☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

It's going to be a hot day tomorrow so please take precautions if you have an appointment with us.

We have lovely air conditioning throughout the practice, but would advise that you don't walk to us and instead cool your car down if you have air conditioning before you put your pet in, and drive to your appointment. We wouldn't recommend travelling in a car that doesn't have air conditioning.

If you would prefer to cancel your appointment then please let us know by emailing [email protected]

🌟Worried about your dog and rapeseed?🌟

At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

These posts are misinformation.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.
