Did you know that not disposing of your pets unused antibiotics correctly can lead to bacterial resistance and can cause serious health problems for you and your pets?
Please help to keep us all safe and hand your pets unused antibiotics to any of our practices.
Usually when we give treats to pets in the waiting area we get a sit, paw or tail wag🐾🐾
But not Murphy, Murphy has learnt a new trick for his treats, I’m sure we can all agree it is adorable!
Good job Murphy!

Happy St George's Day
Happy St George’s Day everyone!
Did you know that St. George is also the patron saint of England, Georgia, Malta, Ethiopia, Bulgaria, Portugal and Slovenia!
Be Tick Aware
#BeTickAware and watch our Top Tips!
Know what ticks look like, where they can be found and practice prevention behaviours to avoid bites. Also, what to do if you or your pet are bitten by a tick.
Why Do Cats Vomit?
Cats can feel vulnerable when they eat. If we fill small bowls deeply with food, your cat could bolt down large mouthfuls of food too quickly, which can lead to vomiting. To prevent this, try offering multiple food stations with small portion sizes.
If your cat has a persistent problem with vomiting please contact our veterinary team as there are other potential problems that can cause this.
Cat Treat
We all love to treat our furry friends however, it is good to also look at other ways in which we can spoil them.

Happy St David's Day!
Happy St David’s Day everyone!
Traditionally, people of Wales would wear one or both of the national emblems: a daffodil or leek. Did you know that both of these are in fact toxic to cats and dogs, so make sure that they are kept out of their reach!

This beautiful girl, Kenzi, thoroughly enjoyed her visit for a routine check-up today!
Routine check-ups can help us detect problems as early as possible to enable the best care for your pet. It can also help our furry friends feel more at home coming to visit us if they do so more regularly...as you can see from the video below!😍
Pets signed up to our Pet Health Club get a vet check every 6 months as part of their preventative health care plan. Ask us about the PHC at your next visit!
