Bonfire Night can be an exciting evening for us, but for many pets, the sudden bangs, flashes and vibrations can be frightening.

A little preparation can help. Before fireworks begin, make sure you:

🐾 Walk dogs earlier in the day

🐾 Keep cats indoors before it gets dark

🐾 Close windows, curtains and blinds

🐾 Create a quiet, comfortable hiding place

🐾 Use background noise to help muffle outside sounds

If your pet has struggled with fireworks before, speak to us today. There may be additional ways we can help them cope.

Behind every appointment, there’s a team discussing, reviewing, and caring deeply about each clinical case. It’s never just one moment or one person; it’s shared expertise, thoughtful decisions, and a commitment to giving every animal the best possible care. 🥰

As pets get older, small changes at home can make a big difference to their comfort and quality of life.

Try adding soft bedding, non-slip rugs, gentle exercise, and regular quiet time to rest. Ramps, low-entry litter trays, and keeping essentials within easy reach can also help senior pets stay safe and comfortable.

If you notice changes in mobility, sleep, appetite, or behaviour, it’s worth arranging a check-up with us. Many age-related problems can be managed to help your pet enjoy their senior years. 🐶🐱

Did you know we can perform basic blood work, biochemistry analysis, and urine testing in house? 🩺

Having an in-house laboratory means we can get important information about your pet’s health quickly, helping us investigate illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and make treatment decisions sooner.

These tests can give us a useful early picture of things like hydration, infection, organ function, and urine health, all without the delay of sending samples away.

Did you know we were able to do all of this in-house? 🩸🔬

Diabetes in dogs and cats is more common than many pet owners realise, and spotting the signs early can make a big difference.

If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Your senior pet might look perfectly well at home, but some health problems can develop quietly before obvious symptoms appear.

Our Senior Pet Check-Up has been designed specifically for older dogs and cats who appear healthy, helping us look for early signs of conditions such as osteoarthritis, dental disease, kidney and liver dysfunction, diabetes, cognitive changes and certain cancers.

The aim isn’t simply to find disease. It’s to understand your pet’s health more fully so that, if something does need attention, we can discuss the next steps with you.

Get in touch with our team to find out more and take advantage of our 10% discount during October, plus an extra 10% off if you’re part of our health plan.

Small mammals including rabbits, guinea pigs and ferrets can sometimes sustain a foreign body injury.

This is often in the form of grass seeds, hay splinters or blades of grass trapped around their eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

If left untreated, these can cause irritation, infection and soreness.

We recommend routinely checking your pets for any signs of swelling and redness.

If you suspect that your pet has a foreign body or injury, let us take a look for you. 🐰 🐹

Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, or BOAS, is a breathing condition that can affect flat-faced cats, such as Persians and Exotic Shorthairs, just like it affects flat-faced dogs.

Their shortened facial shape can make it harder for air to move normally through the upper airways and lead to:

👉 Noisy breathing

👉 Snoring when awake or asleep

👉 Open-mouth breathing

👉 Exercise intolerance

👉 Breathing difficulties in warm weather or during stress

👉 Gagging or retching

BOAS can have a big impact on comfort and quality of life, even if the signs seem mild at first.

BOAS diagnosis is based on your cat’s history, examination, and sometimes further assessment of the airways.

Treatment depends on severity, but may include weight management, reducing stress and heat exposure, and surgery to help improve airflow.

If your cat struggles with breathing or seems noisy when resting, it is worth booking a check-up with us.

As pets get older, some health problems can develop quietly, without obvious signs at first. 🐾

Our Senior Pet Check-Up is designed to look for early signs of common age-related conditions, including osteoarthritis, dental disease, kidney and liver problems, diabetes and cognitive changes.

Spotting changes earlier can help us understand what your pet needs and, where appropriate, start treatment or management sooner to support their comfort and quality of life.

Is your pet entering their senior years? Speak to our team to find out whether a Senior Pet Check-Up could be right for them. 💙

Pets can be surprisingly determined when they sense something tasty, and chocolate left on tables, in gift boxes or in shopping bags can quickly become an accidental snack.

To reduce the risk:

🐾 Store chocolate in closed cupboards

🐾 Keep gift boxes and sweets away from curious pets

🐾 Remind children and visitors not to share chocolate with pets

🐾 Dispose of wrappers and leftovers safely

Even a small amount can be a concern depending on the type of chocolate and the size of your pet.

If you suspect your pet has eaten chocolate, give us a call straight away so we can advise you.
