Back to school 📝📚

Has your children’s school made a ‘Class Pet’ suggestion❓

As schools get ready to go back this week, we’re asking everyone to think twice before bringing rabbits into the classroom. 🐰

Rabbits might look like the perfect school pet, but a busy classroom can be a stressful and frightening environment for a prey animal. They need space, companionship, quiet places to hide, and plenty of time to settle into their surroundings.

Regular handling by different children can also be unsettling, and caring for a rabbit properly takes commitment every day, including weekends and school holidays.

There are so many wonderful ways for children to learn about rabbits without keeping one in the classroom.

This school year, help us and put rabbit welfare first. 💜

Does your dogs parasite prevention include protection against Lungworm❓

Lungworm can develop silently, UNTIL they starts to cause some serious health concerns❗️

Prevention is better than cure - Don't leave your dogs toys or water bowl in the garden overnight.
Lungworm can be spread by 🐌 & slugs and their slimy trails.

Regular monthly prevention by drops on the back of the neck or a chew is available from your local practice.

Lungworm prevention is vitally important - That's why we've automatically included it in BOTH of our dog healthcare plans, helping to keep things simple & affordable ➡️ https://www.youngvets.co.uk/services/pet-healthcare-club/

Does Your Dog ……

➡️ Bob their head when walking,
➡️ Lick their joints a lot,
➡️ Take more time to get comfortable,
➡️ Lag behind on walkies,
➡️ Yawn excessively.

All of the above are common signs of discomfort in dogs.
Arthritis in dogs is more common than you might think!

Remember Old Age in itself is not an illness. If your older pup has started to slow down, show less enthusiasm for walkies, struggle with stairs - arthritis could be underlying.

Why not book a consultation for your golden oldie today - Let our team help you, keep your pup comfortable in their senior years.
