…Unfortunately, that last little character can bring something rather less charming into the equation: lungworm 🐌

Dogs can become infected by swallowing infected slugs and snails, and because small ones and their ‘snail trails’ can find their way onto grass, toys and outdoor water bowls, your dog doesn’t have to be an enthusiastic slug-eater to be exposed to their larvae.

Lungworm can cause anything from coughing and low energy to digestive problems and unusual bleeding, and in some dogs they can become seriously unwell.

Which is why we’re much bigger fans of preventing parasites than meeting them later.

With The Wolfe Pack, preventative healthcare becomes part of the routine. Your pet’s parasite protection is planned around them, and organised for you.

A very special reunion...

Lovely Honey came in for her recheck last week and got to meet a very special friend - her blood donor, Gin! 🩸

After spending a week in hospital battling a nasty bout of bloody diarrhoea, we’re delighted to report that Honey has made a full recovery and is now doing brilliantly back at home!

During her stay, Honey made herself right at home and thoroughly enjoyed watching her favourite TV show from the comfort of her hospital bed! 📺🐶

We’re so happy to see you doing so well, Honey, and a huge thank you to the wonderful Gin for being a superstar 🌟

🦏🌍 An update from Dr Dulcie's wildlife conservation work in South Africa!

Dr Dulcie has been working alongside renowned wildlife vet and conservationist Dr Will Fowlds in South Africa's Eastern Cape, helping protect the region's incredible wildlife.

🌿 Protecting wildlife and restoring habitats

Beyond veterinary care, Dr Fowlds works with conservation teams to rewild depleted land and connect game reserves and protected areas through wildlife corridors.

Giving animals more space to roam helps biodiversity thrive and reduces pressures from roads and fragmented habitats. It's inspiring progress for this important biodiversity hotspot!

🩺 Dr Dulcie's veterinary work

Dr Dulcie has been gaining valuable experience in vital wildlife veterinary procedures, including:

🩺 Emergency treatment: Caring for injured wildlife, often harmed by human activity.

🦏 Anti-poaching protection: Collaring, tagging and sometimes dehorning rhinos to help protect them from poaching.

🐘 Wildlife relocations: Moving animals to support genetic diversity and reduce pressure on vulnerable habitats.

🔬Vital research: Collecting blood, hair, dung and tick samples during procedures to support ongoing university research.

Sadly, rhino poaching remains a serious threat. Anti-poaching units, trained dogs, drones and tracking technology all play a part, alongside wildlife vets who help prevent poaching and respond to its devastating aftermath.

Their work helps protect not just individual animals, but entire populations and their future in the wild.

💚 We're incredibly proud of Dr Dulcie for contributing to such important conservation efforts and helping protect wildlife for future generations.

We're delighted to share a glimpse of her incredible experience with you! 🐾

Happy National Black Cat Day!

Today is all about celebrating those gorgeous monochrome moggies who bring so much personality, mischief and love into our lives.

Do you have a black cat or black-and-white cat at home?

👇Share a photo of your beautiful black moggie and be sure to tag us and share their most mischievous habit!

Let’s see how many fabulous black cats are part of our practice family! 🖤🐈‍⬛

And remember, as the nights draw in, outdoor cats can be harder for drivers to see. If your cat goes outside, take extra care around roads and consider bringing them indoors before it gets dark.

Black cats: 10/10 for looks, 11/10 for personality.

A very special story - and a very good girl called Gin 🐶❤️

We’re so proud to have Dr Paige as part of our ECC team at Wolfe Vets. A recent article shares an incredible emergency case from her time at Vets Now, where she and her colleagues helped save a very poorly cat called Rolo.

With no cat blood available at the time, Paige’s own dog, Gin, became Rolo’s donor. Thanks to the care and quick thinking of the team, Rolo made it through and was able to go home. What a remarkable tale of teamwork - with Gin playing a rather special part! 🐱

It was an unusual emergency option, with risks, and one that needs careful veterinary assessment. You can read the full story via the link below:

Arthritis is one of the most common causes of pain and reduced mobility in our pets, but changes in movement don’t have to be accepted as simply “getting older”.

At Wolfe Vets, we take an individual approach to diagnosing and managing arthritis. Depending on your pet’s condition, treatment may include:

💊 Pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication to help control pain and inflammation.

🏃 Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to support strength, mobility and rehabilitation.

💉 Intra-articular treatments, which are targeted treatments delivered directly into affected joints where appropriate.

🌱 Regenerative medicine, including stem cell therapy and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP uses a concentration of naturally occurring healing components and has anti-inflammatory properties, while stem cell therapy aims to support the body’s natural repair processes.

🦴 Orthopaedic surgery may also be considered for some conditions where surgical treatment is the most appropriate option.

🔦 Therapeutic laser
Laser therapy can be used as part of a rehabilitation and pain-management programme, helping to reduce pain and inflammation and support tissue healing.

The right treatment isn’t the same for every pet. That’s why our extended lameness and arthritis consultations allow our vets time to take a detailed history, assess your pet’s gait and perform a thorough orthopaedic examination before discussing the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment options.

If you’ve noticed your pet slowing down, becoming less active or struggling with movements they once found easy, don’t assume it’s just old age.
They may be telling you they’re in pain.

Less worrying. More living 🐾

Being a pet parent means plenty of “is this normal?” moments.

A strange lump. A change in appetite. A funny little cough. Or that classic 11pm Google search that provides a worrying and often inaccurate diagnosis.

That’s why unlimited consultations are included in the Wolfe Pack!

📧https://wolfevets.co.uk/wolfe-pack/

Because sometimes you don’t need to wait and wonder. You can speak to a vet, ask the question, get some reassurance, and know what to do next - without worrying about the cost of every conversation.

It means more support for you, and more opportunities to catch small concerns before they become bigger ones.

Unlimited consultations. Unlimited questions. One less thing to worry about.

That’s the Wolfe Pack 🐺❤️
