HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT YOUR AGE IS IN DOG OR CAT YEARS?

We'd all be a lot younger, that is for sure!

Senior pets are usually classified in terms of seniority according to their size, but on average, most dogs are classified as 'senior' aged 7 with cats making it to 9 years of age before they are.

These are the ages we should start to be looking out for signs of disease caused by ageing, be it dental disease, osteoarthritis or difficulties with the digestive system.

As our pets grow older, their digestive system slows down and becomes more sensitive, which leads to a reduced ability to break down protein. This can lead to nutrient loss, tummy upsets and weight loss, so it may be worth considering a senior diet.

During October and November we are running FREE Senior Wellness clinics with our highly experienced RVNs. They will give your senior a pet a nose to tail check and give you advice on any areas that are relevant to your pet.

If you would like to book a FREE Senior Wellness check, give us a call or go to our website to book online.

These checks will include a free urine test, and a half price senior wellness blood test where applicable.

📌INTRODUCING VET CLAIRE! 📌

Some of you may have already met her, but for those who have not, we wanted to introduce you to our lovely new vet Claire.

Claire has been working as a vet since 2008 initially starting her career as a large animal vet. She has been working as a small animal vet for the majority of her career and has a special interest and qualification in veterinary forensics and law. When Claire isn't at home being a mum to her five year old daughter, she also likes to keep fit and look after her garden.

Claire is initially here covering vet Kathryn while she is on maternity leave. We are sure you will all be thrilled to know that Kathryn had a lovely little girl in August, and she popped in to see us recently! Next time we'll try and get a baby photo!

We hope that you'll join us in making Claire feel very welcome at Alfold Vets.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING

And whilst we as individuals can choose to celebrate it or not, it's not the same for our pets.

Here are our top tips for making sure you and your pets have a safe and happy halloween.

28/10/2026

Say hello to Obi (brackets) Spud Kinobe! The brackets are important, and we need to give her her full billing!

😍Isn't she a cutey! 😍

Obi is a cross between a beagle and a King Charles cavalier, so he is going to be a beautiful girl!

Obi was in for her puppy vaccinations this week and was good as gold. We can't to see more of her.

🎃🎃 GRAB A HALF TERM HALLOWEEN TREAT 🎃🎃

To celebrate Halloween, and half term, we've got some special treats in for our very special clients!

And we think it is a good idea for you to pop in and see us even if there is no reason to do so.

That way your pets don't always expect something unpleasant to happen when they come in, and they are happy to see us when they do.

That makes it less stressful for them, and for you.

So we really hope you'll pop in and see us, have a treat, pop your dog on the scales next time you are passing.

We've got some Halloween puzzle sheets to entertain your kids too!

We hope to see you very soon.

🐾Say hello to the gorgeous Harper! 🐾

This beautiful little smooth-haired miniature dachshund came in to see us for her puppy vaccinations, and she captured quite a few hearts while she was here, not least our lovely RVN, Robyn, who has a little dachsie at home.

Allegedly her favourite thing to do is to bite her dad's toes.

We look forward to seeing Harper very soon very her second vaccinations.

Say hello to the gorgeous Florence!

Apart from having the most 'boopable' nose we have seen all week, we were delighted to add Florence to our 'seniors' board.

She really is a very beautiful and glamourous senior lady who came in to have a small lump removed.

Unfortunately we were unable to remove it this week as it was a little bit infected. But she has been popped on a course of antibiotics so that she is in good shape to have it removed very soon.

We were delighted to have her in with us this week though. We have been using that beautiful face to make us smile when we need to smile!

And if you've got a senior you'd like to see on our board, pop in. We'll snap a photo and get you on there!

Hurrah! We have a senior cat to go on our special seniors board in Reception!

This is the lovely Clyde. Clyde is 18 and a half years of age, but he really does not look it! He is suffering the effects of some arthritis though, and comes in for a regular injection to help him with that.

If you have a senior cat, it is a good idea to watch out for signs of mobility issues.
Signs will often be subtle with cats as they will rarely yelp or cry. Things to look out for include difficulty when going up and down stairs, being slow to rise or hesitating to jump.

Cats don't have to suffer the pain of arthritis - no matter their age.

If you have any worries at all that your cat may be beginning to suffer from signs of aging, do give us a call to book in with one of our experienced RVN's for a Senior Health Check. Throughout October and November this is an entirely free service.

Give us a call or go to our website to book a nurse appointment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A WELLNESS BLOOD TEST FOR A SENIOR PET?

By routinely screening our pets' blood, ideally every 6-12 months, we can get a very valuable insight into their potential for disease before it effects their welfare.

A blood test can help the vet to distinguish age-related changes with those that we should be concerned about, and can help us detect them early, before symptoms appear rather than at advanced stages of the disease.

As part of our Senior Wellness Campaign this autumn, we are offering HALF PRICE Wellness Blood Tests for our *senior patients.

Please note that if you on our Pet Health Plan, these tests are completely FREE to ALL patients.

If you are interested in finding out more about what's going on with your pet's health, please do give us a call.

Say hello to Muffin and Crumpet!

Aren’t they just the cutest little things! And what fantastic names. The owner tells us that they were a surprise significant birthday present she could not have been more delighted.

They came in for their kitten check and to start their course of vaccinations and all was well.

Little Muffin though is quite a special boy as he is ‘polydactyl’ which means he has extra toes. That just means we need to keep an eye on his nails and ensure they are regularly clipped!

We can’t wait to see them back for their second vaccination in a couple of weeks.
