☀️ Summer of Smiles: Before & After Transformation! 🐶🐱✨
​It’s amazing what a difference a professional dental clean can make!

🐾Meet Mabel! 🐾
​This absolute beauty came in with us for her spay procedure, and she was such a star! 🌟
​Spaying your female cat is one of the best decisions you can make for her health and happiness. Here is why we recommend it:
💙 Prevents Pyometra & Infections: Eliminates the risk of pyometra, a severe, life-threatening uterine infection.
💙 Reduces Cancer Risks: Greatly reduces the risk of mammary gland tumours and ovarian issues.
💙 No Unplanned Litters: Prevents accidental kitten pregnancies (female cats can get pregnant as young as 4 months old!).
💙 Calmer, Happier Cats: Stops the stress of going into heat, which means no vocal "calling," restless roaming, or unwanted spraying.
​Sending Mabel home with lots of love for a speedy recovery! 💙🐾
​If you have any questions about booking your cat in for a spay, Give our team a call today! 📞

☀️As temperatures rise, the team at River Veterinary Care want to make sure all our furry friends stay safe, comfortable, and hydrated! 🐾🌡️
​Here are a few quick tips to protect your pets during warm weather:
• ​🐶 Time Walks Wisely: Avoid walking dogs during the hottest parts of the day. Early mornings and late evenings are much safer.
• ​🐾 Check the Pavements: Before heading out, place your palm on the pavement. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
• ​🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars: Even for a few minutes, parked cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures rapidly.
• ​💧 Keep Water Flowing: Ensure fresh, cool water is always available and encourage regular drinking.
​If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke or showing signs of distress, please give our team a call! 📞💙
