It’s not uncommon for us to find jellyfish on the beach. Their long te****le cells cause a stinging sensation, even if they’ve been washed up for a while.

It’s always a good idea to put your dog on a lead immediately if you see any jellyfish. However, if your dog is stung, here’s what to do:

🪼 Pull any remaining te****les off with a stick or towel

🪼 Clean the affected area with sea water rather than fresh water

🪼 Take a photo of the jellyfish your dog came into contact with, if you can

Quality sleep is one of the most important things for your pet’s well-being! 💤🛏️

There are many things that can rob your furry friend of good, restful sleep, like pain, discomfort, loud noises, or even having their beds in a draughty place, so it’s definitely worth looking at how you can upgrade their sleeping conditions.

One of the easiest ways to do this is by investing in a premium quality bed and place it in a quiet, cosy corner of the house, especially if your pet is older or suffers from chronic pain.

Most owners know pets often carry external parasites like ticks and fleas, but did you know they can also transmit infectious diseases? 🤔

Ticks are not to be taken lightly as they can carry serious illnesses like Lyme disease or babesiosis. Both of these are transmitted through tick bites and can affect your pets as well as your family.

These tiny parasites are usually found on pets who go outside, but can even find themselves on those who do not, which is why it’s vital that you keep treatments always up to date!

Struggling to control parasites in your pets? We can help! Give us a call today. 📲

Many prospective pet owners who wish to purchase a pet have probably heard of puppy or kitten mills, but how can you tell whether a breeder might be bad?

Here are a couple of tips:

🐾 Good breeders are registered with reputable organisations, such as The Kennel Club or The Governing Council for the Cat Fancy.

🐾 Responsible breeders are happy to answer any questions you might have and refusing to do so is cause for concern.

🐾 When visiting, make sure you see the puppies and their mom interacting comfortably with each other and that they feel at ease in their homes.

🐾 If you get pressured into making a decision then and there, walk away and find another breeder.

What if we told you that getting your cat to the vets doesn’t have to be dramatic?

😺 Step 1: go get your cat carrier (yes, we mean now)
Making the carrier a part of your cat’s usual environment can help them feel more comfortable with it. Just leave it there in the open, and in no time, you’ll find your cat exploring it. 🔍

😺 Step 2: turn on the appeal
What about putting a blanket inside it? Maybe some toys? A tasty treat? Spraying some relaxing pheromones? The idea here is to find something that your cat likes to lure them into going inside.

😺 Step 3: outright bribery
Once they take the initiative to go inside, make sure to reward them! This can help create a positive association, making it more likely for your cat to want to repeat this behaviour.

This can be a lengthy process, but please don’t rush it. It will all be worth it when you need to bring your cat in! 🐈

Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem and without them, the natural world could change dramatically. 🌍

It is important that we do everything that we can in order to protect them. This can be really easy to achieve, even if you only have a small garden or balcony:

🐝 Plant bee friendly flowers: There are hundreds of bee friendly flowers that will attract not only bees but a number of beneficial pollinators to the garden. Popular flowers include cosmos, alliums and peonies.

🐝Avoid pesticides: Many gardeners use pesticides in their garden as a way of getting rid of pests. Unfortunately, these can be harmful to bees and can even kill them. Consider companion planting to deter pests and use bee friendly pesticides where possible.

🐝 Leave your lawns: Don’t be too quick to mow your lawn - even if you just leave a small patch. This allows wildflowers to grow, such as dandelions, and the longer grass provides protection for bees.

How are you helping the bees in your community?

There’s more to pet ownership than everyday activities and routines!

Though going out for a walk or relaxing on the sofa are great ways to bond with your pets, today we’d like to ask you about something out of the box you’ve done with your pet and that you both loved!

The floor is yours! 👇

Shout out to all the budgie owners out there! 🙌

Budgie’s make fantastic pet birds and are great companion animals. They are playful, chatty and have lively personalities.

Let’s look at five different ways that you can bond with your budgie, especially if they’re a little shy. ⬇️

🐌 Take it slow: Don’t be tempted to reach into the cage and just grab your budgie. Patience is key. Don’t push them out of their comfort zone.

🐦 Get used to each other: You can spend time together even if your budgie is in their cage. Sit next to the cage and get them used to your presence.

🫴 Get them used to your hand: You can try placing some tasty treats on your hand so that they associate handling with treats.

🍎 Offer them their favourite treats: A way to your budgie’s heart is through their beak. Offer them their favourite treats, but always in moderation.

🥎Playful interactions: Play with your budgie as much as possible - they will love it! They also love interacting with different toys, so mix it up and make it interesting.

How do you bond with your budgie?

We would love to see some photos and videos in the comments.

Hot weather can be tough on our furry friends, but a few simple steps can make all the difference:

🐾 Provide constant access to fresh, cool water
🐾 Walk during cooler times – early morning or late evening
🐾 Create shady spots or use cooling mats
🐾 Never leave your pet in a parked car
🐾 Watch for signs of heatstroke – panting, drooling, or lethargy

Keeping your pet safe in the sun means more time for fun! 😎🐶🐱

If you have any other questions about your pet and the summer season, please feel free to get in touch!
