🎃👻 Keep your pets safe this Halloween! 🐾

Halloween can be full of treats for us, but it can be a tricky time for our four-legged friends! 🍬🍫

Remember to keep all sweets and chocolates well out of paws’ reach. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs and cats, and many sweets contain ingredients such as xylitol, which can be extremely dangerous for pets.

🐾 Keep treats safely stored away. 🐾 Make sure children know not to share their sweets with pets. 🐾 Keep an eye on wrappers, as these can also cause problems if swallowed.

If you think your pet has eaten chocolate or any sweets, or you’re worried they may have ingested something they shouldn’t, please contact us ASAP on 0113 350 0850. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear – we’re here to help! ❤️

Wishing all our furry friends a safe and happy Halloween! 🧡🎃

🐩✨ WELCOME TO CURLY UNIVERSE! ✨🐩

🐾 Doodles & Poos: Gorgeous curls, extra care! 🐾
Those beautiful bouncy curls might look effortlessly fluffy, but did you know that Doodles and Poos can be a high-maintenance coat? 🫧✂️

At Ardsley Vets Grooming, we’re supporting the Curly Universe campaign to help owners understand the unique needs of these lovely curly-coated companions! 💚

🐶 Here’s what every Doodle & Poo owner needs to know:

🪮 Daily brushing is key! Curly coats can mat quickly, particularly behind the ears, under the legs, around the collar and in areas where harnesses rub. Regular brushing right down to the skin, followed by combing to check for hidden tangles, helps prevent painful matting.

🛁 Bathing and drying matter. Use a suitable dog shampoo and conditioner, rinse thoroughly and dry the coat completely. Curls that are left damp or dried without proper brushing can become tangled and matted.

✂️ Regular professional grooming is essential. Most curly-coated dogs benefit from grooming every 4–8 weeks, depending on their coat type, length and lifestyle. Your groomer can help you establish the right schedule and demonstrate the best brushing techniques for your dog’s coat.

🐕 Not all Doodles and Poos are the same! These crosses can vary significantly depending on their parent breeds. Some have tight curls, while others have looser waves or coats that shed more. Their grooming needs can differ just as much!

🌿 Are they really hypoallergenic? Doodles and Poos are often advertised as hypoallergenic, but this isn’t a guarantee. No dog is completely hypoallergenic, and individual dogs vary in how much they shed and the allergens they produce.

💚 Thinking of getting a Doodle or Poo, or already have one at home?

The Curly Universe campaign has some really helpful information to help you understand what caring for a curly coat involves before bringing one home, and how to keep your four-legged friend comfortable and mat-free.

And, of course, if you have any questions about coat care or grooming schedules, our dog groomer at Ardsley Vets is always happy to offer advice! 🐾💚

Appeal for Owner – Deceased Cat Found on Westerton Road 🌈🐾

We have sadly had a deceased cat handed into the practice who was found on the side of the road on Westerton Road.

He is a neutered male domestic shorthair, tabby in appearance, and was wearing a blue collar with a reflective strip and a bell attached (as shown in the photo).

Unfortunately, we scanned him for a microchip, but no microchip was found.

If you believe this may be your cat and would like to claim ownership, please contact the practice as soon as possible.

Please share this post to help us reach his owner and give them the opportunity to say goodbye. 💙🐾

⚠️ Sensitive content warning

Please be aware that some of the photos in this post contain graphic images of an animal injury and surgery. Viewer discretion is advised, particularly for younger viewers or anyone who may find this type of content upsetting.

A lucky little pup 🐶💗

This young superstar came to see us after being bitten on the neck by a litter mate. While the wounds on one side of her neck were relatively minor and could be carefully cleaned and left to heal naturally, the other side had a much larger and deeper puncture wound that needed some extra attention.

Under a general anaesthetic, the wound was thoroughly cleaned and treated before being stitched, and a drain was placed to help prevent fluid and infection from building up.

A few days later, our brave girl returned for her first post-operative check. We were delighted to see her recovering brilliantly, and the drain was ready to be removed! 🥰

As you can see from her post-surgery snuggles, she was feeling much more like herself again. 💕🐾

Dog bites can sometimes look deceptively small on the surface while hiding much deeper damage underneath. If your pet has been bitten, or you're ever unsure about the severity of an injury, please get them checked by a vet. Prompt assessment and treatment can make all the difference.

This little one was very lucky, and we're so pleased to see her on the road to a full recovery!
