🌍🐾 Eco-Friendly Pet Toys Are Coming to Palmerston Vets! 🐾🌍

We’re excited to announce that we will soon be stocking a range of eco-friendly toys for dogs 🐶 and cats 🐱 at both our Buckhurst Hill and Walthamstow branches!

As part of our commitment to supporting the environment and encouraging more sustainable pet care, we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and promote eco-conscious choices for our lovely clients and their pets 💚

Our eco-friendly toys are designed with the planet in mind and are a great alternative to plastic-heavy products. By making small swaps like this, together we can help create a cleaner, greener future for our pets and our community 🌱

👀 Keep a look out next time you visit either practice!

But sustainability doesn’t stop there… did you know you can also upcycle old household items into fun enrichment toys for your pets? ♻️✨

Here are some simple ideas to try at home:

🐕 DOGS
• Turn old T-shirts into braided tug toys
• Use empty cardboard boxes for treat treasure hunts
• Make a snuffle mat using old towels or fabric scraps

🐈 CATS
• Create a toy from old toilet roll tubes
• Use cardboard boxes as hide-and-seek dens
• Turn old socks into catnip toys

🐹 SMALL FURRIES
• Use cardboard egg cartons for enrichment games
• Make tunnels from kitchen roll tubes
• Create forage toys using safe paper and hay

Upcycling is not only environmentally friendly, but it’s also a fantastic way to provide mental stimulation and enrichment for your pets without spending lots of money 🐾💚

We’re trying to do our part to support the environment and we hope you’ll join us too 🌎✨

🌍🐾 World Environment Day 2026: Small Changes, Big Paw-sitive Impact! 🐾🌍

What if you and your furry best friend could help protect the planet together?

This World Environment Day, we're celebrating the simple, eco-friendly actions that dog owners can take to make a real difference. Every small step counts, and our dogs can be part of the journey too!

💚 Here are a few ideas to get started:

🌱 Plant a dog-safe tree or shrub
🦴 Choose biodegradable p**p bags
🚮 Turn your daily dog walk into a litter-picking mission
♻️ Create DIY toys from old T-shirts, towels or jeans
🚶 Walk instead of driving when you can
🎾 Donate unwanted dog gear to local rescue charities
🧴 Switch to natural, eco-friendly grooming products
🌿 Compost shed dog hair and organic waste

Not only are these changes kinder to the environment, but they can also benefit your dog's health, wellbeing, and enrichment too.

📸 We'd love to see how you and your dog are going green! Share your eco-friendly adventures and inspire others to get involved. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener future—one paw print at a time.

Dogs have a truly magical way of bringing people together. Let's use that power to help our planet. 💚🐶

🌍🐾 Leading Up to World Environment Day 2026… FREE Biodegradable Poo Bags Giveaway! Friday 5th June🐾🌍

As we count down to World Environment Day 2026, we’re encouraging our amazing pet owners to make small eco-friendly changes that can have a BIG impact on the planet 💚

Why switch to biodegradable bags?
✅ They break down much faster than standard plastic bags
✅ They help reduce harmful plastic waste and microplastics

Every walk with your dog is an opportunity to help protect the environment while enjoying fresh air, exercise, and time together 🌎✨

Together, we can make our community cleaner, greener, and more sustainable — one dog walk at a time 🐕💚

💊 Medication Monday – Thyroid Medications 💊

This week, we’re talking all things thyroid medication for our furry friends 🐶🐱

The thyroid gland plays an important role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, weight, heart function, and overall wellbeing. When the thyroid isn’t working properly, medication can make a huge difference in helping pets feel more like themselves again 🩺💙

🐱 For Cats – Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)
Hyperthyroidism is very common in older cats and can cause signs such as weight loss despite a good appetite, increased thirst, hyperactivity, vomiting, and changes in behaviour.

Medications we commonly use include:

💊 Felimazole / Methimazole / Thiamacare
These medications work to reduce the amount of thyroid hormone being produced, helping to control symptoms and improve quality of life. Regular blood tests are important to monitor thyroid levels and make sure the dose is just right for your cat.

💧 Thyronorm
A liquid thyroid medication often used for cats with hyperthyroidism. This can be especially helpful for cats who are tricky to tablet and allows for very accurate dosing.

🐶 For Dogs – Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism)
Dogs are more commonly affected by hypothyroidism, where the thyroid becomes underactive. Signs can include weight gain, lethargy, hair loss, skin problems, and reduced energy.

💊 Thyforon
Thyforon replaces the missing thyroid hormone, helping dogs regain their energy, improve coat quality, and feel brighter again. Regular monitoring blood tests are important to ensure the medication is working effectively.

💡 Did you know?
Thyroid medications are often lifelong treatments, and consistency is key! Giving medication as prescribed and attending regular blood test checks helps us keep your pet feeling their best 🐾💙

If you ever have questions about your pet’s medication, our team are always happy to help!

🐾 At our practice, everyone is welcome – including our little visitors! 🐾

We know bringing children along to the vets isn’t always ideal or easy for parents, and sometimes it can even put people off coming in. That’s why we want to make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible for the whole family. 💙

In our reception area, we have a kids’ table to help keep little ones entertained while you’re with us. We’re here to accommodate everyone and make your experience a little easier.

🎨 Ask reception for a colouring sheet!

And the fun doesn’t stop there… we’d love to showcase your child’s amazing artwork on our wall! 🌟

Didn’t quite finish your masterpiece while you were with us? No problem at all — take it home, jazz it up, and bring it back another day. We’d still love to display your beautiful artwork! 🖍️✨

Or… if your little one would like to draw a picture of their pet at home and bring it in to share, we’d absolutely love to see it and add it to our display wall too! 🐶🐱

We can’t wait to see all of your wonderful creations! 💕

🐾 Meet Scout 🐾

Many of you will already know our very special practice mascot, Scout — Nurse Jess’s lovely dog, who brightens our days by coming into the practice with her every day and bringing smiles to staff and patients alike. ❤️

Today, Scout had a few lumps removed. A couple have been sent away for testing, so we are now waiting to learn more. We know many of you have a soft spot for him, so we wanted to keep our practice family updated.

Scout is now resting and recovering, and we’ll be sure to keep you all informed as soon as we know more. In the meantime, we’re sending him lots of love and wishing him a smooth recovery. 🐶💙

Get well soon, Scout — we’re all rooting for you!

It’s heating up out there! 🌞 With the hot weather coming in, it’s important that you recognize the signs of in your pets. Ensure your pets have access to shade and water at all times, and do what you can to keep them out of the heat!

💊 Medication Monday! 💊

This week’s Medication Monday is all about Synulox – available in both tablet and liquid form for dogs and cats 🐶🐱

Synulox is a commonly prescribed antibiotic used to help treat a variety of bacterial infections, including skin infections, wounds, dental infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections. Having both tablet and liquid options means we can choose the best way to medicate each individual pet – especially for our fussier patients!

💡 Why is it important to finish the full course?
Even if your pet starts to feel better, it’s really important to continue antibiotics exactly as prescribed. Stopping treatment too early can mean some bacteria survive, allowing the infection to return.

It also plays an important role in helping to reduce antibiotic resistance 🦠 Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria adapt and become harder to treat with medications that previously worked. By using antibiotics correctly and only when needed, we can help keep them effective for both our pets and people in the future 💙

If you ever struggle giving tablets or liquid medications, please ask us for advice – we’re always happy to help! 🐾

🐾 Charlie’s Check-Up 🐾

Lovely Charlie the crossbreed came in to see us last week to have some chest X-rays to help investigate a cough he had been experiencing 💙

Chest X-rays can be a really useful tool when looking into coughing, as they help us get a clearer picture of the lungs, airways, and heart, allowing us to investigate potential causes and choose the best treatment plan

Charlie was an absolute superstar during his visit and behaved so well ⭐ He’s now started on some medication, which will hopefully help him feel much more like himself again 🐶✨

We’re all wishing you a speedy recovery, Charlie! 💕
