🦷📸 Vet Nurse Level Up: DENTAL X-RAY EDITION! 🎮🐾

Our amazing vet nurse has been putting in the hard yards and training to take dental X-rays — because apparently “just look at the teeth” isn’t quite enough! 😂

There’s a whole lot more to dental X-rays than pressing a button. It takes training, patience, positioning skills and a very cooperative patient… 😹🐶

📚 Learn the technique
🦷 Find the perfect angle
📸 Capture the shot
✨ Reveal what’s hiding beneath the gums!

Meanwhile, our furry patients are thinking:

“Excuse me… I did NOT consent to this photoshoot.” 😂

We’re pretty proud of our team for continuing to learn new skills and providing the best care possible for our four-legged patients. 💕🐾

🚽🐱 When your cat’s toilet habits start telling you something… it’s time to listen!

Cats are experts at hiding when something isn’t quite right — especially when it comes to urinary health. 👀

Keep an eye out for:
💧 More frequent trips to the litter tray
🚽 Straining or spending longer in the tray
😿 Crying or seeming uncomfortable when urinating
💦 Urinating outside the litter box
👃 Blood or changes in urine

Good hydration, a suitable diet and regular veterinary care can all play an important role in supporting urinary health. 💙

🐾 Royal Canin Urinary diets are specially formulated for cats with specific urinary-health needs and may be recommended by your veterinary team as part of their overall care plan.

And remember: a cat who keeps visiting the litter box but produces little or no urine needs urgent veterinary attention. 🚨

Because when it comes to cats, sometimes “I’m fine” actually means “Please check my litter tray.” 😹

📩 Talk to our team about your cat’s urinary health and whether a Royal Canin urinary diet could be suitable.

🦷🐶🐱 Say ahhh… no, wider!

Your pet might have killer breath, but that doesn’t mean it’s their signature scent. 😂

Just like us, dogs and cats can get plaque, tartar and gum disease — and they’re not exactly great at booking their own dental check-up. 🪥🐾

🚩 Stinky breath?
🚩 Yellow/brown teeth?
🚩 Red or bleeding gums?
🚩 Chewing on one side?

These could be signs that your pet’s pearly whites need some attention.

✨ Healthy mouth = happier pet! ✨

So give those chompers some love — because nobody wants their morning cuddle to come with a side of dragon breath. 🐉💨

📅 Book your pet’s dental check-up and let’s get those smiles sparkling & take advantage of the 10% off promo!

Mental health matters. For our team. For our clients.

Veterinary care can come with emotional and challenging moments. Our teams support pets and their families through life’s highs and lows, and we know it can be an emotional experience for clients too.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re recognising the importance of looking after the people behind the pets.

It’s okay to have difficult days, ask for support and take a moment to look after yourself. 🐾

💙🐾 HAPPY VETERINARY NURSE DAY!🐾💙

Today we’re celebrating the incredible veterinary nurses who are the heart of our clinic.

Being a vet nurse takes compassion, patience, resilience and an enormous amount of heart. ❤️

To all our wonderful veterinary nurses, thank you for the care, dedication and love you give to every patient, every day. We couldn’t do it without you! 🐶🐱🐾
