👀Your pet's eyes are sensitive organs and can become extremely painful if damaged and sore. Eyes should be bright and clear with no discharge or redness. There are many causes of eye problems such as trauma, hereditary diseases and old age. If you notice any changes in your pets eyes or they are uncomfortable or rubbing them, it's important to get them checked as soon as possible just like Honduras here. 🥰

⚠️Eye issues can lead quickly to permanent damage or blindness, feel free to call our team for advice and to make an appointment. 07 8492963☎️

Hot spots can occur at any time of the year, however in summer with heat and humidity the bacteria grow quicker making them more common. 😢

Poor 'Waffle' a one year old Bernese Mountain dog had started licking and chewing his back, and was quite uncomfortable, so his hoomans brought him in to get checked out.👍

We clipped the fur covering the hotspot and the infected area cleaned, allowing the air to get to it. Hotspots can be quite large, which you don't notice until the fur is clipped away. They can also be painful, so your pet may need to be sedated. Treatments may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, pain relief and steroids to reduce the itchiness. 🐶🧑‍⚕️

Poor 'Waffle' went home feeling better, but will have to wear the 'cone of shame' until it clears up to prevent him from licking it.🤦‍♀️

If you notice your pet chewing or licking excessively at one particular area, give the team a call on 07 8492963 for advice and get it checked out.☎️

🐾 Paw ‘Maui’, a cute Japenese Spitz cross, cut his paw while out on a walk. 😢

It might not look big but the wound is deep. After thoroughly cleaning, tissue glue was used to close the wound. Bandaging is required for the next few days to keep it clean and dry along with antibiotics.
Activities such as Doggie DayCare are put on hold while he recovers.👍

Cuts on paws can take a while to heal, therefore limited exercise allowing the wound to knit together is crucial. Maui was a super patient and just lapped up all the attention!🥰

️🐈 We talk a lot about keeping our dogs cool in the summer, but what about our feline friends❓

We’ve been asked a number of times, what can you do to keep your cats cool, so here you go... whether they will show their appreciation or not is a different matter! 😆

We cannot stress the importance of cool FRESH water every day. Leave a few bowls around outside, so they always have access to water. 💦

️Leave aircon or fan on while they are in the house, even if you go out. They'll still be there when you get back! Or leave windows open and curtains closed, to try and create a through draft.🏠

Try feeding some wet food for its water content or freeze some in an ice tray to create a cool treat.

Invest in a water fountain, cats love them and it encourages them to drink. Check out your local pet store. A cooling mat is another great option.💧

Brush their coats regularly and get rid of all that loose fur. Have you ever thought of giving your cat a groom in summer? Give our team a call to find out more. 07 8492963. ☎️

💜PURPLE POPPY DAY - FEBRUARY 24th 2025💜

Most people are unaware that as well as the traditional commemorative red poppy there is also the purple poppy.

It is a symbol of remembrance for animals that served and still do serve during war and conflict. 🐴🐕

It estimated that 8 million animals sacrificed their lives during World War I alone. They played a crucial role carrying supplies, locating the wounded and providing support out on the battlefield.

Purple Poppy Day is commemorated every year on the 24th of February. Let us take a moment to remember these brave animals, their deeds, their sacrifices and the ones still out there serving their country.💜

Don’t Share Yours…
make your doggo their very own ice-block! 😋🐶

Everyone is feeling the heat at the moment and we are not the only ones in need of a little refreshment. Make your doggo some treat filled ice blocks to help keep them cool and entertained! ❤️

Butter or ice cream containers are great to use. Fill them with water or low sodium broth and place in the container some of their favourite things…

1) Some of your dogs favourite treats
2) Favourite toys
3) Mashed up banana or some dollops of peanut butter. (Make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol as this is toxic to dogs.)👍

Simply put in the freezer overnight and watch your pooches enjoy them the next day!

🐈 For our feline friends, try freezing some tinned cat food in an old ice tray, and watch them enjoy! 😋

What are you going to put in your pets ice blocks❓

🥵 HEATSTROKE, WHAT IS IT❓

It’s hot out there and many pets suffer with inadequate shade, no fresh water and overly exercised. Heat stroke is when your dogs or cats body temperature is elevated and they have difficulty cooling themselves down. They are much more sensitive to heat than humans and are unable to sweat like we do.😢

Your pet may start panting excessively, drooling, vomiting, have muscle tremors becoming weak and stressed leading them to collapse and lose consciousness.🐈🐕‍🦺

💧To cool them down, wet them thoroughly with cool but not freezing water, particularly their paws and tummy. Lie them on a cool concrete floor if possible next to the air conditioning or a fan and encourage them to drink if you can. Even if they seem to be improving please call your vet as they may need to be monitored. If they lose consciousness, start seizing or vomiting, please seek veterinary treatment immediately.🧑‍⚕️

‼️Remember avoid exercising or working your dog in the heat of the day and provide them with plenty of fresh water and shade. Never leave your dog or cat inside a parked car and groomimg them in the summer can really help❣️
