Today is National Wildlife Day! It’s a time to celebrate and protect the incredible animals that share our planet.

Whether it's the foxes in our fields, the birds in our back gardens, or the hedgehogs visiting our lawns, wildlife plays a vital role in our ecosystem.
As animal lovers, we know how important it is to support conservation efforts and promote peaceful coexistence with nature.

Our care extends beyond our beloved pets to the wild creatures who share our world. We're incredibly proud to help the local wildlife brought into our hospital, giving them a second chance at life!

We will always provide emergency first aid, care, and pain relief to injured or sick wildlife. Once stable, we work hand-in-hand with fantastic local rescue services, who take over their recuperation before they are safely re-released back into their natural habitats.

This vital work is powered by the incredible generosity of your contributions. Your support truly makes a difference to all creatures, great and small, in our community. Thank you!

We have a collection tin in reception for cash donations, and we can also accept card and BACS payments, just speak to a member of staff!!

🍂🐾 Autumn hazards every dog owner should know! 🌰🐶

As the weather cools down and crisp leaves fill our local parks, autumn walks are lovely, but they do come with a few seasonal hazards for our four-legged friends!

Watch our quick video and take a look at the 7 key autumn hazards to keep an eye out for on your walks this season:

🍄 Wild mushrooms: Damp autumn weather causes wild mushrooms to sprout everywhere. Some species are highly toxic even in tiny amounts.

🌰 Conkers and acorns: Ingesting conkers or acorns can cause severe stomach upset, and they pose a serious risk of choking or intestinal blockage.

🌽 Corn on the bob: Leftover cobs from roasts or BBQs do not break down in the stomach and are a very common cause of dangerous blockages.

🍂 Leaf piles: Fun as they are to jump into, damp leaf piles can conceal sharp objects, litter, broken glass, or harmful mould and fungi.

🧂 Road salt and grit: As the frosty mornings begin, road grit can irritate paw pads and be harmful if licked off during grooming.

🐀 Rat poison: Rodenticides are used far more frequently as pests move indoors during cooler weather. Ensure your pet cannot access these bait stations.

🌘 Reduced daylight: Shorter days mean more walks in the dark. Equipping your dog with reflective collars, hi-vis coats, or clip-on lights helps keep them visible and safe.

⚠️ DON'T WAIT FOR SYMPTOMS!
If you suspect or know your dog has ingested something they shouldn’t have, please contact us straight away. Early action makes all the difference!

🧡 Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! 🐾

Today is all about celebrating our wonderful ginger feline friends and the incredible character, warmth, and fun they bring into our lives!

Whether they are sweet and affectionate, full of playful mischief, or living up to their reputation for quirky "ginger cat energy," marmalade moggies hold a very special place in our hearts. 🧡

🧬 Did you know that roughly 80% of ginger cats are male?

The gene that produces their vibrant orange color is carried on the X chromosome. Since female cats need two copies of the ginger gene (one from each parent) to be fully ginger, while males only need one from their mother, our marmalade friends are far more likely to be handsome boys! 🐈‍⬛

We would love to fill our comment section with a sea of orange today!

Drop a photo of your gorgeous ginger cat in the comments below, tell us their name, and share their most unique or funny personality quirk! 📸

🛑 Week 5: Skin myths, busted! 🙅

We’ve reached the last day of Itchy Pet Awareness Month! To wrap up our month-long series with Dermatology Vet Jamie Tapping, we’re tackling some of the biggest skin and allergy myths we hear in the clinic.

When it comes to pet skin health, internet "hacks" and well-meaning advice can sometimes do more harm than good. Let’s set the record straight on a few common ones:

🔍 3 common pet skin myths - busted!
❌ Myth 1: "Coconut oil can treat mange and skin parasites."
👉 Reality: Coconut oil does not cure mange or eliminate skin mites; it only coats the skin and delays proper, effective Veterinary treatment, allowing the infestation to get worse.

❌ Myth 2: "Hot spots are minor and will clear up if you just wait them out."
👉 Reality: A hot spot (acute moist dermatitis) is painful and can escalate dramatically within just a few hours. Early treatment prevents a minor patch from spreading into a severe, widespread infection.

❌ Myth 3: "Going grain-free will fix my pet’s skin allergies."
👉 Reality: True food allergies in pets are actually far more commonly triggered by specific proteins (such as chicken, beef, or dairy) rather than grains! Switching to grain-free without a proper diet trial rarely solves the underlying issue.

💛 "That’s Just How They Are..."
If you’ve caught yourself thinking your pet’s red paws, smelly ears, or constant nibbling is "just how they are," we have good news - it doesn’t have to be!
In almost every case, persistent itching and sore skin are caused by an underlying condition that we can diagnose and treat to get them comfortable again.

🩺 Ready to get your pet comfortable?
Thank you for following along with our Itchy Pet Awareness Month series! If your pet is struggling with ongoing skin or ear issues, our team is here to help.
