โ˜€๏ธ Who's ready for a fun and safe summer?

๐Ÿพ Before the sun gets too hot to handle, make sure your pet is protected from those pesky seasonal villains! ๐Ÿคฃ

Here's your quick pre-summer to do list:

๐Ÿ”น Tick Protection: Don't let those blood-suckers ruin the fun!
Tall grass and warmer days mean more ticks. Ask us about our vet-approved treatments to kill or repel them, reducing the risk of harmful disease transmission. ๐Ÿชฒ

๐Ÿ”น Worm-free Wonderland: Summer outdoor adventures increase the risk of picking up parasites. Keep your pets routine treatments up to date. Your pet (and you) will thank you!๐Ÿชฑ

๐Ÿ”น Vaccination Superpower: Socialising at kennels, parks, or beach days?
Ensure their immunity is strong against common infections. Get those boosters sorted so summer is full of adventures and zero worries.

๐Ÿ“ž Book your petโ€™s pre-summer health check and stock up on preventative care asap!

How to keep your pet birds cool this summer... ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฆ†

1. Provide plenty of fresh, cool water. ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง
Ensure your bird has clean drinking water and a shallow bathing dish to splash in. Refresh the water daily, and use a misting spray for quick relief.

2. Supply shaded areas. ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด
Give your bird a break from the sun in both indoor and outdoor aviaries. Position perches in the shade, drape a cover over the enclosure, or add large, bird-safe plants.

3. Offer fresh, watery fruit. ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŒ
Treats like watermelon, apples, pears, grapes, and bananas are excellent. Use washed, organic fruit to avoid chemicals, and remove uneaten pieces quickly to prevent spoilage.

4. Keep your bird at a healthy weight. โš–๏ธโš–๏ธ
Fit birds handle heat much better. A balanced diet prevents obesity, significantly lowering their risk of heat stroke.

5. Recognize the signs of overheating. ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฆ
Watch for panting, open-beak breathing, wings held away from the body, or sluggish behavior. If you see these signs, seek veterinary advice immediately.

โš ๏ธ IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Danger of Grass Seeds ๐Ÿพ

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

We want to share a quick but vital safety warning regarding the danger of grass seeds.

While we fully support the councilโ€™s initiative to leave roadside verges long for our wildlife ๐Ÿ๐Ÿž๐Ÿฆ‹, the cutting process creates a major hazard. Once mown, these sharp grass seeds are left loose, drastically increasing the risk of them embedding themselves into your dog's paws.

We strongly urge all dog owners to check their pets thoroughly after every walk. Pay close attention to the spaces between their toes, as well as the gaps between the main footpad and the toe pads. Grass seeds are notoriously difficult to spot, but they cause extreme pain and distress for our dogs if left untreated.

Wishing you all happy and safe walkies! โค๏ธ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿพ VETERINARY NURSING AWARENESS MONTH ๐Ÿพ

As you know, we are celebrating our dedicated veterinary nursing team this month and this week it's their passion for the job that they do and the lives they make better. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

Passion is the driving force behind every veterinary nursing team member. Itโ€™s what keeps them dedicated through long shifts, challenging cases, and the emotional highs and lows of animal care.

This passion isn't just about a love for animals; itโ€™s a deep-rooted commitment to clinical excellence and patient advocacy. Whether they are meticulously monitoring a patient in surgery or constantly updating their skills to provide the best care possible, their heart is in every task. Itโ€™s this unwavering energy that ensures every pet is treated with the highest level of devotion and professional pride at Quarry House Vets.

A big thank you to our amazing veterinary nursing team. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿพ VETERINARY NURSING AWARENESS MONTH ๐Ÿพ

As you know, we are celebrating our dedicated veterinary nursing team this month and the immense empathy they bring to their roles. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Empathy isnโ€™t just a skill for our nursesโ€”itโ€™s a requirement to do the job well. Because they are pet owners themselves, they truly understand the worry and the bond you share. ๐Ÿค— Whether they are sensing a patientโ€™s pain or supporting you through tough choices, their ability to connect with both pet and owner is what makes them exceptional. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ˜

Our team goes the extra mile every day because they donโ€™t just treat animals; they advocate for them. This means staying late to sit with a recovery patient, hand-feeding those who have lost their appetite, and providing the constant reassurance both pets and owners need.

๐Ÿพ VETERINARY NURSING AWARENESS MONTH ๐Ÿพ

Behind the scrubs and the smiles, veterinary nursing carries a heavy emotional weight. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’š

While our team goes the extra mileโ€”from running free senior clinics to assisting in life-saving careโ€”the transition from the joy of a new puppy to the heartbreak of a final goodbye takes immense mental strength. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‹โ€โ™€

This week, weโ€™re highlighting the importance of Mental Health in our profession. Our nurses give their hearts to your pets every day, and we are committed to supporting their wellbeing and preventing compassion fatigue.

If you would like to help give our team a little boost then please leave a message of thanks or share a photo of your pet in the comments below... ๐Ÿ‘‡โœจ

๐Ÿพ VETERINARY NURSING AWARENESS MONTH ๐Ÿพ

Behind every successful recovery and every peaceful goodbye is a veterinary nursing team who give their hearts as much as their clinical expertise. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

Veterinary nursing is more than just a jobโ€”itโ€™s a commitment. Our nursing team are the backbone of our practice, always prepared to go the extra mile to ensure every pet feels safe and every owner feels heard.

This week we highlight the compassion that our nursing team show for our patients and clients.

What does nursing compassion look like at our Quarry House Vets?

โญ Expert Education: Our team doesn't just treat pets; they advise owners too. From nutritional information to post-op care, our nursing team are always on hand to share their knowledge and answer your questions.

โญ Free Senior Pet Clinics: We believe our golden oldies deserve special attention. Our nurses run dedicated clinics to help you manage the aches, pains, and changes that come with ageโ€”completely free of charge.

โญ Patient Advocacy: Whether itโ€™s warming up blankets for a post-op patient or hand-feeding a picky eater, our team treats every animal with the same dignity, care and compassion theyโ€™d give their own pets.

โญ Support for You: We recognise the deep bond you share with your pets. Our helpful team is here to provide the empathy and guidance needed during both routine visits and lifeโ€™s hardest decisions.

To our incredible veterinary nursing team: thank you for the countless "extra miles" you walk every single day.
