✨ Meet Ollie ✨

We first met Ollie as a bouncy little pup with an unusual front paw. As he grew and began exploring, walking became more uncomfortable for him.

At just 6 months old, it became clear that surgery was needed to help him live his best life. Last week, Ollie underwent a big procedure:
🐾 Two partial toe amputations to remove claws that were growing in the wrong direction and causing them to dig in.
🐾 One full toe amputation for a toe that was in the wrong place.

Swipe through the pictures to see his X-rays, before and after surgery, along with comparisons to a normal paw.

💙 Despite his big bandage, Ollie is already bouncing back like the superstar he is! We’re so proud of his progress and can’t wait to see him running around pain-free very soon.

🚨 Microchip Email Scam Alert 🚨

We’ve been made aware of scam emails circulating, asking pet owners to renew their pets’ microchip details.

👉 Please be aware:

Your pet’s microchip does not expire.

You only need to update microchip details if you move house or change personal information.

Legitimate databases will never contact you asking for payment or urgent updates via email.

✅ To check where your pet’s microchip is registered, you can enter their 15-digit microchip number on an official UK database such as Check-a-Chip.co.uk

If you receive one of these emails, do not click any links or give out personal details. Report it as phishing and delete it.
