🖤 Brave Girl Bridget! 🐾

Bridget the Black Lab has been an absolute superstar! She's recently had her spay procedure and has taken it all in her stride and I think we can all also agree Bridget looks lovely in pink 🩷

What is neutering❓

Neutering is a surgical procedure which takes away a pet’s ability to reproduce. It is known as spaying in females and castration in males.

Spaying, sometimes spelt speying, involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus (womb).

Castration is the removal of the te**es (testicles).

Neutering pets can be beneficial for their health and wellbeing, as well as preventing unplanned litters.

🕑The timing we recommend for spaying your dog varies. For bi***es who have already had a season, it is generally recommended to book their spay two to three months after a season as this is when the surgery is safest.

There are many medical and behavioural advantages to having your bitch spayed:

🐕It prevents them from coming into season
🐕It prevents unplanned pregnancies
🐕It stops the unwanted attention of male dogs
🐕It eliminates the possibility of a false pregnancy, which can cause milk production, nesting, and behavioural changes
🐕It prevents a life-threatening condition called pyometra, an infection of the womb
🐕It greatly reduces the chance of developing mammary cancer if the bitch is spayed before reaching maturity

for more information on spaying and castration give us a call and one of our nursing team will be happy to help.

🍭Dipstick 🍭

Dipstick was such a brave boy during his recent visit for his vaccinations❤️🐾

❓Why are vaccinations important ❓

Vaccinations are a vital part of protecting your pet from key infectious diseases that cause pain, distress and can be life-threatening 💉

Annual preventative healthcare and vaccination appointments are a great opportunity to give your pet a regular health check, monitor their overall wellbeing and ensure their individual healthcare needs are being met.

Vaccinations for cats and dogs usually consist of a primary course of two or three vaccinations to stimulate an immune response, followed by annual boosters to maintain immunity as the initial immune response gradually fades over time.

For more information on vaccinations give us a call on 01625 525175 or visit our website www.wilmslowvets.co.uk

Health check and consultation
Blood test
Urine test

This Beautiful Lady is Daphne.

Daphne is a Fox Red Labrador 🧡

Genetically the Fox Red Lab is a yellow Lab at the darkest, most saturated end of the yellow spectrum.

The beautiful deep red shade comes from a pigment called pheomelanin.

Two genes play an important role:
🐾 The A gene influences whether red pigment is produced.
🐾 The C gene influences how strongly that colour is expressed.

I think we can all agree Daphne is the most beautiful shade of red.

🎆 REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER! 🎇

Bonfire Night is tomorrow! While fireworks can be exciting for us, they can be frightening and stressful for our furry friends. 🐶🐱

Here are some helpful tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the fireworks.

❓HOW TO SPOT IF YOUR PET IS STRESSED OR ANXIOUS❓

Look out for signs such as:
Trembling or shaking
Hiding or trying to find somewhere to escape
Excessive barking, whining or vocalising
Panting or drooling
Restlessness or unusual behaviour

🎇 OUR TOP TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR PETS CALM AND SAFE:

🏡 Create a Safe Space
Set up a cosy, quiet room with their favourite toys, blankets and somewhere comfortable to hide.

🎶 Drown Out the Noise
Play calming music or have the TV on to help mask the loud bangs outside. Classic FM's Pet Classics is a great option!

🐕 Walk Earlier
Take your dog for a walk before dark, ideally before the fireworks begin.

🚪 Keep Them Indoors
Close windows, doors and pet flaps to prevent frightened pets from escaping. Make sure your pets are safely indoors before the fireworks start.

🐰 Don't Forget the Small Pets!
Bring rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets indoors where possible, or cover their outdoor enclosures with suitable blankets to help muffle the noise. Ensure they still have plenty of ventilation.

❤️ Need a little extra help?
If your pet becomes distressed by fireworks, please speak to us. We're here to help!

🦔 A LITTLE REMINDER ABOUT OUR WILDLIFE...
Please be mindful of wildlife when planning your bonfire. Hedgehogs and other small animals may use bonfire piles as shelter. Always check your bonfire carefully before lighting it, ideally by rebuilding it elsewhere just before use, to avoid harming any wildlife that may be hiding inside.

Let's work together to make Bonfire Night as safe and stress-free as possible for all our pets and wildlife!

❤️🐾 Stay safe and enjoy Bonfire Night!

🐶❤️ Puppy weigh-in for little Ruby! ❤️🐶

We had the pleasure of welcoming gorgeous Ruby, an 8-month-old Lhasa Apso, into the practice for a little weigh-in! 🥰

As Ruby is still growing, it's important that we keep a regular eye on her weight to make sure she's developing nicely and, just as importantly, that we can prescribe the correct doses of her flea and worming treatments. 🐾

Puppies grow and change so quickly, so regular weigh-ins help us make sure they're getting exactly what they need at every stage of their development!

The good news is that Ruby is part of our Pet Health Plan, so her owners don't need to worry about paying for her flea and worm treatment at each visit! Her plan includes enough flea and worm treatment to cover her for the whole year. ❤️

Well done, Ruby, for being such a good girl! We can't wait to see how much you grow! 💕🐾

for more information about the Pet Health Plan, visit our website or give us a call and one of our friendly receptionists will be happy to help.

🎃 Meet Matcha, the adorable British Shorthair! 🐱 She’s super excited for Halloween and all the spooky fun it brings! But alongside the treats and celebrations, Matcha wants to share some important safety tips to help keep all our furry friends happy, healthy and safe this Halloween! 🧡👻🐾

🍫 Keep Toxic Foods Away

Chocolate in all forms, especially dark and baking chocolate, can be very dangerous for cats and dogs. Sugar-free sweets containing xylitol can also cause serious health problems, particularly in dogs, so make sure all treats are kept safely out of reach!

🚪🏃 Prevent Escapes

With doors opening frequently for trick-or-treaters, there’s a greater risk of pets slipping outside. Keep your pets secure in a quiet room, or use baby gates where appropriate, and make sure their ID tags and microchip details are up to date.

🎃 Watch Out for Decoration Hazards

Many cats and dogs love playing with dangling decorations, but chewing or swallowing them can cause serious problems, including intestinal blockages. Keep decorations out of reach and supervise your pets around Halloween displays.

😿 Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Before the trick-or-treating begins, give your pets a quiet, comfortable room where they can feel safe away from the Halloween hustle and bustle. Sticking to their usual routine can also help minimise stress and anxiety.

🧡 Let’s make Halloween fun, spooky and safe for all our furry friends! 🐾👻

🐾 Say hello to Bonnie and Clyde! 🐱💕

These two beautiful kittens are just 3 months old and recently visited Broom Cottage for their very first vaccinations! 💉✨

ℹ Cats can generally be vaccinated from eight or nine weeks of age, with a second vaccination given three to four weeks later.

Core cat vaccinations include feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and feline panleukopaenia virus – sometimes referred to as parvovirus – which causes feline infectious enteritis. We also recommend vaccinating most cats against the feline leukaemia virus, which suppresses the immune system and is potentially fatal.

Adult cats should receive annual booster vaccinations to maintain immunity – particularly if they are going to be spending time in catteries or going outside.

It is important to keep your cat’s vaccinations up to date, as overdue booster injections allow for a decrease in immunity and may mean that your cat needs to restart their primary vaccination course to be adequately protected.

for more information of vaccinations please visit our website or give us a call and we will be more than happy to help.
