Leaving your pet with us for a procedure can feel daunting, so here's what actually happens after you say goodbye. 🐾

🩺 A vet examines them and discusses the plan with you before anything goes ahead

🩺 We settle them into a comfortable kennel, with cats kept separate from dogs

🩺 A nurse stays with them as they're anaesthetised, and monitors them throughout

🩺 Pain relief is given before they wake, not just afterwards

🩺 They're recovered in a warm, quiet space with a nurse close by

🩺 We call you with an update as soon as they're awake

Your pet is never left alone while under our care, and there's always someone with them.

The school holidays are ending, backpacks are coming out, and the house may suddenly feel much quieter for your pet.

A change in routine can be confusing, especially when they have become used to having everyone at home. Help make the transition easier by:

👉 Gradually increasing the time they spend alone

👉 Keeping walks and mealtimes consistent

👉 Leaving a safe toy or treats to keep them occupied

👉 Offering calm attention when you leave and return

Small, gradual changes can help your pet feel more secure as the family returns to its usual routine.

If you’ve recently adopted a new pet, we’re so happy for you!

Whether you’ve gained a new puppy/kitten or an adult or even senior pet, it’s always important to:

🐾 Be patient while your new pets adjust to your home and routines

🐾 Get them registered with us, get them a health check, and, if needed, vaccinations or parasite prevention treatments

🐾 If you have a new cat, invest in some environmental enrichment for your home, such as vertical structures, scratching posts and hiding spots

🐾 Keep changes slow: introduce new foods, people, and environments one step at a time to avoid stress and tummy upsets

🐾 Set up a “safe zone” where they can decompress

🐾 Start gentle handling and training early (paws, ears, mouth) with treats, so future care is easier

🐾 If you already have pets, do calm, supervised introductions and give everyone their own space and resources, such as beds, bowls and litter trays

And remember: questions are normal. If you’re unsure about anything, we’re here to help. 🩺
Tell us below: what’s your new pet’s name (and how old are they)? 🐶🐱👇

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.

Thank you! 🐾

Pancreatitis in dogs is not uncommon, especially after eating a rich/fatty meal.
Most dogs do very well with early care, so if you notice any of these signs in your dog, get in touch with us!
