the last Saturday of April, and is a special day dedicated to veterinary professionals all across the world. 🌟

The theme of World Veterinary Day 2024 is "Veterinarians are essential health workers". It recognises the hard work of veterinarians and not only their contributions towards improving animal health and welfare, but also their contributions towards public health, safety and well-being. 👩‍⚕️

We would like to dedicate today to all of our wonderful team here at Tweed, we couldn't do it without you! 🐾❤

Happy International Guide Dog Day 🦮

🐾🐱 CAT MICROCHIPPING 🐱🐾

From the 10th June 2024 it will be a legal requirement for all cats to be microchipped by 20 weeks of age. Owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days, within which to have a microchip implanted or face a possible fine of up to £500. ⚠️

It is estimated that as many as 2.8 million cats in the UK are unchipped, meaning that it would be difficult to reunite them with their owner if they were lost or stolen. By microchipping your pet and keeping the details up to date, it means that should the worst happen, your pet will be able to be reunited with you. 🤍

Please also remember to keep your pet's chip details up to date, as a microchip is only as effective as the contact details on the database that the chip is registered with. 🐱

World Stray Animal Day 🌏🐾❤️

Every pet deserves a loving home, but unfortunately this is not the case for many. Many stray animals become homeless through no fault of their own, it is our job to help change this!

How we can help:
✔️ Neutering - this helps prevent unexpected and/or unwanted litters
✔️ Microchipping - make sure contact details are up to date!
✔️ Adopt don't shop - consider adopting a pet (if possible)
✔️ Donating to an animal rescue centre

Have you adopted a stray pet? We would love to see and hear about your stories down below ❤️🐾

🐰 HAPPY EASTER 🐰

Happy Easter from all of us at Team Tweed, we hope you all have a lovely day!

Please remember to keep any Easter treats out of paw’s reach!

Bunnies are for life, not just for Easter 🐇

Rabbits are often bought as low maintenance pets, under the misconception that they are easy to care for pets. However, they require the same commitment as a dog or cat would. It is important to not take the decision lightly when considering whether to add a bunny to your family.

We would urge that before committing to any pet, please make sure you have fully educated yourself on everything involved in their care first!

🐣🪻 Easter Dangers 🪻🐣

Although we all love the yummy treats that Easter brings, unfortunately they can be dangerous to our pets. It is super important to keep them out of paw's reach!

The most important items to keep well away from your pets are:
❗️ Chocolate – this contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs
❗️ Raisins, sultanas, currants and grapes – they can all can cause fatal kidney failure
❗️ Some spring bulbs and plants can be poisonous - such as daffodils, amaryllis, hyacinths and tulips to name a few

If you think your pet has eaten something they shouldn't have, please give us a call as soon as possible!

Common signs of poisoning include:
❌ Vomiting
❌ Diarrhoea
❌ Hyperactivity or restlessness
❌ Tremors
❌ Seizures (or fits)

It’s helpful if you keep any packaging and write down the details of anything you think your pet has ingested, for example: when they ate or drank it, how much they have ingested, and what symptoms they are experiencing.

We are having electrical works carried out at our Yeadon branch today, Friday 22nd March. This will cause disruption to our service so please bear with us. Our phones may go off at intervals. We are taking urgent cases only today. Thanks for your understanding.

❗️ IMPORTANT NOTICE - RCVS GUIDANCE ❗️

=============================

From the 12th January 2024 there has been a change in guidance on how we prescribe and dispense medications set by RCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons - our governing body)

=============================

❓ WHAT HAS CHANGED? ❓

◼️ A physical examination will be required for the following:
- When prescribing antibiotics, antifungals, antiparasitics or antivirals
- When prescribing controlled drugs
- Where a notifiable disease is suspected

❓ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU? ❓

◼️ All medication will have to be ordered in advance, either by phone or using the form on our website (linked below) - please notify us at least 24 hours before you would like to collect

◼️ Depending when we last saw your pet, we may need to see them for a physical examination before we can prescribe anymore medication

◼ This now includes prescriptions for flea and worm products

=============================

For further information and to request any medication please see our website:

Please notify us at least 24 hours before you want to collect a repeat prescription because a vet must check and approve all repeat prescriptions and some medications may need to be ordered first. We will contact you to let you know that your prescription is ready to collect. Some prescriptions may...
