‼️ THIS MONTH'S OFFERS AT THE WELLNESS HUB ‼️

This month is Animal Pain Awareness Month and we want to embrace the importance of keeping your pets as happy and pain free as possible; especially our golden oldies!
Supplements can help reduce inflammation and provide an element of pain relief. They can be of benefit for those active, young dogs too to help support their working joints!

There is nothing worse than tooth ache! Dental disease in animals can cause other organ dysfunction, inflammation and infection. Our Wellness nurses will be able to advise you on dental health and cleaning regimes - just pop in to speak to us and book your pet in! 😃

UPDATE! We no longer require a donor for Ursula and she is doing well 😄 Thank you everyone for helping and sharing.

❗️URGENT help needed for little Ursula! We are looking for large healthy cats who could be a blood donor for a cat who is in desperate need for a blood transfusion.

To be considered as a donor, cats should be:
• Fit and healthy
• Between 1 and 10 years old
• Weigh more than 4kg
• Up to date with vaccinations
• Up to date with flea and worm treatments
• Not on any medication
• Have never travelled abroad
• Have never had a blood transfusion
• They can be indoor or outdoor cats
• Enjoy being handled and spending time around people

If you think your cat could be a possible donor please get in touch!
We already know Ursula is blood type B so the donor also needs to be blood type B.

The procedure for being a blood donor involves checking blood typing to see if a match, checking current PCV status and FIV/FeLV screening.
If their blood type matches we can then collect the required amount of blood. In most cases we give mild sedation so your cat is a relaxed as possible. We place your cat on a drip and give a good meal afterwards with lots of fuss! 🥰
There is no charge for being a blood donor.

‼️ DENTAL HEALTH ‼️

Maintaining your pet's dental health is just as important as your own! Having bad dental disease is not only painful but can have a significant affect on other organ function.

Brushing their teeth is the ultimate best thing to aid towards keeping a healthy mouth but we know that this can be challenging! However, this is not the only way to maintain good dental health!

We are inviting our clients to bring their pet and come for a Dental Health consultation with one of our Wellness Hub Nurses for £10 instead of £25.

They will cover:

🪥 Dental disease staging
🪥 Advice on how to brush their teeth
🪥 Plaque detection on your pet's teeth (for a small additional charge)
🪥 Why anaesthetics are required for dental procedures
🪥 Dietary aids towards helping dental health and hygiene
🪥 Healthy dental treat choices
🪥 Veterinary recommended Dental Health Products
🪥 Microbiome and the oral cavity

🐕🐈🐇 Please contact us to schedule your pet's appointment so we can help keep your pets smiling, eliminate bad breath and support a pain-free mouth! 🐕🐈🐇
