🎆 🐾 Bonfire Night is coming… how will your pet cope?

Fireworks can be stressful for dogs, cats and small pets, and with Bonfire Night getting closer, now is the time to start preparing.

💭 Ask yourself… how did your pet cope with fireworks last time?

Did they hide, tremble, pace, pant or struggle to settle? Perhaps they became unusually clingy or went off their food? Signs of firework anxiety aren't always obvious, so it's important to recognise when your pet might be feeling worried.

🏡 Start preparing a safe space now. Somewhere calm, comfortable and familiar that your pet can retreat to when things get noisy. Getting this ready ahead of time can help them feel more secure.

🐾 If your pet struggled with fireworks last year, don't wait until the first bang. Speak to your local Goddard Vet Group practice in advance. Our veterinary teams can discuss your pet's individual needs and help you plan ahead.

💙 A little preparation now can make a big difference when Bonfire Night arrives.

A happy update on the handsome Quintin! 🐾💙

You may remember Quintin from his surgery in December following an intestinal obstruction. We're delighted to say he made a fantastic recovery and came back to see us today for his neutering procedure.

Seeing our patients return happy, healthy, and thriving is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. It's safe to say Quintin put a smile on everyone's face! 😊❤️

Bramble came to see us after her owner noticed a wound on her tail 🐾💕

On examination, we found it was actually a cyst that had burst. With a course of antibiotics, she should be feeling much better very soon.

It's a great reminder to regularly check your pet for any new or changing lumps. While many lumps are harmless, such as cysts, fatty lumps and warts, it's always best to have them examined by a vet so you know exactly what you're dealing with. 💙

Poor Migel came to see us after limping and licking at one of his back paws 🐾🌾

After a closer look under sedation, the culprit was found—a pesky grass awn between his toes. It was removed, the area was flushed, and Migel should be feeling much more comfortable soon.

Grass awns are common at this time of year and can easily burrow into paws, ears, noses and eyes, so always check your dog after walks. 💙

Meet lovely Nellie on her very first visit with us 🐶💖

Just look how relaxed she is in her doggy carrier! It's a great way to keep young puppies safe and comfortable while they're out and about before they've completed their vaccination course.

Nellie was an absolute superstar and we can't wait to watch her grow! 🐾✨

Grass seeds may look harmless, but their barbed shape means they can travel in one direction only - into your dog’s skin, ears, eyes, paws or nose. Take a minute after every walk to check your dog over, especially during the summer months ☀️

If you notice excessive licking, head shaking, sneezing or a painful eye, contact your vet promptly 📞

☀️🐶 Heatwave incoming! Before walking your dog this weekend, try the five-second pavement test 🖐️

If you can comfortably hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds 👍, it should be safe for your dog’s paws. If not, it’s too hot! 🔥🐾

Remember to walk early morning or later in the evening, bring water, and keep your pets cool 💙
