🐾 Understanding the Benefits of Solensia & Beransa 🐾

As our beloved pets age, arthritis and joint pain can slowly take away the things they love most—running, playing, jumping, climbing stairs, or even simply getting comfortable for a nap.

Thankfully, veterinary medicine has come a long way, and treatments such as Solensia (for cats) and Beransa (for dogs) are helping many pets regain comfort and enjoy life again.

✨ Benefits of Solensia & Beransa:

🐶🐱 Targeted pain relief for osteoarthritis

🐾 Improved mobility and movement, helping pets return to activities they may have stopped enjoying

💙 Better quality of life, with many owners noticing their pets seem happier, more comfortable, and more engaged

💉 Simple monthly injection administered by your veterinarian

🌟 Specifically designed to target the pain associated with osteoarthritis

Many owners report seeing positive changes such as:
✔️ Easier movement after resting
✔️ Increased willingness to walk, play, or climb stairs
✔️ Improved mood and interaction
✔️ Better overall comfort

🎉 SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY 🎉

If you think your furry friend may be showing signs of arthritis, now is the perfect time to book an appointment with our veterinary team.

Simply:

Around 4 in 10 cats and dogs develop osteoarthritis (OA) - yet many live with it undetected.
You know your pet best. If you’ve noticed your cat slowing down, having difficulty jumping or using stairs, or seeming less interested in play, it could be OA.
Effective pain relief is the foundation of a successful treatment plan, and can help ease OA discomfort and improve mobility and quality of life for both cats and dogs. Visit us in the clinic today — let’s work together to help your pet live comfortably and pain-free.

Take a look at this checklist, if this sounds familiar and you feel that your cat would benefit from some pain relief as we come into the colder months, please give us a call and make an appointment.

Cats hide their pain so well, unfortunately meaning they suffer long term without any relief.

Is Your Dog Showing Signs of Osteoarthritis Pain? 😖
Not all dogs cry or whimper when they are experiencing OA pain.
An OA diagnosis can be missed in some dogs because the signs may be subtle or overlooked as normal changes related to ageing.

OA cannot be cured, but fortunately there is a convenient monthly
treatment that can help alleviate your dog’s pain. Beransa (bedinvetmab) is an innovative therapy called a Monoclonal Antibody (‘mAb’). It is a biological therapy that works like your dog’s own immune system. It targets and neutralizes excess Nerve
Growth Factor (NGF), a protein that stimulates pain in patients with OA. Through this action, one Beransa injection alleviates OA pain in dogs for a full month. 💊

Take a look at this easy to follow hand-out that helps to pin point whether your dog may be suffering with pain.

Coming into the colder months, it is the perfect time to make sure your dog is comfortable and feeling their best 💜
If Beransa sounds like something that would help your dog, please do not hesitate to give us a call 📲

If you’ve got an older dog, a big breed, or a zoomie enthusiast who’s starting to feel their age… this could make a real difference.

In response to the nationwide shortage of Prime 100 crocodile rolls they have released information on two possible alternative options for those dogs that have sensitivities and allergies.
Both of these options are novel proteins - perfect options to swap to from the crocodile rolls, whilst still avoiding common triggers like beef, chicken, lamb, etc.

🧡 PRIME 100 VENISON 🧡
SPD™ Fresh Roll Venison & Sweet Potato is a novel, hypoallergenic, single protein diet created for dogs with suspected food sensitivities, skin allergies or digestive issues. Ideal for elimination diets, food trials or to be fed as an ongoing maintenance diet. This complete and balanced diet is formulated for adult and senior dogs with acute gastrointestinal indications such as IBD or diabetes. With added natural digestive enzymes to help improve gastrointestinal health and added functional oils rich in EPA and DHA for optimum skin, coat, and bone health.

💚 PRIME 100 PEA & ALGAE 💚
Prime100 Pea & Algae Oil is a novel, hypoallergenic, non-meat-based elimination diet, made specifically for dogs with suspected allergies and/or sensitivities. This diet is complete and balanced for adult dogs and contains natural anti-inflammatory and antihistamine ingredients. Formulated with essential amino acids lysine and methionine, natural digestive enzymes, and prebiotics, to help improve gastrointestinal immunity. Added taurine to support heart function, vision, and fat digestion. Low in fat, which is ideal for dogs with pancreatitis, and low in phosphorous to support dogs with renal issues.

We have ordered both of these options and they should be available as of tomorrow. The prime crocodile shortage looks like it may be an ongoing issue for the next few weeks at least, so trying alternatives may be a good idea for the meantime.

🐾 Is your dog constantly itching? 🐾

If your pup struggles with relentless scratching, licking, or chewing from allergies, Cytopoint is one option to try and help provide relief.

Cytopoint is an injection that targets the itch at its source, and many dogs experience comfort that lasts for weeks.

Every dog is different, so it’s always best to have a chat with us about whether Cytopoint is right for your furry friend. But if you’ve been watching your dog itch nonstop, it might be worth asking about.

A more comfortable, happier pup is always the goal 💛🐶
