Finding a lump on your pet can be frightening.

When Mrs Davies discovered a swelling on her terrier Fudge’s leg, she feared the worst. After investigating further, the lump was diagnosed as cancer.

But this is not simply a sad story. With careful monitoring, gentle treatment and regular home visits, Fudge enjoyed nearly two more happy years chasing balls, barking at visitors and living life completely on her own terms.

Sometimes treatment is not about curing disease. Sometimes it is about protecting quality of life for as long as possible. ❤️

Finding a Lump We have known Mrs Davies’ little terrier family for many years. Florence, the mum, and her daughters, Fidgit and Fudge, are regular patients of ours. In fact we were there to check the two little girls over soon after they were born. We have visited for all the usual things — vacc...

A rags to riches fairytale?

That's what most people imagine when they think about rescuing a dog from abroad. Taking an unwanted and unloved dog from the streets and bringing it to a loving home where all its wants are cared for, with a warm bed, plenty of food and plenty of cuddles.

But for many dogs, especially adult dogs who have lived all their life on the streets, the experience can feel more like an alien abduction 😨
❗Being captured and then subjected to a terrifying journey.
❗ New surroundings where nothing is familiar.
❗Being trapped with humans, who in the past may have hurt the dog.
❗Not being able to hide or escape.

If you have rescued a dog from abroad, try and see things from their point of view. At first they may need lots of time and space to adapt.

You can help the process by
✅letting them set the tempo - don't force anything
✅give them a choice whether to interact
✅give them a space where they know you won't disturb them
✅keep a consistent routine.

👀Top tips for rescuing a dog from abroad. 👀

Do lots of research into the rescue organisation and the dog’s background.

Don’t adopt on impulse because of an emotional plea from the rescue that a dog is going to be put down.

Dogs under a year old are more resilient and will adapt to a pet lifestyle more easily than a dog that has lived several years on the streets.

As well as vaccinations, ask what disease testing has been done and get certificates for this.

Expect that your vet will want to test your dog again for exotic diseases once it has been in the country for six months.

Be aware that dogs transported by land will have had a long and frightening journey, and this can cause issues for some dogs.

Be patient. Adapting to new people, a new home and a new way of life takes time, particularly for dogs that have never experienced this.

Give them lots of space and time. Let them come to you on their terms.

Expect to have to invest time and money in helping your dog to adapt.

If your rescue dog feels happier sleeping outside in the garden, let them. (As long as they can’t escape).

Arthritis is common, and often missed because cats hide their pain. They don’t let on that they are in pain, they just move more slowly and sleep more.
Dont let your cat be one of those suffering in silence

Did you know that around 90% of cats aged over 12 years old will have some degree of arthritis detectable on X-rays? The pain of this can go unnoticed as cats are so good at hiding discomfort. Learn the signs, and the support you can offer your older cat with our detailed vet approved health page here: https://www.cats.org.uk/help-and-advice/health/arthritis

⛱Summer Hazards‼️

Grass awns - they're out and spreading fast.

These pesky grass seeds get stuck in ears, paws, armpits, gums and other painful places!!

If your pooch has a long coat and or loves running through the grass then make sure you check them after a walk - lift their ear flaps and look in the entrance to the ear and also in the fur around their toes.
Or ask your groomer to clip the fur short between toes and on the underside of their ear flaps.

Signs that a grass seed may be causing a problem
- constant head shaking
- lameness or holding up a paw

Call us if you're concerned.
