‼️It’s a common misconception that hot cars are the main danger causing pets to overheat in summer‼️
In reality, over-exertion during walks is the leading cause of heatstroke in dogs, making up an astonishing 74% of cases.

This risk is greater for dogs that are:
✨Brachycephalic (flat faced)
✨Overweight
✨Elderly
✨Have underlying heart or respiratory conditions

…and also young, active dogs whose excitement and activity level can overcome
their ability to keep themselves cool ☀️🐕

Familiarise yourself with the signs of heatstroke - and what to do in an
emergency - here: www.vetcollection.co.uk/health/keeping-pets-safe-in-hot-weather/

📞If you believe your animal is suffering with signs of heatstroke please call us on 01299 402960 📞

🩷Its Rabbit Awareness Week🩷

Rabbits are social creatures and should be kept in pairs or larger groups. Introducing adult rabbits can lead to potentially lethal fighting; don't be tempted to get one rabbit
and add a friend later. Once two or more rabbits are bonded, they should remain together, including for vet trips. It is no longer recommended to keep rabbits and guinea pigs together as it is very difficult to meet both animals’ needs.

Providing the correct nutrition for your rabbit can prevent a lot of common health problems. A rabbit’s diet should be predominantly fibre, as they need to chew almost
continuously – their teeth grow throughout their lives and chewing helps prevent them overgrowing.

Rabbits need their annual vaccinations, just like cats and dogs to protect against
✨Myxomatosis
✨Viral haemorrhagic disease

🐇It is recommended to neuter all rabbits to prevent breeding or fighting. Females have an 80% chance of developing cancer of the uterus during their lifetime. This can be eliminated with neutering 🐇

We get to hang out with dogs all day... and we think you should too! Studies have shown that having dogs in the workplace can help to reduce stress and boost morale.

If you have a dog-friendly workplace, or have a career working with dogs, we’d love to see your canine colleagues this National Take Your Dog To Work Day. Let us rate your office doggos 📷 ⬇

On a warm day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise
dangerously fast 🌡🚗

‘Not long’ is too long. If you can’t take them with you when you leave
the car - leave them safely at home.

✨Heavy panting
✨Excessive salivation
✨Rapid heart rate
✨Bright red gums and tongue
✨Weakness, confusion or collapse

☎If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, first call 999, then seek veterinary advice immediately ☎

With summer holidays approaching, many of us will be out having fun in the sun with our canine companions. Parks, footpaths and beaches are wonderful places to enjoy the outdoors with our dogs - but they’re also shared spaces, and a little consideration goes a long way.

🏖 Plan your adventures ahead. If you're heading to an attraction or beauty spot, check first whether dogs are welcome. On warmer days, take trips early or late in the day and factor in breaks to seek shade and water.

🐕 Not every dog (or human) is comfortable being approached or wants to say hi. Keep your pooch under close control or on a lead, ask before letting them approach, and give others space where needed.

💩 Pick up their p**p and bin the bag. No exceptions!

Thank you for helping to make summer adventures pleasant for everyone
