As we chat about our “Summer Smiles” campaign with a keen focus on dental care, we felt it important to share with you this statement from the RCVS regarding “anaesthesia- free” dentals for cats and dogs. There is a concerning rise in the number of establishments offering non-veterinary dentals and the RCVS discusses why they don’t believe these to be in the best interests of the animal.

Meet Eddie the Border Terrier! His owner booked a FREE Summer Smiles dental check - and it may have
saved his life. 💚
The check confirmed dental disease and a lump on his gum and he was booked in for a biopsy and dental. On the recommendation of his vet, his owner agreed to pre-op bloods to check that it was safe to proceed.
The blood results led to a scan, which then led to lifesaving surgery for a serious condition!
Eddie made a full recovery – and you can read his full story here: vetcollection.co.uk/health/pet-dental-health-hub/

✋ Before walking your dog on a hot day, press the back of your hand to the pavement for 5 seconds 🔥
If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paws 🐾
Keep walks safe and paws protected by choosing cooler times of day and paw-friendly surfaces

How hot is too hot for a dog walk?
Each dog is different, for example Brachycephalic (flat faced), elderly or young, excitable dogs are more at risk of heat stroke, but the below shows a general rule of thumb in terms of care needed when walking your dog in hot weather.
Remember, your dog missing a walk or an event is not the end of the world, if it could save their life.

Is Your Pet Overdue for Their Booster Vaccine? Let’s Get Them Back on Track!

Vaccines do more than just protect — they supercharge your pet’s immune system, shielding them from potentially life-threatening infectious diseases. Plus, every vaccination appointment includes a thorough health check from nose to tail — giving you peace of mind that your pet is happy, healthy, and thriving.
If it’s been over a year since their last jab, good news — it’s not too late. You can still book their booster without having to restart the course.
But if they’re more than 3 months overdue, they’ll need to begin a full vaccination course again. Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.
Join Our Vaccine Catch-Up Campaign!
We’ll make it easier (and more affordable) to get your pet protected.
Pay for the first overdue vaccine, and we’ll give you the second one free.
Let’s keep your furry friend safe, healthy, and ready for all of life’s adventures — book today!
Call us on 01362692508 and our reception team will advise you of the next available appointment and answer any questions you may have.

On a warm day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast 🌡🚗
‘Not long’ is too long. If you can’t take them with you when you leave the car - leave them safely at home.

Heatstroke is a veterinary emergency.

Symptoms include:
Heavy panting
Excessive salivation
Rapid heart rate
Bright red gums and tongue
Weakness, confusion or collapse

If you see a dog in distress in a hot car, first call 999, then seek veterinary advice urgently.

Early signs of anxiety are not always easy to spot. If we’re not vigilant, we could miss the initial signs that our pets are feeling stressed or anxious, and therefore miss the opportunity to implement strategies to help manage their behaviour before it escalates into a more serious issue. Some of the signs of anxiety in dogs range from mild/ moderate yawning, lip licking, panting and drooling to more severe destructive behaviour.
If you have any concerns about your dog’s behaviour, it’s important to seek guidance from a qualified professional sooner rather than later.

This is Melo ❤️
Melo recently came in for a lap spay. After a nervous start, she soon found her favourite people to look after her in kennels and spent most of her time upside down (her choice 😆) or being cuddled ❤️
Great job, everyone!
