Is your pet in pain? Here’s what to look out for! 🐾

Pets can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so it’s up to us to spot the signs. Some common clues include:

🔹 Changes in behaviour – Is your pet more withdrawn or grumpy?
🔹 Unusual movement – Limping, stiffness, or difficulty getting up could mean discomfort.
🔹 Eating less – A loss of appetite can be a sign something’s wrong.
🔹 Excessive grooming – Constant licking or chewing one area? They might be soothing a sore spot.
🔹 Hiding or avoiding contact – If they suddenly don’t want to be touched or seem distant, it’s worth checking out.

If you notice any of these, don’t wait. Book a vet check-up to keep your pet happy and healthy.

We’re expecting some hot weather this week. If it feels warm to you, it’s even hotter for your dog.

Skipping a walk is always the safer choice when it’s too hot. No dog has ever been harmed by missing one, but heatstroke can be deadly.
