We all love the warmer weather and summer is a great time to be outside with your pets. Here’s a couple of seasonal tips to keep them fit and healthy:
Pets with white noses and ear tips – particularly cats, are at risk of these areas getting sunburn and this can lead to cancerous changes. High factor pet safe sun cream applied to these areas can reduce this risk .
Summer is prime time for fleas. They can multiply quickly, particularly in multi pet house holds. It’s important to ensure you are using adequate flea and tick protection. Check your pet at least once a day, ticks can be removed with a special tick hook tool, available at all our surgeries.
There are lots of companies offering pet insurance and we understand that picking one can be a bit mind boggling. Vet bills are often unexpected and can mount up quickly, our Summer News gives some helpful advice on what to look out for when choosing your pets policy.
We hope our Summer News helps keep your pet fit & healthy this summer 2018, if you have any questions on the advice included don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team.
