Fireworks season isn’t great for all pets and there’s lots you can do to help them get through it.

One of the things you can do is to build a den. This would be somewhere they feel safe, away from the noises and flashes which may upset them. Having a radio or tv nearby also helps to drown out the noises.

Pick an area which is away from the general hustle and bustle of the house. It might be somewhere they have already chosen which makes them feel safe perhaps behind the couch or under the bed.

If they don’t have a “cave” to hide in, create one – a cardboard box or a dog cage with a blanket over it. A cat carrier or an igloo bed is ideal too.

Make the cave comfortable – add in a favourite blanket for them to cosy into.

Try an Adaptil or Feliway plug-in in the area. These help by releasing calming pheromones.

Build the den a few days or weeks before fireworks night – it will let your pet get used to it and realise it is a safe plate for them to be.

Happy Halloween!

Hopefully, everyone will have as much fun as these mischievous kittens did with the pumpkin photos!

Remember not all pets like Halloween and the hustle and bustle of strangers and weird and new noises and sights around the house.

Here are some tips which may help at this time of year.

Did you know we run a pain clinic here at Bruceview?

We are delighted to offer one hour appointments to treat your pets holistically. We listen to your concerns and fully assess your pet both physically and behaviourally to enable us to provide a tailored made treatment plan. We can offer laser therapy, acupuncture and multi modal medications if required.

These appointments are with vet Sarah who has over 10 years' experience running pain clinics in Scotland. She also has further qualifications in chronic pain management and western veterinary acupuncture.

Please call us on 01786 815560 or talk to your vet to find out more.

And hot on the heels of National Black Cat Day we now have National Cat Day!

This is the excuse we're using to ask for pictures of your cats on our post.

We don't care what colour of fur they have, how big or small they are, how fat or thin they are - we just love to see them.

Can you help us find this wee boy?

He is neutered and microchipped and has been missing from his home in Bannockburn for the past 5 days.

If you see him, please call his owner on 07425 357746 or Bruceview on 01786 815560.

Thank you

Are you coming in to see us for an appointment?

We have quite a small waiting room at Bruceview. Unfortunately, our waiting room isn’t big enough to allow separate cat or dog areas, so we need your help to try and keep you, and your pet safe and calm while you are here.

Some of our clients prefer to wait outside in their car, or if the weather is nice, but not too hot, in the carpark. If you would like to do this, please let us know at reception and we can give you a buzzer to “buzz” you in when we are ready. This is a great way to keep your pets calm in an already stressful situation for them.

Please bring your cat in to see us in a suitable basket – they may not get on with the dogs in the waiting room.

Also remember to bring your dog in on a lead and keep them under control. If you don’t have a lead, we can give you a loan of one for the visit – just ask at reception.
If your dog is excitable and very vocal in the waiting room, it can be very upsetting for other pets in the waiting room so please don’t be offended if our reception team give you a buzzer and ask you to wait outside.

As many of you are aware, we will be moving to a much bigger building just along the Glasgow Road in the middle of November. We are delighted to say we will have a much roomier reception with separate cat and dog areas.

Today is National Black Cat Day!

This day has been created to make people aware of how amazing black cats can be!

For years they were thought to be unlucky or evil due to being associated with witches. As all black cat owners know, this isn't true - they can be great companions the same as any other colour of cat.

We would love to see pictures of your beautiful black cats.
