🐰 Colder days are coming… don't forget our smallest pets! 🍂

As we move towards winter, the days become shorter, colder and wetter — and it's time to start thinking about how our outdoor rabbits and guinea pigs will cope as the seasons change. 🐰🐹

🌧️ Check outdoor housing carefully. Hutches and runs should be waterproof, draught-free, raised away from wet ground and protected from wind and driving rain, while still having adequate ventilation.

🧺 Provide plenty of clean, dry bedding and check it regularly. Damp bedding quickly becomes cold bedding.

🌡️ Avoid sudden temperature changes. If you're planning to move outdoor pets into a warmer indoor environment for winter, think ahead rather than repeatedly moving them between very different temperatures.

🐰🐹 And remember — warmth isn't their only need.

Rabbits and guinea pigs are highly social animals and companionship is incredibly important to their wellbeing. Wherever possible they should have appropriate companionship of their own species rather than living alone.

If you do have a single rabbit or guinea pig, the long, dark winter months can make isolation even more noticeable. Moving them into a suitable indoor setup may provide more opportunity for interaction with the family — although human company shouldn't be considered a replacement for an appropriate companion of their own species.

🏠 If bringing pets indoors isn't possible, make a conscious effort to spend plenty of time with them throughout the colder months. Being tucked away at the bottom of the garden shouldn't mean being forgotten.

Now is the perfect time to review their housing, companionship, diet and general health before winter really arrives. 💚

💚🐾 Practice Manager Appreciation Week – The People Behind the Practice 🐾💚

When you visit Vets for Pets Cleveland Park, you see our wonderful team caring for your pets. But what you don't always see is the enormous amount of work happening behind the scenes to make that possible!

As practice owners, we're incredibly proud of the care we provide. But we also know that running a veterinary practice involves far more than treating animals.

Rotas, staffing, stock, equipment, finances, training, regulations, unexpected problems… the list is seemingly endless! 📋☕

As vets, our passion is caring for animals, and being able to focus on our patients while also leading the practice means having people around us whom we can trust completely.

We're incredibly fortunate to have that support.

Our Practice Manager, Head Receptionist and Head Nurse work together to keep everything moving, often dealing with challenges before we even know they've happened!

It's not always glamorous, it's rarely straightforward, and much of their hard work goes unnoticed by the outside world.

But we notice. And we appreciate it more than we probably say. ❤️

Because exceptional veterinary care doesn't begin and end in the consulting room. It takes a whole team of dedicated people working together, supporting one another and making sure everything runs as it should.

So this Practice Manager Appreciation Week, we want to recognise the people whose hard work makes it possible for us to do what we love.

Thank you for everything you do. 💚

❤️🌺 Remembrance Sunday – We Will Remember Them 🌺❤️

Today, we pause to honour the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their courage helped shape the freedoms and lives we know today. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid.

But alongside the countless human lives lost, we also want to remember some of the often-forgotten heroes of war. Those who served without understanding the conflict, without a voice and without a choice. 🐾💜

🐴 The horses who endured unimaginable conditions, carrying soldiers, supplies and artillery through mud, gunfire and the horrors of the trenches.

🐕 The military dogs who worked fearlessly alongside their handlers, detecting danger, carrying messages, locating the wounded and providing companionship in the darkest of times.

🕊️ The remarkable messenger pigeons who flew through enemy fire and treacherous conditions to deliver vital intelligence when other communication was impossible. Their extraordinary journeys helped save countless human lives.

And the mules, donkeys and countless other animals whose service and suffering should never be forgotten.

These animals did not understand borders, politics or war. They did not volunteer, yet they served with unwavering loyalty and paid the ultimate price alongside the people who depended upon them.

As veterinary professionals and animal lovers, we believe their sacrifice deserves recognition, compassion and remembrance too. 💜

Today, we wear our red poppies for the fallen and remember the purple poppy in honour of the animals who served and suffered.

To every human and animal life lost in service, we offer our deepest respect and gratitude.

Their courage, suffering and sacrifice must never be forgotten.

❤️ For the fallen.
💜 For the voiceless.
🌺 We will remember them.

🪔✨ Happy Diwali from all of us at Vets for Pets Cleveland Park! ✨🪔

Wishing everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights a wonderful Diwali filled with happiness, love and togetherness! ❤️

As families come together to enjoy the celebrations, we'd also like to spare a thought for our four-legged (and feathered!) friends who might find the festivities a little overwhelming. 🐶🐱🐰🦜

Fireworks can be beautiful for us, but the sudden bangs, flashes and vibrations can be terrifying for animals, including our pets and local wildlife.

A few simple precautions can make a BIG difference! 💚

🐕 Walk dogs before dark and keep them securely on leads. Even normally confident dogs can panic at unexpected noises.

🐈 Keep cats safely indoors after dusk, with access to litter trays, hiding places and familiar comforts.

🐰 Protect rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets from sudden flashes and loud noises. Where appropriate, move outdoor housing somewhere quieter and sheltered, ensuring good ventilation.

🏡 Create a safe, cosy retreat where pets can hide without being disturbed. Close curtains and use the television or gentle music to help mask outside noise.

❤️ Offer reassurance if your pet seeks comfort. You won't reinforce fear by comforting a frightened animal!

🦔 Remember our wildlife too! If you're celebrating with fireworks, consider quieter alternatives and be mindful of the animals living nearby.

Most importantly, never force a frightened pet to join in the celebrations. Let them choose where they feel safest.

🪔 A little consideration goes a long way towards making Diwali a joyful occasion for everyone — including those who don't understand what all the excitement is about!

From our whole team, we wish you a safe, peaceful and very Happy Diwali! ✨❤️

🎆🔥 Happy Bonfire Night from all of us at Vets for Pets Cleveland Park! 🐾💚

We hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful evening! But for many pets, the sudden bangs, flashes and vibrations are genuinely frightening. Let's help them feel safe tonight. ❤️

🐶 DOGS
🐾 Walk before dark and use a secure lead and well-fitting harness. Even confident dogs can bolt when startled.
🏠 Provide a cosy, quiet den with familiar bedding. Let them hide if they want to.
🎵 Close curtains, keep lights on and play gentle music, TV or radio to soften the bangs.
❤️ Offer comfort if they seek it. Reassurance doesn't reinforce fear!

🐱 CATS
🏠 Keep cats indoors before fireworks begin. Secure cat flaps, doors and windows.
🐾 Offer hiding places, including boxes or a quiet room, and leave food, water and litter trays accessible.
🌿 Pheromone diffusers may help some cats feel more settled. Respect their choice to hide or seek affection.

🐰 RABBITS & SMALL FURRIES
⚠️ Sudden bangs can cause extreme fear in prey species, leading to injuries and potentially life-threatening complications.
🏠 Move outdoor pets into a suitable sheltered space if possible, avoiding sudden temperature extremes.
🐹 Keep bonded companions together, with plenty of hay, bedding and safe hiding places.
🥬 Watch appetite and droppings. Rabbits or guinea pigs that stop eating or passing faeces need urgent veterinary attention.

💚 FOR ALL PETS
Check microchip details, keep routines familiar and never force a frightened pet out of hiding. If medication has been prescribed, follow your vet's instructions.

🎆 Fireworks may be a celebration for us, but our pets don't understand them. A little preparation, patience and kindness can make a world of difference.

Have a safe and happy Bonfire Night — and look after all creatures great and small! 🐾💚

🔥🦔 Before You Light That Bonfire… Please Check Who's Living Underneath! 🍂❤️

Bonfire Night is almost here, and while we're looking forward to celebrations, some of our smallest wild neighbours could unknowingly be in danger.

🍁 That pile of dry leaves, branches and logs you've collected for your bonfire? To a hedgehog, it might look like the perfect winter home.

And they're not alone! Frogs, toads, newts, small mammals and countless invertebrates may also be sheltering amongst the debris.

💔 Every year, wildlife can suffer horrific burns and injuries when bonfires are lit without checking for hidden residents.

🔥 PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO SAVE A LIFE!

🦔 Build your bonfire on the day you intend to light it, wherever possible. This gives wildlife less opportunity to move in.

🍂 Already built it? Carefully dismantle and rebuild it in a different location immediately before lighting. Simply poking around with a stick isn't enough to guarantee nobody is hiding inside!

🔦 Check surrounding piles of leaves, logs and vegetation where animals may be sheltering.

🐸 Found wildlife? STOP! Never light a bonfire while an animal may still be inside. Give it space and seek advice from a wildlife rescue if you're unsure what to do.

💚 Respect their home!

Please don't unnecessarily disturb resting or hibernating animals. Wildlife isn't an inconvenience to be moved out of our way.

These animals were here long before our celebrations began. Our gardens, parks and green spaces are their homes too, and they have just as much right to be safe in them.

At Vets for Pets Cleveland Park, we're passionate about protecting our native wildlife and regularly care for creatures who find themselves in trouble.

🦔 One careful check could mean the difference between life and death.

Please share this reminder before Bonfire Night. Together, we can celebrate without putting innocent lives at risk. ❤️🔥

🐱💚 Smoggie's big day! 💚🐱

Meet handsome Smoggie, who joined us last week for his castration! 🥰🐾

This lovely lad was in for a little routine maintenance, and we couldn't resist sharing his gorgeous face!

Did you know castration offers several important benefits for our feline friends?

🐾 Prevents unwanted litters
🐾 Can reduce roaming, fighting and urine spraying
🐾 Reduces the risk of injuries and infections associated with fighting, including FIV
🐾 Eliminates the risk of testicular cancer

Neutering is an important part of responsible cat ownership, helping to keep our feline friends healthier and safer while reducing the number of unwanted kittens.

Well done, Smoggie! We hope you're enjoying plenty of fuss at home! 💚🐱

Thinking about neutering your cat? Our friendly team is always happy to answer questions and help you arrange an appointment.

🎃👻 Halloween is over… but what happens to your pumpkins? 🍂🐾

The costumes are packed away, the sweets have (hopefully!) been eaten and those beautifully carved pumpkins are starting to look a little worse for wear!

But before you throw yours away, did you know that how you dispose of your Halloween pumpkins can affect pets, wildlife and the environment? 🦔🐿️

🎃 Here's how to dispose of them responsibly!

🐾 Keep them away from pets!
Plain, fresh pumpkin flesh is safe for many pets in small amounts, but mouldy or rotting pumpkins can cause serious illness. Never allow pets to eat discarded Halloween pumpkins, particularly if they've contained candles, paint or other decorations.

🦔 Think of our hedgehogs!
You may have heard that leaving pumpkins in the garden is a lovely way to feed wildlife, but this isn't always a good idea!

Pumpkin can cause digestive upset in hedgehogs, and excessive consumption may contribute to diarrhoea and dehydration. At this time of year, our prickly friends need to build up their strength for hibernation, not risk becoming unwell.

🌳 Don't dump them in woodland!
Leaving pumpkins in forests or parks can attract wildlife to unsuitable food, disturb natural habitats and introduce mould or unwanted seeds.

🌱 Compost them instead!
Remove candles, wax, paint and decorations, then chop up untreated pumpkins and add them to your home compost bin. They're a great source of organic material!

♻️ Use your food waste collection!
If you can't compost, check your local council's guidance for disposing of pumpkins through food waste or garden waste collections.

🐦 Want to help wildlife instead?
Offer appropriate bird food, provide fresh water and leave natural shelter for hedgehogs and other garden visitors.

💚 A little thought about where your pumpkin ends up can make a big difference to the animals sharing our gardens.

Let's keep Halloween fun without leaving behind hazards for our pets and wildlife! 🎃🍂

Another one! 🌾👂

Little Roxy came to see us with yet another painful grass seed lodged deep inside her ear.

Because ears are extremely sensitive and grass seeds can be difficult to grasp safely, Roxy needed a little sedation to keep her comfortable and still during the procedure. Our team carefully removed the entire seed in one piece—and the video shows just how large and prickly it was!

Roxy is now feeling much better and recovering at home. 💚

We have treated more grass-seed problems than usual this year, possibly linked to the exceptionally hot, dry summer—and they are still catching pets out well into autumn.

Their sharp, backward-facing barbs allow grass seeds to become trapped in ears or pierce the skin, where they may travel deeper and cause significant pain, swelling and infection.

Please stay vigilant after walks, especially through long or dry grass. Check your dog’s ears, paws, coat, armpits and groin, and contact us if you notice:

👂 Sudden or repeated head shaking
🐾 Persistent licking or limping
🔴 Redness, swelling or discharge
😟 Pain when an ear or paw is touched

Avoid trying to remove anything lodged deeply yourself, as it could break or be pushed further inside.

Well done, brave Roxy! 🐶

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
