💊🐾 TIPS FOR GIVING YOUR PET MEDICATION AT HOME 🐾💊

Giving medication to your pet can sometimes feel like a challenge! Whether it's a tablet, liquid or topical treatment, here are a few tips to make things easier. ❤️

🐶🐱 Stay calm
Your pet can pick up on your emotions. Choose a quiet area and try to keep the experience as relaxed as possible.

📋 Follow the instructions
Give the medication exactly as prescribed by your vet. Pay attention to the dose, frequency and whether it should be given with food.

⏰ Stick to a routine
Giving medication at around the same time each day can help you remember and make it easier for your pet to get used to the process.

🍗 Ask before hiding medication in food
Some medications can be given with food, but others need to be given on an empty stomach. Always check with your veterinary team before hiding tablets in treats or food.

🚫 Never change the dose yourself
Don't increase, decrease or stop medication early unless your vet has advised you to do so — even if your pet seems much better.

💊 Don't give human medication
Some medicines that are safe for people can be extremely harmful or even toxic to pets.

📝 Keep a record
If you're giving medication several times a day, a simple checklist can help prevent missed or repeated doses.

❤️ Reward good behaviour
If appropriate, give your pet plenty of praise and a suitable treat after medication to help create a positive association.

Having trouble giving medication?
Don't struggle on your own! If you're finding it difficult to give your pet their medication, contact us on 01353 658333. We may be able to demonstrate techniques or discuss alternative formulations where appropriate.

🐾 Medication works best when it's given safely and correctly!

🐱🧠 KEEPING YOUR INDOOR CAT HAPPY & MENTALLY STIMULATED 🧠🐱

Indoor cats can live happy and healthy lives, but they still need opportunities to play, explore, climb and use their natural behaviours. 🐾❤️

Here are some easy ways to keep your feline friend entertained:

🎣 Make time for play
Use interactive toys such as fishing-rod toys to encourage chasing, pouncing and stalking. Short play sessions throughout the day can be great fun!

📦 Never underestimate a cardboard box!
Boxes, paper bags and safe hiding places can provide hours of entertainment and give your cat somewhere to explore or relax.

🧗 Think vertically
Cat trees, shelves and other safe elevated areas allow cats to climb, observe their surroundings and find somewhere quiet to retreat.

🧩 Try puzzle feeders
Instead of always feeding from a bowl, puzzle feeders can encourage your cat to work for some of their food and provide mental stimulation.

👃 Let them explore
Rotate toys and introduce new, safe smells, textures and objects to keep their environment interesting.

🪟 Create a window seat
A secure window perch can provide entertainment as your cat watches the world go by. 🐦👀

🐾 Give them choice
Provide places where your cat can hide, rest and observe. Having control over their environment can help them feel safe and relaxed.

⚠️ Remember: Always supervise new toys initially and remove anything that could be chewed, swallowed or become tangled.

❤️ A happy cat isn't just a well-fed cat — they need enrichment too!

What's your cat's favourite activity? 🐱👇

🐾🩺 HELPING YOUR PET HAVE A LESS STRESSFUL VET VISIT 🩺🐾

For some pets, visiting the practice can be a stressful experience. New smells, unfamiliar people and handling can all feel overwhelming.

There are things you can do to help:

🏠 Start at home
Get your pet comfortable with gentle handling of their paws, ears, mouth and body. Keep sessions short and reward calm behaviour.

🧺 Make the carrier a happy place
For cats and small pets, leave the carrier out at home with the door open and some familiar bedding or treats inside. This can help them see it as a safe space rather than something that only appears before a vet visit.

🚗 Practice car journeys
If your pet only travels in the car to visit the vet, they may learn to associate the journey with something scary. Short, positive journeys can help build confidence.

🦴 Bring their favourite treats
If your pet is happy to eat when they're nervous, tasty treats can help create positive associations with the practice.

👕 Bring something familiar
A favourite blanket or toy can provide a comforting, familiar smell in an unfamiliar environment.

⏰ Allow plenty of time
Try not to rush. Giving yourself enough time to arrive calmly can help reduce stress for both you and your pet.

🐱 Keep cats secure
A covered carrier can help some cats feel safer. Avoid carrying your cat loose into the practice.

❤️ Don't force interaction
If your pet is frightened, allow them time and space to settle. Our team can work with you to make their experience as comfortable as possible.

🐾 If your pet is particularly nervous...
Let our team know when booking your appointment. We may be able to arrange quieter appointment times, discuss ways to prepare your pet before their visit, or make other adjustments to help reduce stress.

Remember, there's no such thing as a "silly" worry when it comes to your pet's wellbeing. ❤️

🐶🐱 Together, we can help make veterinary visits a more positive experience!

🎃🍫 HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE & PETS — KEEP THE TREATS OUT OF PAWS' REACH! 🐾

Halloween means lots of chocolate and sweets in our homes — but what is a tasty treat for us can be dangerous for our pets.

🍫 Chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats.

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which pets process differently from people. The risk depends on factors such as the type and amount of chocolate eaten and the size of your pet.

⚠️ Dark chocolate, cocoa powder and baking chocolate generally contain higher levels of theobromine and can pose a greater risk.

👀 Keep an eye out for signs such as:
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
💧 Increased thirst
💓 Restlessness or a fast heartbeat
😰 Panting or agitation
🫨 Tremors
⚠️ Seizures in severe cases

How can you keep your pet safe?
🍫 Keep Halloween treats securely out of reach.
👧 Make sure children know not to share chocolate with pets.
🗑️ Remember that wrappers and packaging can also cause problems if swallowed.
🐶 Don't leave bowls of sweets where curious pets can reach them.

🚨 If your pet eats chocolate, don't wait for symptoms to appear.

Contact us as soon as possible and tell us what was eaten, approximately how much, what type of chocolate it was and when it was eaten. Keep the packaging if possible, as this can help us assess the situation.

❤️ A little preparation can help make sure Halloween is a treat for everyone — including our four-legged family members!
