✋ Before walking your dog on a hot day, press the back of your hand to the pavement for 5 seconds.

🔥 If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paws.

Nothing ruins a lovely cuddle with your dog more than a big faceful of stinky breath. 🐶

One of the common causes is tooth and gum disease. Find out more about bad breath in dogs at: bit.ly/3ZswTd9

If your dog’s breath has you turning your head, it’s time for a dental check. Early detection of dental problems means fresher breath, a healthier mouth, and more pleasant cuddles with the family!

Until 31 August, dental check-ups are FREE with our Summer Smiles promotion �

Call us today on 01779 472460 to book an appointment.

We all love a day at the seaside with our four-legged friends, but let’s make sure we’re keeping our beaches safe, clean and fun for everyone. 🏖🐶

✅ Pick up after your dog - and dispose of poo bags properly
✅ Be observant of restrictions - not all beaches allow dogs all year round
✅ Keep your dog under control - use a lead in busy areas or near wildlife
✅ Don’t let your dog approach others without checking first - not every dog or person wants to say hello
✅ Watch out for heatstroke - take breaks for shade and fresh water, and stay out of the intense midday sun
✅ Never let your dog drink seawater - small amounts can cause vomiting or diarrhoea and large amounts can have dangerous consequences

Most importantly - have fun and enjoy the sand and surf!🏖

It’s grass seed season! These barbed seeds easily attach to fur and can burrow into the skin, causing pain and infection.

Watch for These Signs:
Ears: Head shaking, scratching, and discomfort may indicate a seed lodged in the ear. These don’t work their way out and may need removal under sedation or anaesthetic.

Eyes: Redness, weeping, pawing, or squinting can signal a seed under the eyelid. Prompt vet attention is needed to prevent damage.

Feet: Lameness, licking, swelling, or oozing between toes could mean a seed has pierced the skin. These can travel up the leg and may cause infections.

Prevention Tips: Avoid areas with long grass during summer. Trim coats, especially around feet, ears, and between toes – particularly important for breeds like spaniels.

After walks, check your dog thoroughly and remove any visible seeds.

Every year on 10th July, kitten lovers around the world celebrate National Kitten Day: a joyful occasion to honour the charm of kittens and spotlight their need for safe, loving homes.

Aside from being irresistibly adorable, owning a kitten comes with many benefits, from relieving stress and improving your mood, to reducing anxiety and depression through their companionship.

Preventing ticks is always better than treating a tick-related illness. Thankfully, there are lots of effective tick prevention options available, including spot on treatments, sprays, and long-lasting collars. These can be used alongside or sometimes instead of your pet’s usual parasite control, depending on the product.

Some treatments repel ticks, while others kill them after they attach. Either way, reducing the time ticks spend on your pet lowers the risk of disease. Even with protection, it’s still a good idea to check your pet for ticks after walks, especially in areas where ticks are more common. If you find one, it’s best to remove it promptly.

Not sure which product is right for your pet? Our vets and nurses are always happy to help you choose the most suitable option. Tick prevention is fully covered as part of The Healthy Pet Club membership.

On World Chocolate Day, it's sensible to keep in mind that chocolate is poisonous to our canine friends.

Try to keep chocolate out of reach of your dog, but if an accident does happen, these are the symptoms you should keep an eye out for.

The poison itself takes between 4 and 24 hours to cause signs which include:

🍫 Muscle stiffness
🍫 Tremors
🍫 Vomiting
🍫 Heart arrhythmias and fitting

If you see your dog has eaten chocolate or spot any of these symptoms, call your vet immediately.

Did you know? High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common and serious problem in older cats. It often has no early warning signs but can cause damage to organs like the eyes, kidneys, heart and brain if left untreated.

The good news? It’s quick and easy to check. Annual screening is recommended for cats over 7 years of age. Find out more about hypertension at: bit.ly/3ZAKsYj

Because early detection is so important, we’ve put together a Senior Cat Health Check package. For £90 your cat will receive:

✅ Senior well pet consultation with a veterinary nurse
✅ Comprehensive blood test, including screening for hyperthyroidism
✅ Urinalysis to check kidney health
✅ Blood pressure check to identify hypertension

Alternatively, a standalone blood pressure check is available for £25.

To take advantage of this offer please call our FRASERBURGH Branch on 📞 01346 510099. We are currently not taking bookings at our Peterhead Branch.
