Fear of dogs is often caused by a negative experience with dogs during childhood, leading to fear and anxiety when dealing with dogs later in life. 🐕

If cynophobia is something that afflicts you, being around dogs might be the last thing you want to do! However, exposure to friendly and well-behaved dogs in a safe and controlled environment, and managed by a mental health professional, can be the best way to overcome this fear.

Did you know that behavioural problems are one of the main reasons for people giving up their dogs?

When we have a dog join our family, especially a puppy, we need to be mindful that there’s a lot they need to learn! Their learning curve might be difficult for you to navigate on your own, and this can lead to behavioural problems, such as:

🐕 Control problems like pulling on the lead, and not coming when called

🐕 Attention-seeking behaviours like jumping up to people, and clinginess

🐕 Aggressive behaviours towards other dogs, or even people

🐕 Fear/avoidance behaviours like anxiety around other dogs, or loud noises (such as fireworks)

If you’re struggling with any of these, it’s important not to resort to negative reinforcement/positive punishment. Shouting at your dog or using training equipment that’s unpleasant to them can result in even more behavioural issues due to the fear and anxiety these methods usually cause.

If you’re thinking about getting a dog, or have a dog with behavioural issues, please get in touch with us and we can help you find the best solutions for you and your pet!

You’ve probably heard of AI technology and might even use it to pose questions about your pet’s health. 🤖

Although AI language models can provide general information on veterinary conditions, this information can often be wrong or untrustworthy, since you can’t know the source.

Diagnosing a pet is a complex process involving a physical examination, diagnostic testing and evaluation of results, and considering other factors, such as species, age, lifestyle, and other illnesses. 🩺

With all of this information, your human vet will be able to develop an individualised treatment plan based on your pet’s needs and your own lifestyle. Not to mention that your vet will also consider what’s ethical, something AI models can’t do!

Does your pet...

👉 … eat a lot but seem to be losing weight?

👉 … drink too much water?

👉 … seem lethargic and not wanting to play as much?

👉 … urinate more than usual?

If you recognise these signs, your pet might have diabetes!

Also called diabetes mellitus, this disease causes cats and dogs to have insulin issues that prevent them from regulating their blood sugar. An excessive increase in blood sugar, if sustained for too long, can damage many organs, including the brain, kidneys, and eyes.

Fortunately, with the proper medication, this condition can be managed successfully. If you see any of these signs, don't hesitate to talk to us!

Did you know that cats like to play fetch? 😺

According to research, cats who initiate fetching sessions play with more enthusiasm and invite you to play with them more frequently.

But not all cats enjoy playing fetch, and it’s important to pay attention to your feline’s preferences, since play is essential for a cat’s wellbeing and strengthens your bond with your furry friend.

Dogs were one of the first animals to be domesticated, and over the thousands of years they’ve lived alongside us, they have developed additional forms of communication to talk to their human friends. 🐾

Our pets are living longer and longer these days, and although that means we get to spend more time with them, it also increases the likelihood of them being diagnosed with a chronic illness at some point in their lives. 🐈🐕

Here are some tips for dealing with a long-term disease:

👉 Don't be afraid to ask us difficult questions or to speak up when you don't fully understand what we're explaining to you.

👉 Feel free to ask us to write down any information regarding your pet's condition or medication.

👉 Monitor the evolution of your pet's clinical signs and bring them in (or give us a call) if you spot something concerning.

👉 If you need to leave your pet with someone else, make sure they have all the necessary instructions to take care of your pet and our phone number saved on their phone if needed.

Ultimately, we're here to help you and your pet navigate this difficult situation, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

Did you know that pets can recognise our facial expressions? 🧑 Long years of domestication and friendship have allowed them to recognise many of our facial expressions and react accordingly.

As we bond with our pets, we also start to understand their different vocalisations and body language much more easily.
