Well done Herbert! We hope you enjoy your prize and have a fantastic Bonfire Night! 💚

We also wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who entered. We absolutely LOVED seeing all your gorgeous pet pictures! 🐶🐱

With Bonfire Night approaching, remember to keep your pets safe and settled. Fireworks can be frightening for our four legged friends, so keep them indoors, create a cosy space and give them plenty of reassurance. 🐾🎇

🐾🩺 Why do we take pre-anaesthetic bloods?

Pre-anaesthetic blood tests give our vets valuable information about your pet’s health, helping us identify potential concerns that might not be obvious during a routine examination.

The results help us assess whether your pet is ready for their procedure and whether any adjustments or extra precautions may be needed to their anaesthetic plan.

Although no test can eliminate every risk, having this extra information helps us make informed decisions and provide the most appropriate care for your furry family member. 🐶🐱

🎃👻 KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN! 👻🎃

Halloween can be great fun for us, but for our pets, all the spooky sights, sounds and treats can bring some unexpected dangers. 🐾🖤💚

🍫 KEEP CHOCOLATE OUT OF PAWS' REACH!
Chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats. The darker the chocolate, the higher the risk, as it contains more of theobromine and caffeine.

Eating chocolate can cause:
⚠️ Vomiting or diarrhoea
⚠️ Restlessness and agitation
⚠️ Increased heart rate
⚠️ Tremors or seizures
⚠️ In severe cases, it can be life-threatening

🍬 SWEETS & Xylitol
Sugar-free sweets, chewing gum and some other products may contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is extremely dangerous to dogs. It can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar and, in some cases, liver damage.

🚫 Please keep all sweets, chocolate and treats securely out of reach and remember that wrappers can also cause problems if swallowed.

🎃 DECORATIONS & PUMPKINS
Keep candles, lit pumpkins, electrical cables and small decorations away from curious noses and paws. Pumpkin itself is generally safe for pets in moderation, but mouldy or spoiled pumpkin should never be fed.

👻 KEEP THE SPOOKS TO A MINIMUM
Constant doorbells, costumes, visitors and strange noises can be stressful for some pets. Make sure they have a quiet, secure place to retreat to, with their favourite bed, toys and plenty of fresh water.

🐕 WATCH OUT WHEN OUT WALKING
Halloween costumes, fireworks and unexpected noises can frighten pets. Keep dogs securely on their leads and make sure cats are safely indoors if they are unsettled by the celebrations.

🚨 IF YOUR PET EATS CHOCOLATE OR SOMETHING POTENTIALLY TOXIC...

Don't wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinary practice for advice as soon as possible. Tell us what was eaten, approximately how much, when it was eaten, and your pet's weight. Keep the packaging if you have it.

A little preparation can help make Halloween a safe and happy night for everyone. 🐾🎃

With firework night only one week today, now is the perfect time to start preparing our furry friends for the loud bangs, flashes and unexpected noises. 💥

If your pet needs any additional support or advice for the evening, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’re always happy to help you make the evening as calm and comfortable as possible. 💚🖤

🎇 Some tips to help your pets:

🏠 Create a safe space – Make sure your pet has somewhere quiet, cosy and familiar where they can retreat if they feel worried.

🔊 Reduce the noise – Close windows and curtains and put on the TV, radio or some gentle background noise to help mask the sound of fireworks.

🐶 Walk dogs before dark – Try to get your dog’s walk done before fireworks are likely to start, and always keep them securely on a lead when outside.

🐱 Keep cats indoors – Encourage your cat to come inside before dark and make sure they have access to their favourite hiding places.

🐰 Make rabbits feel secure – Provide plenty of hiding places and familiar bedding. If possible, consider moving their enclosure somewhere quieter and away from direct flashes and loud noises.

🧸 Keep them comfortable – Familiar blankets, toys and bedding can help provide reassurance.

❤️ Stay calm yourself – Our pets can pick up on our emotions. Try to remain calm and reassuring, and let them choose whether they want comfort or space.

⚠️ Never force your pet to interact if they are frightened. Let them retreat to their safe space and come to you when they feel ready.

💚🖤 Remember, every pet is different. If you’re worried about how your pet will cope with firework night, please get in touch with us we’re here to support you and your pet. 🐾

✨ BONFIRE NIGHT SURVIVAL TIPS! ✨

🏡 Create a cosy den! 🐾
Make a little safe haven for your pet somewhere quiet in your home. A covered crate, a space under a table, or a cosy corner with their favourite blankets and toys can make all the difference. Let them choose their hiding spot and never force them out if they want to feel safe. 💚

🎵 Keep the noise down
Close windows and curtains to muffle bangs and block out flashes. Put on the TV or some gentle music to help disguise the fireworks.

🐕 Walkies before dark
Try to walk your dog before the fireworks begin, and always keep them on a lead outside in case they get startled. Make sure their microchip details are up to date too!

🐱 Keep them safe indoors
Keep cats inside when fireworks are expected, and make sure all doors, windows and cat flaps are secure.

🌿 Consider extra calming support
If your pet struggles with firework anxiety, speak to our team for advice on what may help them best.

📅 Competition closes: Sunday 1st Nov
🏆 Winner announced: Monday 2nd Nov

Good luck, everyone! 💚
