"🐾 September is National Pet Insurance Month! 🐾
✨ Claim your 5 weeks’ FREE pet insurance with Vetsure!

We never want money to be an issue should your pet require treatment but there is also no doubt that the provision of high-quality veterinary care can be costly. We hope your pet stays in good health but, ask yourself, could you afford an unexpected veterinary bill of £2000? In the absence of a Pet National Health Service, lifelong pet insurance may offer the best solution for pet owners.

✔️ We're a Vetsure-accredited group. As an accredited group, we benefit from active communication channels with the Vetsure team. This means that we can obtain pre-authorisation prior to starting treatment and can help make the claim process as easy as possible.

👉 The Pet Vet customers can receive 5 weeks FREE pet insurance.

Simply choose the cover level that suits you and enjoy the first 5 weeks free. If you’re happy, your policy continues seamlessly!

📞 Call Vetsure on 0800 050 2022 or visit https://www.vetsure.com/ to find out more.

🐾 September is Animal Pain Awareness Month 🐾

The thought of our much-loved pets being in pain is heartbreaking 💔.
The tricky part? Pets often hide their discomfort.

TW: Pet bereavement

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈🐾 This is a day to honour and remember our cherished pets who have passed away.

The connection we have with our pets is completely unique and for many of us, it's one of the closest relationships we'll form in our lifetime. The loss of a much-loved pet can be truly devastating and any grief you feel afterwards is entirely valid.

In addition to all our supportive colleagues at our surgery who are here to care for you through this difficult time, here are some charities who have trained volunteers on hand to offer bereavement support & additional emotional support. This includes:

❤️ Blue Cross - an animal welfare charity with a wealth of experienced professionals to provide bereavement support. They offer a free confidential helpline and email service. Their helpline is open from 8:30am – 8:30pm, 7 days a week. You can contact them on 0800 096 6606 or alternatively, email [email protected].

❤️ Cat's Protection - their Paws to Listen grief support service offers a free and confidential phone line where you can talk to one of their trained volunteer listeners. You can access the helpline on 0800 024 94 94 and it’s open 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday - excluding Bank Holidays.

❤️ Samaritans - you can speak to the Samaritans for free, at any time, from any phone, on 116 123.

❤️ Shout - Text SHOUT to 85258 to receive free, confidential help and support 24/7.

Be on the lookout for blue-green algae! ⚠️

Blue-green algae is highly poisonous, and can even be toxic to dogs. But what exactly is blue-green algae, what does it look like, and when & where are you most likely to come across it?

Blue-green algae is a term used to describe a group of bacteria, called cyanobacteria. It's most commonly found in non-flowing, fresh water such as lakes, ponds and rivers.

Hot weather can cause it to grow rapidly, and you may see this as a 'bloom' across the surface of the water. Other conditions can trigger it to thrive, so be aware of its presence at other times of the year as well.

Blue-green algae can look like:

- A blue-green scum has appeared on the surface of the water
- Green flakes, greenish bundles or brown dots in a pond, lake or stream
- A green, blue-green or greenish-brown paint on the surface of the water
- Foam around the edges of ponds and lakes

⛔ If in doubt, do NOT let your dog enter the water. ⛔

If your dog has entered water that you suspect may contain blue-green algae, you MUST get them to the vet immediately. Symptoms of poisoning and even fatality can occur within as little as 15 minutes.
