⭐️⭐️BRAND NEW SERVICE BY SILLYPETS SERVICES & ADVENTURES WITH ALIX ⭐️⭐️

We are teaming up to provide you with a brand new opportunity never seen before. We are asked on a weekly basis what age we can start taking puppies out with the big dogs on walks, and as much as we would love them to come at 8 weeks, it’s not safe nor healthy for pups to be out for an hour or being over exposed to large groups of dogs for long periods of time.

At this vital age they need guidance on how to live in a human world and we have the secret recipe to success. With years of experience and qualifications to match your pups are in safe hands with us.

Get in touch for more information! We are so excited to help the puppies in the community become the best adults they can be

Some good advice from our colleagues at Kidd Vets 🩷

Due to a temporary change in the SSPCA triage of sick and injured wildlife we are aware that members of the public are transporting sick and injured wildlife directly to local vet practices.

Please see the following advice from the SSPCA for public handling of wildlife:

- DO NOT attempt to contain or transport any seabird (e.g seagull), waterfowl (e.g duck) or any form of raptor due to a risk of Avian Flu. The SSPCA should be contacted directly to triage these birds. They should not be brought to the vet practice due to the risk of spreading this notifiable disease.
- Do not interfere with or contain any wild animals which do NOT have “obvious injuries, bleeding or broken bones”, the SSPCA advise to watch from afar and contact them for advice.
- If you are unsure of bird species or cannot contain or transport the animal, the SSPCA should be contacted and will attend.

Reminder to clients
- Wild animals can be dangerous and can pose a risk of both disease and injury to people. Even though you’re trying to help, getting too close can result in injury to yourself and cause further distress for the animal.
- Fledglings are out at this time of year and their best chance at survival is to be left alone close to their mum.
- The SSPCA can still be contacted in these situations above to either attend or provide advice.
- The SSPCA still have National Wildlife Rescue Centres available for rehabilitation with a team of wildlife experts.
- Unfortunately most vet practices do not have appropriate equipment to provide suitable conditions for wildlife.
Please call the SSPCA Helpline on 03000 999 999 for more information or advice.

Good old BT strike again 😫, when you dial 01241 854772 or 01241 875789 it says the number has been disconnected (we’ve paid the bill, honest). Whilst we endeavour to get this sorted please call Montrose on 01674 672358. Thank you.
