Rosie came to us today for a couple of procedures. One of which was for her teeth to be scaled and polished. Here are her before and after photos! Dental hygiene in your pets is so important as poor gums/teeth can cause all sorts of problems. So please, if you think your pet has bad breath or is suffering then get them in to be seen and it might even be something as little as a scale and polish to help prevent any more plaque build up!

The details and dates of the XL Bully ban in England and Wales have been announced.
Here is what you need to know;
From 31st December 2023, it will be against the law to sell, abandon, giveaway, or breed from an XL Bully
Owners of XL Bullies will be required to register them for a 'Certificate of Exemption' and have them neutered, microchipped, and only walk them in public places if they are on a lead and muzzled
Dogs who are less than a year old on 31st January 2024 need to be neutered by 31st December 2024.
Dogs who are over a year old on 31st January 2024 need to be neutered by 30th June 2024.
You must also take out Third Party Insurance against your dog attacking other people. This is provided via Dogs Trust membership and costs £25 a year
The exemption certificates will need to be signed by your vet to confirm that neutering has taken place.
This needs to be done by 31st January 2024 and will cost £92.40. Details on how to apply for and complete the forms have not yet been released.
If you choose to euthanise your XL Bully rather than comply with these regulations, there is a fund of £200 per dog to cover the costs. Both the owner and the vet will need to complete an application for this. Again, the exact details of how we do this haven't been released.
A definition of how to identify an XL Bully dog has also been released. This is somewhat vague because these dogs aren't a breed but considered a type. They will not have to fulfil all the criteria to be defined as an XL. If there is any question as to whether a dog is an XL Bully, the current advice is to assume it is and adhere to the regulations.
Again, we haven't been given information on what to do if there is confusion over whether a dog is an XL Bully but it is likely you will need to contact your local officer though your local police force.
It is likely that many insurance companies will no longer cover XL Bullies as they are a banned breed. Here is a useful link;

Everyone! Meet Alfie! Alfie came in today for his vaccination and although he doesn't like people he doesn't know he was an absolute gentleman and was very brave. He didn't even cry! So afterwards our student vet nurse gave him a treat and he was ever so gentle. Well done Alfie!
