Fallen fruit might seem innocent... but it can be risky! 🍂🐾

Fermenting fruit produces alcohol, which can be dangerous to pets if eaten. Even small amounts can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea, wobbliness, or worse.

🍏 Watch out for fallen fruit in your garden or on countryside walks. If your pet has a habit of scavenging, it’s best to keep them on a lead in high-risk areas.

If you think your pet might’ve eaten rotten fruit, please give us a call.

Watch Out for These Common Autumn Hazards! 🍂🐾

There’s lots to sniff and explore during autumn walks but not everything is pet-safe. Here are three things to be cautious of:

🌰 Acorns – Contain tannins that can cause stomach upset, vomiting, and in some cases be toxic in large amounts. They’re also a choking risk

🍄 Wild mushrooms – Some types are harmless, but others are extremely toxic to pets and can cause everything from drooling and diarrhoea to seizures or organ failure. Always err on the side of caution

🌼 Chrysanthemums – These bright autumn flowers can cause drooling, vomiting, and skin irritation if chewed or eaten.

If you’re ever unsure what your pet has eaten, or they seem unwell after a walk, don’t wait — give us a call on 01444 363636 🐾

Pets offer so much more than just companionship…

Pets are great sources of comfort and motivation, helping us lead mentally healthier lives by:

🧠 Getting you out the house for daily walks or play time, making physical activity more fun!
🧠 Giving you a sense of security and make us feel wanted and needed.
🧠 Offering unconditional love and helping you feel less isolated.
🧠 Caring for your pet helps to provide a daily routine.
🧠 Helps you meet new people; whether that’s during walks or via pet related groups/classes.

Let's celebrate the amazing power of pets in supporting our mental health today and every day! ❤️

Conkers are a classic part of autumn, but they pose a serious risk to our pets - especially curious dogs who love to pick things up with their mouths.

👉 Conkers can cause tummy upsets, blockages, and even contain toxic compounds that can be harmful if ingested. They're also a choking hazard, particularly for smaller dogs.

So, while they’re fun for kids to collect, it’s best to steer your dog away from conkers during walks.

⚠️ If your pet has eaten one, or you’re unsure, give us a call right away for advice on 01444 363636 ⚠️

Did you know our Vets can perform Laparoscopic Spay Procedures?

An alternative to a traditional spay, a laprascopic procedure utilizes small keyhole ports to access the dog's abdomen. The procedure is minimally invasive, reduces wound healing time and has a much faster recovery! 🐶

Your dog will be admitted as a day patient, they will undergo a full general anaesthetic, have their operation, and be recovered by one of the nurses before returning home that evening. 🩺

Our prices range from around £580 - £700 dependent of your dogs bodyweight. Call us today for more information regarding Laprascopic Neutering on 01444 363636.

🐾🍂 It’s National Walk Your Dog Week… the perfect excuse to get outside and enjoy autumn strolls with your four-legged friend!

To keep every walk safe and happy this season, here are a few top tips:

🧥 Stay Warm: Ensure your pet is comfortable and warm - use appropriate clothing if they have short fur!
⚠️ Watch Out for Hazards: Be mindful of fallen leaves, which can hide potential dangers like sharp objects or holes
🦌 Stay on Leash: With wildlife more active, keep your pet on a leash to prevent unexpected chases
💧 Hydrate: Bring water for your pet, as they can still get thirsty even in cooler weather
✔️ Check for Ticks: Ticks may still be active in October so keep up your tick checks after each walk

Enjoy the beautiful season safely with your pet! 🐾🍂
