🐇 Did you know rabbits need just as much love and care as dogs and cats?
A rabbit’s diet should be 90% hay for healthy teeth and digestion. Adding leafy greens and a small amount of pellets keeps them thriving 🌱

✨ A lovely, relaxing evening with the gorgeous Chip 🙃 She was the perfect company… although she did decide 2am was the right time for a bounce on Sally 🤣🐾

Never a dull moment with our furry friends – and we wouldn’t have it any other way 💛

😺 Cats + Springtime = more shedding!
As the weather warms up, cats start to lose their winter coats. Regular brushing not only keeps fur off your furniture but also prevents hairballs and keeps your kitty comfortable.

✨ Tip: Use a gentle slicker brush or grooming glove for short sessions they enjoy.

Sally had a lovely, peaceful night staying with Nugget and Ted 💛 Nugget tucked himself happily into his crate (with only a few little snores 🤣) while Ted snuggled up close for cuddles. Both pups slept soundly until morning – such good boys!

In the morning it was all sunshine, with the “kids” lounging and soaking it up ☀️🐶🐶

We love giving your pets the comfort and care they’re used to at home – whether that’s a crate, cuddles, or a sunny nap spot.

🐾 Did you know? Spring is the perfect time to check your dog’s flea and worm treatments! Warmer weather means those pesky parasites become more active. Keeping your pup protected helps keep them happy and itch-free. 🌸🐶
👉 Do you have a reminder system for your pet’s treatments?

Play isn’t just for kittens! 🧶
Cats of all ages need daily play to stay mentally sharp and physically active.
Benefits include:
✔ Reducing stress and anxiety
✔ Preventing weight gain
✔ Strengthening your bond
✔ Mimicking natural hunting instincts

Try feather wands, treat balls, or a good old cardboard box. What’s your cat’s favourite toy?

Musty can keep Retha guessing with a barky hello at the door, then instant besties once inside 🐾💛

She wasn’t up for a walk, so after a quick toilet break, Musty made a beeline straight back into the house—maybe she knew she had a massage booked in! 😉

Retha focused on her back muscles, which were quite tight, but Musty handled it like a champ and seemed much more relaxed afterward. 💆‍♀️🐶✨
