There has been a report of suspected blue-green algae in Frensham Great Pond, Surrey. Blue-green algae can be fatal to dogs.

Blue green algae tends to grow in stagnant/slow-flowing water such as ponds, streams and lakes. It can be very difficult to spot, so keep an eye out for:

Green/blue scum on the water’s surface
Green/blue streaks in the water, which can look a bit like paint
Green or brown clumps floating on the surface, that look a bit like seaweed
Cloudy water with a green/blue/brown appearance.
Green flakes or brown dots
Foaming on the shore’s edge, which can look a bit like sewage
Warning signs
Dead fish/wildlife in the water

Blue-green algae poisoning can cause symptoms as early as 15 minutes after ingestion, but can be days after. Symptoms range from vomiting, diarrhoea and breathing difficulties, to seizures, collapse and death.

If you suspect your dog has been exposed to blue-green algae, its vital to call your vet immediately.

Want to know how to make the team at Priory smile? Bring in a Newfoundland puppy!
Meet Jacques, this adorable big bundle of joy, who recently visited the practice for his very first appointment alongside his big brother, Tati.

Jacques was an absolute superstar throughout his visit and took everything in his stride. Tati, as always, was delighted to see all of his friends here at Priory and helped show his little brother the ropes.

We loved meeting you, Jacques, and can't wait to watch you grow into those paws! 🖤🤍

🐰 Rabbit Awareness Week 2026 🐰

Did you know that hay should make up around 85–90% of your rabbit’s diet?

A healthy rabbit diet is one of the most important factors in preventing dental disease, obesity and digestive problems. Alongside unlimited good quality hay, rabbits should also have access to fresh water, rabbit safe leafy greens and a measured amount of high fibre pellets.

It's also important to remember that a rabbit who suddenly stops eating may be showing signs of a serious health problem and should be seen by a vet as soon as possible.

This Rabbit Awareness Week, we're supporting the "Feeding Bunnies Better" campaign and encouraging owners to take a closer look at their rabbit's diet and wellbeing.

If you'd like advice on nutrition, weight management or rabbit health, our team is here to help.

We can't wait to see you again soon, Winnie! 💙
