Star Pets..... Minnie!

This month's star pet is Minnie, a 9 month old, female, black, domestic shorthaired cat who had sustained a fracture to her left hind leg. Minnie is a nervous little creature and is much loved by her owner who brought her into the practice as she had suddenly become lame on her left hind leg and she appeared to be in a lot of pain. Minnie doesn't particularly like having her photo taken!

News article - Keep your pet safe and happy this winter

It's that time of year; the temperature has fallen, along with the leaves, and colder weather is very much with us. Luckily, we can wrap up warm, but it's not so easy for our pets.

Did you know that winter can be particularly tough on cats and dogs? Cold and icy weather can not only be hazardous, it can also make conditions such as arthritis much worse.

With these simple ideas, we hope we can help you make sure your pet is happy and comfortable this winter!
