Autumn Awareness

Late summer and autumn can bring an increase in wasp stings. Wasps can become more aggressive at this time of year. If your kitten likes to swat flies or your playful pup is out and about, take care if you see wasps low flying near your pet, they can cause some serious discomfort and swelling if they catch up with your pet. 

If you notice a swelling, particularly on your pets face or neck please seek urgent medical attention for your pet. 

Mites, ticks and fleas,

With colder weather just around the corner now is NOT the time to stop your pets parasite protection - Fleas love central heating just as much as your cat loves that cosy hot spot next to your radiator. Fleas are still active and, as the heating goes on, our warm homes provide the perfect environment for them to thrive - meaning it is essential to keep up with your pets parasite protection!

Is it just old age ........ 

As our pets get older, it can be easy to put changes in their behaviour, mobility or general wellbeing down to simply “getting old”. But old age itself isn’t a disease, and many changes in our golden oldies can be signs of an underlying condition that may benefit from treatment or support.

One of the most common conditions affecting senior pets is arthritis. While arthritis is progressive, there are lots of ways we can help keep your pet comfortable, mobile and enjoying life throughout their senior years.

🍂 Read our Autumn Pet News today and let’s work together to help keep your senior pet happy and comfortable during their golden years.
