At last the sun has made an appearance ☀️

Please remember with pets this bank holiday:

😎 ensure pets have plenty of shady spots

😎 walk dogs at cooler parts of the day

😎don’t overdo games with dogs, they will keep chasing that ball!

😎 ensure they have access to plenty of water

😎 pets' appetite often reduces in hot weather

😎 ice cubes - can be added to their water or given as a treat

Stay cool everyone and have a great weekend

When your travel case matches! Little Honey came in to us last week for her health check and vaccination. We love how she's colour coded 🍯 (permission to post).

Say hi to Tucker 👋

This growing pup came to see our nursing team last week for his parasitic treatments. We weighed him to ensure he has the correct dose for his weight. We'll see him again next month for wormer and he's covered for fleas and ticks for 3 months.

We look forward to seeing you next time Tucker 😊 (permission to post).

Want to discuss parasitic treatments for your pet? Give us a call 01789 299455.
