Symptoms of worms include:

๐Ÿˆ Weight loss
๐Ÿˆ Eating more
๐Ÿˆ Diarrhoea
๐Ÿˆ Tapeworm segments (which look like grains of rice) in your catโ€™s poo

If you have any concerns or questions about worming your cat, get in touch.

Barbecue safety tips for pet owners. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

If youโ€™re planning a barbecue this summer, be aware it could present some hazards to your pets. Here are some key things to remember while you're getting your grill on:

๐ŸŒญ Sharing isn't caring - Don't share your food with your pets. The high fat content in many meats and foods, especially with bones, aren't safe.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Be fire safe - Keep your pets well away from hot flames, fuel and grills. Remember that smoke can irritate animals' lungs. Keep pets inside if they can't be well supervised.

๐Ÿ” Tidy up - Make sure to keep things clean and tidy as tinfoil, clingfilm, skewers and grease-covered stones all pose health risks.

For more advice on keeping your pet safe in the garden this summer, speak to one of our team.

Over the coming spring and summer months, the risk of "flystrike" increases among the rabbit population. Flystrike occurs when flies lay eggs on the rabbit, which hatch into maggots. These maggots then eat the rabbit's flesh, with often fatal results.

Due to rapid development, the best prevention is keeping your rabbit clean and in good health, feeding them an appropriate diet, carefully checking their bottoms at least twice daily and applying preventative treatments during the peak season.
Rabbits are at an increased risk of getting flystrike if they are unable to keep themselves clean due to obesity, arthritis, poor dental health or cramped, dirty living conditions.

Some of the typical signs of flystrike include:
๐Ÿฐ Digging into a corner of their living area
๐Ÿฐ A strong smell from their living area
๐Ÿฐ Open sores or visible maggots on the skin
๐Ÿฐ Lethargic and very quiet
๐Ÿฐ Not eating or drinking

Please get in touch with us quickly for further help and advice if you have any suspicions.
