🌟Tuesdays Tips🌟

Tips for a stress free visit to the vets 🤞🏾

🌟Get your pet comfortable with handling early on. Examine your pet on a daily basis.

🌟Don’t associate your pets carrier/crate with a visit to the vets.

🌟Keep calm.

🌟Visit the vet before an appointment. Pop them in to meet the receptionist/nurse for a treat or bring your pets along when you collect medication so they don’t always associate the vets for vaccinations etc.

🌟Prepare- make sure you have everything you need with you and arrive on time. If you are stressed this could rub off on your pet.

🌟 Familiarise your pet with car journeys.

🌟Choose a quiet time of day if possible.

🌟Pack your pets favourite toy.

🌟Wait outside or in the car if your pet is worried by other pets.

🌟Reward good behaviour during your visit.

🌟Provide their usual blanket,bed or other items that smell like home. 🐶🐰😺

🌟Tuesday Tips 🌟

Our pets are often sun worshippers and will lie out for hours in the summer however, pink skinned animals can be prone to skin cancers, which can be extremely aggressive and may be untreatable.
🐈Watch out for pink noses and also pink ear tips and consider using a sunscreen if your animal is going to be out all day.
🐩It's often best to apply this shortly before a distraction such as feeding or exercise so it's not immediately groomed off.
🐈If you notice any scabby lesions which do not heal within a few days then come and see us.
As with so many other things, the earlier these conditions are caught, the better we can treat them.
There are quite a few sun screens on the market especially for pets.
