‼️ URGENT NEWS ‼️

Over the weekend we have had a case that we strongly suspect to have been Canine Parvovirus in a dog in the Ambleside area.

Canine parvovirus is highly contagious in dogs. It classically produces signs of lethargy, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. About 9 out of 10 dogs will die if they contract parvovirus.

The virus can potentially remain active in the ground for several years.

Routine dog vaccinations are highly effective at preventing the disease.

If your dog is up to date with its vaccines you do not need to take further action.

If your dog has not had a vaccine within the last year we strongly recommend that you have them vaccinated in the very near future. If they have not been vaccinated within the last year they may require a vaccination restart which consists of 2 vaccines, 4 weeks apart. We currently have a vaccine amnesty program running where you pay for just the one vaccine. This offer ends at the end of August.

🐶 Meet Nuala! 🐶

She’s just finished her 12-week rehabilitation post TPLO surgery.

A tibial plateau leveling osteotomy is a highly successful surgery for dogs with injured or ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments. A TPLO surgery involves cutting and rotating the tibia to prevent the joint from sliding and make the stifle (knee) more stable.

Our 12-week post op package in our Animal Rehab Centre (ARC) helps to support you and your dog throughout their recovery with specialised treatments from our Veterinary Physiotherapist team.

As you can see, Nuala is a great example of how surgery and rehabilitation have worked to allow her to have her old life back!

🐶 Goodbye Bekka 🐶

On Wednesday, Bekka the puppy Guide dog came to say her final goodbye as next month she will be handed back to the Guide Dogs UK to continue her training.

Bekka has been visiting us regularly with her puppy raisers. She is always so excited to see us as you can see in the photos she struggles to sit still 😂

We all wish you the best of luck Bella.
