NATIONAL RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY

My Baby girl trotted over the rainbow bridge in Jan last year, I miss her every single day, always in my heart and thoughts.❤️❤️

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is observed annually
on August 28th. It's a heartfelt day dedicated to honoring
and remembering beloved pets who have passed away.
For the pet owners among us, it offers a special moment
to reflect on the unconditional love, joy and
companionship our furry friends brought into our lives.
While the day may stir feelings of sadness, its true purpose
is to celebrate the lives of these cherished animals:
reminiscing the happy memories, silly habits and unique
bonds that made them a part of the family.
Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day encourages us to keep
their spirit alive in our hearts forever. 🌈❤️

Is Your Pet Overdue for Their Booster Vaccine? Let’s Get Them Back on Track

Vaccines do more than just protect — they supercharge your pet’s
immune system, shielding them from potentially life-threatening
infectious diseases. Plus, every vaccination appointment includes a
thorough health check from nose to tail — giving you peace of mind
that your pet is happy, healthy, and thriving.
If it’s been over a year since their last jab, good news — it’s not too
late. You can still book their booster without having to restart the
course.
But if they’re more than 3 months overdue, they’ll need to begin a
full vaccination course again. Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.
Join Our Vaccine Catch-Up Campaign!
We’ll make it easier (and more affordable) to get your pet protected.
Pay for the first overdue vaccine, and we’ll give you the second one
free.
Let’s keep your furry friend safe, healthy, and ready for all of life’s
adventures — book today!
Call us on [NUMBER] and our reception team will advise you of the
next available appointment and answer any questions you may have.

Why do cats love cardboard boxes? Because they’re cosy,
enclosed and just the right size to feel safe and warm -
the perfect feline hideaway. They’re also a great place to
pounce, play and scratch.
So why do we keep buying expensive fancy toys and
beds, expecting a different reaction...? 😹
Remember, if your cat is ever a little less playful than
usual, or hiding more, these small changes can say a lot
about their health. Contact us if something’s amiss so we
can help keep them happy and healthy.

Meet Eddie the Border Terrier! His owner booked a
FREE Summer Smiles dental check - and it may have
saved his life. 💚
The check confirmed dental disease and a lump on
his gum and he was booked in for a biopsy and
dental. On the recommendation of his vet, his owner
agreed to pre-op bloods to check that it was safe to
proceed.
The blood results led to a scan, which then led to lifesaving surgery for a serious condition! Eddie made a
full recovery – and you can read his full story here:
