🐰FLYSTRIKE🐰

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions.

Flystrike is potentially fatal condition which occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur. The eggs then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.

Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and living environment, especially during warmer months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or unusual behaviour.

Prevention is key: ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods recommended by your vet.

If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary assistance immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well -being of your furry friend!

Innocent interactions can lead to more serious ones…

Dogs are wonderful companions that provide incredible emotional and social benefits for children. However, even the most beloved family pet can feel overwhelmed. 🐾

Most dog bite incidents involving children happen during seemingly benign interactions, like a hug or a fuss, that the dog finds stressful.

Our mission is to help you "speak dog" so your family stays safe and happy.

Get in touch if you have any questions or concerns regarding your dogs behaviour, we’re always happy to help!

Meet Sarah 🐾

Our go-to Clinic Nurse here at Shearbridge, Sarah plays a key role in supporting both pets and their owners every day.

She loves running our senior and weight clinics, as well as our Puppy Parties — giving her the chance to help you give your pets the very best care. She's even got her own cat in the weight clinics and is seeing amazing progress!

We asked Sarah what inspired her to become a veterinary nurse and what she enjoys most about her role:

“I became a vet nurse because I wanted to help animals and improve their welfare.

The thing I love most about my job is being able to educate pet owners and support the animal-owner bond through the pets life journey. By providing support and information through puppy parties and nurse clinics.”

Thank you for everything you do, Sarah 💙
