☀️ Extreme Heat Warning – Keep Your Pets Safe 🐾☀️

With this heatwave, we kindly advise keeping walks to a minimum. Puzzle feeders and stimulation toys are a lovely way to keep your pet entertained without the exertion of a walk 🐾
No walk is worth the risk on hot days, even shaded areas can be too hot. ☀️ keeping your dog cool at home really could save their life.

⚠️ Please watch for signs of heatstroke, including:
- Excessive panting or drooling
- Lethargy or restlessness
- Vomiting or collapse

If you’re concerned your pet may be overheating, move them somewhere cool and contact the Market Weighton Hospital on 01430 873219 as soon as possible.

Heatstroke can develop quickly and needs urgent attention.

📅 We understand the heat can make travel uncomfortable for pets — if you would like to move any routine appointments this week, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to help.

What a fantastic day at the Driffield Show! 🌟🐾

We had such a great time attending this year's Driffield Show and loved meeting so many friendly faces throughout the day. It was wonderful to chat with our clients, meet new people, and be part of such a brilliant community event 🩵.

One of the highlights for our team was meeting so many lovely dogs! 🐶 From tiny pups to gentle giants, we enjoyed plenty of tail wags, cuddles, and adorable canine visitors at our stand.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all, and we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support.

We can't wait to do it all again next year! 💙

🐾 Happy Reunion Story! 🐾

The lovely Max was recently brought to us after being found wandering, and thanks to his microchip, we were able to quickly trace their owner and arrange a happy reunion after his two week adventure. 🏡🐱

It is always heartwarming to see pets safely returned to their families, and this is a perfect reminder of just how important microchipping is. A simple chip can make all the difference when a beloved pet goes missing.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in helping this feline friend get back where they belong. 🥰

National Ice Cream Day Competition – Doggy Edition! 🐾🍦

Happy National Ice Cream Day!🍦

Today, humans across the country will be enjoying a well-earned ice cream... and dogs everywhere will be deploying their most powerful weapon:

👀 The Look.

Before you give in, remember that not all human ice cream is suitable for dogs. Many dogs don’t digest dairy very well, and some ice creams can contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs, including chocolate, raisins and xylitol.

The good news? Dogs can still join in with the summer fun!
Dog-safe frozen treats can include:
🐶 Doggy Ice Cream Menu:
🍌 Frozen banana “ice cream”
🎃 Pumpkin purée pupsicles
🥜 Xylitol-free peanut butter treats
🧊 Or, for the refined minimalist… one gourmet ice cube

As always, treats should be given in moderation. Not, according to most dogs… “every six minutes.”

📸 Competition time! To celebrate National Ice Cream Day, we’d love to see your pets keeping cool or enjoying a dog-safe frozen treat .

For your chance to win a free-of-charge session with one of our RVNs to discuss your pet’s nutrition and weight management, simply:

✅ Like this post
✅ Share this post
✅ Comment below with a photo of your pet keeping cool or enjoying a dog-safe frozen treat

We can’t wait to see those summer smiles, pupsicle moustaches and dramatic “where’s mine?” faces! 🐾
