We are participating in Pet Diabetes Month this November and encouraging pet owners to collect a urine sample from their pet. Pop into your local branch and pick up a Pet Diabetes leaflet which contains a free urine test stick to check for the presence of glucose in your pet's urine. You should contact us if the test is positive. Make sure the container you use is spotlessly clean as any traces of the previous contents can interfere with the result. For further diabetes information please contact us.

We would like to introduce Solo who we first saw at our Kingsnorth branch as an emergency out of hours, after being attacked by a couple of dogs whilst out for a walk. Solo was in shock, with multiple large, deep vertical wounds to her chest, exposing her tissue and ribs below.

Walk your dogs in the morning or the evening-before 8am and after 5pm is best. Not only will this prevent them overheating in the midday sun, but hot road surfaces, pavements and sand can burn paws.
