Did you know that many “All-in-one” dog and cat parasite control products don’t fully protect against all the parasites your pet could be exposed to? 🪱

While they usually provide effective skin parasite and heartworm prevention, many of these monthly products don’t actually treat all the common types of intestinal worm (roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and flea tapeworm.)

Additionally, depending on your pet’s lifestyle, they may require additional protection against other tougher species of tapeworm, such as zipper worm and hydatids.

For personalised advice on the right “creepy-crawlies” treatment for your pet, consult our parasite-proficient vets! 💡

Have you got a pet-sitter, friend or family member booked to take care of your dog or cat these holidays? 🐾

Don’t forget to give them a thorough information handover about your pet, including details such as:
✅ Any dietary restrictions
✅ Any known long-term health issues (e.g. arthritis, predisposition to ear problems etc)
✅ When they last received flea/tick/worming prevention, and when they’re next due
✅ Our details (in case of any illness or injuries), and a plan for emergency treatment and payments
✅ If your pet has any behavioural quirks, e.g. storm phobia 🌩️

With the right information, your pet and their carer will be set up for a win, and you’ll be set for a more relaxing holiday!

Kidney disease is common in older pets but often goes unnoticed until advanced stages. By the time symptoms appear, such as increased drinking and urinating, weight loss and lethargy, significant kidney damage has already occurred 🐾.

Regular blood tests can detect kidney problems early when treatment is most effective. Early intervention can slow progression and maintain quality of life for years longer ❤️.

Annual health checks are your pet's best defence against illness 🐕🐈. During these visits, we examine your pet thoroughly, discuss any concerns, and often detect problems before symptoms are noticed.

Early intervention means better outcomes and lower costs. We can also administer other preventative treatments such as vaccinations, dental checks and parasite prevention during these visits 💉.

📞 Book your pet’s annual check-up with our team today.

Pre-anaesthetic blood tests help ensure your dog's safety during procedures. These tests check organ function, blood clotting, and detect hidden conditions that could complicate anaesthesia 💉.

While healthy young dogs may not always require them, older pets or those with health concerns definitely benefit from pre-GA tests. We'll recommend pre-GA bloods based on your dog's age, health status, and procedure complexity 🐾.

While gut health affects overall wellbeing, probiotics alone rarely solve skin problems in dogs. Skin issues often stem from allergies, parasites, infections, or underlying conditions requiring specific treatment 🐶.

Though probiotics may support general health, they shouldn't replace proper veterinary diagnosis and treatment. If your dog has persistent skin problems, let us identify the root cause first 🩺.

👉 Book a consult so we can help your dog feel comfortable again.

Like humans, cats have different nutritional needs throughout their life stages 🐾.

✔️ Kittens require high-energy, high-protein growth formulas.
✔️ Adult cats need balanced maintenance diets.
✔️ Senior cats often benefit from easily digestible foods.

Some cats may need prescription diets for kidney disease, diabetes, or weight management. Regular vet visits can help ensure your cat's diet matches their life stage 🐱.

📞 Call us to discuss the right diet for your cat.

Despite popular belief, adult cats don't need milk. Most cats are lactose intolerant and dairy can cause stomach upset, diarrhoea, and gastric discomfort 🚫🥛.

Kittens only need their mother's milk or kitten formula. Fresh water is all an adult cat requires for hydration. If you want to treat your cat, consider small amounts of tuna water from tuna canned in springwater 🐱.
