Have you ever noticed that your dog is losing fur

Have you ever noticed that your dog is losing fur in specific places, like the trunk, back of rear limbs or tail? ðŸ˜¨
There are many health conditions that lead to hair loss in dogs, and one of them is hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a hormonal problem caused by a disorder in the thyroid gland.
Middle-aged dogs of medium and large breeds are more predisposed to this disease, but it can happen to dogs of any breed.
The hormones produced by the thyroid gland control many bodily functions. This means that when the thyroid stops producing them, there can be signs of hair loss, dry skin and coat, increased chance of skin infections, weight gain, lethargy, increased thirst and increased urination.
If untreated, hypothyroidism will lead to progressive worsening of these signs and can cause severe complications.
If you have any concerns, talk to us!

Our pets love us just as much as we love them ðŸ¥°

Our pets love us just as much as we love them ðŸ¥° And in the same way that we miss our furry friends after a long day away from work, our pets miss us too!
Unfortunately, this sometimes can become a behavioural issue called separation anxiety which might show up as:
ðŸ‘‰ Excessive vocalisation;
ðŸ‘‰ Destroying things around the house;
ðŸ‘‰ Depression or loss of house-training.
Separation anxiety commonly affects dogs but can also affect cats, birds and more exotic animals such as marmosets.
Do you have any useful tips that help to relieve your pet's anxiety? Let us know in the comments!

September is Urology Awareness Month, and weâ€™d like to talk a bit about a problem many cat owners struggle withðŸˆ Feline lower urinary tract disease or FLUTD.
FLUTD is not a single condition, itâ€™s actually a term to describe several types of problems that affect the bladder and urethra of our feline friends. These problems can range from a simple urinary infection to life-threatening problems (such as urethral obstructions) and can be recurrent.
Here are some ways to help:
ðŸ’§ Encourage your cats to drink more water
ðŸ¥Ž Increase their activity levels by playing with them
ðŸ Improve their home environment with toys and other fun things
If you notice your cat is having difficulties urinating, talk to us as soon as possible! ðŸ“²

Would you be surprised to learn that the RSPCA rec

Would you be surprised to learn that the RSPCA receive 10 calls every day about animals affected by litter? These figures don't include owned pets taken directly to vets by owners, so we bet these numbers are far higher!
Here are some of the worst culprits:
ðŸ‘‰ Plastic bags and rings for tin cans are a choking hazard and might cause wounds on limbs;
ðŸ‘‰ Cans and glass shards might cause devastating bleeding or long-term infections;
ðŸ‘‰ Discarded fishing lines can entangle animals, and the hooks get embedded in the mouth, throat or limbs.
Have you ever helped an animal caught up in litter?

Dogs also need to have their nails pampered from time to time! ðŸ’…
While walking, dogs tend to naturally wear their nails down, which can be enough to avoid the need to trim them, but many pets will still need to have their nails trimmed from time to time. Special attention must be given to the vestigial toes that do not touch the ground, as these nails grow unchecked.
If your dog does not wear their nails down naturally, they can curve into your dog's footpads as they grow, perforating the skin and leading to painful infections.
If you're struggling with your dog's nails, our nurses are here to help you âœ‚ï¸ ðŸ©º Schedule your nurse clinic appointment today!
