Insurance is important for your pet, accidents and illness can happen at any time, and it’s comforting to know that the cost of your pet's care will be covered if ever needed.

When it comes to considering insurance, many people hold the misconception that only older pets need it, as they’re more likely to get ill. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case: younger pets are often more adventurous and can be more accident prone.

In fact, the younger your pet is when you insure them, the better – insuring a pet without any existing conditions will mean any health issues they then face will be covered by your policy.

🐾 Feeling well doesn't always mean your pet is healthy.
Annual health checks are one of the best ways to detect problems early—often before your pet shows any signs of illness.

During a routine examination we can check:
❤️ Heart health
⚖️ Weight and body condition
🦷 Teeth and gums
👂 Eyes and ears
🐕 Mobility and joints

Preventative healthcare helps keep pets healthier and happier for longer.

📅 Is your pet due their annual check-up?

📞 Contact our friendly Hinckley team today to book an appointment—we're always happy to help.

⚖️ Did you know that even a small amount of extra weight can have a big impact on your pet's health? Keeping your pet at a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems, while improving their quality of life. ❤️

Simple ways to help keep your pet fit include:
🥣 Measuring their food accurately
🚶 Daily exercise that's appropriate for their age and breed
🦴 Choosing healthy treats and feeding them in moderation
📏 Regular weight checks with your veterinary team

If you're unsure whether your pet is at their ideal weight, we're here to help with friendly advice and personalised support—no judgement, just care. 💙

Due to the extreme temperatures, if you have a routine appointment booked for today, where you cannot bring your pet straight to the practice in an air-conditioned vehicle, please rearrange the appointment for when it is a cooler temperature.

⚠️ Please DO NOT walk your dogs/cats down to the practice in these high temperatures ⚠️

If your pet is booked for a routine appointment, please rearrange unless you are travelling in an air conditioned vehicle travelling directly to the practice.

Heatstroke is a life threatening emergency and can happen very quickly especially in the high temperatures we have been having recently.

Dogs and cats with short snouts, overweight, dark fur, elderly and kittens/puppies are more susceptible but all are at risk with these temperatures.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS IN A HOT CAR. Take them straight home after their appointment.

🐾 Is your pet trying to tell you something? Our pets are experts at hiding pain, so it's not always obvious when something isn't right. Here are five signs to watch for:

🐾 Sleeping more than usual
🐾 Reluctance to jump, climb stairs or play
🐾 Changes in appetite or drinking habits
🐾 Excessive licking of one area
🐾 Becoming quieter, grumpy or hiding away

If you've noticed any of these changes, it's always worth having your pet checked by our veterinary team. Early diagnosis can make a real difference to their comfort and wellbeing.

❤️ 📞 If you're concerned about your pet, give us a call on 01455 610227 to book an appointment.

🐾❤️Our pets give us so much more than companionship—they fill our homes with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. When the time comes to say goodbye, the loss can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to grieve.

We know that every goodbye is different, and there is no timeline for healing. Whether you've recently lost a beloved companion or are still missing a pet from years ago, your feelings are valid, and you don't have to go through them alone.

If you feel you could benefit from a little extra support, these wonderful organisations are here to help:

💙 𝐀𝐏𝐁 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 offer compassionate pet bereavement counselling, providing a safe space to talk through your grief with experienced professionals. https://apbcounsellors.co.uk/

💙 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 offer a caring community, helpful resources, and understanding from people who truly appreciate the bond we share with our pets.
https://www.dignipets.co.uk/dignipets-pet-loss-support-network/

Please remember to be gentle with yourself. Grief is a reflection of love, and it's okay to ask for support when you need it.
