🔥 Just to reassure everyone…

You may have seen the post circulating on social media saying that we were on fire. We’re very pleased to confirm that all staff and patients are safe and well — it was a false alarm and there was no fire at the practice.

Thank you to everyone who checked in, messaged, and showed their concern. We really appreciate it!

And, of course, Finn absolutely loved all the fuss and was more than happy to be the centre of attention! 🐾

Please don’t worry — all is well at the practice and it’s business as usual. 💙

Summer is here, and while we’re enjoying the sunshine, it’s important to remember that some seasonal favourites can be dangerous for our pets.

———

Common summer toxins for dogs and cats include:
🌸 Lilies (extremely toxic to cats—even small amounts can cause kidney failure)
🍇 Grapes, raisins, currants & sultanas
🍫 Chocolate
🌽 Corn cobs
🧅 Onions, garlic, chives & leeks
🥑 Avocado
🍺 Alcohol
🍬 Xylitol (found in sugar-free gum, sweets, peanut butter and some baked goods)
🧴 Sunscreen containing zinc oxide or salicylates
🐌 Slug and snail pellets
🌿 Fertilisers, w**d killers and pesticides
🧼 BBQ lighter fluid, charcoal and cleaning products
🌊 Blue-green algae in lakes and ponds
🍄 Wild mushrooms
🐝 Bee and wasp stings (especially if your pet has an allergic reaction)

If you think your pet has eaten or been exposed to something toxic:
🐾 Stay calm.
🐾 Remove any remaining substance if safe to do so.
🐾 Contact us immediately—don’t wait for symptoms to appear.
🐾 Never induce vomiting unless specifically instructed by a veterinary professional.

———

A little extra care can help keep our furry friends safe all summer long. ❤️🐶🐱
