They did it! 52.8 miles and a whole lot of up and down, in two days. Our vet Sarah and Nurse Cate hiked the Coleridge Way, raising funds for Parkinson's UK. Well done girls 👏👏💪

🐱 **Why are cat vaccinations so important?** 🐱

Cats may be independent, but they still need protection from some serious diseases. Our feline vaccination protocol helps protect against:

✔️ Feline Panleukopenia (cat flu-like enteritis)
✔️ Feline Herpesvirus
✔️ Feline Calicivirus
✔️ Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV)

Many of these diseases can be life-threatening, highly contagious, and expensive to treat. Vaccination remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your cat healthy throughout their life.

💚 Did you know our **Pet Health Care Plan** covers your cat's annual vaccinations?

As well as spreading the cost of your pet's preventative healthcare across 12 affordable monthly payments, members also benefit from:

🐾 Annual vaccinations
🐾 Primary kitten vaccination courses
🐾 Restart vaccination courses if your cat's vaccinations have lapsed
🐾 Regular flea treatment
🐾 Regular worming treatment
🐾 Nurse 6 month health checks
🐾 1 vet consultation
🐾 Wellness blood testing
🐾 Plus many other great benefits!

Not only does the plan help ensure your cat never misses important preventative care, but it also offers a substantial saving compared to paying for treatments individually.

temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions. Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which 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!
