How big is too big - and is my pet in pain?
Many of the pets we see in our practice could be classed as overweight.
This does have an adverse affect on their quality of life and can increase the risk or worsen other diseases.
The most common cause is eating too much food, lack of exercise contributes as well.
An easy way to check if your pet's weight is ok is to make sure you can easily feel the ribs and that they have a waistline.
'Alabama Rot' ; What we know and what we don't know!
There have been reports in the media about 'Alabama Rot' and many people are now very worried about this disease.
The disease causes skin lesions in the form of ulcers mainly on the feet, the face or the abdomen and is also associated with acute damage to the kidneys.
If you find ulcers or other skin lesions and your dog also seems lethargic, is not eating or is vomiting then it might be best for us to check him or her over.
Just ring us for an appointment.
Summer is coming, Top tips to keep your pets cool and healthy
Pets need protection from heat, too much sun and parasites like ticks and fleas!
On very hot days, try not to take dogs out in the heat of the day for long periods.
Check the pavement with your hands, if it is too hot for your hands then it is too hot for a dog or cat to walk on!
Do not leave them in a car unattended and make sure they have plenty of water and can hide in the shade out of direct sunlight if they are kept outdoors.
Microchipping
THE LAW HAS CHANGED
From the 6th April 2016 it will be a legal requirement to have your dog micro-chipped with current details linked to the chip.
We can check your dog's microchip and check the details, and if your dog is not chipped we can do that for you
Micro-chipping is an effective way to be reunited with your dog if you become separated.
