Meet Highfield’s very important PR Manager

If you have been into the Highfield clinic, chances are you would have already met our pint-sized PR Manager. Muz may be small, but he takes his role very seriously.
From greeting clients, to overseeing lunch breaks (and anyone who may have snacks), he’s very much an essential part of the team.

Muz is always up for a pat or quick belly scratch, so be sure to say hi next time you’re in!

They can’t tell us they are in pain, but their body will!

If you have noticed your pet slowing down lately, it may not be just old age. Osteoarthritis is more common than you may think and there are lots of ways that we can help to ease the pain and manage this for your pets.

Keep an eye out for signs of stiffness, struggling or slowing to get up from naps, hesitation to jump up or down, change in mood or sleeping more, and less interest in walks or play. If you are seeing these clues, then it may be time to book in for a check up!

Book with your local clinic and let’s get your pet moving again 💚

Calving season can be unpredictable, and we know that things can go from fine to urgent pretty quickly!

A healthy calf should be up and feeding within a couple of hours after birth. If something feels off, trust your instincts, calves can go downhill quickly.

Looking for red flags and knowing when to ring your vet can make all the difference for calf and cow. If you are ever unsure, give one of our team a ring, It is what we are here for!

Don’t let your bored pets run rings around you this winter!
Shorter days and chilly weather means getting outside and burning energy can be harder. Mental stimulation for animals is just as important as physical though and we have a few ideas that might help save your sanity 😼

Snuffle mat for treats - Hide a few treats or their biscuits in an old towel rolled up or knotted. This is great for dogs and cats who love to sniff and forage!

Cardboard box puzzle - Same idea, but creates a new challenge. Poke some holes in a box and hide treats or toys inside, this will keep them curious and busy.

Rotate their toys - Pets are just like kids, they get bored of the same toys. Try keeping some out of sight and rotate them every few days to spark interest.

Teach a new trick - Even small doses of mental enrichment is beneficial! 5 minutes spent learning a new trick like “shake” or “spin” helps to keep cognitive skills thriving.

Got a clever idea or trick of your own? Let us know in the comments, we would love to share it!

Keep Your Pet Safe This Winter ❄️🐾

Winter brings cosy vibes - but also a few hidden hazards for pets.

🔥 Heaters & Fires – Pets love the warmth but can get too close. Use fireguards and keep beds at a safe distance.
🧪 Antifreeze & Rodent Baits – Even small amounts can be fatal. Store well out of reach.
🍄 Mushrooms & Garden Bulbs – Many are toxic. Keep an eye out and remove them quickly.
❄️ Cold Sensitivity – Older or short-haired pets feel the chill more. Add cosy bedding or a coat for walks.

Not sure if your home’s winter-safe? Our vet nurses are here to help – just ask next time you’re in clinic!
