Time to show off those winter-ready looks! ❄️🐾

As the temperature drops, it's important to keep our furry friends warm and cosy. Here are some essential tips to ensure they stay comfortable during the chilly season:

🧥 Bundle Up: Train your dog to wear a well-fitting jumper or jacket for warmth during walks or outdoor play. If there's deep snow, keep them on a lead to avoid hidden dangers like frozen water or deep holes

🐾 Limit Outdoor Time: Keep your cat’s outdoor adventures short in freezing or snowy conditions to protect their paws and ears from frost damage

🛏️ Create a Cosy Spot: Make sure they have a soft, warm bed indoors where they can curl up and relax

🌡️ Keep the Indoors Toasty: Ensure your home is comfortably heated and offer extra blankets for snuggles

Share a photo of your pet in their winter gear or cosy spot below! 🐶❄️

Today is World Diabetes Day! 🐾💙
Just like humans, our furry companions can develop diabetes too. Pet diabetes occurs when the body can’t properly produce or utilise insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Early detection is key to managing this condition and ensuring your pet lives a happy, healthy life.

Some signs to watch for include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, reduced activity/feeling tired, and increased appetite. If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment with us right away.

Enrichment Day

Make Every Day an Adventure for Your Cat! 🐱🌟

Keeping your cat enriched and happy doesn’t have to be complicated. Spice up their routine with these fun and simple activities that keep them entertained and mentally sharp:

🐾 Scrunched Paper Play: Toss a scrunched-up paper ball for endless entertainment!
🐾 Hide and Seek: Open doors, cupboards, or closets for a mini-exploration adventure.
🐾 Blanket Fort Fun: Drape a blanket over toys or furniture to create an instant cat-sized mystery!
🐾 Cardboard Creations: Build a pyramid with toilet or kitchen roll tubes for some DIY fun.
🐾 Puzzle Feeder: Turn mealtime into a game with scattered treats or a puzzle feeder.
🐾 DIY Wand Toy: Wiggle a ribbon or string to activate your cat’s hunting instincts - but be sure they can’t take it away and swallow it!

🔄 Tip: Switch it up daily! Rotate small toys to keep things fresh and exciting.

To the animals lost in service, and to those who serve us today 💜

Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and purple poppies can be worn to remember the service of these animals and the lives that were lost.
