Behind every rescued, rehabilitated or rehomed pet is a community of dedicated people giving their time, skills and support.

On International Day of Charity, we would like to celebrate the volunteers, foster carers, fundraisers and donors who help animals when they need it most.

Supporting an animal charity does not always mean making a large donation. Walking a rescue dog, sharing an appeal or donating an unused pet bed can all make a meaningful difference.

As routines begin to change, the house may suddenly feel much quieter for our pets.

Some animals can find this adjustment difficult, especially if they have become used to having more company at home. Separation anxiety is particularly common in dogs, and signs may include:

🐾 Pacing or restlessness as you prepare to leave

🐾 Barking or howling when left alone

🐾 Destructive behaviour

🐾 Toileting indoors

🐾 Clinginess or distress when you return

Helping your pet settle into a new routine gradually can make the change feel less overwhelming. Try introducing short periods apart, keeping departures calm and making sure they have a comfortable space to relax.

If your pet is struggling when left alone, please get in touch. We can work with you to find the right support for them.

Gardens can be full of exciting sights and smells, so curious pets may come across nests or hidden wildlife.

Before letting your pet explore, check sheds, long grass, log piles and areas beneath bushes. Supervise dogs around wildlife and consider keeping cats indoors at dawn and dusk, when many garden visitors are most active.

Never encourage your pet to chase or investigate a wild animal. Giving wildlife space protects both the animal and your pet from stress, injury and potential illness.

Has your pet ever discovered an unexpected garden visitor? Tell us below!

Did you know we can perform basic blood work, biochemistry analysis, and urine testing in house? 🩺

Having an in-house laboratory means we can get important information about your pet’s health quickly, helping us investigate illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and make treatment decisions sooner.

These tests can give us a useful early picture of things like hydration, infection, organ function, and urine health, all without the delay of sending samples away.

Did you know we were able to do all of this in-house? 🩸🔬

National Immunisation Awareness Month is a reminder to check that your pet is up to date with their vaccinations. 💉

Our dogs, cats and rabbits all need vaccinations every year to protect them against potentially deadly diseases.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common health conditions seen in older cats. As it develops gradually, early signs can be easy to miss.

Signs to watch out for include:

🐈 Drinking more water than usual

🐈 Urinating more, and more often

🐈 Weight loss

🐈 Reduced appetite

🐈 Vomiting

🐈 Poor coat condition

🐈 Tiredness or hiding more than usual

Diagnosis is based on a physical examination, blood tests to check kidney values, urine testing, blood pressure measurement, and sometimes imaging such as ultrasound.

Though CKD cannot be cured, it can usually be managed to help cats feel better and maintain a good quality of life.

Treatment may include a prescription kidney diet, encouraging water intake, medications, supplements, and regular monitoring with your vet.

If your cat is showing any of these signs, it is worth booking a check-up. Early diagnosis can make a real difference. 💙
