📣 Calling all clients - our vet practice is taking part in The Animal Medicines Amnesty and we need your support!

Everyone has a role to both use and dispose of veterinary medicines responsibly to protect pet and human wellbeing, and the health of the environment.

That’s why we are taking part in The Animal Medicines Amnesty to make sure unused medicines are disposed of safely.

Getting involved is easy:
🐾Check to see if you have any out-of-date or unused pet medications at home, and simply return them to your veterinary practice for safe disposal.

Pet medicines should never be disposed of in household waste as this can contaminate
the environment. They shouldn’t be kept for future use on pets either as this can result
in dangerous side effects.

Tonight is fireworks night 🎆
If you are lighting a bonfire today, please follow the advice below to help protect hedgehogs and other wildlife

🦔 Please build any bonfires as late as possible. Ideally they should be light the same day as built.
🦔 If you are unable to build your bonfire on the day, please move your bonfire a few meters before lighting. This will disturb any wildlife that may have moved in.
🦔 Please check your bonfire before lighting, this can be done with broom handles and some torches.
🦔Light your bonfire from one side (rather than the middle) to allow any animals to escape.

Bonfires also pose a risk to any curious cats and dogs. Please keep them indoors if you are lighting a bonfire at home 🐾

🎇🎆Fireworks safety tips 🎆🎇

Fireworks night is tomorrow 😱 are you ready?
Here’s some tips on how to keep your pet safe.

🦮Walk your dog earlier in the day, before it gets dark. Keep them on their lead incase fireworks are set off early and make sure their microchip is up to date.

🏠Keep doors, windows and curtains closed. This will reduce some outside noise. Turning on your tv or radio may help to distract your pets.

💊Your pet may benefit from some calming therapeutic medication. We have various calming products available for purchase at different strengths. Please be aware that some products will require a consultation before dispensing.

🛏Provide your pet with a safe place to hide.

🐰🐇If you have outdoor pets, please consider covering their hutch or shed to reduce noise or temporarily moving them inside to an unheated room (temperatures should remain similar to that of the hutch/shed outside)🐇🐰

If your pets require any calming treatments please call us on 01554 772097. Thank you 🎆

Your dog slowing down, or could there be something more going on?

Less enthusiasm for walks, stiffness after resting or changes in behaviour aren't always just signs of ageing. They could be signs your dog is living with chronic pain.

The good news? Recognising the signs early can help you get them the support they need to stay comfortable and active.

Use our online pain checker to help spot the signs and find out when to speak to your vet: https://ivc.co.uk/services/pain-management

The ghosts have visited us!! Thankful they didn’t get up to too much mischief 👻👻

We hope everyone has a fa-boo-lous Halloween! 🎃

🎃 Halloween safety tips for your pets 🎃

With our pet safety tips Halloween won’t
just be spooky, but pet-friendly too 👻🎃

🎃 Some pets enjoy wearing jumpers and costumes but don’t force your pet to dress up. It may distress them.

💀Keep sweets and chocolates out of reach from your pets. Chocolate and Xylitol (a common sugar-free ingredient) are both toxic to your pets.

👻Does your pet get nervous or stressed?
Try calming your pet using therapeutic products, provide a place where your pet can safely hide and keep your cat inside (if they are happy to be kept indoors).
We have various calming products available at all our branches to purchase at different strengths. Please be aware that some products require a vet consultation before dispensing.

🎃Ideally walk your dog before it gets dark. If you are unable to do this, put reflective gear or light up accessories on your dog to help keep them visible.

💀 When answering your door to trick or treats please keep your pets away. Your pet may become overwhelmed and scared at seeing unfamiliar people in costumes.

If you have any concerns over the Halloween period please call us on:
📞 Llanelli: 01554 772097
📞 Burry Port: 01554 830003
