A healthy cat's breath shouldn't clear the room. 😮‍💨 Persistent bad breath is most often caused by dental disease, including gingivitis, periodontal disease, and painful tooth resorption, which affects many cats. 🦷 It can also signal problems elsewhere in the body, such as kidney disease or diabetes.

Because cats are experts at hiding pain, smelly breath may be the only clue. 🐱 If your cat's breath has turned foul, book a check-up so we can find the cause.

Water additives can be a helpful addition to your dog's dental care routine, with some products shown to reduce plaque and freshen breath. 💧 However, they're a supporting act, not the star. Nothing replaces daily tooth brushing and professional dental care. 🪥

Look for products carrying the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal, which means they've been independently tested for effectiveness. 🔎 Unsure which products are worthwhile? Ask us for a recommendation.

Dogs who love chewing balls, sticks, or bones often wear their teeth down over time. Slow, gradual wear may be harmless, as the tooth can protect itself by laying down extra dentine. 🦷

Rapid wear, however, can expose the sensitive pulp, causing pain and infection, often with no obvious signs. ⚠️ If your dog's teeth look flattened, have dark centres, or are chipped, book a dental check.

Swapping abrasive toys like tennis balls for softer chews helps prevent further damage. 🎾

An outdoor doghouse can provide shelter from wind and rain, but it is rarely adequate in very cold conditions unless insulated. Dogs left outside overnight may risk hypothermia, with puppies, seniors, and short-coated breeds especially at risk on freezing nights. ❄️

Bringing your dog indoors during cold snaps, even just to the laundry, can help keep them warm. If they must stay outside, ensure their shelter is insulated, dry, and draught-free. 🐾

Contact our clinic if you're concerned about keeping your dog warm and safe this winter.

Unfortunately, large and giant-breed, deep-chested dogs can be at particular risk of developing a life-threatening condition known as GDV. ⚠️

GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), or bloat, occurs when the pet’s stomach twists and then swells with gas. As well as being highly painful, affected dogs can become suddenly and severely unwell with symptoms of shock (poor blood flow), breathing difficulties and organ damage, and usually require emergency surgery.

If your dog is of a predisposed breed, we’d recommend having a chat with our vets regarding symptoms to watch for and measures for GDV prevention, including the option of gastropexy surgery to prevent stomach twisting. 🐾
