🧐 Did You Know?

Cats have a special reflective layer in their eyes called the tapetum lucidum.

That eerie glow in your cat’s eyes at night? 👀 It’s not magic, it’s their tapetum lucidum at work!
This reflective layer enhances night vision by bouncing light back through the retina, helping cats see in low light. Just another reason your feline friend is a master of the night! 🐱🌙

🦷 Why Your Pet’s Breath Stinks (and What It Could Mean) 🐶🐱

That unpleasant whiff when your pet yawns or licks your face? It’s not just a nuisance, it could be a warning sign.

Bad breath in pets is often linked to dental disease, which affects up to 80% of dogs and cats over the age of 3. But it can also point to more serious health concerns, including:
🔸 Gum infections
🔸 Tooth decay or abscesses
🔸 Kidney or liver disease
🔸 Gastrointestinal issues

What to watch out for:
✔️ Persistent bad breath
✔️ Drooling or difficulty eating
✔️ Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
✔️ Loose or missing teeth

🩺 Routine dental checks and proper oral hygiene can help keep your pet healthy and pain-free. Don’t ignore the signs, early intervention makes all the difference!

📅 Bring your pet in for a dental check-up with us today. Your pet’s breath (and health) will thank you.

🐾 Winter Weight Gain in Pets 🐾

As the temperature drops, it’s not just us who feel less inclined to move, our pets do too! Shorter days, colder weather, and fewer walks often lead to less activity and more snacking, which can easily result in winter weight gain.

Keeping your pet at a healthy weight during winter is important for their joints, heart, and overall wellbeing. Here are a few tips to help:
❄️ Stick to a routine: Try to maintain regular feeding and walking schedules.
❄️ Watch the treats: Extra snacks can quickly add up. Use healthy treats or reduce meal portions slightly if treats are given more often.
❄️ Keep them active indoors: Play games, teach new tricks, or use puzzle feeders to keep their minds and bodies engaged.
❄️ Monitor their weight: Weigh your pet monthly or ask your vet for a winter weigh-in.

👉 Does your pet get more treats in winter?

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.
