🎆 Firework season is approaching… let’s help our furry friends feel safe and comfortable! 🐾

🏠 Create a safe space
Set up a quiet, comfortable area indoors where your pet can retreat and feel secure. Include their favourite bed, blankets and toys, and let them settle there whenever they need to.

📺 Reduce the noise
Close windows, doors and curtains to help muffle the sound and block out flashes of light. Playing the TV, radio or calming music can also help distract your pet from the noise outside.

🌿 Consider calming products
Calming pheromone products, such as Pet Remedy, may help reduce stress and anxiety in some pets. Starting these products before fireworks begin can be beneficial. We offer a Pet Remedy firework kit that includes a diffuser, a spray and wipes to help reduce stress and anxiety.

🐶 Stay calm and reassuring
Your pet may look to you for reassurance, so try to remain calm and relaxed. Allow them to hide or stay close to you if they choose, and never force them out of their safe space.

💚 Need some extra help?
If you're concerned about your pet's anxiety around fireworks, please get in touch with us. Our veterinary team is here to offer advice and discuss the options available to help keep your pet as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Let's make fireworks season a little less frightening for our four-legged friends. 🐾❤️

🚨 Important Announcement from Blake Vets! 🚨

We are delighted to share that, from 8:00am on Monday 19th October, all Blake Vets out of hours services will be returning to our Showground Road Practice!

This marks a significant and exciting milestone for us, and we are thrilled to be welcoming Vets Now to our team as our new out of hours provider.

One of the greatest benefits of this change is that pets requiring overnight hospitalisation or emergency care will have access to an experienced team of dedicated emergency and critical care clinicians throughout the night, providing continuous monitoring, treatment, and expert care should the unexpected happen.

As we look forward to this exciting new chapter, we would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the team at Somerset Veterinary Emergency Clinic for the care and support they have provided to our clients and patients over the past few years. Their dedication has been greatly appreciated. From 19th October, however, all out of hours calls for Blake Vets clients will be directed to the new Vets Now team based at Showground Road. Just call our usual number.

There will be more information to follow over the coming weeks, but we were simply too excited not to share this fantastic news with you all!

🐾 A new chapter for Blake Vets, our patients, and our local veterinary community. We can't wait to welcome you.

Do you know which vaccinations your cat needs, and when they need them?

Vaccinations help protect cats against serious infectious diseases and are an important part of routine preventative care. Keeping them up to date also gives your veterinary team a chance to review your cat’s health and make sure their vaccination schedule is right for them.

Our helpful vaccination guide explains what to expect and when your cat may need their vaccinations.
