Today is World Kidney Day! Did you know 20-50% of cats over the age of 15 have some degree of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

You can help maintain the health of your cat's kidneys by encouraging hydration. While it may seem difficult to get your cat to drink more, here are a few tips that may help keep your cats well hydrated. 💧

1. Ensure your cat likes their water bowl. Cats tend to prefer glass or ceramic bowls over plastic or stainless steel ones due to the taste. Make sure the bowl is wide and shallow (so their whiskers don't touch). Cats also prefer their resources to be separate. Placing the water bowl (or bowls, preferably) away from the food may also help to improve drinking.

2. Cat fountains can be a great option to encourage drinking as most cats love running water.

3. Feeding a wet diet and adding extra water in the food can be a easy way to offer some extra hydration.

Handsome Pete was in recently for some urinary checks - he loved getting some head rubs from our vet Claire. In fact he was quite unimpressed when she stopped. 😾

Do you know what to look out for when it comes to your cat's dental health? 🦷✨

Here are a few signs that your cat may have dental disease.

While these are good symptoms to look out for, cats will often hide their pain. It is common for cats to show none of these signs yet have severe dental disease.

This is why we are offering free of charge dental checks for the month of February with our RVNs. To make your appointment, either book on our website for a nurse consultation or phone us on 0131 466 7110.
