Today, we’re celebrating the importance of enrichment in our pets’ lives. Enrichment isn’t just about toys; it’s about keeping our pets mentally and physically stimulated through scent games, puzzle feeders, safe exploration, training, and social interaction. 😺🐶

Enrichment supports a healthy behaviour, reduces stress, and helps our pets live happier and healthier lives.

Is your pet in their ideal weight? ⚖️

Obesity is quite common in our pets, especially after neutering, but it can increase the chances of your pet suffering from other illnesses, such as arthritis and joint problems, cardiac and respiratory disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.

If you’re struggling with your pet’s weight, get in touch with us! We’re here to help!

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible role radiography plays in keeping our pets healthy. From spotting broken bones to diagnosing internal conditions, X-rays help us see what we otherwise couldn’t. 🩻

A big thank you to our vets and nurses who carry out this essential work behind the scenes; their skill and attention to detail make a huge difference every day.

We all know how important dental care is for our own teeth, but did you know that brushing your dog and cat’s teeth is essential to help keep their teeth healthy? 🐶🐱

Daily dental care can reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar on your pet’s teeth. This helps prevent the development of painful dental disease and reduces the need for veterinary dental treatment.

Brushing your pet’s teeth daily is the most effective way to keep teeth clean and gums healthy and, if introduced gradually with lots of rewards involved, will be accepted by most pets.

Dental chews and dental supplements can also be used but are no substitute for toothbrushing.

Fleas, ticks and worms might be tiny, but they can be big trouble. They can cause itching, irritation and more serious health issues.

Staying on top of flea and worm prevention keeps your pet and your home safe all year round.

At Happy Tails, we provide vet-recommended spot-ons and tablets tailored to your pet’s size and lifestyle.

💡 Fun fact: flea eggs can survive in carpets and bedding for months, so regular prevention really does make all the difference.

When was your pet’s last flea or worm treatment?

If you are not sure, give us a call or message us - our team can help you stay on track.

Did you know that mammary tumours are the 3rd most common neoplasia in cats? 🤔

Here’s how you can help prevent this as a cat owner:

❤️ Neutering your female cat early (before she’s one year old).

❤️ Getting used to checking their chest and belly for any lumps that can be as small as a dried pea.

❤️ Learning that Siamese cats are at greater risk than other cats and being particularly vigilant if you have a Siamese cat.

❤️ Never miss a check-up, especially if you have an older female cat

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any concerns about your cat!
