Back to work? Back to school? It can be a big adjustment for our pets, too 🏡📚

If your dog or cat has become used to having everyone at home over the summer, they may struggle with being left alone again. Signs of separation anxiety can include barking, destructive behaviour, toileting indoors, pacing or becoming withdrawn.

Try introducing short periods alone gradually, leave enrichment toys to keep them occupied, and avoid making arrivals and departures a big event.

If you're concerned your pet is finding it difficult to cope, we're here to help.

Did you know that many pets live with chronic pain without showing obvious signs?

Dogs and cats are experts at hiding discomfort, so subtle changes like slowing down on walks, reluctance to jump, stiffness after resting, or changes in behaviour could all be signs that they’re hurting.

We’re passionate about helping pets enjoy the best possible quality of life. Alongside medical pain management, we offer a range of therapies that can make a real difference, including:

✨ Physiotherapy: Tailored rehabilitation programmes to improve mobility, build strength, and support recovery after injury or surgery.

💡 Laser Therapy: A gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain and inflammation while promoting healing in muscles, joints, and soft tissues.

🩹 Stem Cell Therapy & Regenerative Medicine: Innovative treatments that harness the body’s natural healing abilities to help repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function. These therapies can be particularly beneficial for pets living with conditions such as arthritis or chronic orthopaedic injuries.

Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or simply isn’t moving like they used to, our team can create a personalised treatment plan to help them stay active and comfortable.

If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s movement or behaviour, don’t assume it’s “just old age.” Pain can often be managed, helping your companion enjoy life for years to come.

Get in touch with our team to find out how we can help your pet feel their best.

Jac was back to see Dr Alice for her monthly Cytopoint injection - although she was far more interested in keeping tabs on everything happening out on Chiswick High Road! 👀

It’s especially lovely to see Jac doing so well, as she recently had a nasty tumour, around the size of a clementine, removed from the inside of her right elbow.

Thankfully, she’s recovered beautifully, and her fur is growing back nicely - although in a slightly different shade than before!

We’re very happy to see you looking so well, Jac ❤️

Handsome Maverick was recently in with us for a comprehensive dental workup 🦷

As part of his treatment, we took full dental X-rays, which allowed us to identify dental disease that wasn’t visible just by looking inside his mouth.

Much of a pet’s tooth sits below the gumline, which means dental problems can sometimes be hidden from view. Dental X-rays help us see what’s happening beneath the surface and make sure any problems are properly identified and treated.

Maverick’s visit is a great reminder of just how valuable regular dental checkups and thorough dental workups can be in keeping our pets’ mouths healthy and comfortable.

Thank you for being such a superstar, Maverick! ❤️

Happy 7th Birthday, Pepper! 🎉🥳

Pepper was in for his physio session yesterday, just in time to tell us about his big birthday today! 🫶🏻

He’s been working incredibly hard with his physio this year and has also lost a fantastic amount of weight to help with his conditioning and mobility. In fact, we think that rather loose harness might be a sign that a new one is in order for his birthday! 🎁🐾

Well done, Pepper - and we hope you’re thoroughly spoilt today! ❤️

It’s National Dog Day!

Today is about the dogs we see every day in our clinics. The familiar faces, the new patients, and the ones who have been with us for years.

🐾 The nervous first-visit puppies who now walk in like they own the place.
🐾 The older dogs who know exactly where the treat jar is.
🐾 The energetic ones who can identify their favourite team member!
🐾 And the quiet ones who prefer a gentle hello and a bit of space.

Every one of them has their own personality, their own story, and their own place in the Wolfe Vets community.

We’re privileged to be part of their care, from first vaccinations to senior check-ups, and everything in between.

Happy National Dog Day to all the dogs who make our days better just by being in them 🐶

Julian visited our Chiswick practice to undergo a CT scan last week ✨

As you can see, the CT scan wasn’t scary at all. Julian spent most of her time enjoying cuddles with our team and even enjoying a little toilet break outside 🥰

For any pet owner who finds leaving their pet with us worrying, this is a little insight of the love, care and attention they receive.

⬇️ 💬If your pet loves visiting, comment below! We would love to hear from you 🤍

What does being an independent veterinary practice mean for you and your pet?

One of the biggest advantages is clinical freedom.

As an independent practice, our vets are empowered to make decisions based on what they genuinely believe is best for each individual patient. There are no corporate protocols dictating treatment choices or referral pathways. Instead, we can tailor recommendations around your pet’s needs, your circumstances and the most appropriate clinical options available.

Being independent also allows us to make decisions quickly. Whether it’s investing in new equipment, introducing innovative treatments, adapting our services or responding to patient needs, we don’t need approval from a distant head office.

Most importantly, it means we’re able to build long-term relationships with our clients and patients, delivering personalised care from a team that truly knows you and your pet.

It’s veterinary care shaped by local people, for local pets.

What do you value most about an independent vet practice?

"But my cat seems absolutely fine..." 🤔

It's something we hear regularly, and often it's true. However, cats are incredibly skilled at hiding signs of pain and illness.

By the time symptoms become obvious, many conditions may already be well established. That's why routine health checks are so important, even when your cat appears happy and healthy.

Routine veterinary check-ups help us detect subtle changes that owners may not notice at home, giving us the opportunity to investigate concerns earlier and support long-term health. And don’t forget - if your cat is a member of The Wolfe Pack, unlimited consultations are included, so you never need to worry about whether to book an appointment or not.

As an ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic, we're committed to making every feline visit as stress-free as possible. This National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, give your feline friend the benefit of a professional health assessment from our cat-friendly team. 💙

Longer days and warmer weather often mean cats spend more time outside and tend to range further from home.

With that increased outdoor time comes more interaction with other cats, particularly in overlapping territories.

These encounters can lead to bite wounds, which are often small on the surface but can develop into abscesses over the following days.

Because cats are territorial and injuries may not be immediately visible, the first signs owners notice are often changes in behaviour, such as reduced appetite, hiding, or appearing less active.

If your cat is venturing further and spending more time outdoors, it’s worth keeping a close eye on any subtle changes that could indicate an underlying injury.

If you’re ever unsure, it’s always best to have them checked.

Wolfe Vets is a brand new independently owned, small animal veterinary practice in Chiswick offering an exceptional standard of round the clock care, treatment and facilities, as well as all the routine consultations, health checks and procedures expected at a family vets.
