Did you know that cats sleep an average of 15 hours per day?
Some can even snooze for up to 20 hours! 😴 Dogs aren’t far behind them, especially seniors and puppies.
Just like us, pets need quality sleep for their health and wellbeing. Today, let’s celebrate the art of napping -
whether it’s a cozy cat curled up in a sunbeam or a dog dreaming of their next adventure.
Share a picture of your pet in their favourite snoozing spot! 📷�
Happy boxing day from all of us at Ambivet. ☃🐾
We hope you and your pets are enjoying the festive season and taking time to relax after all the Christmas excitement! Whether it's extra cuddles, a winter walk or snoozing by the fire, we hope today is filled with joy and warmth.
Remember, the holidays can sometimes bring unexpected surprises for our furry friends. If you need us, we’re here to help – contact our Heanor out of hours team on 01773 717 780. 📞
Oh look! It's Reggie again 🐱😍
Popping back on our screens to spread festive cheer 🎄☃️❄️
Antibiotic amnesty 2024
What is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)?
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop defences that protect them from antibiotic medications, making treatment less effective Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing problem worldwide, affecting both human and animal health. Antibiotics are essential when treating many conditions in animals and people, but bacteria are becoming resistant to many antibiotics that we rely on in human and veterinary medicine.Our practice is taking part in the antibiotic amnesty this November. Clients can return any unused or out of date antibiotics to us for safe disposal.

Antibiotic amnesty 2024
Our practice is taking part in the 2024 Antibiotic Amnesty. Throughout November 2024 we are asking pet owners to return any unused or leftover antibiotic medications to us for safe disposal. Please drop off any unused medications to us at the practice.
You can hand them in to a vet, nurse or the reception team. This medication might be left-over from a recent prescription, antibiotics that you didn’t need or out-of-date medication.
Let’s keep antibiotics working, together!
#AntibioticAmnesty #onehealth
You may remember recently that our Ripley team put on a raffle with a chance to win one of multiple fantastic hampers. Receptionist Alison had the privilege of pulling out the winners for each hamper.
We are proud to say our staff raised over £264.67 for Thornberry animal sanctuary. 🥳🥳
Don't forget to check Thornberry Animal Sanctuary out and see what great work they do!
Thank you to everyone who took part! If your pet won some goodies, please feel free to share some pictures of them enjoying them below😊

AMR and the environment
💊 The environment is at risk if antibiotics aren’t disposed of properly. If
antibiotics are disposed of inappropriately e.g. via household waste, this can
contribute to antimicrobial resistance in the environment
💊 Always return unused or out of date antibiotics to your vet for safe disposal
💊 Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest global health issues of our time. We must act, together.
Our practice is taking part in the antibiotic amnesty this November. Clients can return any unused or out of date antibiotics to us for safe disposal.

Antibiotic amnesty 2024
What to do if you have leftover or unused antibiotics:
💊 Return them to your vet practice for safe disposal
💊 Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics could contribute to antimicrobial
resistance and pollute the environment through waterways, affecting our
wildlife
💊 Don’t ever give your pet, or any pet for which they haven’t been prescribed, left-over or out of date antibiotics. Using antibiotics when not needed could
risk side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis for your pet, mean that your
pets condition may not be treatable, and contributes to antimicrobial
resistance
Our practice is taking part in the antibiotic amnesty this November. Clients can return any unused or out of date antibiotics to us for safe disposal.
