🐾 Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition in dogs. This is usually due to genetic predisposition and the dysplasia develops or worsens as the dog grows.

Hip dysplasia can occur in any breed of dog. It is typically associated with large breeds such as Labradors, German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Saint Bernards, but is increasingly being diagnosed in smaller breeds such as French Bulldogs.

Some great advice from specialists in pain management Fergus Coutts

❄️ Pets can get stiffer in winter ❄️
Cold weather doesn’t just make us shiver — it can irritate sore joints in pets too. Elderly animals or those with health issues are especially at risk of slips, falls, and discomfort.

💤 Provide a cosy, comfy bed
🧥 Pop on a jacket for chilly walks
⏱ Keep outdoor time short on cold days
🚶 Stick to clear paths if it’s icy

💙 If you notice your pet struggling with the cold, speak to your vet. You can also reach out to me by email, phone, or DM for support.

Did you know? Antifreeze is toxic to cats. The smell and taste of antifreeze is very appealing to our feline friends, and they are likely to lap it up if they come across a spillage. So, as the weather starts to chill off, please be careful when topping up your cars with antifreeze and clear up any spillages made.

For cat owners, check out the symptoms of antifreeze poisoning to be aware of below.

get the care they need, when they need it.

🐾 4 in 5 dogs over the age of 8 are living with chronic joint pain.
Spotting arthritis isn’t always easy. Dogs are good at hiding discomfort, and
signs like lameness or stiffness can be subtle - especially when more than
one leg is affected.
Early detection makes a big difference. With the right treatment, we can
slow the progression of arthritis and help your dog stay active and
comfortable for longer. Worried about your dog’s mobility? Book an
appointment today!
To help spot the signs early, we recommend the Dog Mobility App
(DogMA) from the University of Liverpool - a free, easy to use, scientifically
validated tool that helps you assess your dog’s mobility at home.
