It’s Day 1 of Guinea Pig Awareness Week 2025! 🐹💚
This year’s theme is all about comfort, care, and companionship.

Recognising the signs of stress in guinea pigs is so important. Stress can come from inadequate housing, poor diet, improper handling, or lack of companionship. By spotting the signs early, we can make a big difference to their wellbeing.

👉 How do you help your guinea pigs feel safe and happy? Share your tips with us below!

🎃Sweets and Sugar free sweets 🎃
If available in large quantities, some dogs may gorge themselves on sugary sweets kept aside for, or collected by, trick or treaters. After eating lots of sugar, or even lots of fat, dogs can develop pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas), which may cause them to be off their food, be sick, have an upset stomach, become tired or go into organ failure.
Some sugar-free sweets and chewing gums contain an artificial sweetener called xylitol, which can be very poisonous to dogs. Xylitol is more commonly found in food products in America, but is beginning to appear in sugar-free products in the UK as well. Xylitol can cause an otherwise healthy dog's blood sugar level to drop to dangerous levels and can also cause liver failure.

Carved Pumpkins🎃

Keep all candles and candlelit carved pumpkins out of the way of waggy tails and nosy noses. A knocked over candle may cause your dog to become burnt, or could start a house fire. Place any lit items on surfaces that are not likely to reached or jolted by your dog.

If using small battery operated lights inside your pumpkin, remember that if these are chewed the batteries inside them could be harmful to dogs. 🐝

Make a den 🏕

If you’re having a Halloween party or in a neighbourhood that gets lots of trick-or-treaters, help your pet feel calm and secure by making them a den in a quiet corner away from the activity. We created a simple guide for pets during fireworks on building a den for cats and dogs. 🐝

🌟STARS OF THE WEEK🌟

This weeks stars are Rupert and George.

Rupert was a bit nervous in the waiting area so his owner got his favourite ball and he calmed straight down.

George always comes in with his ball and is more than happy to show us while he is waiting so nicely.

Does your dog get vocal while waiting? Your dog is more than welcome to bring their favourite toy to keep them occupied while waiting.

We love seeing the toys your pets like to bring in. 🐝

🎆How you can help reduce the impact of fireworks on animals🎆

If you want to enjoy fireworks, you can make them less frightening for animals in the following ways:
• Going to an organised event will reduce the number of fireworks disturbing animals.
• Please only let fireworks off on or around traditional celebration dates (Diwali, Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year). Most owners will already know to expect fireworks on these dates and should have prepared accordingly to help their animals cope. Look for low-noise fireworks, and let your neighbours know well in advance so animals including horses and livestock, can be prepared.
• Never set off fireworks near livestock, as frightened animals - especially horses - can injure themselves when frightened.
• Remember, fireworks can also disturb wildlife so steer clear of known habitats like lakes with waterfowl and trees with roosting birds.
• Check bonfires for wildlife before lighting as animals like hedgehogs may be hibernating.

🎃Choking risks🎃


If eaten, sweet wrappers, lollipop sticks, food containers/boxes, or even small parts from Halloween costumes or decorations can all cause a blockage in your dog's throat, stomach or gut. This can be very dangerous and may require surgery. Signs of a blockage can include your dog being off their food, being sick, tiredness or finding it difficult to poo.

Any concerns, please give us a call on 0113 824 2700 🐝

🎃Trick or treaters 🎃

Frequent calls at the door from costumed trick or treaters may make your dog anxious or stressed. Think about how your dog is when you usually have visitors at the door, and take extra precautions to keep your dog calm and in a quiet and safe place throughout the evening.

Masks and costumes can cause even the most familiar people to look and smell different to a dog, so if going out trick or treating, you may wish to leave your dog at home. 🐝

🌟STAR OF THE WEEK🌟

This is Thunder

He has been in this week for castration and microchipping now he is big enough.

It is so important to have your cat neutered. As cute as they are, cats can get pregnant very quickly and 2 cats can become 16 cats in a very short space of time.

It is now a legal requirement to have your cat Microchipped. This is so important, in case they go on an adventure, we can make sure they get back to you.

He has been such a loving little boy and was keen for a close up picture. 🐝
