It’s Day 4 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better!

Rabbits love to forage, dig, chew and explore, and food can be a great way to encourage these natural behaviours. Try scattering nuggets through hay, hiding treats in enrichment toys or offering safe forage to keep mealtimes fun and stimulating.

Feeding shouldn’t just fill tummies, it should keep rabbits mentally and physically active too.

It’s Day 3 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better!

Did you know hay should make up 85–90% of your rabbit’s diet? The rest should include a small portion of high-fibre nuggets, rabbit-safe greens and fresh water daily.

Too many treats or muesli-style foods can lead to selective feeding and serious health issues, so getting the balance right matters.

It’s Day 2 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better!

Rabbits are social animals and should live in compatible pairs or groups. A lonely rabbit can become stressed, withdrawn and may even lose interest in food.

Eating together is a natural rabbit behaviour, bonded bunnies often graze side-by-side, forage together and help each other feel safe and secure.

Friendship really can help keep rabbits happier, healthier and eating well.

It’s Day 1 of Rabbit Awareness Week and we’re kicking off our 20th anniversary campaign: Feeding Bunnies Better!

Rabbits need plenty of space to hop, stretch, explore and forage naturally. A cramped setup limits movement, impacting their health, wellbeing and make it harder to encourage natural feeding behaviours like grazing on hay throughout the day.

Create a rabbit-friendly space with room to scatter feed, forage and roam, because happy homes help create healthy appetites.

Make sure to bring your rabbits in for a wellness check with our nurses. This is a chance to discuss diet, enclosure, companionship and preventative health care. We can also help you apply Rearguard to reduce the risk of flystrike - just bring the product with you or ask us to order it in for you in advance.

The Innate Health Assessment is a 10-point visual checklist recently developed by the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare (APGAW) and the Royal Veterinary Collage. It aims to encourage the breeding of healthy and happy dogs, and reduce the extreme physical conformations that have developed when we breed dogs for their appearance alone.

Innate health is the ability to carry out the natural functions and behaviours that any normal dog should be able to do e.g. breathe freely, blink normally, wag their tail. The Innate Health Assessment can be used to assess dogs more than 12 months old to guide breeding choices. Prospective dog owners can also use the Innate Health Assessment to assess the health of the parents of any puppy they are interested in, or assess the health of any dog more than 12 months old they wish to adopt or purchase. The hope is this will lead to a healthier and happier dog population in the UK.

PUPPY PREPARATION : MEETING NEW HUMANS

A big part of everyday life for dogs is meeting new people when out on walks or when visitors come home. You can start to prepare your puppy for visitors by getting them used to the doorbell. Teach them to go to their bed or sit and wait when the doorbell rings. Once they get good at this, you can welcome guests to your home. Single visitors should sit on the floor and allow your puppy to approach at their own pace. As confidence increases, you can introduce more than one guest at a time and in new locations.

Before heading on walks with your puppy, introduce them to things like hoods/hats, high-vis clothing, rucksacks, walking sticks, umbrellas, prams etc. Make sure this is a positive experience. If they are relaxed and happy, give them a treat or toy to play with. It is very important not to scare your puppy so take things slowly!

PUPPY PREPARATION : NEW NOISES
It is important to slowly and carefully introduce your puppy to sounds they are likely to hear in everyday life. Think about introducing them to the noise of kitchen appliances and equipment, household appliances (washing machine, vacuum), the fire alarm and doorbell, fireworks, gunshots, storms, building work, conversations, playing children and traffic noise etc. Puppies that are gradually exposed to noises during early life are more likely to cope with unusual sounds later. You can use sound recordings to help with this, like those produced by Dogs Trust (Sounds Sociable).

PUPPY PREPARATION : NEW ENVIRONMENTS AND OBJECTS

Puppies will encounter lots of objects and experiences that need to become a normal part of their life. This will enable them to grow into confident adults.

Introduce them to:
• Different surfaces to walk on including carpet, tile, laminate, grass, gravel, tarmac, sand.
• Objects they may see when they leave the house.
• Everyday items like umbrellas, bicycles, suitcases, wheelchairs, prams.
• Smells around your home.
• Noisy objects like the vacuum cleaner or hairdryer. Introduce the item when switched off first and allow your puppy to approach and investigate. Once they are happy, switch on the item for a short period of time. Once your puppy is calm with this, move around the house with the item, first with the sound off then on.
• Your car in the driveway. Get them comfortable with climbing in and out, wearing a safety harness, and the sound of the engine.

Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month

Our nursing team play another vital role by running their own consultations and clinics to help ensure your pet’s general health and wellbeing are maintained. These include pre-neuter checks, post-operative checks, weight clinics, nail clips, wound management and bandaging, puppy and kitten checks, microchipping, dental checks, senior pet checks, dematts, grooming, blood pressure monitoring and diabetic clinics. As part of these clinics, we also offer confidence visits, a chance for your pet to visit us with the aim of gaining experience, reassurance and a positive take on vet visits. We can use these visits as an opportunity to practice sitting on the scales, having a physical examination or preparing for injections. Sometimes it’s just nice for them to visit for a hug and a chat!
