Fatty liver disease typically occurs when a cat loses weight too quickly, either because of an aggressive diet plan (usually due to excess weight), or due to another disease that leads to appetite loss, or stress.

Essentially, due to the cat not eating, the body starts mobilising fat to the liver to be turned into fuel (glucose). The problem is the cat’s liver can’t process the fat fast enough, resulting in a situation where liver cells can’t operate properly, which can be fatal without rapid treatment!

If you notice your cat is not eating, give us a call immediately!

Did you know that behavioural problems are one of the main reasons for people giving up their dogs?

When we have a dog join our family, especially a puppy, we need to be mindful that there’s a lot they need to learn! Their learning curve might be difficult for you to navigate on your own, and this can lead to behavioural problems, such as:

🐕 Control problems like pulling on the lead, and not coming when called

🐕 Attention-seeking behaviours like jumping up to people, and clinginess

🐕 Aggressive behaviours towards other dogs, or even people

🐕 Fear/avoidance behaviours like anxiety around other dogs, or loud noises (such as fireworks)

If you’re struggling with any of these, it’s important not to resort to negative reinforcement/positive punishment. Shouting at your dog or using training equipment that’s unpleasant to them can result in even more behavioural issues due to the fear and anxiety these methods usually cause.

If you’re thinking about getting a dog, or have a dog with behavioural issues, please get in touch with us and we can help you find the best solutions for you and your pet!

Doggy daycares have been on the rise lately. Has your dog ever been to one? 🐶

If you have a super-sociable dog, then they’ll probably be pretty happy spending the day playing and resting with other dogs all day. But, if you have a pet who’s anxious about new places, people and dogs, a daycare might not be such a good idea!

If you’re thinking about registering your dog into one, first make sure they’re properly licensed. Then, your furry friend will need up-to-date vaccinations and parasite prevention treatments, so don’t hesitate to book an appointment with us to sort everything out well before they need to go.

Puppies are adorable, and it's easy to fall into the temptation of getting one without considering all their needs. But getting a dog comes with significant responsibility. They require a lot of your time, love and budget.

And if you're considering expanding your family, remember there are many dogs at shelters waiting for a second chance in life! 💖

Fear of dogs is often caused by a negative experience with dogs during childhood, leading to fear and anxiety when dealing with dogs later in life. 🐕

If cynophobia is something that afflicts you, being around dogs might be the last thing you want to do! However, exposure to friendly and well-behaved dogs in a safe and controlled environment, and managed by a mental health professional, can be the best way to overcome this fear.

Although cats and dogs are often known for not getting along, there are plenty of examples that show us otherwise, with cats and dogs sleeping together, and even playing together.

Today is International Cat Day but, if we’re being honest (and also because we don’t want to get on any cat’s bad side), every day is cat day! 😺

Although they sometimes wake us up at 3 am for no apparent reason, we still love them. They bring joy, companionship and silliness into our lives.

If you’re a cat owner, please share a pic of your cat(s) in the comments!

Have you ever wondered why cats jump so silently and gracefully? 😺

The pads on their paws act as excellent shock absorbers as they soften the impact of the fall and muffle the sound, making them silent hunters who often go unnoticed by their prey.
