Did you know that chocolate and hot cross buns can harm pets? 🤔

Easter is a time for celebration, but keeping your pets safe is also important. Keep any Easter treats out of reach, and be mindful of decorations that could be a choking hazard or cause damage if ingested.

We hope that you never have to visit us due to an emergency problem, but these situations are unpredictable, so it’s always best to be prepared! 🚑

Traumatic injuries, such as road traffic accidents, urinary blockages, prolonged or multiple seizures, ingestion of toxic foods or substances, and difficulties breathing are among the most common issues that cause an emergency visit to the vets.

If you’re not sure if you have an emergency on your hands and if your pet needs emergency care, we’re here to help, so don’t hesitate to call us! Make sure you have our number saved on your phone, so you don’t have to waste time looking for it when you need it. 📲

Blood tests can provide us with a wide range of information about our patients' health at that particular moment in time.

There are many situations where we might need to take a blood sample of your pet, such as:

🩸 Before your pet is under anaesthesia for a surgical procedure, to ensure the kidney and liver are working well

🩸As part of a routine check-up to get a good baseline of information

🩸 During senior health checks, so we can identify any health problems that might show up with ageing

🩸 Screening for health problems when your pet is feeling unwell

🩸 Monitoring long-term treatments to make sure medicines are working as intended

Rest assured that our team of vets and vet nurses is highly trained in taking blood samples and will ensure a stress-free procedure!

Separation anxiety is a common behavioural problem in dogs. 🐶

The best way to tackle it is to seek veterinary help early to avoid serious complications.

Trying to make your dog associate being alone with good things, such as new toys or delicious treats can be part of the strategy to fight separation anxiety. These should be removed as soon as you get home, though, so your dog understands they only get them when they’re home alone.

Have you had to deal with separation anxiety before? Let us know about your experience in the comments.
