Ever stopped to think who’s truly got life all figured out?

While we’re dashing from one responsibility to the next, juggling meetings, errands, and social commitments, there’s one whiskered group that’s absolutely mastered the good life.

Cats have sorted the perfect balance between rest and play, they’re experts at setting boundaries, and they’ve somehow managed to become adored without lifting a paw.
Let’s be honest, there’s a lot we could learn from our feline friends!

🔥 Winter Warmth or Hidden Danger? 🔥
Heaters and fireplaces may be cosy for us, but they can pose serious risks for curious paws and twitching whiskers.

⚠️ Here’s what to look out for:
• Open flames & hot surfaces: pets can easily burn themselves.
• Electric heaters: cables may be chewed, causing electric shocks or fires.
• Fireplace embers: can pop out and cause injury.
• Toxic fumes: especially from gas or wood-burning fires.
• Overheating: pets can’t always move away if they’re too warm.

🛑 Always supervise pets around heat sources, and use fireguards or barriers where needed. A warm pet is a happy one, but a safe pet is even better.

🐾 Parasites Don’t Hibernate. Even in Winter! ❄️

Just because it’s chilly outside doesn’t mean your pet is safe from parasites. Fleas, ticks, and worms remain a real threat all year round, even in winter!

🔍 Did you know?
• Fleas can survive and breed indoors all winter thanks to central heating. Outdoors, they only start dying off when temperatures drop below -1°C to 0°C consistently.
• Ticks don’t truly die in winter, they become less active below 4°C, but as soon as the weather warms up for even a day, they become active again. Ticks typically die only in sustained temperatures of -10°C or lower, something we rarely see.

💡 This means your pet could still pick up parasites on a winter walk, a visit to the park, or even from inside your own home.

Don’t skip your pet’s parasite prevention in winter! Year-round protection is the safest way to keep them healthy and itch-free.

Not sure which treatment your pet needs? Call us or pop-in, we’re happy to help.

Myth: Indoor Cats Don’t Need Vet Check-Ups ❌
Truth: They Absolutely Do! ✅

Just because your cat lives indoors doesn’t mean they’re safe from health issues. In fact, many indoor cats can develop problems that go unnoticed without regular check-ups.

Here’s why indoor cats still need routine vet visits:
Hidden Illnesses: Cats are experts at masking pain or discomfort. Conditions such as kidney disease, dental issues, obesity or diabetes often show no obvious signs until they’re quite advanced.

Weight & Diet Monitoring: Indoor cats are often less active, making them more prone to weight gain. Your vet can help manage your cat’s weight and suggest the most suitable diet.

Vaccinations & Parasite Protection: Even indoor cats need protection from viruses and parasites. Fleas, worms and ticks can still find their way indoors via shoes, other pets or visitors.

Preventative Care = Longer Life: Catching problems early means a better quality of life for your cat and often lower vet bills.

Annual vet check-ups help keep your feline friend healthy and happy, and give you peace of mind.

📅 Has it been over a year since your cat last saw the vet? Get them to the vet sooner rather than later!

🐾 Winter Nutrition: Should Your Pet Be Eating More?

Colder weather = more calories? Here’s what you need to know…

As the temperatures drop, you might be wondering if your furry companion needs a bit of extra food to keep warm. ❄️🐶🐱

👉 Yes, and no.
Some pets do burn more energy during winter, particularly if they spend a lot of time outdoors. They may benefit from a slight increase in calories to help maintain body heat. But for indoor pets who tend to be less active in winter, adding more food could lead to unwanted weight gain. 🐾⚖️

Here’s what really matters:
- Keep an eye on their weight and activity levels
- Adjust portion sizes based on their energy needs
- Stick to a high-quality, balanced diet
- Always provide fresh water, hydration is just as important in winter!

Not sure if your pet’s diet needs adjusting this season? Have a chat with your vet. A few small changes can make a big difference in keeping your pet healthy and happy through the colder months. 🐕🐾🐈

🐾 World Pet Memorial Day 🕊️

Today, we take a moment to remember the loyal companions who left paw prints on our hearts. Whether they were with us for a short while or many years, the love our pets gave was unconditional, pure, and unforgettable.

We remember the wagging tails, gentle purrs, happy chirps, and quiet cuddles. The way they greeted us at the door, comforted us through tough times, and brought joy in the smallest moments.

To those grieving a recent loss, we see you. And to those smiling at cherished memories, your love endures. 💛

Please feel free to share a photo or a memory of your beloved pet in the comments. Let’s honour them together. 🌈🐶🐱🐰🐦🐢

Gone from our lives, but never from our hearts. ❤️
