In an extraordinary case of seriously missing your exit, Oona the puffin became very lost from the usual cliffs by the sea and ended up at Vets for Pets Hereford

It's believed Oona may have travelled as far as 110 miles from Skomer Island or Skokholm, before landing exhausted in the garden of a concerned member of the public, who brought her straight to their local vet. Weak from her adventures and underweight, Oona is being cared for by the team until she’s strong enough to be released back into the wild.

Head Vet Elliot, who is the locally-based owner of Vets for Pets Hereford, said, “We were surprised to say the least. Puffins never venture far inland unless they’re disoriented or have been blown off course. It’s likely she was returning to her nesting site in West Wales and lost her way. It was a full team effort, from diagnosis to feeding and nutrition; everyone brought their expertise to the table. Even though we’ve treated many exotics before including, lynx, meerkats and goshawks, this was our first puffin.”

When a lump on nine-year-old Bella’s leg started to rapidly grow, the team at Preston Capitol Vets4Pets knew it was a sign of something more serious.

Bella’s owners had first noticed the small lump in March and brought her into the practice to have it checked out. Unfortunately, a biopsy revealed it was an aggressive form of cancer, and it was recommended that Bella’s leg be removed to give her the best chance at a full recovery.

Owner Chloe said, “Bella is our family; we couldn’t have asked for a better dog for our children growing up. Every member of the team from reception staff to the vets at Vets for Pets made Bella feel special at every visit. We are so thankful to all the team. She has been so resilient through it all.”

Vet Emily, who performed the surgery, said: “We don’t take big surgeries like this lightly, but Bella’s fantastic owners have kept her in tip-top shape, so we were confident that it would give her the best chance. We couldn’t be prouder of her bravery and recovery — she truly is a superstar!”

Bodhi knows that nothing beats a refreshing drink of water on a hot day - especially when it's in a freezable bowl like this one from Pets at Home.

Ten-month-old Bodhi is a ragdoll, and with his long fur, he can struggle in hot weather. Thankfully, owner Emmer has lots of tricks to keep Bodhi cool. She said, “Along with the freezable bowl from Pets at Home, I’ve also got cool mats all around the house. He loves a Lick-e-lix treat, so I put some in the fridge to keep them nice and cool. Unlike other cats, he loves water and splashing around, so I lay out a tray of water with treats for him. This way, he gets his paws wet, which helps him stay cool.”

Seven-year-old Smudge has passed down his first-ever toy, a Pets at Home kicker, to his new kittens, who now enjoy it just as much as he did.

We asked you to share the first toy you got your pet, and owner Charlie told us about a kicker cat toy he originally got for his cat first cat Smudge seven years ago.

Charlie, who shops at Pets at Home Northampton, said, “The first toy bought for our first kitten, Smudge, was a Pets at Home kicker that was white and fluffy with feathers on one end. Smudge is now seven-year-old and still loves that same toy, as do our four new rescue kittens. We throw it in the air for them to catch and then they roll over and kick it. They also love throwing it around and sneaking up on it to hunt it.”

Three-year-old Milo is eager to show off his latest toy haul from Pets at Home.

Owner Amy, who shops at Pets at Home Handforth, says that “toys are everything to Milo”, so she makes sure that his toy box is always well stocked. She said, “Milo loves a variety of toy, from rope toys, to exploring with snuffle mats and solving burrow toys. He proudly parades around the room to show us when he’s had completed one. His current new favourite is his squeaky rugby ball. When we kick or throw it, he squeaks it non-stop on the way back like it’s part of the game. He’s totally obsessed!”

When Pets at Home customer Alison fractured her ankle, Maysie the Therapy dog. didn't leave her side until her husband arrived home.

Alison had fallen on the garden path while her husband was out walking their other dogs. After running back and forth to the gate, Maysie lay down next to Alison with her head on her leg until he returned. Alison has four rescue border collies and knows how important it is to give them a ‘job’, which is why clever Maisie has volunteered for Therapy Dogs Nationwide since 2018.

Alison said, “Border Collies are extremely intelligent and need a job. They absolutely love to assist you and love praise. Maysie will pick up things on the floor, close doors and empty the washing machine. She’s very good at knowing if someone is not feeling well or upset, and that's what makes her such a good therapy dog. We often visit Pets at Home with our four collie girls as it a great place to practice their socialising, plus they love the occasional treat!”

Four-month-old Vegas wasn’t sure about his paddling pool at first, but now owner Emma can’t keep him out of it.

Emma picked up the paddling pool from her local Pets at Home in preparation for the hot weather, but the dalmatian puppy didn’t feel confident to get in it at first. Emma said, “It was the first time Vegas had ever seen water that deep. I encouraged him by getting his favourite toy – some teething keys also from Pets at Home – and threw them in. He couldn’t resist and jumped straight in after them. Now he absolutely loves spending time in his pool; digging the water, throwing his toys in and jumping in and out.”

Hi, I'm Amigo! 🐹🐾

I am a male syrian hamster. I am about 4-5 months old, and I am looking for my furever home.

I am looking for a family who are experienced with Syrian Hamsters as I am very nervous and will need lots of patience. I am not suitable for children, so a family with experienced teenagers and adult home would be best.

I will need a large cage with a large wheel with plenty of things to climb, dig, and chew.

If you think you have a perfect sized space in your family, then please pop down to meet me!

I look forward to meeting you
Amigo 🐾🐹

🐠 Fish of The Week 🐠

This weeks fih of the week is the stunning Golden Barbs.

😀These colourful little dudes are a great addition to community tanks. They are very peaceful and undeserving of the barb name reputation.

🌏 Originally from China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. Often known as Chinese barb and have green wild relatives.

🐠 Males are slimmer and more colourful. The females are dull yellow with round bellies.

🐟 Need to be kept in shoals of 6 or more. They can be housed with other similar sized fish, including tetras, danios, and other small barbs.

🍽️ Love flake food, pellets, and the odd bit of bloodworm.

🪴 They look amazing against dark green plants like Anubias. They like open space for swimming but love driftwood & places for hiding spaces.

🐶💛 Today is Dogs in Yellow Day 💛🐶

Yellow dogs are dogs that need space and can be identified by wearing something yellow, such as a harness, coat, lead, or even the handler wearing Yellow, too.

A dog and their owners may be wearing yellow for many different reasons, including if the dog is:

💛 A rescue dog - adjusting to new life 🐾
💛 Anxious or fearful of other dogs/people/traffic 🐶
💛 Reactive to other dogs/people🐾
💛 Elderly, Arthritic or ill 🐶
💛 Recovering from surgery🐾
💛 In training 🐶
💛 A female in season🐾
💛An assistant dog that is in work or training 🦮

If you do see a yellow dog, please do not approach them and give them plenty of space. Not only will this help the dog, but often, the handler, too. 😁🐾💛

These two lovely girls are still looking for their furever family who will spoil them 🥰

Hey, We are Cookie & Shortbread and we are looking for our furever home. Cookie is the one with a lighter face, Shortbread has a darker face.

We are spayed females, and we are roughly 3 years old, and we have always been together. We are looking for a home together where we will have plenty of space and things to do. We need lots of space to exercise, binky, hop, and dig. Ideally, we need a child free home.

We have been put on a bit of a diet since we came to the store, as we are a little overweight for our breed, Shortbread, in particular, needs to lose a little more weight. Our new home will need to continue this and also ensure we keep to a healthy weight.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about us, please pop down to the store as ask one of the team.

We hope to see you soon

🐠 Fish of the Week 🐠

This week's Fish of the Week is the wonderful Pearl Gourami.

😀 also known as lace gourami. They are a type of labyrinth fish - meaning that they can gulp air at the surface and hold it in its labyrinth chamber of the first gill arch - a lung-like organ that enables it to breathe air in addition to using gills.

🌟 They are a labyrinth fish like the others; They can make noise like a growling or croaking sound. Usually heard during breeding or males fighting.

🌏 Originally from Thailand, Malaysia, and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

🐠 They can be housed within a community tank but avoid housing with aggressive species. Similar sized and temperament fish are ideal tankmates, they can be housed with small shoaling fish like tetras.

🙊 Can be kept in groups, ideally 1 male to several females. Males can become aggressive if breeding to the same species and other gourami's.

🍽 flake, pellets, and occasional bloodworm. They will also be happy to eat vegetables such as romaine lettuce and peas.

🪴 They are from heavy vegetation areas in rivers, so ideally, they need a planted tank with areas to hide in.

😺 Cat Microchipping 😺

In England, from the 10th June 2024, it will become compulsory to microchip all kittens from the age of 20 weeks. However, there is no minimum age.

Although in Wales, it won't be compulsory, it is recommended that kittens and cats are microchipped.

Microchipped lost pets are able to be reunited to their owners quicker. Collars and tags can easily be lost.

All details can be regularly checked and updated by the owner to make sure it remains effective.

Book your kitten or cat in with your vet for microchipping.
