This weekend is set to be a scorcher, well, it already is!! ☀️ Be sensible when caring for your pets and know the signs of heat stroke.

The current advice is “wet then get to the vet”. Heat stroke is a true emergency and can quickly be fatal without intensive treatment. If your pet is showing signs of heat stroke, immediately begin active cooling with cool water and then get them to the vets!

❄️ Cold Weather & Your Pets – A Winter Reminder

With the colder weather we’ve been experiencing, it’s a good time to remember that low temperatures can pose real risks for our pets.

❄️ Increased risk of hypothermia, especially in puppies, kittens, elderly pets, and those with underlying health conditions
❄️ Slippery pavements and icy ground can lead to injuries
❄️ Cold, damp conditions may worsen arthritis and joint pain
❄️ Outdoor animals may need extra shelter, warmth, and fresh (unfrozen) water
❄️ Pets eating or licking grit and salt can suffer from salt poisoning and grit can damage the paws

Please keep walks shorter during very cold spells, dry pets thoroughly after being outside, and ensure they have a warm, draught-free place to rest indoors.

If you’re ever unsure whether the weather is safe for your pet — or if you’re concerned about their wellbeing — our team is always happy to advise. 🐾💚

Stay warm and safe this winter,
Catmose Vets

Happy New Year Everyone! 🐶🐾🥰

Sometimes the most meaningful comfort in life comes from the quiet presence of a dog. They show up in our hardest moments, lift our spirits when we don't even ask, and love us in a way that feels almost otherworldly. It's no wonder so many people say dogs feel like gifts we never earned but always needed.

Their loyalty, kindness, and pure hearts remind us what real love looks like. They don't judge, they don't hold grudges, and they never stop believing in the people they adore. If you've ever been greeted by a wagging tail after a long day, you know what true joy feels like.

Maybe that's why it’s easy to believe they're a little more special than the world gives them credit for. Not because of any halo or wings, but because of the way they touch our lives so deeply that we’re forever changed.
