⚡🐰 Here comes Thunder! 🐰⚡

Another handsome bunny has been visiting us recently for his castration — meet lovely Thunder! 💚

Rabbits are incredibly social animals and thrive with the companionship of their own kind. But did you know neutering is often an essential step towards successful bonding?

🐾 Neutering helps reduce hormone-driven territorial behaviour and fighting.

🐾 It prevents unwanted pregnancies.

🐾 It allows male and female rabbits to live together safely once the male is no longer fertile.

Female rabbits benefit enormously from spaying too, particularly because of the high risk of uterine cancer as they get older.

Remember, male rabbits can remain fertile for up to 6 weeks after castration, so introductions need careful planning!

Thinking about finding your bunny a friend? Speak to our team about neutering and safe bonding. 🐰🐰

🦎🐍 Reptile Awareness Day – Fascinating pets, BIG responsibilities! 🐢💚

From tiny geckos to giant snakes, tortoises and colourful lizards, reptiles are some of the most incredible animals we have the privilege of treating!

But did you know they're also some of the most misunderstood pets when it comes to their care?

Reptiles aren't simply pets you can pop in a tank and feed occasionally. Each species has highly specialised needs, and getting these wrong can lead to serious illness, suffering and even premature death.

🌡️ Temperature and humidity – Every species requires specific conditions to regulate their body temperature, metabolism and health.

☀️ Lighting – Appropriate UVB exposure is essential for many species, particularly for bone health.

🥬 Diet – From herbivores to insectivores and carnivores, nutritional needs vary enormously!

🏡 Substrate and housing – The wrong flooring, enclosure size or environment can cause injuries, impaction, stress and behavioural problems.

🩺 Health – Metabolic bone disease, retained shed, nutritional deficiencies, respiratory infections and reproductive problems are just some of the conditions we encounter.

💚 Thinking of getting a reptile?

PLEASE do your research first! Reptiles are not inexpensive or low-maintenance pets. Suitable enclosures, heating, lighting, specialist equipment, food and veterinary care can be costly, and many species live for decades.

An impulse purchase can become a lifelong responsibility!

Here at Vets for Pets Cleveland Park, our experienced exotics vet Andy has a passion for these amazing creatures. 🦎

We offer:
🐢 Bespoke reptile health consultations
🐍 Husbandry and nutritional clinics
🦎 Specialist investigations and treatment
🏡 Advice on creating the right environment

Whether you're an experienced keeper, considering your first reptile or concerned about your pet, we're here to help!

📞 Call 01642 431940 to book with Andy.

Let's celebrate reptiles by giving them the understanding, respect and specialist care they deserve! 💚

🎆🐱 Fireworks Season – Don't Forget Our Feline Friends! 🐾

With Diwali and Bonfire Night approaching, we've been talking about helping dogs cope with fireworks. But what about our cats?

Cats are masters at hiding stress, and while some seem completely unfazed, others can become terrified by the sudden bangs, vibrations and flashes. 😿

Here are some simple ways to help keep them safe. 💚

🏠 Keep them indoors!
Bring outdoor cats inside well before dusk, before fireworks are likely to start. Keep cat flaps locked, windows closed and curtains drawn. Even confident cats can panic and bolt when frightened.

🐾 Check their microchip!
Make sure your cat is microchipped and your contact details are up to date. A frightened cat can travel surprisingly far if they escape!

🛏️ Let them hide!
Provide cosy hiding spots, covered beds, cardboard boxes or access to their favourite quiet room. Cats often feel safer somewhere elevated or enclosed. NEVER force them out of hiding.

🌿 Consider calming diffusers!
Feline pheromone diffusers may help some cats feel more secure in their environment. Ideally, start using them before firework season rather than waiting until your cat is distressed.

🎵 Mask the noise!
Keep curtains closed, lights on and play gentle background music, television or radio to help soften unexpected bangs.

❤️ Respect their space!
Some cats want reassurance, others prefer solitude. Let them choose. Make sure food, water and litter trays remain easily accessible.

⚠️ Watch for hidden stress!
Reduced appetite, hiding, overgrooming, inappropriate toileting or changes in behaviour can all indicate anxiety. Stress can also contribute to urinary problems in susceptible cats.

💊 If your cat really struggles, please speak to us. Veterinary-approved supplements, medication and tailored advice may help.

Let's make firework season a little less frightening for our feline friends! 🐱💚

🐶✨ Scout's sparkling smile! 🦷

Another gorgeous patient showing off the benefits of professional dental care!

Lovely Scout recently joined us for dental treatment, and we've got some fantastic before-and-after photos to share. 💚

Did you know that dental disease doesn't happen overnight?

Plaque gradually hardens into tartar, bacteria accumulate around the gumline and, without intervention, inflammation can progress to painful periodontal disease and tooth loss.

The good news? There's plenty we can do to help!

🪥 Daily toothbrushing with pet-safe toothpaste
🦷 Regular dental examinations
🐾 Professional scale and polish procedures when appropriate
💚 Early treatment of diseased or damaged teeth

And remember, a scale and polish isn't just about making teeth look pretty — it's about protecting your pet's comfort and long-term health.

We offer fixed-price dental packages to give owners greater peace of mind when planning treatment.

🐾 ⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER – WAITING ROOM SAFETY ⚠️ 🐾

Following several frightening near misses, including a dog fight, a dog escaping into the car park and cats arriving without carriers, we need to remind everyone of our safety rules.

These incidents are preventable but could have devastating consequences. Please help us protect ALL our patients. 💚

🐶 DOGS MUST BE ON SECURE LEADS

This is NOT optional, regardless of how friendly or well-trained your dog is.

Please ensure collars and harnesses fit securely and keep your dog close and under control. NEVER allow them to approach another patient without permission.

Some animals are frightened, reactive, unwell or in pain. Even the friendliest dog can react unpredictably in stressful situations.

🐱 CATS & SMALL ANIMALS MUST BE IN CARRIERS

Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles and other small pets MUST arrive in secure, suitable carriers or enclosures.

Carrying a cat in your arms or bringing a rabbit on a harness is NOT a safe alternative!

Even calm pets can panic, escape or suffer serious injuries when frightened.

🐾 MUZZLES ARE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF!

A properly fitted muzzle can help keep everyone safe. Responsible precautions are encouraged, never judged.

💚 PLEASE RESPECT OUR TEAM

If a colleague asks you to secure your pet, use a carrier or give another patient space, please cooperate respectfully.

These requests are not personal or optional. Our team is simply protecting the animals entrusted to our care.

We operate a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy towards abusive, aggressive or threatening behaviour. Nobody deserves hostility for doing their job.

We would much rather have an awkward conversation about a lead or carrier than face the heartbreak of a preventable injury or lost pet.

Thank you for helping us keep our practice safe for all creatures, great and small. 💚

🎉👑 Boss's Day AND my birthday?! Well, that's convenient! 😂🎂

Apparently, Friday 16th October is National Boss's Day... which just happens to fall on my birthday!

Coincidence? I think not. 😏

Joking aside, I wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to the incredible team at Vets for Pets Cleveland Park. 💚

Being the boss is made infinitely easier when you're surrounded by such a brilliant bunch of people. Every day, I see the professionalism, compassion, dedication and sheer hard work that goes into caring for our patients and their families.

From the challenging cases and emotional days to the laughs, cuddles and occasional complete chaos that comes with veterinary life, you all give so much of yourselves to make our practice what it is.

I'm incredibly proud of the team we've built and genuinely grateful to work alongside such talented, caring people. 🥰

So, while Boss's Day might technically be about appreciating the boss, I think it's only fair to recognise that a boss is only as good as the team behind them... and mine are pretty spectacular! 💚🐾

Now, about that birthday cake... 🎂👀🤣

🐰💙 Bluey's big day! 💙🐰

Gorgeous Bluey recently joined us for his castration, and we couldn't resist sharing this little cutie with you! 🥰

Did you know neutering rabbits isn't just about preventing unwanted babies?

🐾 Castration can help reduce urine spraying, mounting and hormone-driven aggression.

🐾 It can make bonding with other rabbits easier, allowing them to enjoy the companionship they naturally crave.

🐾 It also removes the risk of testicular cancer.

And for the girls? Spaying prevents potentially life-threatening uterine disease, including uterine cancer, which is particularly common in older unspayed does.

Neutering is an important part of responsible rabbit ownership, and our team is always happy to help you make the right decision for your bunny.
📞 Call us on 01642 431940 too book in or find out more.

Well done, Bluey! 💚

🐾⚖️ Pet Obesity Awareness Day – A Healthy Weight Means a Healthier Life! ❤️

A few extra pounds might not seem like much, but for our pets, they can make a HUGE difference!

Obesity isn't just about appearance. Excess weight puts additional strain on the heart, joints and other organs, increasing the risk of arthritis, diabetes and other serious health problems. 🐶🐱🐰

As our pets get older, their metabolism, mobility and nutritional needs change. Keeping them at a healthy weight can mean:

❤️ Better heart health and stamina

🦴 Less pressure on painful or ageing joints

🐕 Improved mobility and quality of life

⏳ A longer, healthier life together

💷 Fewer weight-related health problems and potentially lower vet bills!

And the good news? It's never too late to make a difference! 💚

🥗 Need a helping paw? Our experienced veterinary nurses offer bespoke nutrition and weight management clinics!

We'll work with you to create a realistic, achievable plan tailored to YOUR pet, including:

🐾 Diet and appropriate food choices

🐾 Portion sizes, treats and feeding routines

🐾 Safe, suitable exercise plans

🐾 Regular weight checks and ongoing support

No judgement, no crash diets — just practical advice, encouragement and a healthier future for your pet. ❤️

📞 Call Vets for Pets Cleveland Park, Middlesbrough on 01642 431940 to book your pet's weight management appointment.

Let's help our pets live longer, move easier and enjoy every moment of their golden years! 🐾

🎆🐶 Firework Season Survival Guide – Helping Your Dog Feel Safe! 🐾

With Diwali and Bonfire Night approaching, now is the time to prepare your dog for those unexpected bangs and flashes!

For dogs with noise phobias, fireworks can be absolutely terrifying. 😢 Thankfully, there are lots of ways to help them feel safer. 💚

🐕 Walk before dark!
Exercise your dog earlier in the day, before fireworks are likely to begin. A good sniffy walk provides valuable mental stimulation too!

🔒 Safety first!
Even confident dogs can bolt when frightened. Use a secure, well-fitting harness and lead, avoid off-lead walks and check microchip details are current. Don't forget hi-vis accessories for those darker evenings!

🏠 Create a safe haven!
Provide a cosy refuge away from windows. A covered crate, den or favourite hiding spot can offer reassurance. Let your dog choose where they feel safest and NEVER force them out.

🎵 Turn up the tunes!
Background noise can help mask sudden bangs. Some radio stations even offer special firework-night programmes! Research suggests classical and certain types of rock music may help dogs relax. Keep the volume comfortable.

🪟 Shut out the flashes!
Close curtains, keep lights on and offer familiar bedding, toys or a favourite chew.

❤️ Be their safe person!
Contrary to popular belief, comforting a frightened dog DOESN'T reinforce fear! If they seek reassurance, give it. Stay calm and let them choose whether to cuddle or hide.

💊 Need extra help?
Veterinary-approved calming supplements, prescription medication or tailored behaviour support can make a huge difference. Don't wait until your dog is already panicking!

Our Head Nurse and behaviour therapist Kerry also offers 1-to-1 consultations for desensitisation and coping strategies.

🐾 Remember: the goal isn't just to stop your dog reacting — it's to help them genuinely feel safer.

📞 Contact our team on 01642 431940 to prepare before firework season gets into full swing! 💚

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
