This International Cat Day, we’d like to focus on our feline friends. 🐈

We understand how stressful vet visits can be for cats - dealing with barking dogs, unfamiliar smells, and strange environments.

At Doorstep Vet, your cat can have a completely different experience. First of all, we save you and your cat the hassle of car rides by bringing our mobile vet practice straight to your door.

And as your cat (or cats!) is the only pet at our mobile practice, we ensure they receive a truly personalised visit in a comfortable environment.

As you can see by the photo, we’re also ready to deal with all feline mischief! 😅😺

How many cat litter trays do I need? 🤔 We often get this question from owners with multicat households, in particular, when one of their feline friends is experiencing urinary problems or starts house-soiling.

The current recommendations state that you should have one more litter tray than the number of cats in the house, so you can help reduce stress and avoid any bullying due to competition that might aggravate any pre-existing issues.

If your cats are having difficulties using the litter tray, don’t hesitate to reach out 📲

Is there anything better than having a lovingly crafted, unique portrait or sculpture of your beloved pets?

These mementos are things we will treasure forever, so we think it’s a great idea to commission an artist to do something truly special for your pets.

Do you know any artists that do pet portraits or other types of art for owners? Share their info with us and don’t forget to show us their art!

When was the last time your cat had their blood pressure measured? 😺 This simple check is quick and painless, helping us catch hypertension (high blood pressure) as early as possible.

Hypertension is often silent at first but, as it progresses, it can cause problems to sensitive organs, such as the eyes and the kidneys. This condition can also signal serious underlying problems like hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid) or chronic kidney disease.

This is why we encourage owners with cats over the age of seven years old to come see us for blood pressure monitoring at least once a year.

Schedule yours now! 📅

Have you ever walked barefoot on hot pavement on a really warm day? 🤔 Those of us unfortunate enough to suffer through this will know it’s very easy to end up with a painful burn, and the same is true for our pets!

During these days, we advise you to avoid going on walks throughout the hottest hours of the day and testing the pavement with the five-second rule. This means you lay your hand on the pavement, and if you can’t keep it there for five seconds, it’s a good indication that your pet will feel uncomfortable there as well.

Do you think your pet might have suffered paw pad burns? Don’t hesitate to talk to us!

Just like us, dogs and cats can have high blood pressure as they age. But getting accurate BP readings can be tricky, which is why we make the process as unrushed and stress free as possible!

Here’s Basil (yes Basil 🫢) enjoying his blood pressure reading, whilst winning the prize for most chilled out patient of the day!

Thank you, Nikki, for your kind words!

Simply put, we bring veterinary care straight to your doorstep.

To make the most out of our visit, we’ll call you when we’re on our way so you can have your pet ready once we get there. This means putting your dog on a lead and ensuring cats and small animals are adequately confined. 🐶😺🐰

Our appointments typically take place in our mobile vet practice, as it’s fully equipped. However, if that’s not possible, we’re happy to work with you to find the best alternative arrangements.

There are actions we can take to help reduce our pets' impact on the planet, as well as our own. 🌍

It’s and it got us thinking – As pet owners ourselves, what can we do to contribute to a better future for the environment?

Here are some ideas:

🐾 Choosing pet accessories made of long lasting, recyclable materials like leather and metal

🐾 Buying food in bulk bags or tins

🐾 Making or buying non-plastic toys

What are your thoughts? 🤔

⭐️ New Team Member ⭐️

We’re excited to introduce you to Gabby, who has recently joined us as Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN).

Gabby has 20 years’ experience working in vet practices, and has been an RVN for the past 16 years - another very safe pair of hands to look after your pets! She will be out and about in our van, assisting with vet visits and also performing her own nurse consults.

She’s also rather good at baking which has gone down very well in the office 😂

We are thrilled to have her as part of our team! Welcome Gabby!

Meet our Practice Owner, Joanna! 🥳

Joanna graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh and has worked in the veterinary industry for over 20 years.

Over this time, she worked for a variety of practices across the UK.

Driven by a personal understanding of the stress and impersonal nature of some veterinary experiences, Joanna took the initiative to set up Doorstep Vet. Her aim was to create a more personal and less stressful experience for both pets and their owners, a mission that continues to guide our practice today.

Jo is deeply passionate about all aspects of general practice care, with a particular focus on internal medicine and the management of chronic health conditions, especially in senior pets.

She lives in Northumberland with her husband, two children, a young black Labrador called Isla and a rescue cat called Milo. 🐶😺

Head over to our website to meet the rest of our team 🔗 https://doorstep.vet/about-us/

We’re not quite sure where this week went but somehow it’s Friday evening already!

We’ve really enjoyed both seeing old and new faces this week. Here’s a snap of Jo with one of our regulars Lui who we had the pleasure of seeing twice this week 😉

Did you know that, just like us, 78% of cats have a preference to using their right paw or their left one? 😺🤚 Males tend to use their left paw, while females prefer the right one.

What about your cat, do you think they’re right-pawed or left-pawed? Share below!

Did you know that a rabbit’s diet should be 80% hay? 🐇

This Rabbit Awareness Week, the focus is on the key to a happy and healthy bunny being a varied diet. So, what different foods do you need to offer your rabbit? 🤔

👉 Hay and grass: Unlimited access to hay is key in bunnies’ diet - the greener the better! Though they also enjoy grazing on grass, avoid feeding your rabbit grass clippings as these can be harmful.

👉 Pellets: These are also important in rabbits’ nutrition, and we’d recommend feeding them a small amount of pellets per day – but not too much!

👉 Fresh greens: A handful of fresh greens every day is what’s left to ensure your rabbits’ diet is balanced. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, and herbs such as mint and parsley are great options!

If a rabbit has an unbalanced diet, it can affect their health and make them unwell. If you’re unsure on what to feed your rabbit, give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have.

What’s your rabbit’s favourite food? We’d love to see photos! 📷 Post them in the comments below.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats is a very common problem. 😿 This progressive disease can have subtle signs at the start like an increase in drinking, but over time, symptoms become more severe and noticeable. Get to know the most common signs of chronic kidney disease with our video, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you are concerned about your feline friends’ health 🐈🐾

It was a big day for 8 week old Ella and her brother Will today as they had their first vaccinations and microchip - she nearly fell asleep with all the excitement 🥰 #puppiesofinstagram #vets #mobilevets #newcastle #doorstepvet #northeast

We have a few tricks up our sleeve when we need our feline patients to sit still for a blood test 🐱. One of our favourites is the “Lick-e-Lix distraction technique” which was a big hit with Reggie today. We had to get our skates on as he demolished the whole thing in a flash and then started on the packaging 🙀 #lickelix #vets #doorstepvet #newcastle #catsofinstagram #mobilevets

Meet 6 week old Fawn, who stole our hearts today🥰. Can’t wait to see her in a few weeks’ time to see how much she’s grown! #kittensofinstagram #vets #newcastle #mobilevets #doorstepvet

Ear infections are common in dogs, particularly those with long, floppy ears, such as Cocker Spaniels and Basset Hounds, or those who suffer from certain medical conditions, such as allergies 🐶 These can be extremely painful and lead to serious complications, such as meningitis (infection of the membranes that protect the brain) and hearing loss if not promptly addressed ⚠️ Watch our video to learn how to recognise if your dog might be suffering from an ear infection, and if you have any concerns, please reach out!

🤔Who let the cat out of the bag? 🤔 sorry 😞 Unity was certainly ready to explore today when we went to see her for her second vaccination. We didn’t have much success getting her to sit still for a photo, video was much easier! 😂. 🐾. #doorstepvet #kittensofinstagram #mobilevet #newcastle

14 week old Robin was REALLY enjoying his Dreamies during his vet check today 😹😋 Did you know that we offer a kitten and puppy starter pack for £120 which includes 2 visits, a health check, 2 vaccines, a microchip and a month’s worth of flea and worm treatment? We like to think that this is pretty good value 💰and gets little ones off to the best start in life. #doorstepvet #mobilevets #vetsnortheast #newcastle
