☀️ Hot Weather Advice for Pet Owners ☀️

With temperatures expected to be exceptionally high over the coming days, we'd like to remind everyone to take extra care when travelling with their pets.

🐾 Please ensure your vehicle has working air conditioning or is adequately cooled before travelling to your appointment.

🐾 Never leave pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.

🐾 If your pet is due to come in for a routine appointment or planned procedure, please allow extra time for your journey.

🐾 If you have any concerns about travelling safely in the heat, please contact the practice before setting off.

The safety and welfare of our patients, clients and team members will always come first. During periods of extreme heat, we may need to review and, in some cases, reschedule non-urgent procedures if we feel it is in a pet's best interests to do so.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we navigate the hot weather safely together. 💙

Happy World Blood Donor Day 🩸

Did you know that dogs can also be blood donors? 🐶

Just like humans, dogs sometimes need lifesaving blood transfusions, and the only source of that blood is other dogs!

We rely on donated blood to carry out lifesaving treatments. Without donor dogs, many of the procedures we perform simply wouldn’t be possible ❤️‍🩹

We’re proud to host donation sessions with Blood Bank UK, the only charity in the UK that provides a blood bank service for dogs 🙏

Our next donation session is on 27th of June and we’d love to see you there. If your dog is aged between 1 and 8, weighs over 25kg, and is fit, healthy, and confident, they could have what it takes to be a lifesaving blood donor! Find out more and register at www.petbloodbankuk.org/welcome ❤️

If your dog can’t donate blood, you can still make a big difference by spreading the word, so please share this post to help save lives 🥰

☀️Hot Weather Warning for Pets ☀️

As the temperature is rising, please remember that the heat can be dangerous- even deadly- for our pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals can quickly suffer from dehydration, heatstroke and also burnt paws.

Tips to keep your pets safe during the heat:
◾ Always provide fresh water
◾ Walking dogs in early mornings or late evening
◾ Never leave pets in a hot car, even if for a few minutes
◾ Make sure pets have plenty of shade and access to a cool place to rest

If you are concerned your pet might have heat stroke please contact your vet immediately!

The RSPCA has some more information on how you can keep your pets safe during this very warm weather. See link below!
