We would like to remind you to try and keep your black cats in overnight around the days of Halloween* 🎃

It is known that black cats are often targeted this time of year 😔 so keep them in and keep them safe 🖤

🖤🐈🖤🐈🖤🐈🖤🐈🖤

*With many fireworks going off already, we urge you to consider keeping ALL cats indoors overnight where possible (not just black ones!)

🍫🎃 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀! 🎃🍫

Along with Easter and Christmas, we often see a SIGNIFICANT rise in chocolate ingestion cases at Halloween 🍫

This Halloween (and every other time of the year!), please keep your chocolates and goodies out of reach of your pets, and seek immediate veterinary advice if your pet has ingested ANY amount of chocolate - A large amount of chocolate for a very small dog may be quite serious ⚠️

Even sweets that aren't chocolate can be toxic due to Xylitol being a common ingredient! And sweetie wrappers and toys can cause problems too if they are eaten! ⚠️

❗ If your pet has eaten something they shouldn't have done, please seek veterinary attention ❗

See further information on the website below!

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

Some pets love a bit of fun and a dress up, for others it can be very stressful! So please don't force outfits on them (no matter how cute they look!).

For the pets who do enjoy dressing up, we'd love to see a photo! 📸 Even if it's just a pair of devil horns! 😈

🎆 𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩! 🎆

✨ Here's our checklist at just shy of 1 week to go! ✨

So by now hopefully you have
✅ prepared a crate or hiding place for your pet.
✅ got a cover ready for any hutches kept outside/ Made space for bunnies etc indoors.
✅ started pheromone diffusers (Adaptil for dogs and Feliway for cats)
✅ encouraged outdoor cats to stay indoors overnight (if possible).
✅️ ordered medication for your pets (if necessary).

You can now
✅ start using any other calming products such as Vets4Pets stress relief capsules or liquid, or Pet Remedy.
✅ make sure your pets are comfortable in their safe place.
✅ start walking your dog earlier so they get used to a temporary new routine before Bonfire Night.
✅ check where and when firework displays are being held in your local area. Also ask your neighbours to let you know if they are planning anything.
✅ make sure your contact details are up to date on your pets microchip database - just incase they do manage to escape! (Dogs over 8 weeks old and cats over 20 weeks old should be chipped and details up to date by law anyway!)

🖤🐾 Black Cat Day 🐾🖤 - YESTERDAY!! HOW DID WE MISS IT!? 😮

Black cats are wonderful and we can't miss this opportunity to say how amazing they are, so here we go - you get the post 1 day late! Oops! 🖤

Black cats (AKA miniature house panthers!) are beautiful! 😍 And although it hasn't been proven, it is thought that black cats are among the most affectionate! 🖤

Whilst we love these little panthers, rescue statistics state that they are often overlooked for a number of reasons:
🐾 The stigma that black cats bring bad luck
🐾 Black cats are not as ‘pretty’ as other cats
🐾 Black cats are harder to see (photographs of dark coloured animals are much harder to see. People are often looking for a face to fall in love with and instantly connect with, and the animal doesn’t stand out in a crowd, they just get overlooked.)
🐾 Black cats aren't as photogenic and don't "selfie" as well

We think this 👆 is a load of rubbish! Black cats are incredibly pretty and they can be super photogenic! And we all know there's no such thing as bad luck 😅🤞

So this , please show your love and appreciation for the miniature house panther, and flood our comments with your best kitty photos 📸🖤

The photo below is Sherlock, who belongs to one of our nurses. We think he is VERY photogenic 😍 (he is also very shouty and very needy! - another common black cat trait!) 🐈‍⬛️

We have had a young white and brown rabbit handed in to us yesterday afternoon as a stray. Found near to Warrener Grove in Top Valley NG5. We believe her to be female, but can't be 100% sure due to her age.

If you are missing a young bun, please get in contact with us. For now, she is safe with one of the nurses ❤️

Proof of ownership will be required.

🐾 Did you know that more dogs go missing on Bonfire Night than any other night, due to being scared and bolting from fireworks! 🎆

Please make sure that your dog is wearing a collar with up to date contact details on their tag, and make sure that your contact details are also up to date on your pets microchip database, just in case they do manage to escape (also a legal requirement!).

⚠️ Please do not walk your dogs in the evenings on the run-up to Bonfire Night. It just isn't worth it.

Fingers (and paws!) crossed your pets will cope alright with it all 🤞

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."
