Autumn is upon us and the weather is cooler and wetter! Like most of us, we guess you have muddy paw prints coming into the house!
Did you know that September -December is the worst time of the year for fleas? They feed on your pets (yes, they eat blood), mate, and then the female lays hundreds of eggs. The eggs hatch, larvae emerge, they grub about in the carpets, eventually pupate, then we get a mass emergence of adult fleas right about now. If this happens to you remember that it is important to treat the house e.g. with our Indorex Spray, but regular preventive treatments for your pets is essential. See more about fleas here.
Later next year it becomes compulsory for cats to to be microchipped (already the case for dogs). We offer high quality microchips for £15 – please contact us to arrange an appointment with the nurse to have a chip fitted. It also means if your pet goes missing and is found, you can quickly be reunited.
Did you know we have a Pet Care Plan for Dogs, Cats, Puppies, Kittens and Rabbits, with monthly instalments for all preventive health needs for all pets, and a set of discounts on services and products. Please enquire.

For the optimal health of your pet we stock Virbac Veterinary HPM Diets. In our opinion this food is better than any other pet food: Nutritionally better, superiorly manufactured and excellent value for money. What you feed your pet is the most important thing that contributes to their health, beyond lifestyle and preventative medicine.You probably take a lot of care with what you eat – why not give the same consideration to your pets?
We have 10% discount on the HPM Range for all pets signed up on our Health Plan.
We also stock the HPM range of prescription diets – carefully formulated to support specific conditions in dogs and cats – including allergies, kidney disease, urinary tract problems, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, pancreatitis, obesity, skin conditions, heart disease and animals recovering from surgery.
An holistic approach to dealing with any illness is important, and central to this is appropriate nutrition. Please contact us for more information on HPM food, or need any other advice on nutrition.
