Pets are great at learning new things, but also at pretending they don’t know what a certain command means when they actually do. 😅

You may have heard of atopic dermatitis in humans, but did you know it can also affect pets? 🤔

This is a common, chronic, and genetically influenced allergic skin disease, primarily caused by an overactive immune response to common environmental allergens. These allergens can be pollen, dust mites, and moulds, leading to:

👉 Inflammation

👉 Intense itching

👉 Skin lesions

While there's no cure for this condition, there are ways to manage it and improve your pet’s quality of life, so get in touch with us if your pet is itchy and uncomfortable.

Hyperthyroidism is a common disease in older cats, caused by an overactive thyroid gland which leads to a sped-up metabolism.

Common signs include:

👉 Weight loss despite a normal or even increased appetite

👉 Increased thirst and urination

👉 Behavioural changes, such as vocalisation, becoming more active or lethargic

👉 Vomiting and diarrhoea

👉 Fur that looks unkept

If your cat shows any of these signs, please get in touch with us straight away.

Signs of hyperthyroidism are non-specific, so a thorough investigation is needed.

Diagnosis is based on blood tests and treatment often includes taking medication long-term to control hormonal production, although there are other options available. Our recommendations will always be tailored to your cat. ❤️

Something we’d like everybody to know about veterinary medicine is that every day is different and unpredictable. 🩺

This means that an emergency might come through the doors when we least expect it, with a pet needing the immediate attention of our vets and nurses.

If you have an appointment and we’re late due to an emergency, we apologise, but this is really not something we can predict.

Please be patient with us. 🤝

Most dogs love a good walk, whatever the season, but just like us, they can sometimes feel the chill. Here are some signs your dog might be too cold:

🐕 Shivering or trembling

🐕 Curling up tightly or lifting paws off the ground

🐕 Slowing down on walks or trying to head back home

🐕 Whining, seeking warmth or clinging to you

🐕 Ears or body cold to the touch

If you notice these signs, it’s time to end the walk and warm them up.

Every dog is different, so it’s important to notice that smaller breeds, older pets, and those with thin coats may need extra protection in winter, such as warm clothes.
