☀️ Temperatures expected to exceed 28C ☀️

Further below are some essential tips to help your furry companions stay cool, safe, and happy during the warmer weather:

⭐ A polite reminder that we are closed today for the bank holiday and will reopen tomorrow as normal. For emergencies only please call our phoneline on 01661 679010 ⭐

💙Always provide fresh, cool water — dehydration can happen quickly, especially in hot weather.
�💙 Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day (typically 11am–3pm). Early mornings or evenings are much safer and more comfortable for your dog’s paws and overall health.
�💙 Cooling mats and paddling pools are great for relaxing and beating the heat.
�💙 Use pet-safe suncream on exposed areas like ears — did you know pets can get sunburn too!

💙 Offer ice treats or frozen toys — a tasty and fun way to cool down!

Meet Buddy 🐾

He was such a friendly happy boy, he had lots of fuss before he headed home after his laparoscopic cryptorchid castration surgery this week!

Did you know laparoscopic (also known as keyhole) surgery is a minimally invasive technique used not just for spaying, but for a range of abdominal procedures? It means smaller wounds, fewer risks of complications, and a quicker recovery time.

This is just one of the ways we aim to reduce discomfort, support faster healing, and send more waggy tails home 💙

Meet Skye 💙

Just a couple of months old and already an absolute superstar for her vaccines — what a brave girl! 🐾

Did you know our River Pet Health Club includes regular flea and worm checks for puppies? It’s an easy way to stay on top of parasite protection while also giving you the chance to have routine check-ins with our nurses. From diet and weight to behaviour and general wellbeing, we’re happy to help!
