You pop out for five minutes, and when you come back, you are greeted like you have returned from a long expedition.

Does your dog give you the dramatic welcome-home greeting too? 🐶

When was the last time you gave your pet a gentle check for lumps and bumps?

Regularly handling your pet is a simple way to become familiar with their body and spot changes more easily.

Keep an eye out for:

🐾 New lumps or bumps

🐾 Swelling around the mammary area

🐾 Changes to the skin

🐾 Tenderness or discomfort when touched

Not every lump is something serious, but any new or changing lump should be checked by our vet team.

A few minutes of attention could make an important difference.

Prevention is one of the best ways to protect your pet. 🐶🐱

✔ Tailored vaccinations

✔ Individualised parasite protection plans

✔ Assessing if neutering is the right option for your pet

Every pet is different, so personalised advice is always best. Book a check-up with us to create a preventative care plan that suits your pet and your family. ❤️

Toxoplasmosis is often mentioned in relation to cats, but it is important to know that your cat is not automatically a risk.

Cats only shed toxoplasma eggs for a short period after becoming infected, and many indoor cats who do not hunt or eat raw meat are at very low risk of infection.

There is no need to panic, avoid your cat, or consider rehoming them.

With a few simple precautions, you can continue to care for your cat safely:

🐾 Keep your cat indoors where possible

🐾 Avoid feeding them with raw meat

🐾 Clean litter trays daily

🐾 Wear gloves when cleaning litter trays if you are pregnant or if your health is debilitated

🐾 Wash your hands after cleaning litter trays or handling your cat’s food

As vets, we know how worrying health advice can feel when it involves a much-loved pet. If you have concerns about your cat, their lifestyle, or their risk of getting toxoplasmosis, please speak to our team.

Crunchy leaves, interesting smells make autumn walks full of exciting discoveries for dogs!

Unfortunately, conkers are one discovery we’d rather they left on the ground.

As well as containing a toxin (aesculin), conkers are large and hard enough to cause a gastrointestinal blockage if swallowed.

If your dog loves carrying things on walks, try swapping conkers for something safer:

🥎 Bring their favourite ball or toy

🦴 Reward them for leaving things on the ground

🐕 Keep them closer to you in areas with lots of horse chestnut trees

👀 Pay extra attention when conkers are scattered along the path

A little prevention can help keep your autumn adventures fun rather than ending with an unexpected trip to the vet.
