🎃🐈‍⬛ HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM RIVERSIDE VETS! 🐈‍⬛🎃

Little ‘twiggy’ is ready for a spooktacular Halloween! 🧙‍♀️🧡

We hope all our lovely clients and their furry friends have a fantastic Halloween! 👻🐾

🧡 A few tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween:

🎃 Keep chocolate, sweets and Halloween treats out of reach – some can be toxic to pets!

👻 Keep decorations, candles and glow sticks away from curious paws.

🐈‍⬛ Trick-or-treaters and spooky noises can be frightening, so provide a quiet, safe space for nervous pets.

📸 We’d love to see your pets getting into the Halloween spirit! Share your spooky photos in the comments below!

Happy Halloween from all the team at Riverside Vets! 🎃🧡🐾

💗🐾 Wishing Our Lovely Julia a Very Happy Retirement! 🐾💗

After an incredible 19 years at Riverside Vets, it’s time for us to say a very fond farewell to our wonderful Julia as she heads off on her well-deserved retirement! 🥹💐

Julia has been part of the Riverside family since 2007, working tirelessly behind the scenes looking after our accounts and managing our Riverside Healthcare Plans, amongst many other things!

Anyone who knows Julia will know just how bubbly, kind-hearted and caring she is. Her infectious laugh, warm smile and lovely personality have brightened so many days at the practice, and she really has been such a special part of our team. 💕

Of course, we can’t forget her gorgeous little sidekick, Beryl 🐶🐾, who is also a much-loved member of the Riverside family!

Julia, we can’t thank you enough for all your hard work, dedication, friendship and the countless laughs over the years. The practice certainly won’t be the same without you, and you will be missed more than you know!

We hope your retirement is filled with happiness, relaxation, plenty of adventures and, of course, lots of quality time with friends, family and Beryl! 🥰

From all of us at Riverside Vets, thank you for everything, Julia. Enjoy every minute of your retirement — you deserve it! 💗🥂

Please join us in wishing Julia a very happy retirement in the comments! 👇💐🐾

🎆🐾 PAWSITIVELY CALM – PREPARING YOUR PETS FOR FIREWORK SEASON! 🐾🎆

Firework season is fast approaching! While fireworks can be exciting for us, they can be a frightening and stressful experience for our four-legged friends.
We want to help you prepare early and keep your dogs and cats feeling safe and secure! 💙

🐶🐱 Recognising the signs of stress

Our pets can show anxiety in different ways. Look out for:

🐾 Panting, trembling or pacing

🐾 Excessive grooming, drooling or yawning

🐾 Hiding or trying to escape

🐾 Changes in appetite or toileting habits

🐾 Unusual vocalisation or clingy behaviour

🏡 Create a safe space

Provide a quiet, cosy area where your pet can retreat if they feel frightened.

🐶 For dogs: Create a comfortable den with familiar blankets, toys and their favourite bed.

🐱 For cats: Provide hiding places, cosy covered beds and access to elevated areas where they feel secure. Never force them out of hiding.

Close curtains to reduce flashing lights and use calming music, television or white noise to help mask the sounds of fireworks.

Plan ahead!

✔️ Walk dogs earlier in the day, before fireworks begin.

✔️ Keep cats indoors overnight, ensuring cat flaps, windows and doors are securely closed.

✔️ Provide enrichment such as lick mats, puzzle feeders or favourite toys.

✔️ Ensure your pet’s microchip details are up to date.

✔️ Consider calming pheromone products such as Adaptil for dogs or Feliway for cats, ideally introduced before firework season begins.

❤️ Stay calm and reassuring

Our pets often look to us for reassurance. Maintain a calm environment and allow them to choose where they feel safest.

Offer comfort if they seek it, but never force interaction or punish fearful behaviour.

💊 Does your pet struggle with fireworks?

Some pets may benefit from calming supplements, pheromone products or prescribed medication.

If your dog or cat has previously shown signs of significant firework anxiety, please contact us early! Our clinical team can discuss the most suitable options and help create a plan tailored to your pet’s needs.

🐾 Remember, every pet is different!

What works for one may not work for another. Early preparation can make a huge difference in helping your furry friends feel safe this firework season.

📞 Contact us on 02380 620 607 for further advice or to arrange a consultation.

💙 Let’s work together to keep our pets PAWSITIVELY CALM this firework season! 🎆🐾
