Pets can often be a barrier to leaving an abusive relationship.

Juno Women’s Aid operates a Pet Foster Project in Lincolnshire that plays a crucial role in supporting those fleeing domestic abuse. Recognising that pets are often used by abusers as tools of control—through threats, harm, or coercion—the project provides a lifeline by offering temporary foster care for family pets.

This service ensures that survivors can leave unsafe environments without the fear of leaving their beloved animals behind.

We know the kids are not quite back at school yet but….. September is fast approaching!!

🩺🐾 September is Pain Awareness Month 🐾🩺

Did you know that animals often hide signs of pain? Whether it’s a stiff walk, a change in appetite, or simply “not being themselves,” discomfort in our pets can go unnoticed — but it doesn’t have to.

At Rase Vets we’re raising awareness this month to help pet owners spot the signs early and ensure every animal lives a life as pain-free and comfortable as possible.

🐶 Is your dog slowing down on walks?

🐱 Is your cat hiding more or grooming less?

🐰 Is your rabbit less active or reluctant to eat?

These could be subtle signs of chronic pain — and we’re here to help. From arthritis to dental issues, we offer full pain assessments and tailored treatment options.

💬 If you're worried your pet might be in pain, book a consult with our team today.

Early intervention can make a world of difference. 💙

🐶🐾 Is Your Pet Scratching More Than Usual? 🐾🐱

Allergies in pets are more common than you might think — especially during late summer when pollen, dust mites, and mould levels are high. If your dog or cat is constantly scratching, licking their paws, or has red, irritated skin, they could be suffering from an allergy.

Common signs include:

✅ Itchy skin
✅ Ear infections
✅ Licking or chewing paws
✅ Red, inflamed skin
✅ Hair loss or bald patches

Whether it’s environmental, food-related, or flea allergies, we're here to help get to the root of the issue and make your pet more comfortable.

The sun is shining over Rase Vets today and it is HOT HOT HOT

☀️🐶 Hot Weather = Extra Care for Our Pups! 🐾
With the warm weather continuing, it's a great time to remind everyone about keeping our pets safe and cool.

Here are a few hot weather tips from the team at Rase Vets:

✅ Walk dogs early or late – Avoid the midday heat. Stick to early mornings or cooler evenings for walkies.

✅ Paw check – If the pavement’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!

✅ Plenty of water – Make sure fresh water is always available, especially on the go.

✅ Never leave dogs in cars – Even a few minutes can be life-threatening.

✅ Watch for heatstroke – Signs include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting. If you're ever unsure, call us straight away.

Let’s keep our furry friends safe and comfortable this summer. 🌿🐕

🐾 MICROCHIPPING MATTERS 🐾

Did you know it's a legal requirement in the UK for all dogs over 8 weeks old to be microchipped? And from 10 June 2024, this also applies to cats!

Microchipping is a quick, safe, and permanent way to ensure your pet can be identified and returned to you if they ever go missing. Unlike collars or tags, microchips can’t fall off or get lost.

📌 Why microchip your pet?
✅ Helps reunite lost pets with their families
✅ Provides proof of ownership
✅ Required for travel and some insurance policies
✅ Peace of mind for you and your pet

📍 Make sure your contact details are always up to date on the microchip database — it’s just as important as the chip itself!

Need to check your pet’s chip or get one inserted? Give us a call or pop in — we're here to help! 💙

🐾 Is Your Pet Slowing Down? It Could Be Osteoarthritis 🐾

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition we see in older dogs and cats, but it can affect younger pets too—especially those with previous injuries or certain breeds. While it’s a progressive condition, the good news is that there’s plenty we can do to help keep your pet comfortable and active. 🐕🐈

🔍 Common Signs to Look Out For:

Stiffness, especially after rest
Reluctance to walk, jump or climb stairs
Limping or favouring one leg
Behavioural changes (grumpiness, withdrawal)
Licking or chewing at joints

💡 What Can Be Done?

Osteoarthritis can’t be cured, but it can be managed with a combination of:

Anti-inflammatory medications
Joint supplements
Weight management
Physiotherapy or hydrotherapy
Adjustments at home (like soft bedding or ramps)
Even small changes can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort and quality of life. 🛏️🐾

🏥 If you think your pet may be showing signs of arthritis, give us a call or book a check-up. The sooner we act, the better we can help them stay happy and mobile.

💬 Message us with any concerns

Let’s keep those tails wagging and whiskers twitching! ❤️
