They can't tell you when it hurts. But we can.

You know your pet best. But their pain isn't always visible - especially in their joints. In fact, they're experts at hiding it.

That's why we're making it easier to spot the signs your pet might be hiding, with a FREE Mobility Pain Check.

For full T&C's please visit our website.

Meet the gorgeous Willow, this week’s superstar at Dogwood Referrals! 💖

Willow had a rare condition called Pes Varus, causing her leg to bend inward, something we occasionally see in dachshunds 🐶.

Working with Fusion Implants, we used custom-made guides to plan and perform surgery that straightened her leg with precision.
She’s now healing brilliantly and already back to her cheeky self! 💪💕

✨ Swipe to see her transformation!

Leave Willow some love in the comments!

⚠️What to do if you spot a dog in a hot car⚠️

🤔Assess the dogs condition.
🚨If they are showing any times of heat stroke, call 999 immediately!
👀 Look around for an owner.
❗️If police have not yet arrived, do not break into the car as this could be classed as criminal damage.

Heat stroke in is a serious condition that can lead to severe health complications, and even death. It occurs when your pet’s body temperature rises above the normal range, typically due to exposure to high environmental temperatures.

Here are some signs to look out for:
🐶 Excessive panting or difficulty breathing (any panting is not normal behaviour in cats)
❤️Increased heart rate
💧Drooling
⚠️Weakness or collapse
‼️Seizures
🤢Vomiting or diarrhea
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to act quickly.

Here's what you can do:
⛱Move your pet to a cooler area immediately.
💦 Offer fresh, cool water, but don't force them to drink.
🧊Cool them down with wet towels, especially around the head and neck, and on the underbelly.
📞Call your vet as soon as possible.

Remember, heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, seek veterinary attention immediately.
