Just because it’s getting colder outside, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy winter walks with our canine companions.

Here are our tips:

👉 Walk during daylight if you can; pack a torch and wear reflective gear for after-dark walks.

👉 Keep paws comfy: avoid salted pavements where possible, rinse and dry after.

👉 Make sure it’s not too cold for your dog and use warm clothes for short-haired or senior dogs.

👉 Swap speed for sniffing, which is great winter enrichment.

👉 Bring water and a towel, since wet, chilly dogs cool quickly after play.

Where is your favourite winter route around Nailsea, Yatton or Portishead? Share it in the comments!

"I cannot praise Watkins & Tasker highly enough. My cat has been with them for most of his life, from youth through to old age, and at all stages they have treated him (and me!) with genuine care and respect. We are made to feel like welcome visitors rather than clients."

Laser therapy isn't just for dogs!

Our hydro.vet team see a variety of animals for laser therapy including Carlos the cat in the photo 😻

What is therapeutic laser therapy?
It involves directing infra-red radiation into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body's natural healing process.

Laser therapy has the following effects:
🩵Increases the temperature of the tissue which has a soothing effect and increases blood supply
🩵Provides energy for the cells within the tissue allowing them to repair
🩵Reduces the sensation of pain
🩵Pain free, non-invasive and safe

Talk to us about how laser therapy can help your pet!

Our Watkins + Tasker Vets Eco Team: Steve, Gina, Hannah, Jess, Faye and Jennie spent a fantastic day back in September volunteering at Goblin Combe Lodge.

We rolled up our sleeves to help out with:

👉 Cutting back brambles, weeds and hedges

👉 Reframing photos and giving windows a sparkle

👉 Freshening up the BBQ and fire pits

👉 Plenty more odd jobs to tidy and brighten the space

All part of our commitment to becoming an even greener veterinary practice at Watkins + Tasker Vets ().

🩵Hip and elbow dysplasia
🩵Cruciate and knee cap conditions
🩵Fractures
🩵Weight management
