Pets are much more than just adorable companions; they play a vital role in supporting our mental and emotional well-being.

Pets, especially dogs and cats, communicate a lot through their body language. As a pet owner, learning to interpret these subtle cues can help build a stronger bond with your furry companion.

Regular vet visits are a cornerstone of responsible pet ownership. They help ensure that your pet remains healthy, happy, and comfortable throughout their life.

Pet obesity has been on the rise for over a decade, and in the UK, it has now reached epidemic proportions. As veterinarians, we urge pet owners to take excessive weight gain and obesity in pets seriously. This growing issue is not just cosmetic – it’s a critical welfare concern.

A cat friendly clinic is a vet practice that has met certain standards set by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) to ensure that each cat has a better experience at the vet. We have recently achieved silver status due to the extra measures we have put in place for our feline patients.

Animals experience pain in much the same way as humans do, although some people argue that pain may be more distressing for animals as they “live in the moment” and don’t know that the pain can be treated and will eventually go away. Recognising early signs of pain in your pet is important so that you can address the causes and get the appropriate treatment for them.
