Some breeds, like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, can have higher anaesthetic risks, particularly if they have a heart murmur or clinical heart disease.

Regardless of their breed, we always tailor anaesthesia plans and monitoring for every pet’s safety. We will discuss your pet’s needs with you before any procedure. 👨‍⚕️😺👩‍⚕️

While it is generally not recommended to combine a ‘clean’ surgery, such as a lump removal, with a ‘dirty’ surgery, such as a dental, every situation varies.

Dentals can spread bacteria in the air and increase bacteria circulating in the blood, which is generally not conducive to a sterile surgery.

Ultimately, combining procedures depends on your pet and your vet’s advice. Have a chat with us to find out what’s best for your pet. 🩺 🐈

Daily brushing is the gold standard for your dog’s dental health. This is because conditions like plaque take less than 24 hours to begin forming. Brushing your dog’s teeth helps prevent this from progressing. 🪥🐶

When you start brushing your dog’s teeth at home, use pet-safe toothpaste and a soft human or dog toothbrush. Start slow, reward calm behaviour, and make it a positive routine.

Did you know that more than half of all cats have noticeable dental disease by the time they are 3 years old? 🦷 🐈‍⬛

Most cats benefit from a professional dental clean every 12 months, especially adults over the age of 3 years old.

Regular cleans help prevent serious dental disease and keep your cat’s mouth healthy and pain free. Don’t hesitate to ask us what schedule is best for your feline friend!

A pink or red tooth in cats may indicate Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL). This painful condition causes the tooth to break down, and results in difficulty eating, pain and distress.

Cat’s teeth should normally be white, whole and not chipped or broken, and the gums not raised or inflamed. 😸

If you notice one of your cat’s teeth is no longer white, book a dental check for your cat right away.

Cats can face dental emergencies at any stage in their life, such as broken teeth, abscesses, or severe gum inflammation due to a viral infection. Look for drooling, pawing at the mouth, lethargy or refusing food. 🐱🦷

Prompt vet care can prevent more pain or complications, so it’s important to contact us straight away if you notice these signs.

Does your dog’s breath smell bad? 😮 🐕 Bad breath isn’t normal and can signal dental disease.

Dental disease might come in the form of plaque, tartar, gingivitis or even an infected tooth. Persistent odour isn’t normal, and should be investigated.

Book a dental check with us today to keep your dog’s mouth healthy and free of pain.

If you have a dog with recurrent skin or ear problems, there’s a chance that their issues may temporarily improve over the winter months only to pop back up again in spring. 🐶

This is because atopy (environmental allergies) is a very common cause of recurrent skin and ear disease in dogs. If your dog has atopy that is triggered by a spring-summer-autumn pollen type, you may notice a temporary improvement in their symptoms when the weather cools down.

For personalised advice on the effective management of skin or ear allergy symptoms in your pet, consult our knowledgeable team. 🌿

Just like us, our canine companions can be at risk of gaining a few unhealthy kilograms during the winter months. 🍗🍔🥤

Whilst wanting to stay warm indoors and eat snacks is a totally understandable urge, an expanding waistline is not good for your pet’s general health. Unfortunately, being overweight can put dogs at a higher risk of joint injuries, breathing issues, urinary problems and certain types of cancer, among other issues.

For help assessing your pet’s body condition or some professional tips for keeping them at their healthiest weight, consult our health-conscious veterinary team. 🐕

Did you know that pets can develop an odd condition called pica? 🤔

Pica is the compulsive eating of non-food items. This can occur due to nutritional deficiencies, underlying medical conditions, or behavioural issues such as anxiety or boredom. Additionally, some pets appear to do it just as a strange habit (we’re looking at you, Burmese cats!)

In cats, common pica items include wool (e.g. blankets or yarn), elastic bands, and plastic, all of which can potentially cause dangerous gastrointestinal obstructions. ⚠️

If you ever suspect that your cat is nibbling on silly things, it’s a good idea to consult our feline-friendly team promptly for further advice.

In cold weather, even cats who normally spend their days outdoors may prefer to stay bunkered down indoors! 🐾

For this reason, it’s especially important to ensure that you’re offering indoor toileting facilities that are amenable to your cat (or else they may find their own!).

In general, it’s recommended to have one litter tray per cat in the household, plus one extra. Ensure trays are scooped daily to remove solids and that they are completely cleaned out at least once a week (or more frequently if non-clumping litter is being used).

For more information on feline urinary health, consult our wee-wise team! 😺
