Happy Friday everyone! 🥰

As we head into the weekend, we wanted to share a little joy from one of our own…meet Jesper, the beloved cat of one of our vet nurses, Emily 😺

Jesper’s idea of the purrfect weekend? A big stretch, a satisfied sigh, and a long sunbathe… all in his favourite pile of dirt 🐈

Whilst we might not share in his love for dusty lounging spots, we absolutely admire his commitment to relaxation. If anyone’s got their weekend priorities straight, it’s this guy 😎

Wishing you and your pets a happy, healthy, and restful weekend! ☀️

Happy Friday from Sydney! 🥰

Sydney was in for his 6 Month Health check today with nurse Emily, and he was an absolute champ! 😊

He handled his check-up like a pro, made the most of the treats on offer, and even struck a pose for the camera 📸

What a photogenic boy he is! 😻

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Grass seeds 🌱❗

🔸 Grass seeds are small, pointy seeds attached to long grass stems and they can cause problems to dogs if they end up in their fur during walks 🐾

🔸 Unfortunately grass seeds have very sharp ends, so they can burrow down and pierce the skin.

Here are some very useful tips on how to deal with grass seeds from Blue Cross👇

We hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather! ☀️🥳

Here’s a reminder of our tips for keeping your pets safe 🐾

🔸Signs of heatstroke: 🥵

- Excessive panting
- Dribbling
- Increased heart rate
- Red gums and tongue
- Vomiting and diarrhoea
- Lethargy
- Confusion
- Collapse
- Seizures

If you suspect that your pet might have heatstroke, move them to a cool area (as long as it is safe to do so) and contact your vet immediately.

🔸Which animals are more susceptible to heatstroke? 🐾

- Animals that are overweight

- Flat faced breeds such as Pugs and French Bulldogs, or Persian cats

- Pets with thick coats

- Old or very young animals

- Animals with pre-existing conditions, particularly airway, lung or heart problems

🔸Key tips to help prevent your pet getting heatstroke:

🐾 Make sure your pet has access to clean water at all times, and carry water with you when walking your dog

🐾 Animals can get sunburnt, particularly pale-coloured ones with areas with sparse fur. Ideally keep them inside or in the shade, but if they are in the sun use a suncream suitable for pets

🐶 Dogs’ paw pads can burn on hot pavements. If it’s too hot for your hand it’s too hot for their paws

🐶 During heatwaves, restrict walks to early morning only. On very hot days the temperature is still too hot for dogs in the evening

🐶 Remember it is OK not to walk your dog at all during very hot weather – it's far better to be safe than take unnecessary risks

🐱 Encouraging cats to drink water may require you placing a bowl in a few places around the house or in the garden

🐱 Be careful your cat doesn’t get shut into hot rooms or sheds with no ventilation

🐱 Make some ice lollies for your cat with some of their favourite treats (e.g. tuna brine)
