Is it just old age, or something more? 💙

Changes in your pet’s behaviour, mobility, appetite or thirst can sometimes be signs of an underlying health problem.

This Senior Pet Awareness Month, learn what to look out for and remember, if something doesn't seem quite right, speak to your vet.

Early detection can make a real difference to your pet's quality of life. 🐶🐱

Happy Halloween!

Remember to keep sweets, decorations and costumes safely out of paws’ reach, and give your pets a quiet, safe space if the celebrations get a little spooky.

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃💙

With the clocks going back and the evenings being darker and darker, autumn is upon us.
Autumn and dark nights means lots of firework displays happening.

These may be fun for us humans but for our furry friends they can be really scary.

Dogs Trust offer lots of great advice to help our canine companions, as well as a sound blanket you can play to help mask the sounds of fireworks.

Please come and talk to the team about options to help keep your pets safe & cope this time of year.

Fireworks can be distressing for dogs. Discover our Sound Blanket, a collection of sounds that masks firework noise.
