Next month, we’ll be teaming up with our Chesser neighbours at Blue Sky Photography for a very special Dog of the Month Competition! 📸🐶

If you’ve seen Blue Sky’s work before, you’ll know just how talented their photographers are. We’re absolutely delighted to be collaborating with Alie and Niels, such a brilliant local photography team!

Here are just a few examples of their gorgeous pet portraits. We can’t wait to see which of our lovely Thistle Vets pets will be stepping in front of the camera! 🐾📸

Stay tuned for all the details… 👀

In the meantime, go and show some love to Blue Sky Photography and check out more of their fantastic work! 💙

🚨Attention all bunny owners! 🚨
Flystrike is more common during these warmer months and even healthy bunnies can get it.

Not to mention guinea pigs can get flystrike too! Here are some top tips on how to prevent it, including treating your rabbit regularly with Rearguard💜🐇
