Sometimes the biggest lessons in life come on four legs, with fur and whiskers.

Maybe your pet helped you through a tough time, made you more active, more social, or taught you how to be present in the moment.

🐢 If you own a tortoise, did you know that they can suffer from hypocalcaemia?

This is a calcium deficiency that can cause:

🦴 Weak bones

💤 Lethargy

🐢 Soft shells

Causes can include a lack of UV light or poor levels of Vitamin D3 in their diet. The best way to prevent hypocalcaemia is to offer cuttlefish bone, rich leafy greens and UV light exposure.

If you have any questions, leave a comment below - we’re happy to help.

Cushing’s disease is usually diagnosed in middle-aged to older dogs, so the diagnostic signs might be mistakenly attributed to old age. 🐶

Clinical signs include

🐾 Drinking more water and urinating more than usual

🐾 Eating more

🐾 Panting

🐾 Hair loss and other dermatological signs

🐾 Being lethargic (less active)

This condition is caused by long-term exposure to excessive amounts of glucocorticoids, which are produced by the body and can be elevated due to a problem in the pituitary or adrenal glands. They can also be administered to treat certain conditions, which is why close monitoring is always needed for chronic problems.

Cushing’s disease can often be treated, and improving your dog’s life is possible.

If you spot these signs in your dog, don’t hesitate to book an appointment with us!

Your feathered friend deserves the best, and a healthy diet for parrots doesn’t just mean seeds. Fresh fruits, veggies and a complete pellet food are a must! 🥕🥦🥬🫑🌽🌶️🍒🫐🍓🍊🍇🍍

There are some foods to avoid, such as chocolate, avocado and onions, as these foods are toxic. To keep your parrots engaged, rotate foods frequently - this also helps to provide key vitamins and minerals across different food types.

Did you know the adder (Vipera berus berus) is the only venomous snake native to the UK? 🤔

Adders are a protected species and are usually not aggressive, only biting when they feel threatened. They are most commonly found in areas such as dry, sandy heaths, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, moorlands and woodland edges, although they can appear elsewhere, too.

Pets are often bitten on the leg, head or neck, so it is important to stay alert when out walking, especially in areas where adders may live.

If you think your pet may have been bitten, even if you did not see the snake, get in touch with us immediately.

Now that the days are longer and warmer, we all want to get outside and enjoy some adventures with our dogs. But it’s important to be mindful that hot weather can be dangerous for dogs.
Here are our top tips for keeping dogs safe in hot weather:
😎 Provide shade and fresh water
😎 Know the signs of heat stroke and cooling first aid
😎 Use pet-safe sun cream on areas such as the tip of the ears and nose
😎 Mornings and evenings are best for outdoor adventures
😎 Remember the 5-second rule (place your hand on the ground for 5 seconds, and if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog)

Budgies are naturally social, curious flock birds. 🐦

They use sounds to bond and feel secure, so try gentle and frequent talking, provide lots of safe toys and rotate them to avoid boredom, and aim for multiple short sessions (5-10 minutes) of daily interaction.
