He was found on Duke street and is healthy.

Here are some tips and tricks to keeping your pets busy in this warm weather while preventing them from overheating!

We recommend limiting your pets exercise when its too hot outside to prevent heatstroke and burnt paws, enrichment can provide your pet with the mental stimulation they need when they are unable to exercise.

Please be mindful of your pets in this hot weather! ☀🌡

Make sure you have plenty of cool fresh water available for them and limit their exercise to ensure they don't overheat.

Use cool matts and freeze towels for them to sit on and ensure there are shaded areas available, you can use fans around the house to keep the air circulating and freeze bottles of water to keep areas cold.

Always do a pavement tests before taking your pets outside by standing on the pavement barefoot for 5-7 seconds and if the heat is uncomfortable for you then this is too hot for your pets.

We unfortunately have had a deceased ginger and white entire male cat brought into practice after being involved in an RTA on Eaves Lane near Tatton Gardens.
Unfortunately he isn't microchipped, if you think he may be yours please contact the practice either on 01257 274767 or via email [email protected].

Due the amount of no shows for puppy litter vaccination appointments, we will now be taking a 30% non-refundable deposit for bookings on litters of 4 puppies or over.
These missed appointments take multiple consultation slots that could have been used for sick animals and has a massive impact on the daily running in the practice.
Thank you for your continued support.
