We had the most extraordinary case a few weeks ago. Who would have thought a grass seed could end up in a dog’s spine? That’s exactly what happened! Fortunately, Alfie is now fully recovered and most deserving of a Big Bear Award.

This is a really common disease in older cats that can develop. Luckily there is a lot we can do to help manage this disease.
Chronic renal failure can develop in 33% of cats that are over 8 years old. The kidneys start "shutting down" and are less able to effectively filter the blood. This reduced ability to filter the blood means that toxins can build up in the blood stream and make your cat feel very unwell.
Play is very important to build a bond and trust between you and your new puppy. However, it is important to set boundaries for playing. Dogs that have played with humans can be much more fun to have around and can be more sociable than those who have only learnt to play with dogs.
The suitable feed for guinea pigs are complete feeds, especially for guinea pigs based on seeds and grains. They should have Timothy or grass hay that should be available for them at all times because the fibre content is crucial for dental wear and gastrointestinal tract function. Guinea pigs need to be supplied with Vitamin C in their diet. Non-breeding guinea pigs need 10mg/kg of vitamin C a day and breeding guinea pigs and/or ill guinea pigs need 35-50mg/kg per day.

A question we commonly hear is, "My dog has dry itchy skin. He occasionally gets rashes, bumps or hot spots. What can I do?"
Some pet owners ask us whether their (male) cat has to be castrated - after all, there isn't the risk of pregnancy and kittens with a male cat.
What can I do if I find a baby bird?
It’s “orphan season” for wildlife from the end of March and usually at this time of year we receive many phone calls about what people should do if they find baby birds, foxes and squirrels, etc.
We hear a lot about the importance of socialising puppies when they are young but did you know that it is just as important to socialise kittens too?!
