Answers
⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

1)FICTION
A healthy dogs nose is typically wet but a dry nose is not a concern.
2) FICTION
Purring is a self soothing mechanisms. Cats also purr to communicate stress, hunger or pain.
3) FACT
Dalmations are born all white & develop their spots as they grow.
4) FICTION
Punishing a dog only leads to them being fearful of their owner. Dogs should be treated with kindness & respect and trained using reward based techniques.
5) FICTION
Rabbits should only be fed carrots as occasional treats. Their diet should mostly consist of hay and/or grass, leafy greens & a small amount of rabbit pellets.
6) FACT
Most pets will use one paw more dominately than the other, much the same as us humans do with our hands.
7) FICTION
Rats are actually very clean, enjoy human company & make very good pets.
8)FICTION
Dogs can see some colours such as blue & yellow. However, they see red and green as shades of grey.

Chaos the rat came into us to have a chemical castration. This involves placing an implant between the shoulders which slowly releases a hormone over 6-12 months.

He was a such sweetie & recovered very well 😍🐾

Meet Isla 💓🐾

This sweet girl went on a walk and ended up with a nasty grass seed stuck inside of her nose 👃😢 Luckily after spending the day with us, we were able to remove the seed under sedation. Isla was such a good girl!

During the summer we see huge amounts of patients admitted into the vets with grass seeds lodged in the body.

Due to their pointy shape, they can pierce the skin and work there way under the skin causing pain, irritation and infection. They rarely make their way back out without some assistance and they can travel a long distance once inside the body. The most common areas we see them in are the eyes, ears, armpits and paws.

However, over the past few weeks we have been seeing more in the nose!

We urge you to check your pets over after a walk and if possible avoid long grassy areas completely this summer. Keeping long haired dogs trimmed and fur short around the face, ears & paws can significantly help to reduce the seeds getting caught. If your pet is sneezing, licking a specific area or shaking their head after a walk then please get in contact with us straight away 🐾🐶🐱🌾

Please spread the word and share this post so we can get this important information across 😊

Have you heard about our senior clinics? Is your dog or cat over 8 years old? 🩺❣️

Older pets are more prone to developing conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Unfortunately, pets are experts at hiding discomfort, so by the time they show obvious signs, an illness may have progressed significantly.

Our Senior Clinics provide a thorough health check to assess your pet’s overall wellbeing for a cost of £85 (discounted from £170 for the services included). These clinics are available to all cats and dogs over the age of 8 years of age who are not already on long term medication.

The Senior Pet Clinic Includes:

✔ A Full Health Examination – by one of our qualified veterinary nurses checking for lumps, bumps, dental disease, mobility issues, and any changes in weight or body condition.
✔ Blood Pressure Monitoring – High blood pressure (hypertension) is common in older pets and can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
✔ A Screening Blood Test and Urine Analysis – Detecting early signs of kidney disease, liver issues, diabetes, and other age-related conditions.
✔ Tailored Advice based on your Pet’s Individual Needs – We provide guidance on diet, exercise, pain management, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments.
By identifying potential health concerns early, we can implement treatments or lifestyle changes to help your pet stay comfortable and active for as long as possible.

If you would like to book in for a senior pet clinic then please contact us on 📞 01954620555 or 📧[email protected] 🥹🐾🥰
