Winter can be a stressful time for some pets.

Changes in routine, spending more time indoors, storms, travel, or recovery from illness can all contribute to anxiety and stress-related behaviours.

Royal Canin Calm is specially formulated to help support emotional wellbeing, digestive health, and skin health during periods of stress. It may be beneficial for pets that experience anxiety, excessive grooming, nervousness, digestive upsets, or difficulty adapting to change.

If your pet struggles with stress or anxiety, speak to our team about whether Royal Canin Calm could help keep them comfortable this winter.

Bad breath isn’t normal!

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats, and many pets show signs by the age of three.

Bad breath isn’t just a nuisance — it can be a sign of underlying dental disease. Left untreated, dental problems can cause pain, infection, tooth loss, and may even affect your pet’s overall health.

Keep an eye out for the warning signs and contact our team if you have any concerns about your pet’s dental health.

Cats are experts at hiding pain.

Arthritis and joint discomfort are more common in cats than many owners realise. Signs can be subtle and may include:
• Jumping less often
• Difficulty climbing stairs or onto furniture
• Sleeping more than usual
• Becoming less playful
• Changes in grooming habits

GCS Joint Care is a tasty daily supplement designed to support healthy joints, cartilage, and mobility in cats. It can help keep your feline friend comfortable and active as they age.

If you’ve noticed changes in your cat’s movement or activity levels, speak to our team about whether GCS Joint Care may be a suitable option.

Happy 4th Birthday, Fleur!

Little Fleur spent his birthday visiting us. He had some itchy skin and sore ears, and has started treatment to help him feel much more comfortable again.

At just 2.3kg, this tiny little Yorkie was incredibly brave during his visit.

We hope your special day was filled with lots of cuddles, treats, and tail wags.

Happy Birthday, Fleur!

Sussie came to see Dr for a follow-up appointment, and we’re happy to say her eyes are looking much better.

She also had another area checked during her visit, and we’ll continue to monitor her progress closely moving forward.

Sussie sat proudly on the waiting room bench in her harness, watching everything happening around her.

We hope she continues to recover well and feel more comfortable soon.
