ATTENTION ALL CAT OWNERS🐈

Believe it or not, it has now been just over 10 years since Stan & Dalya took over at Magnolia House and we want to celebrate this by giving a gift to YOU, our wonderful clients and patients🥰

During the months of May and June we will be offering free blood pressure checks to all cats.
Why is this important you ask?
High blood pressure or 'Hypertension' is sadly quite a common disorder which affects 1 in 5 cats aged 9 and above. As there are no visible outward signs of hypertension, it may stay undiagnosed for a long period of time which is why the disease is often termed as a 'silent killer'. Hypertension is very harmful to the body, it can cause damage to the eyes, kidneys, heart and brain.
Early detection is the key with this disease, in doing this we can control blood pressure with medication before long-lasting damage is done.

Please call us to book in with one of our lovely nurses who will take a reading during a short consultation. This is an easy, quick and painless process.

All participants will also be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a Lickimatt and Feliway gift for your precious kitty (and a sweet human treat of course!)🎁

Dog and exotics owners please don't think we have forgotten about you, we will be announcing our gifts to you very soon!

*EDIT- if your cat is already on blood pressure medication please still take advantage of this offer 😊

What does being Fear Free mean to us?

It means that your pet's mental and emotional, not just physical, comfort comes first - even if we sometimes annoy you by cutting a visit short and asking you to come back on a different day with some anti-anxiety meds on board! (And I'd like to say we're sorry about that, but my lack of poker face gives me away! 😜)

It means loads of treats and distractions, plenty of comfortable blankets and cuddles, separate species wards and waiting areas, muted lighting, music in the wards, Pet Remedy and Adaptil and Feliway on tap.

It means longer consult times, so your pets have time to explore and settle in, and so we can take the physical exam as slow as they are comfortable with.

It means creating a Zen Den, so there's a quiet room you can wait in if the general waiting area gets too busy or your pet is a bit worried.

It means having the amazing Becky, a clinical behaviourist, on our team.

It means managing the diary booking so that anxious pets have minimal waiting times, or are seen at a time when there is no-one else in the waiting room, or making sure the bookings around them are not of the same species.

It means that pets who find kennels stressful are admitted for surgery at a time when they can have their sedative straight away and don't have to wait their turn. And it means that you can stay with them until the sedative takes effect if you wish, and even be with them as soon as they go into recovery.

It means if we sometimes don't get it quite right, we learn and we do better next time.

Fear Free is not just what we do, it is who we are.

With love to all the amazing critters we are lucky to help care for! xx
