We’re expecting some hot weather this week. If it feels warm to you, it’s even hotter for your dog.

Skipping a walk is always the safer choice when it’s too hot. No dog has ever been harmed by missing one, but heatstroke can be deadly.

Happy World Veterinary Day! 🐾

This year’s theme is ‘Animal Health Takes a Team’, so to celebrate we’re kicking off our new series of posts all about our team - A to Z of Towerwood Vets! This is all about what we do and what makes us different ❤️

We value the contributions of each and every one of our team who are caring for pets day in and day out. So let’s see what day 1 holds…

A is for Acupuncture 🤩

Acupuncture is a therapy provided by placing tiny needles at specific points on the body. This helps to relieve pain, as well as support for chronic conditions.

This is something we regularly offer alongside conventional treatments so that our patients can have the best of conventional and complementary 🐾

⚠️ Tick season is here – time to check your dog. Ticks love to hide in warm, hard-to-spot places. After every walk, give your dog a once-over, and pay extra attention to their ears, armpits, and between their toes.

Or keep pests at bay without the hassle with Pet Health Club. Our members enjoy year-round flea, worm, and tick treatment, so join today.

⚠️ Contagious cough (also known as Kennel cough) is widespread, distressing and highly contagious ⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated dogs, caught from anywhere other dogs explore; the park, daycare, training classes, shared water bowls outside shops...

Yearly vaccination throughout life is the best way to protect your dog and reduce the spread. Check with your vet today if your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.

Don’t delay! Book your dog in for their vaccination by visiting our website.

🐰 Happy Easter from all of us at Towerwood Vets 🐰

Chocolate, cooked bones, hot cross buns, and sugar-free sweets might be Easter favourites, but they can be toxic to dogs.

Keep your dog safe – and avoid an emergency trip to the vet – by keeping these foods well out of reach this Easter.

Meet Charlie!

He’s been in this week because he helped himself to his human sibling’s raisins! 😮

Just like dogs, raisins and grapes are toxic for cats! Thankfully his owners brought him straight down so we could make him sick. He’ll have to go home with some activated charcoal as well to make sure there’s nothing else in his system.

Make sure to keep your pets away from raisins, and this time of year also keep them away from hot cross buns! 🍇

Did you know even a small amount of raisins (or grapes) can be dangerous for dogs?

They can cause kidney failure, so it’s important to act fast if your dog eats any.

🚨 What to do if your dog eats raisins or grapes:

✔️Call your vet immediately. Don’t wait for symptoms
✔️If you can, tell them how much they’ve eaten

Signs of raisin poisoning include vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Even if your dog seems fine, seek
veterinary advice.
