If fireworks are going off nearby this Bonfire Night, there are a few simple things you can do to help your pet feel safer.

Keep them indoors and stay with them where possible. Close curtains and windows to reduce flashes and noise, and put on the television, radio or some calm background music.

Make sure they have access to a familiar hiding place and never force them to come out. Keep doors and windows secure and avoid taking dogs outside while fireworks are going off.

Most importantly, stay calm and let your pet choose whether they want reassurance, company, or to hide away. 🐾

It’s Halloween, the season where there are plenty of sweets and chocolate around the house, but some of our favourite treats can be dangerous for our pets.

Keep these safely out of reach:

🍫 Chocolate

🍬 Sweets containing xylitol

🍇 Grapes and raisins

🗑️ Sweet wrappers and packaging, which can cause problems if swallowed

Keep Halloween treats for humans and give your pet something safe and suitable instead.

Crunchy leaves, interesting smells make autumn walks full of exciting discoveries for dogs!

Unfortunately, conkers are one discovery we’d rather they left on the ground.

As well as containing a toxin (aesculin), conkers are large and hard enough to cause a gastrointestinal blockage if swallowed.

If your dog loves carrying things on walks, try swapping conkers for something safer:

🥎 Bring their favourite ball or toy

🦴 Reward them for leaving things on the ground

🐕 Keep them closer to you in areas with lots of horse chestnut trees

👀 Pay extra attention when conkers are scattered along the path

A little prevention can help keep your autumn adventures fun rather than ending with an unexpected trip to the vet.

Today, we’re sharing some information to help you learn more about stress in cats. 🐈

It is also important to remember that some of these signs can be linked to pain or illness.

If your cat’s behaviour has changed, please speak to our team so we can help rule out medical causes and support your cat’s wellbeing.

Whether you own a cat, dog or a ferret, vaccinations are an important part of keeping them happy, healthy and safe from potentially dangerous diseases. 💉

Ferrets can be prone to contracting a contagious and fatal disease called canine distemper. Vaccinations help to provide protection, especially for ferrets that share a home with, or might come into contact with, unvaccinated dogs.

The disease affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous system of the ferret and unfortunately has a very high mortality rate.

Ferrets that spend the majority of the time indoors are also at risk of potential diseases.

The good news is that vaccinations help to protect our furry friends and prevention is always better than cure.

If you’re unsure of whether your ferret needs a vaccination, speak to our team today who will be able to give you advice.

Pets can get bored too. 😺🐶

Boredom can show up as chewing, scratching, barking, over-grooming, attention-seeking, or sleeping more than usual.

The good news is enrichment does not have to be complicated. Snuffle mats, puzzle feeders, scent games, cardboard boxes, training practice, or short play sessions can all help.

Remember that mental stimulation is an important part of wellbeing, just like food, exercise, and rest.

You pop out for five minutes, and when you come back, you are greeted like you have returned from a long expedition.

Does your dog give you the dramatic welcome-home greeting too? 🐶

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them, but having a few essentials ready can make a stressful moment feel a little more manageable.

Keep these somewhere easy to find:

✅ Our contact details

✅ Your pet’s microchip number

✅ Details about any medication your pet takes

✅ Insurance information

✅ A secure carrier or lead

✅ A recent photo of your pet

✅ Basic first aid supplies

A little preparation can make a big difference when every minute matters.

We often talk about giving pets a second chance, a safe home, and a family to love them. But sometimes, it feels like they give just as much back to us.

Did your pet rescue you, too? 🥰

Chocolate poisoning is one of those situations where acting quickly really matters.

If your pet has helped themselves to chocolate, try to find out:

🍫 What type of chocolate it was (white, milk or dark chocolate)

⚖️ Roughly how much was eaten

⏰ When it happened

Then call us for advice as soon as possible. The sooner we know what happened, the sooner we can assess the risk and advise on the safest next steps.

Please don’t try to make your pet vomit unless a veterinary professional specifically tells you to do so.
