A small cuff is placed around your cat's leg or tail, and several readings are taken to obtain an accurate result. The procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive.

๐Ÿ’™ Blood pressure monitoring is especially important for:
โ€ข Senior cats
โ€ข Cats with kidney disease
โ€ข Cats with hyperthyroidism
โ€ข Cats with heart disease

Because some cats can become nervous at the vet, we always try to provide a calm environment and allow time for them to settle before taking readings.

Regular blood pressure checks can help us detect problems early and keep your feline friend feeling their best for longer. ๐Ÿพ

From learning the basics like sit, stay, and recall, to building confidence and social skills, these clever pups have come such a long way. Their humans deserve a big round of applause too โ€” puppy parenting is no easy task! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿถ

Thank you to everyone who continues to join us and trust us to be part of your puppyโ€™s journey. We absolutely love watching these little personalities grow each week!

No โ€“ many lumps are benign (non-cancerous). However, some can be more serious, so checking them early is always recommended.

As pets get older, lumps become more common - but that doesnโ€™t mean they should be ignored.
Some lumps are simply part of ageing, but others may need monitoring or treatment.

Common myths we hear:
โŒ โ€œItโ€™s not bothering them, so it must be fineโ€
โŒ โ€œItโ€™s just old ageโ€
โŒ โ€œIt hasnโ€™t changed, so we donโ€™t need to check itโ€

Tracking changes is important because size, texture and growth rate can help guide next steps.
Helpful tips:
๐Ÿ“ท Take a photo to monitor changes
๐Ÿ“ Make a note of size
๐Ÿ“ Keep track of any changes over time

When it comes to lumps, earlier is always better ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“… Book a Lump Month check if youโ€™ve noticed anything new

Did you know many lumps in pets are completely benign?

Common non-cancerous lumps include:
โœ” fatty lumps (lipomas)
โœ” cysts
โœ” warts
โœ” histiocytomas (often seen in younger dogs)

However, some lumps can be ๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐š๐ง๐ญ (๐œ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ) and may require treatment or removal.
Because lumps can feel very similar on the outside, testing is often the only way to know what weโ€™re dealing with.

What you can do at home:
๐Ÿพ Give your pet a gentle monthly pat-down
๐Ÿพ Keep an eye out for any new lumps
๐Ÿพ Monitor for changes in size or appearance

Finding lumps early often means more treatment options and better outcomes.

If you feel something new or different, weโ€™re here to help.
