Ouch! 🎣

Bertie the Labrador came to see us after getting a fish hook caught in his bottom lip during a trip to the beach. Thankfully, he was very brave and the hook was safely removed by our veterinary team under sedation, and he’s now recovering well. 💙

Fish hooks can cause painful injuries to pets and may become deeply embedded very quickly. If your pet gets caught by the fishermen.. do not try and pull it out! It can cause more damage, give us a call as soon as possible. 🐟🐡❤️

Itʼs a simple question... What are ticks?

Ticks should be removed as soon as possible using a proper tick removal tool. Regular parasite prevention can also help protect your pet.

If youʼre unsure or need help removing a tick, we are always here to help.
