Big tongues up from Lily 👅🐾💛
Lily has recently made the switch to the adult small breed range from Calibra — and it’s safe to say she’s a fan!

We stock Calibra in both of our practices, so call in and chat to the team about finding the right food for your pet 🐶

🐾💙 MAY – Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month 💙🐾

We’re shining a light on the incredible work veterinary nurses do every single day, especially the work that often goes unseen. From anaesthetic monitoring and radiology, to nursing clinics, blood sampling, patient care, and supporting pets through recovery, veterinary nurses are at the heart of animal care. 🩺🐶🐱

They comfort nervous patients, support worried owners, keep clinics running smoothly, and somehow manage to do it all at once. 😅

Their compassion, skill, and dedication make a difference to every pet that walks through the door, even when much of their work happens behind the scenes.

Celebrating all veterinary nurses this month, especially Emma, Charlotte, Veronica, and Florence 💙🐾

Enjoying the sunshine? ☀️
It might not be as enjoyable for every member of the family 🐶💛

Heat stroke can happen very quickly in dogs, even on days that don’t seem extremely hot.

If your dog is showing signs of heat stroke, contact us immediately.

THE post-op mistake no one warns you about😯
Surgery goes well.
The incision looks good.
Your pet seems “back to normal.”
That’s where things go wrong.
The biggest post-op issue we see isn’t infection — it’s too much activity, too soon. Pain meds mask discomfort, so pets feel better before they are better.
Jumping, twisting, launching off furniture can lead to:
• Wound breakdown
• Inflammation
• Delayed healing
• Painful scarring later on
Healing isn’t just skin-deep — it takes time.
If recovery feels boring, you’re doing it right.

⚠️🐾 Common Foods That Are Toxic to Dogs

Some everyday foods can be harmful, or even life-threatening for your dog. Here are a few to watch out for:

🍫 Chocolate
🍇 Grapes & raisins
🧅 Onions & garlic
🍬 Xylitol (found in sugar-free gum & sweets)
🍷 Alcohol
☕ Caffeine

Even small amounts can cause serious illness, so it’s best to keep these well out of reach.

🚨 Signs of poisoning may include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, tremors, or seizures.

If you think your dog has eaten something they shouldn’t, contact us immediately—quick action is key.

📞 We’re here to help—call the clinic for advice or urgent care.
