Darling little JAX visited us to have a dental procedure

His lovely Mum was extremely worried, and it was tough for her leaving him with us, which is totally understandable.

He did incredibly well, having over 20 teeth removed by Vet Amy, and he was wolfing wet food down pretty much as soon as he was awake 😋

It was an emotional scene when his Mum came to collect him, very touching to see them reunited 🥹

So we really do understand how hard it is leaving your beloved companion with us, and we honestly treat them as our own during their stay with us, because we take your trust in us very seriously 😊

Meet the wonderful ALFIE 🩵💙🩵

He visited us recently to be neutered, and was a gold star patient during his stay ⭐️

Also he was delighted to see us all again when he came back for his first post operative check, which is always a good sign 🥰

We promise we do get some work done 🤣

This little darling is GEORGE, and he popped in to be weighed, and had lots of fun with the team, and it’s safe to say the team had masses of fun with him too 😊

Here we have the very beautiful and appropriately named FLUFF 🩶🤍

She was spayed with us recently and naturally Nurse Leanne, (our resident cat whisperer 😃) enjoyed some cuddles with her, whilst caring for her during her stay with us 😊

PS: we have plenty of “cat whisperers” here at the practice, who dote on our feline friends 😉

‼️ Please ALWAYS keep your pet’s microchip details up to date ‼️

We’ve lost count of the times we had an animal brought into us and the chip details are out of date.

June is National Microchipping Month and a perfect reminder to check that your dog’s microchip details are up to date.

Microchipping is one of the easiest ways to help reunite lost dogs with their owners, giving pets the best chance of getting home safely if they ever go missing.

With Petlog, millions of pets across the country are registered and protected.

Remember, dogs must legally be microchipped by eight weeks old - and keeping your contact details updated is just as important if anything changes.

Find out more about microchipping and keeping your dog safe on the Petlog website: https://www.petlog.org.uk/

When it comes to feeding an arthritic dog, the joint supplement market can feel like a total minefield 🤯

To help you protect both your budget and your dog's joint comfort, we have broken down The Core 4 of Nutrition - the four foundational principles every caregiver needs to know to cut through the noise in less than two minutes:

🍏 1. Whole-body health over quick fixes
There is no single "magic pill" that will fix arthritis. True joint support comes from a long-term focus on overall nutrition, reducing systemic inflammation, and keeping the body in optimal condition rather than relying on a flashy bottle of capsules.

💊 2. Supplements are "add-ons," not the whole plan
Supplements are designed to supplement a robust, multimodal management plan. They can be fantastic secondary tools, but they should never replace targeted, veterinary-prescribed pain relief when a dog is hurting.

💰 3. Manage your care budget wisely
The cost-of-living crisis is real, and caring for a dog with chronic pain can become expensive. Prioritise spending your money on treatments and food with robust, independent scientific evidence rather than blowing your budget on unproven social media trends.

🚩 4. Spot illegal marketing red flags
By law, over-the-counter supplements cannot claim to "cure," "treat," or "relieve pain." If a brand uses these medicinal words on their packaging, it's an immediate red flag that they are circumventing trading regulations - and it's a cue to protect your wallet.

⚖️ The ultimate joint health tool in your cupboard?
If you want to make the single biggest clinical impact on your dog’s mobility today, you don't need a new supplement, you just need a set of weighing scales!

Adipose tissue (fat) actively secretes pro-inflammatory chemicals into the bloodstream, making joint pain worse. Regularly tracking your dog's weight and keeping them at a lean, ideal body condition is the most powerful, evidence-based nutritional intervention available.
