🐾 Found Dog – Border Terrier (Male) 🐾

EDIT; little guy has been collected by the dog warden, if you'd like to give any information to us or to the wardens please do!

A male Border Terrier has been brought into our clinic after being found. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly where he was picked up, as he was just dropped in to us.

No collar, leash or ID tag

No microchip detected

Appears nervous and unsure, and doesn’t seem comfortable being touched at the moment

He is safe and being cared for here, but we’d love to reunite him with his family. If you recognize this dog or have any information, please contact the clinic directly at 018406135. Proof of ownership will be required.

Please share to help spread the word 💙

🎃🐾 🐾🎃

Wishing all our furry, feathered, and scaled friends a spook-tacular Halloween! 👻 While you're enjoying treats and costumes, here are some paw-some Halloween pet facts and tips to keep your pets safe and happy:

🧛‍♂️ Did You Know?

🦴 Dogs have over 1,700 taste buds (we have 9,000!) — so while they love treats, not all human ones are safe!

🍬 Trick or Treat (but no chocolate, please!)
Chocolate, xylitol (in sugar-free candy), and raisins are toxic to pets. Keep the candy bowl out of paw’s reach!

🎭 Costume Check!
Dressing up your pet? Make sure their costume fits comfortably, doesn’t block vision or breathing, and is free from choking hazards.

🔔 Beware of the Doorbell!
Frequent doorbell rings can stress pets out. Try keeping them in a quiet room with their favourite toy or calming music during peak trick-or-treat hours.

stay safe, have fun, and give your pets a little extra love this Howl-oween! 🎃🐾

🐾 Wellness Monday: Dental Health Matters! 🦷🐶🐱

Today’s Tip: Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth

Just like us, pets need regular dental care to stay healthy. 🪥 Plaque buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and even affect the heart and kidneys.

✅ Tip: Start brushing your pet’s teeth a few times a week using a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste (never use human toothpaste—it can be harmful!).

✨ Even a little brushing goes a long way toward keeping that breath fresh and those teeth strong!

🗓️ Need help getting started? Ask us about dentals or book a dental check up today!

🦷🐾 Why Do Cats & Dogs Need Regular Dental Check-Ups? 🐾🦷

Did you know that by age 3, most pets show signs of dental disease? 😿🐶

Just like humans, cats and dogs can suffer from plaque, tartar buildup, gum disease, and even tooth loss — and it’s often painful and hard to spot. That’s why regular dental check-ups at the vet are so important!

✨ Here’s why it matters:
✔️ Prevents bad breath, tooth decay & infections
✔️ Catches problems early (before they get painful or expensive!)
✔️ Helps protect heart, liver & kidney health
✔️ Keeps your pet happy, healthy & pain-free!

🩺 At your pet’s dental check-up, we assess their mouth, and give you tips for home care. 🪥💕

📅 Don’t wait for symptoms — by the time you smell it, the damage may already be done!
📍 Schedule your pet’s dental check-up with us today and keep those tails wagging and purrs coming! ❤️

🐶🐾 Fun Fact Monday! 🐾🐱
Start your week with a smile — did you know...
Dogs' noses are wet to help them absorb scent chemicals! 👃💧
That wet nose acts like a scent magnet, helping them sniff out all sorts of things (including the treat you thought you hid so well 😅).

Got a super sniffer at home? Bring them in for a wellness check — we’ll make sure that amazing nose stays in tip-top shape! 🩺🐕

🍂🐾 Autumn Pet Tips from Applewood Veterinary Clinic 🐾🍂

The evenings are getting shorter, there’s a nip in the air, and autumn is creeping closer! 🍁🐶🐱

Here are a few seasonal tips to help keep your pets safe and well this time of year:

✅ Mushrooms in the garden or park: Ireland’s mild, wet autumns are perfect for wild mushrooms, but some can be toxic to pets. Keep an eye on curious sniffers!
✅ Colder nights: Make sure your pet has a warm, dry, and draught-free sleeping area.
✅ Seasonal allergies: Itchy skin, sneezing, or watery eyes? Pets can suffer from autumn allergies just like us — give us a ring if you notice any symptoms!
✅ Halloween & Fireworks: September and October can be a noisy time of year! Now’s the time to prepare your pets for fireworks. We’re happy to advise on how to keep them calm and comfortable.

Stay warm, stay safe — and give your pets a cuddle from all of us here at Applewood Veterinary Clinic! 💚🐾
