There are two types of people in the morning, or in this case, pets. Does your pet wake up happy, looking fresh and ready to conquer the day, or do they emerge looking like they've been on a wild adventure through the night? 🤪

Cats have very distinctive personalities, and while some enjoy being by your side all the time, requesting pets as they please, and vocalising cheerfully, others are more independent and appreciate the quiet of having a space to themselves.

If you had to describe your cat’s personality, what would you say? Let us know in the comments below! 👇

Dogs are wonderful, joyous animals, but sometimes their timing and enthusiasm can lead to awkward situations, including:

🐶 Fetching dirty laundry in the middle of your date

🐶 Hu***ng a stranger's leg

🐶 Breaking wind in a lift

Has this ever happened to you? 🤭 What was the most embarrassing thing your dog ever did? Share with us in the comments!

Dental care is as important for our pets as it is for us, with periodontitis being one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases in small animals.

However, caring for our pets' teeth and oral health is not something that we tend to do as regularly as recommended.

Let's change that!

➡️ Make sure you have some time to dedicate to implementing this new routine and that you're not going to be rushed.

➡️ Though brushing the teeth is ideal, you can build up to it, as there are other options you can use while you are both still getting the hang of things.

➡️ Offering your pet rewards throughout this learning process can help make this a great bonding experience for both.

What's your pet's dental care routine like? If you'd like any help, don't hesitate to reach out!

Have you noticed that your dog is limping or not as keen to participate in physical activities that they usually enjoy?

Orthopaedic problems are often painful conditions that affect our pets’ mobility and significantly impact their quality of life, including:

🦴 Osteoarthritis

🦴 Fractures

🦴 Intervertebral disc disease

🦴 Hip dysplasia

🦴 Cruciate ligament and other knee injuries

Usually, we have two ways of managing these:

➡️ Conservative treatment, consisting of medication, physical therapy, diet and other complementary therapies

➡️ Surgical treatment

Treatment recommendations will vary depending on the condition and factors related to your dog, such as their lifestyle, age, and how the problem is affecting their quality of life.

If your dog has eaten something that could harm them, you don’t need to be embarrassed to tell us. Yes, we’ve retrieved plenty of unusual objects (🩲🪀) from pets’ gastrointestinal tract before. Accidents happen!

Your pet’s safety and health are our only concerns in these situations, so don’t feel like you need to hold back when talking to our team!

What if we told you that getting your cat to the vets doesn’t have to be dramatic?

😺 Step 1: go get your cat carrier (yes, we mean now)
Making the carrier a part of your cat’s usual environment can help them feel more comfortable with it. Just leave it there in the open, and in no time, you’ll find your cat exploring it. 🔍

😺 Step 2: turn on the appeal
What about putting a blanket inside it? Maybe some toys? A tasty treat? Spraying some relaxing pheromones? The idea here is to find something that your cat likes to lure them into going inside.

😺 Step 3: outright bribery
Once they take the initiative to go inside, make sure to reward them! This can help create a positive association, making it more likely for your cat to want to repeat this behaviour.

This can be a lengthy process, but please don’t rush it. It will all be worth it when you need to bring your cat in! 🐈

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!

One of the great advantages of being a dog parent is that it gives us plenty of opportunities to meet new people!

Doggy playdates, walks in the park, and visiting dog-friendly places are just a few examples of how your dog can help you socialise more, but it may be a little too much if you’re an introverted type of person. 🤭

Tell us – are you and your dog social creatures or would you rather enjoy your walks with each other?

Though there are a number of reasons why adopting a pet is a good idea, there are some against it that need to be considered just as carefully!

Have a look at our checklist below: if you tick any of these boxes, we would recommend not adopting.
If you're in no condition to adopt right now but still love animals unconditionally, why not volunteer at the shelter or consider fostering? They're likely to need the help and, this way, you can share some of your love with animals in need. 🥰

Happy World Radiography Day! X-ray imaging is one of the most widely available forms of non-invasive diagnostic intervention, allowing us to quickly and safely spot broken bones or problems in many internal organs.

Suffice it to say, we couldn’t give your pets the high-quality care you expect from us without them, and we owe the health and quality of life of countless pets to this discovery.

Behind this technology is also our outstanding team, which has the experience and knowledge necessary to capture the best images possible to ensure a proper diagnosis! Has your pet had an X-ray taken with us? Share your experience below. 👇

As we go on amazing walks with our pets during this season, they might be tempted to pick stuff up from the ground that they shouldn’t, and this might include a possibly toxic mushroom!

Wild mushrooms are a common sight during the autumn and there are many different species. Some of these are edible while some can be very dangerous if ingested and distinguishing between these two types can be challenging, as they can look very similar.

If your dog has eaten something they shouldn’t have, call us as soon as possible and, if you can, take a picture of the mushroom they ingested! 📞📷

Cold and damp days ❄️ are not the best for joint pain, which is doubly true for senior dogs 🐶 with a lifetime of wear and tear!

Chronic health conditions such as osteoarthritis are more common with age, and you might notice your golden oldie has a lot more stiffness to their movements during these days, especially as they get out of bed in the morning or are out for walks.

Here are some ways to help:

🦴 Avoid going on long walks or engaging in rough playtime, as it might put undue strain on their joints and muscles.

🦴 Improve their resting time by ensuring their bed is as comfortable as possible and away from cold drafts.

If you notice your furry friend is struggling, don’t hesitate to contact us!
