☀️It’s set to be a scorcher this weekend, so we thought we’d share a few tips for keeping your pets cool☀️

🦮 Avoid walking your dog during the day. If they really have to go out make sure it’s early morning or late evening.
💦 Keep lots of fresh water available
⛲️ Paddling pools work well if your dog enjoys water, cool mats are an option for those that don’t
🐈 Keep cats indoors where possible (make sure it doesn’t cause them stress and always have 2 litter trays per cat available for them to use whilst inside)
🧊Freeze some treats or toys, use puzzle feeders to keep them occupied
🪭Set up a fan/ shaded area inside where they can rest. Open windows to keep the air moving through.

‼️flat-faced breeds, puppies and elderly pets are much more sensitive to heat. If you have any worries about your pet always call your vet‼️

We are making changes to our medication posting times: All repeat medications will be posted once weekly by 24hr tracked every Wednesday. You can still place orders with us at any time, but they will now be sent out on Wednesdays. Keep reading if you’d like a little update from us!

Our week away has given us time to think about the future of Iris Vets.
We are becoming very busy, which we feel so grateful about and appreciate each and every one of our clients.
But it has put pressure on us to try and streamline things (especially our admin which takes hours out of each day).
We don’t have any intention of growing Iris Vets into a big business.
We want to continue to provide a personable service to our local community, and as most of you know, I am a vet, not a business person! I want to keep it that way.

That being said, we have decided to trial a new system for our medications being posted, so they will be sent out once a week rather than everyday. This lets us spend less time at the post office and leaves more time available to offer appointments.
It is just a trial and if it doesn’t work we will think of something else!
We thank you all for your continued support and hope you have a lovely bank holiday!

☀️We are taking a short break from 24th April -1st May☀️
The work phone will be monitored for enquiries by us whilst we’re away. Calder Vets Dewsbury will be covering any urgent appointments for us.
We are aware we have a couple of second vaccine appointments during this time which will be covered by our nurse, Megan.
Please make sure to order repeat medications by 21st April so we can post them out for you in time. Thank you!

Friday morning started with a visit to see the most handsome boy, Jack. He literally started purring when we took the camera out 📸
He’s definitely destined for life as a model ✨

🔬Ever wondered what happens to samples after they have been collected? Here’s a quick video to explain🔬
Cytology is super useful! We can use it to help diagnose problems with skin, ears, urine and to help identify lumps.

What better way to start the day than playing with the beautiful Pysia! She was very brave for her 1st vaccines 🥰

Thank you for all of the lovely Christmas messages. We hope you had a brilliant New Year! We are back open as usual today.

Aoife was our first appointment of 2026 and had her first vaccines today, she was a little trooper! (No points awarded for guessing which pooch she is in the photo). What a cute little bundle of floof!
