Everyone has a role to both use and dispose of veterinary medicines responsibly to protect pet and human wellbeing, and the health of the environment.

That’s why we are taking part in The Animal Medicines Amnesty. Getting involved is easy. If you have any out-of-date and/or unused pet medications at home, simply return them to either our Blissford or Cranborne branches for safe disposal.

What are the impacts if pet medications aren’t used properly or disposed of safely? Unused or out-of-date pet medicines should never be put in household waste or flushed down the toilet. Any pet medication, if disposed of or used inappropriately, has the potential to contaminate the environment or harm your pet (or other pets) if kept for future use as it could lead to dangerous side-effects. Some medications like antibiotics, wormers or flea treatments may also lead to the build-up of resistance if used when not really needed – this means that they may not work effectively in the future if your pet needs them.

How to get involved

- If you have any out-of-date or unused pet medications return these to your vet for safe disposal. Never put them in household waste or down the toilet

- If you are using flea treatments, follow the instructions carefully for safe use and disposal and if unsure, ask your vet for advice

- If using spot-ons, don’t take your pet to the groomers, bath your pet or let your pet swim in waterways after treatment to avoid environmental contamination.

🎉 Wrapping up Guinea Pig Awareness Week 2026 with a celebration of piggy behaviour!
Have you ever seen your guinea pig suddenly jump in the air, twist, and kick its legs? That’s called "popcorning", and it means they are bursting with joy! Keep them entertained by scattering their food, stuffing toilet paper rolls with hay, and changing up their cage layout during deep cleans.
Thank you for celebrating with us this week! Let’s keep raising the standard for guinea pig care all year round. ❤️

⚖️ It’s health check day! Because guinea pigs are prey animals, they hide illness very well. Proactive healthcare is vital to keeping them Happy and Healthy.
Performing a weekly "Piggy MOT" at home can save lives. Keep an eye out for:
• Bright, clear eyes and clean noses
• Smooth, clean skin and coats
• Weight changes (Weighing them weekly is the best way to catch early illness!)
When was your herd's last weigh-in?

As pets get older, some changes can develop gradually and may not always be obvious at home.

HealthCheck360 for Mature Pets takes a closer look at their health, with an experienced veterinary nurse assessing areas including mobility, lifestyle, and physical health.

It also includes urine analysis and blood screening, with lymphoma cancer screening for at-risk breeds. Blood pressure testing may also be carried out for cats where needed.

These additional checks can help build a fuller picture of your pet’s health as their needs change.

For dogs over 5 years old and cats aged 7 years and over.

🏰 Space to zoom! Today for Guinea Pig Awareness Week, we are looking at the perfect environment.
Traditional small pet shop cages are rarely big enough. Guinea pigs need plenty of flat floor space to run laps and express natural behaviours. Ensure their enclosure is sheltered from draughts, safe from other pets, and packed with hiding spots like tunnels and cardboard boxes!
💡 Top Tip: Make sure their bedding is absorbent and dust-free to protect their sensitive respiratory systems.
