This lovely elderly girl has been brought in by a lovely member of the public who has been looking after her for the past 8 weeks.
She is microchipped but unfortunately despite ringing a few local clinics and checking the national database we still cant track down her owners.

She is now sporting an awesome collar asking if she goes home to her true owners that they gives us a call and we can let her new found carer know she isnt lost :)

Thankyou

Meet Daisy 🌼

She is our Pet of the Month for October! Daisy came in for a routine health check and to have a lump looked at. While she was here we discovered several other unexpected lumps with their own little heartbeats... Daisy was pregnant! 🐾
Unfortunately, due to the position of the lump on her lower back/upper thigh, she would have had trouble with a natural birth. This meant that she required a caesarian and while she was under anaesthetic the first stage of removing the lump was undertaken. As expected it proved to be very challenging so a further surgery was needed after the puppies were weaned. She continues to be a work in progress but is doing superbly after her surgeries and all of her pups are well.

🐾 Did you know our Pets can get Cancer too? 🐾

November is also cancer awareness month and just like us, our beloved pets can be affected. It's one of the leading health concerns for them, especially as they age. But with early detection and proper care, we can give them the best chance for a happy, healthy life.

Signs to watch for in your pets:
- Unexplained lumps or bumps that may continue to get larger
- Sores that don't seem to heal
- Loss of appetite or sudden changes in weight
- Changes in behaviour or energy
- Difficulty breathing, eating or swallowing

If you notice any of these then don't hesitate to give us a call. Regular check-ups and knowing what to watch for can help us catch issues early.

Spread the word to help other pet parents stay informed and together we can support our furry friends through every stage of life! 🐶🐱

Help us raise awareness for Diabetes this November 🐱🐶

Did you know that Diabetes isn't just a human condition? Our beloved cats and dogs can develop diabetes too. It is a very common, treatable condition and can occur at any age.

Signs of diabetes in pets can include:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Weight loss despite a good appetite
- Lethargy or low energy

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to take your pet to the vet. With early diagnosis and treatment - such as a special diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin, diabetes can be managed, allowing your pet to thrive. 🐾🩺

Lets spread awareness and ensure our pets get the care the deserve. ❤

Guy Fawkes is right around the corner and we know this can be a stressful time for animals and pet owners alike. To help ease the experience as much as possible we have put a few tips together for you.
- Check your pets microchip details are up to date and the ID/registration tag is on your dog's collar
- Take your dog for a walk earlier on in the day before the fireworks start.
- When you are at home it is a good idea to keep all doors, windows and curtains closed to reduce the noise. Keeping the tv or radio on can be good background noise as well to drown out the sound of any fireworks.
- Distractions are great! Toys and treats; reward them for their good behaviour and keep them occupied.
- Act natural, try not to react to the fireworks when you hear them. Our pets are very good at picking up on our emotions so if you are getting annoyed or angry then you will most likely be upsetting them too.
- We do have some products in store we can recommend such as Feliway or Adaptil spray and Thundershirts which are the equivalent of a weighted blanket.
Visit us in-store to chat to our staff if you have any concerns about your pets or are after some advice. We're happy to help! ☺️
