🐾 Give Your Pet the Gift of Health with a Wellness Screening! 🐾

As our pets age, it’s essential to stay ahead of any potential health issues, even if they’re looking and feeling great! If you have a healthy cat over 7 years or a dog over 5 years old, our Wellness Screening can help catch early signs of health concerns before they become serious.

What’s included in the screening?
✔️ Urine Test
✔️ Blood Pressure Check
✔️ Blood Sample Analysis
✔️ Comprehensive Nose-to-Tail Health Check by one of our nurses

Cost: Just £85 for your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being!

🔹 Just make sure your pet has seen a vet within the last 12 months.

Early detection is key, and with our wellness screening, we can give your furry friend the best chance at a long, healthy life.

📞 Call us on 01942 876873 to book your appointment and let’s make sure your pet stays happy and healthy for years to come! 🐾💙

We’re expecting some hot weather this week. If it feels warm to you, it’s even hotter for your dog.

Skipping a walk is always the safer choice when it’s too hot. No dog has ever been harmed by missing one, but heatstroke can be deadly.

Find out how to spot the signs and keep your dog safe with our vet-approved guide: https://www.pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advice/heat-stroke-in-dogs

⚠️ Tick season is here – time to check your dog. Ticks love to hide in warm, hard-to-spot places. After every walk, give your dog a once-over, and pay extra attention to their ears, armpits, and between their toes.

Or keep pests at bay without the hassle with Pet Health Club. Our members enjoy year-round flea, worm, and tick treatment, so join today.

⚠️ Contagious cough (also known as Kennel cough) is widespread, distressing and highly contagious ⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated dogs, caught from anywhere other dogs explore; the park, daycare, training classes, shared water bowls outside shops...

Yearly vaccination throughout life is the best way to protect your dog and reduce the spread. Check with your vet today if your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

Don’t delay! Book your dog in for their vaccination by visiting our website.

Chocolate, cooked bones, hot cross buns, and sugar-free sweets might be Easter favourites, but they can be toxic to dogs.

Keep your dog safe – and avoid an emergency trip to the vet – by keeping these foods well out of reach this Easter.

🌸 Fundraiser Update 🌸

We would like to thank everyone for all the support we have received so far 🩷

'One of our nurses, Emma, lost their little dog, Mavis, in November last year after a short battle with cancer. She was only 6 years old.
In memory of Mavis, three members of our team are running the Manchester Half Marathon in October this year.. Emma, Hannah & Carl.
They are raising money for the Blue Cross, a charity that helps pet owners navigate their grief and offer support when it is needed the most. Their aim is to raise as much money as possible before October!'

We have hit the original £600 target, however, there is still time to donate!

Any donations would be greatly appreciated, if anybody would like to donate you can do so in practice or by following this link…

Thank you 🐾 🤍

🐾🍫 DANGER: Chocolate and Dogs Don't Mix! 🍫🐾

As much as we love to indulge in chocolate treats, it's important to remember that chocolate is toxic to dogs! Even small amounts can cause serious health problems.

🍫 What’s the risk? Chocolate contains theobromine, a substance that dogs metabolize much more slowly than humans. This can lead to symptoms like:

- Vomiting

- Diarrhoea

- Increased heart rate

- Tremors or seizures

In severe cases, it can even be fatal.

❗ Keep these treats out of reach and make sure to remind family and friends not to share chocolate with your furry pals.

If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, contact us immediately on 01942 876873.

Let's keep our pups safe and stick to dog-friendly treats this Easter! 🐕💕
