💙🐾 World Arthritis Day 🐾💙

Did you know that pets can suffer from arthritis too?

Just like us, dogs and cats can develop sore and stiff joints as they get older. But arthritis isn’t just an older pet problem — younger pets can be affected too.

Some signs to look out for include:

🐕 Finding it harder to get up after resting
🐈 Not wanting to jump, climb the stairs or go for walks
🐾 Stiffness or limping, particularly in the morning or after exercise
😿 Changes in behaviour, such as being more irritable or less active

The good news is that there are lots of ways we can help manage arthritis and keep your pet comfortable and enjoying life. This might include weight management, gentle exercise, medication or supplements, physiotherapy and making small changes at home.

💡 If you've noticed any changes in the way your pet moves or behaves, our Yorkshire Vets team is here to help. Book an appointment with us to chat through your concerns and find the right treatment plan for your pet.

Together, we can help keep those tails wagging and paws moving for years to come. 🐾💙

Meet Coco 🐾 🐶

After her morning walk today, Coco seemed really sad and had started shaking her head. Her owners brought her in to see us, and the vet suspected there might be something lurking in her ear!

Coco was admitted for sedation so we could take a closer look. On further examination, a wasp was removed from her ear — ouch! 😖🐝

🐾💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🐾

Today is World Mental Health Day, and we just wanted to share a little reminder that it’s okay not to be okay.

We know how much you love your pets, and we love them too! Our team works hard every day to make sure your furry family members get the care and attention they deserve. But sometimes, in the middle of looking after everyone else, we forget that the people doing the caring need a little care too. 💕

Behind every phone call, message and appointment is a real person. Our vets, nurses and reception team care so much about what they do, and while we’re always grateful for the lovely, kind messages we receive, some words can hurt more than people realise.

We completely understand that worrying about your pet can be stressful, and we’re always here to help. All we ask is that, even on the difficult days, we remember to be kind to one another. A little kindness really can go a long way. 💙

Today, take a moment for yourself, too. Whether that’s going for a walk, having a cuddle with your pet, catching up with a friend or simply taking a breather, make sure you’re looking after yourself as well as those around you. 🐶🐱

And if things are feeling a little overwhelming, please remember that you’re not alone. There’s always someone you can reach out to:

💚 Mind – mind.org.uk⁠
🐾 Vetlife – vetlife.org.uk⁠
💛 Samaritans – samaritans.org⁠

Thank you for being part of our Yorkshire Vets family. We’re so grateful for your support, your kindness and the trust you place in us to care for your pets. 💕

Let’s all try to be a little kinder to ourselves and each other, today and every day

🐾 Pet Obesity Awareness Day 🐾

Today we want to give a huge shoutout to Max! ❤️

Since December 2025, Max has lost a grand total of 8.4kg — and what an achievement that is! 🎉

This kind of progress doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen without commitment. A huge well done to Max’s owners, whose dedication and consistency throughout his weight loss journey has been amazing. 👏

If you’re worried your pet may be carrying a little extra weight, why not book them in for a weight clinic and take the first step towards a healthier, happier pet? 💙

Fireworks can be scary for our pets, so getting them used to the noise beforehand can help. 💥

Try playing this 45-minute video quietly in the background and slowly turn the volume up as they get more comfortable.

New Staff Member✨

Meet Clare🙂

In her free time you will find her at a karate or dance class, watching Bradford City with her Dad and daughter, or cuddling her cats Luna and Matilda.

Clare will soon become a new face at our Horsforth surgery. We hope everyone will join us in welcoming her to the team 🥰
