Conkers are a classic part of autumn, but they pose a serious risk to our pets - especially curious dogs who love to pick things up with their mouths.

👉 Conkers can cause tummy upsets, blockages, and even contain toxic compounds can be harmful if ingested. They're also a choking hazard, particularly for smaller dogs.

So, while they’re fun for kids to collect, it’s best to steer your dog away from conkers during walks.

⚠️ If your pet has eaten one, or you’re unsure, give us a call right away for advice.

Seasonal Canine Illness is a very rare dog disease of unknown cause that can be potentially fatal. Most cases are seen after woodland walks from August to November.

Vomiting, diarrhoea, tiredness, tremors, and sometimes fevers are the tell-tale symptoms.

Contact us ASAP if you have any concerns or questions📲

🐾🍂 It’s National Walk Your Dog Week… the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy autumn strolls with your four-legged friend!

To keep every walk safe and happy this season, here are a few top tips:

🧥 Stay Warm: Ensure your pet is comfortable and warm with appropriate clothing, especially if they have short fur
⚠️ Watch Out for Hazards: Be mindful of fallen leaves, which can hide potential dangers like sharp objects or holes
🦌 Stay on Leash: With wildlife more active, keep your pet on a leash to prevent unexpected chases
💧 Hydrate: Bring water for your pet, as they can still get thirsty even in cooler weather
✔️ Check for Ticks: Ticks may still be active in October so keep up your tick checks after each walk

Enjoy the beautiful season safely with your pet! 🐾🍂

Tilly visited us recently for her first vet check/vaccine/microchip today, she cried a little (of course considering she's super tiny, how mean of us!) but was super brave regardless 🙂 Well done Tilly for your bravery👏🎖

🐶Meet Bean 🐶

This sweet little girl came in recently for her very first health check and vaccination and she absolutely melted our hearts! 🥰

She’s happy, healthy, and full of personality. We could hardly believe she was shorter than her vaccination card and weighed just 1.4kg.

🐾✨ Puppy Alert! ✨🐾

These seven absolutely gorgeous 8-week-old Labrador puppies visited our Malton practice for their very first health checks and vaccinations 💉💛

They took everything in their stride, soaked up all the cuddles, and a few even dozed off mid-appointment! 😴🐶
