An incredible reunion story! 🐱🐾

Bonnie was found in Hull by a team of bin lorry workers who brought her into us. After doing an intial examination and providing first aid, Bonnie was scanned for a microchip and we contacted her owners. Bonnie's owners were delighted to recieve the call but also very shocked as she had been missing for 4 years, from Gilberdyke!

Bonnie spent the day with us on IV fluids to help with dehydration, had a much needed sponge bath and wound treatment. She is such an incredibly sweet girl, purring and chatting to us all day to tell us about her very long adventure. We are over the moon that she has been reunited with her owners! 🥰

This shows the importance of microchipping your pets, which is a legal requirement in both dogs and cats. It is also very important to keep their microchip details up to date such as if you move house, change your telephone number, or adopt a dog/cat - please check their details are now in your name. If you are unsure about your pets microchip details or do not know their chip number, please give us a call and we are happy to help you with this.

Welcome home Bonnie! ❤️🐾

We are also appealing to any rescues that would be willing to take him in if we do not find an owner.

Today is , please follow the link the below for an educational read on why spaying your female cat is so important 🐈

Although still young and finding out about the world themselves, kittens reach feline puberty from around 16 weeks, meaning females are at risk of becoming pregnant from unneutered adolescent or adult males, including ones they are related to. 🙀

This , we’re encouraging owners and caregivers to plan ahead - talk with your vet about neutering your kitten when they are approaching four months of age. Our quick read explains more 👉 https://icatcare.org/articles/why-do-i-need-to-neuter-my-cat

12 week old, Red Labrador, Marlow was in for his first visit with us recently for his second vaccination! He was such a brave boy and enjoyed having lots of fuss from the reception and nursing team 🥰

Do you know what we vaccinate dogs against?!
🐶 Distemper - canine distemper is a virus which affects the respiratory and nervous system
🐶 Hepatitis - infectious canine hepatitis is a disease which affects the liver, kidneys, eyes and lungs
🐶 Parvovirus - is a highly contagious disease which causes severe vomiting and haemorrhagic diarrhoea. It is most common in young, unvaccinated puppies
🐶 Leptospirosis - Lepto is caused by bacteria and is spread via infected urine and contaminated water

Puppy courses start from 8 weeks old. They will receive a full nose to tail health check, and our vets will be happy to answer any of your questions! We will also be introducing puppy clinics soon, with one of our RVN's, if this is something you would be interested in please don't hesitate to contact us!

Marlow joined our health care plan which includes all his puppy vaccines, booster vaccines and year round flea and worming treatment! There are many other additional benefits to the care plan which help to spread the cost of preventative health care 😊
