Keep your dog's smile healthy and sparkling! 🐶✨

Did you know our Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) at our Pentwyn practice perform dental scale and polish procedures to help maintain your dog's oral health?

If you've noticed bad breath, tartar build-up, or you're simply keen to stay on top of your pet's dental care, we'd love to help.

📞 Book a 30 minute appointment (at either branch) with our nursing team for a dental assessment. We'll discuss your dog's dental health, answer any questions, and, if appropriate, arrange a scale and polish procedure.

Give us a call today to book your nurse consultation and help keep those tails wagging and teeth shining! 🦷🐾

NB. This is just for scale and polish only. RVNs are unable to perform extractions.

Wet then vet = how you deal with a dog suffering from heatstroke. Quickly wet the dog with cold water or as close as you can get (not
freezing cold). If not available, any water that is cooler than the dog’s skin feels.
Cool water is ideal, but any water will help. If you only have soft drinks, ensure they don't contain xylitol, and avoid pouring them on the dog's
head. Wetting the dog will promote cooling through evaporation. Do this before taking them to the vet but don't spend too much time on it.
Afterward, contact the vet and inform them about the situation and how long it will take you to arrive. This allows the vet's team to prepare for your dog's arrival and increases their chances of receiving prompt treatment.
Avoid using wet towels on the dog as they can trap heat. However, specialised cooling vests that function through evaporation are suitable.

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions. Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.

🐰Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and living environment, especially during warmer months.

🐰Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or unusual behaviour.

🐰Prevention is key: ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods recommended by your vet.

🚨If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary assistance immediately. Early detection and treatment are crucial for the well-being of your furry friend!

🔥Please take care as the temperatures start to rise again on the weekend and early next week.🔥⚠️

The very young, elderly and especially brachycephalic breeds are at particular risk of heat stroke. 🥵

If you have a non-urgent appointment and would like to rearrange it, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Thank you 😊
