Winter Worries!

The cold winter months bring particular challenges for our pets, and as their owners, we need to be aware of the problems that they can suffer at this time of year. Our Winter Worries blog takes a look at some of the commonest winter hazards.

Festive alert!

Pieces of string, tinsel and bones from your festive feast should be kept well out of reach to avoid an intestinal blockage. Baubles and lights, if broken and played with or eaten, could cause serious injury to your pet. We will be running an emergency service over the festive period, but we hope that our Winter Worries Blog will help alert you to the potential hazards in your home.
