Spooky for us, scary for them! 🎃

Halloween brings lots of fun, but the extra doorbells, masks, and loud noises can make it a stressful night for our four-legged family members.

Here are our top tips to keep your dogs calm and safe on Halloween:

🐾 Walk Early: Take your dog for a long walk before dusk to avoid trick-or-treaters and fireworks.

🚪 Create a Safe Den: Set up a cozy spot in a quiet room with their favorite blanket, bed, and toys.

🎶 Mask the Noise: Turn on the TV, play calm music, or use white noise to drown out doorbells and sudden bangs. ‘Calming music for dogs’ is a good playlist on Spotify.

🍬 Keep Sweets Out of Reach: Chocolate, sweets, and xylitol (sweetener) are toxic to dogs! Keep the trick-or-treat stash high up.

🏷️ Check Microchips & IDs: Spooked pets can bolt. Make sure their ID tag and microchip details are up to date just in case.

We hope you and your pets have a safe and happy Halloween weekend! 🐾🎃

OTIS AND THE STICKY SITUATION! 🐾🌿

Some dogs really do take sniffing things to the next level… and Otis is one of them! 😂

Otis arrived at the practice with sudden-onset nosebleeds and lots of sneezing. 👃🩸

Vet Courtney suspected there was more going on than met the eye, so Otis came back for a rhinoscopy (using a tiny camera to investigate inside his nose).

And what did we find? A STICK… measuring a whopping 10cm long, lodged right up his nose! 😱🌿

Nobody “nose” quite how it got there, but we’re delighted to report that, after careful removal and a good flush of his nasal cavity, Otis is feeling SO much better and is back to his happy self!

Sleepy Bunny after her vaccination appointment today 💤🥺

Routine vaccinations are a key part of keeping our patients happy, healthy, and protected. Resting up afterwards is a vital part of the process … Bunny clearly has the cosy routine down to a science!

📞 To check if your pet is up to date on their preventative care, feel free to give our reception team a call at 0141 724 2111

With fireworks season fast approaching, it’s time to start preparing your pet’s ‘safe haven.’🧘🏼‍♀️

But the most important step happens long before the first sparklers are lit!

💊 ORDER MEDICATION IN ADVANCE: If your pet requires prescription calming medication, please remember to order it now. Our pharmacy gets very busy this time of year, and many treatments work best when started before the noise begins.

3 Tips for Calmer Nights:

1. Create a Den: Build a ‘safe space’ in a quiet room with their favourite blankets and an item of your clothing for scent comfort.

2. Soundproof: Close curtains early and play calming music or white noise to mask the bangs.

3. Microchips: Ensure your contact details are up to date in case a sudden noise causes them to bolt.

📞 Call us on 0141 724 2111 or use our website to request your repeat prescriptions today!

(Please note: if your pet has not been seen by one of our vets in the past 6 months they will need a medication check prior to us dispensing medication)

A non animal related post today but equally as important!

🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️ 🚴

You will occasionally see Vet Courtney cycling to and from work. Courtney is about to take part in Glasgow’s Tour de 4 on September 6th, in the 63km cycle.

This is all to raise funds for a very important cause, Prostate cancer UK. Each year, thousands of dads, grandads, brothers, partners and friends lose their lives to prostate cancer. It is something that has affected many family members within our team.

Prostate cancer is the only major cancer without a mass screening programme and that needs to change.

Any donations via the link below would be much appreciated. 💙
