There’s nothing like a nice pamper to brighten our pets’ days! 😊

A**l glands are part of the exit portion of your dog’s digestive system, and they produce an important secretion that helps them communicate. 🐕

However, at times, these glands can get blocked due to overfilling or digestive issues like persistent diarrhoea. When this happens, the glands can get irritated and might even become prone to infections if not treated in time.

If you notice your dog is dragging their bum on the floor, nibbling constantly at that area or seems uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to give us a call! 📲

Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can cause real trouble for dogs, especially those with long or fluffy coats. 🐶

Grass seeds seem designed to travel and can easily get lodged in:

✔ Paws and between toes

✔ Ears

✔ Eyes

✔ Under the skin

After walks, check your dog carefully and remove any seeds straight away. If you notice limping, head shaking or swelling, get in touch with us.

Now that the days are longer and warmer, we all want to get outside and enjoy some adventures with our dogs. But it’s important to be mindful that hot weather can be dangerous for dogs.

Here are our top tips for keeping dogs safe in hot weather:

😎 Provide shade and fresh water

😎 Know the signs of heat stroke and cooling first aid

😎 Use pet-safe sun cream on areas such as the tip of the ears and nose

😎 Mornings and evenings are best for outdoor adventures

😎 Remember the 5-second rule (place your hand on the ground for 5 seconds, and if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog)

Blood tests can provide us with a wide range of information about our patients' health at that particular moment in time.

There are many situations where we might need to take a blood sample of your pet, such as:

🩸 Before your pet is under anaesthesia for a surgical procedure, to ensure the kidney and liver are working well

🩸As part of a routine check-up to get a good baseline of information

🩸 During senior health checks, so we can identify any health problems that might show up with ageing

🩸 Screening for health problems when your pet is feeling unwell

🩸 Monitoring long-term treatments to make sure medicines are working as intended

Rest assured that our team of vets and vet nurses is highly trained in taking blood samples and will ensure a stress-free procedure!

Even with the windows open, parked cars heat up fast, and dogs can’t cool down if enclosed in a hot environment.

On a warm day, the inside of a car can reach over 40°C in just 10 minutes, which can easily lead to heat stroke. 🌡️

Never leave your dog in the car, not even for a quick errand. It’s not worth the risk.

Did you know it’s a legal requirement for both dogs and cats to be microchipped? 🤔

Microchipping is a simple and quick procedure that gives your pet the best chance of being reunited with you if they ever go missing.

Not sure if your pet’s microchip details are up to date? We’re happy to check! Just get in touch with us.

Although any dog can suffer from heat stroke, certain types of dogs, like older dogs, puppies or dogs with underlying health conditions, are more susceptible to this life-threatening problem. 🌡️

There are also breeds that are more vulnerable to heat stroke. According to the VetCompass Programme at the Royal Veterinary College, Bulldogs are 14 times more likely to suffer any heat-related illness than Labrador Retrievers.

In a different study, over a third of pet owners reported that heat regulation is a problem for their flat-faced dogs.

If your dog is at a higher risk of heat stroke, please look out for signs such as breathing difficulties (panting excessively), lethargy or drowsiness. If you recognise any, immediately help your dog cool down.

Give us a call if you have any concerns.
