As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions. Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.

Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and living environment, especially during the warmer months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or unusual behaviour.

Prevention is key. Ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry, and consider using flystrike prevention methods that we can recommend.

If you suspect flystrike, seek immediate veterinary assistance. Early detection and treatment are crucial.

And don't forget that, on our Rabbit Pet Health Plan, as well as an annual vaccination and a full annual health check, you will receive 25% off your preventative flystrike treatment.

For further information, please do give us a call.

WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TICKS...THERE ARE SOME BIG ONES AROUND!

With the unseasonably warm weather, we have also seen some unreasonably large ticks! These little critters are having a field day out there, and it is important to protect your pets (not to mention your humans) when there are so many around.

Ticks are parasites that attach to a dog’s skin and feed on their blood. They are small, red-brown parasites that become grey after feeding on your dog. They can vary in size, from just visible with the naked eye up to about 1 cm.

As they feed on your dog’s blood, they expand (a bit like a balloon), and this is often when you are more likely to notice them.

Not only is this unpleasant for your dog, but ticks can also carry certain potentially serious diseases. Some of these infections, such as Lyme disease and babesiosis, can be serious.

Live ticks should be removed promptly – you can do this yourself if you are confident in the correct technique, or you can contact us for help.

And if you would like more information about the best preventative products for ticks, please give us a call.

Today marks the official end of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, and we have spent that time reflecting on the vital and varied role of the veterinary nurse, the amazing range of skills they hold, and the job that they all do so professionally.

We have also introduced our nursing team to you, most of whom you know very well. So to end the month, we just wanted to share a bit more about our Practice Manager, Beth, who is in fact a Registered Veterinary Nurse. The fact that Beth is now our Practice Manager demonstrates in itself the potential of a career in veterinary nursing.

Beth started nursing in 2000 and joined the Alfold Vets team in 2009. In 2021, she became the Practice Manager and she runs the practice and the entire team on a day to day basis.

She and her husband have three teenage children a large, daft dog called Roxy, and an even dafter spaniel called Bee. She enjoys spending time with her family and wild swimming in her spare time.

It's amazing how many plates Beth can juggle at one time, whilst always ensuring that our clients get the very best in customer care.

As we draw to the end of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, we wanted to let you know a little bit more about the newest member of our nursing team, Emily.

Emily is our Student Veterinary Nurse, and is studying and training hard to become a fully qualified veterinary nurse. Supported and supervised by our experienced team of nurses, Emily is learning from the best.

As an animal lover all of her life, Emily is achieving her dream of a career as a veterinary nurse. She previously worked in animal rescue and runs her own pet care business. She also worked as an animal care assistant at Anderson Abercromby Referrals, and with autistic children.

In her in her own time she loves spending time with her family, pets, horse riding and DIY!

You're doing a great job Emily.

A, you're adorable....B, you're a puppy in a washing basket!!!! It doesn't come much cuter than this. So we just had to share! 💕

This is Daisy, an eight week old golden retriever who we know you are all going to be delighted to meet! Look at those eyes!

Daisy was in for her first set of puppy vaccinations this week.

Vaccinating your puppy is a crucial part of keeping them healthy to protect them from some potentially life-threatening diseases. It also stops them from passing these dangerous infections onto other dogs.

You should keep your puppy inside and away for unvaccinated dogs until it has been fully vaccinated.

Puppies can be vaccinated from six to eight weeks old when they will have their primary vaccination. They will then need a second vaccination 4 weeks later.

All dogs will needs ‘booster’ vaccination 12 months after the second vaccination and every year thereafter to maintain their immunity.

Puppy vaccinations are designed to give protection against:

• Canine Distemper
• Canine Adenovirus
• Canine Parvovirus
• Leptospirosis

If you are planning to get a puppy or are lucky enough to already have one, and need any further advice or information, please do not hesitate to give us a call or drop us an email.

We thought you might all be interested in meeting Beau.

Beau is a very unusual breed indeed - a curly coated retriever - and we were delighted to meet her today especially as she is a breed that is becoming increasingly rare.

Curly coated retrievers are listed by the Kennel Club as one of the top 5 most vulnerable native UK dog breeds, alongside the otterhound, the sky terrier, the glen of inmaal terrier and the field spaniel.

These vulnerable native breeds are defined by having fewer than 300 new puppies registered with the Kennel Club annually. Unfortunately, some breeds have numbers so low that extinction could be imminent.

Raising awareness of these vulnerable breeds is one of the best ways that we can help to save them, so we were delighted to share the lovely Beau with you today.

And if you know anyone with a curly coated retriever, or any other of the vulnerable native breeds, we'd love to know.
