Say hello to our new Holsworthy receptionist! 😉🥰

Gorgeous Onyx is lead/harness trained, so popped up onto the desk while visiting the practice to ensure all the visiting patients were getting enough treats and TLC from our team ♥️

It was a pleasure to see you lovely boy, and we can't wait to see you again!

⭐ STRAY CAT ⭐

We've had an entire (unneutered) male black cat brought in this morning. Unfortunately, he's not microchipped and was found around Sainsbury's in Bude.

If you think this could be your cat, please call us at the practice directly on 01288 354796.

Thank you 💕

Did you go to the Bude Carnival on Saturday? If so, you may have seen a few familiar faces! 👀

Our float at the Bude Carnival was 'Tamar Vets Go Wild', teaming up with the amazing Born to be wild, doing fur-obics dressed as foxes, cats, dogs, rabbits, and owls, along with guest appearances from Spider Man, A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and the Marhamchurch Wallaby!

It was great fun, but also an important charity fundraiser for several local charities 💕

If you came along, let us know who you think had the best moves! 🕺🦊🐱🐶🐰🦉🕷️🐢

With the mercury on the rise, it’s a good idea to try to keep your pets in during the hottest part of the day. However, if this is tricky (we’re thinking of those intrepid outdoor explorers), or you have smaller pets that have an outdoor enclosure, we must do all we can to prevent our pets from overheating.

A sun shelter can help protect your pet in sunnier weather. For pets with outdoor enclosures, this can be as simple as moving their hutch/run to a shady spot, and moving it as required. For larger pets that spend time outdoors, you can easily create a sun shelter to keep them covered:

☀️ Place a table, stool, or similar, in a shaded area of the garden. Drape a sheet over it, taking care to leave it open at the front and back to allow a through-breeze

☀️ Pop a cooling mat or damp towel on the floor - perfect to lie on, so they can snooze in cool comfort

☀️ To encourage use, place a selection of toys and tasty treats inside - it’ll soon become a positive place for your pet to go!

Just be prepared to move the shelter around the garden as the sun moves - your pet will thank you for it!

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month! Let’s look at what can cause our four-legged friend to become itchy, and the other subtle signs you may see…

What causes itchiness in pets?

Pets can become itchy due to:

> Ectoparasites (e.g. fleas, mites, ticks, lice)
> Allergies (e.g. to pollen, house dust mites, certain foods)
> Physical contact with an irritant
> Infections
> Hormonal imbalances

Besides itching, other signs your pet may have a skin problem include:

> Sore, damaged or reddened skin
> Alopecia (hair loss)
> Scaly, flaky, dry skin
> Biting/chewing at paws

If you spot any of these signs, or you’ve noticed your pet scratching more than usual, contact our team for an appointment. Untreated, skin conditions of any sort can make your pet uncomfortable, and there are plenty of things we can do to help them.

Daily walks are vital for our dogs’ wellbeing - so, what should we do to keep them safe and happy in the summer months?

Always avoid walking your dog during the hottest part of the day - this can help to prevent heatstroke and save sensitive paws from being burnt on hot pavements. There’s no need to miss out on walks, but dawn and dusk are the best times for heading out.

To keep your pet entertained during the day, think about food puzzle toys and any (cool!) indoor activity that can get their brain working and keep them mentally stimulated.

What enrichment activities do you offer your pooch? Share your ideas in the comments to help other pet owners!

4 very happy faces 🥰

Last week, our nurses, Sophie & Georgia, attended Poughill Revel and Cuckoo fair to judge their dog show!

Here is our deserving winner, Mochi, who first won "most appealing bitch" and then the overall "best in show"! All the dogs were fantastic, and it was so lovely to meet them and their owners out in the local community.
