DID YOU KNOW?!

🚫🥵 On a hot day, a conservatory is hotter. Twice as hot to be exact!

Keep them cool and safe this summer by avoiding the conservatory trap. 🏞️❌

Whether it's scorching outside or just warm, remember: pets deserve shade, water, and a comfy indoor oasis. 🌿💦

Beat the heatwave and let them chill with you inside! 🏠❤️

Sheds, Greenhouses, Summerhouses 👀

During the hotter months, cats can find their way into a nice and cosy area like sheds and greenhouses. However, they can become trapped, too warm and then dehydrated.

Please always check these places for unexpected visitors before locking them up!

!!WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG HAS OVERHEATED!!

⚠️ Remember: Wet then Vet. 🌊🏥👇

Quickly wet the dog with cool water around 15 degrees (not freezing cold). If not available, any water that is cooler than the dog’s skin feels.

Cool water, around 15°C, is ideal, but any water will help. If you only have soft drinks, ensure they don't contain xylitol (birch sugar), and avoid pouring them on the dog's head. Wetting the dog will promote cooling through evaporation. Do this before taking them to the vet but don't spend too much time on it.

Afterward wetting, or while someone else is wetting the dog, contact your vet and inform them about the situation and how long it will take you to arrive. This allows the vet's team to prepare for your dog's arrival and increases their chances of receiving prompt treatment.

Avoid using wet towels on the dog as they can trap heat. However, specialised cooling vests that function through evaporation are suitable.

Heatstroke cases in pets are all too common; share the below far and wide!

Many dogs get heatstroke when their owners take them out during high temperatures. Let's prevent heatstroke by knowing when it's safe to take your dog outside, and please contact us if you think your dog might have heatstroke!
And remember to keep your pets hydrated and are given plenty of shade.

Enjoy the sunshine, but please keep tabs on your pets x

💚🐾 Vet Nurse Awareness Month🐾💚

A Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) isn’t just a job title - it’s a professional qualification.
RVNs have completed extensive training, passed recognised exams and are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, meaning they follow strict professional standards and continue learning throughout their careers.
They play a vital role in your pet’s care - from monitoring anaesthetics and assisting in surgery, to running clinics, supporting recovery and helping owners keep their pets happy and healthy
This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the skill, compassion and dedication our nursing team brings every single day.

We have a positive Pet travel update - the states vet department have now enabled the long winded paperwork to be completed electronically - this will make some AHC forms simpler (and therefore cheaper).
