⏰🐾 Reminder! The clocks go back this weekend! 🐾🌙

With the clocks going back, our evenings will soon be getting darker much earlier. It's important to take a few extra precautions to keep our furry friends safe! 🐾

🐶 Be seen and stay safe on dog walks: As darker evenings make pets harder to spot, use reflective collars, harnesses, leads or LED lights to improve visibility. Keep dogs on leads near roads and stick to well-lit routes where possible! 🌙

🐱 Keep cats safe: Cats may be more vulnerable to road accidents during darker evenings. Consider keeping them indoors overnight and using a reflective, quick-release collar where appropriate.✨

🐰 Keep small pets safe: Make sure outdoor rabbits and guinea pigs have a warm, dry shelter with plenty of bedding. Check that hutches and runs are secure and predator-proof, especially during darker evenings and colder weather! 🐹🍂

A few simple precautions can make a big difference in keeping our pets safe as the darker evenings draw in!💛

Last month, we sadly said goodbye to one of our wonderful senior nurses, Nina! 💚

After 11 amazing years with us, Nina will be a familiar face to many of our clients and their pets! Alongside her nursing role, she has also spent the last couple of years helping to manage our admin team. 🥰

Nina has been such a valued member of our team, and we'll certainly miss having her around!

Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and everything you've done over the years.💚

Wishing you the very best of luck in your exciting new venture, Nina! 🍀✨ You'll be missed! 💐

Lovely Teddy visited us last month for his castration and microchip, and it’s safe to say he quickly became a firm favourite with the team! 🥰

He enjoyed plenty of cuddles and attention from all of our nurses and was an absolute star throughout his visit. ⭐

🐾 It’s Pet Obesity Awareness Day! 🐾

Did you know that 44% of UK cats and 51% of UK dogs are overweight or obese? Carrying excess weight can even reduce a pet’s lifespan by up to 2.5 years.

Small changes can make a big difference! Feeding your pet appropriately for their age, size and lifestyle, providing regular exercise and choosing healthy treats can all help maintain a healthy weight, support their joints and improve their overall quality of life. ❤️

Not sure if your pet is a healthy weight? You can check their Body Condition Score using the WSAVA guide below, or pop in for a weight consultation with our lovely nurse Michelle! 🐶🐱

Being a healthy weight really can make a difference! 🐾

🐾💚 Superstar Esty! 💚🐾

Vet Dan’s beautiful Labrador, Esty, recently came in for her laparoscopic spay and was a brilliant patient! 🥰🐶

A laparoscopic spay, also known as a keyhole spay, is a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional spay. It involves smaller incisions and can mean a quicker, more comfortable recovery – particularly helpful for active and bouncy medium-large dogs like Esty! 🐾

Esty was an absolute star throughout her visit and, of course, enjoyed plenty of fuss from the team! ⭐💚
