Tooth resorption happens when the tooth structure starts to break down, and unfortunately, they don’t heal on their own. Diagnosis is usually confirmed with a dental exam and dental X-rays, and the most effective treatment is often removing the affected tooth to stop the pain.

If your cat’s eating habits have changed or you’ve noticed mouth sensitivity, book a check-up. Cats are very good at hiding dental pain. 😺

Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is one of the most common causes of ongoing itchiness in dogs, and is usually linked to environmental allergies, such as pollen, dust mites, and moulds. It often starts when dogs are young.

Many dogs with CAD show:
🐾 Constant scratching, rubbing, or licking, especially of the paws
🐾 Red or inflamed skin
🐾 Recurrent ear infections or head shaking
🐾 Chewing the legs, belly, or armpits
🐾 “Hot spots” or skin infections that keep coming back

There’s no single quick test to diagnose it. Diagnosis usually involves a full history, tests to rule out other conditions and, in some cases, allergy testing.

Although CAD is a chronic condition, it can be managed. Treatment can include:
🐶 Flea prevention
🐶 Medicated shampoos/skin barrier support
🐶 Anti-itch and anti-inflammatory medication tailored to your dog
🐶 Treatment of any secondary infections
🐶 Allergy immunotherapy (“allergy shots/drops”) for some dogs

If your dog is licking their paws, scratching daily, or getting repeat ear infections, get in touch with us!

This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the many ways our Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) care for our patients with compassion, skill and dedication.

Every day, our RVNs take on so many important tasks in practice, including:

👉 Running nurse clinics

👉 Caring for hospitalised patients

👉 Preparing patients for surgery

👉 Monitoring anaesthesia during surgery

👉 Supporting diagnostic procedures such as X-rays and ultrasounds

👉 Giving advice and guidance to pet owners

👉 Assisting the veterinary team in countless ways

Behind every patient’s journey, there is often an RVN offering comfort, reassurance and expert care. Their role is essential in practice, and we are incredibly proud of everything they do.

Help us celebrate our amazing RVNs in the comments. 💬

Did you know the adder (Vipera berus berus) is the only venomous snake native to the UK? 🤔

Adders are a protected species and are usually not aggressive, only biting when they feel threatened. They are most commonly found in areas such as dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands and woodland edges, although they can appear elsewhere, too.

Pets are often bitten on the leg, head or neck, so it is important to stay alert when out walking, especially in areas where adders may live.

If you think your pet may have been bitten, even if you did not see the snake, get in touch with us immediately.

Those tiny squishy paw pads do a lot: they help with grip, cushion every jump, and (yes) leave the cutest little prints. Whether they’re pink, black, speckled, or somewhere in between… we’re obsessed.

Do you know the difference between pet insurance and a pet health plan? 🤔

While pet insurance covers illness and accidents, a pet health plan covers preventative care, such as vaccinations, parasite prevention treatments, regular health checks and more.

Pet owners often find it helpful to have both, as they complement each other to cover your pet's planned and unplanned care.
