Podgy Pet Clinic
Did you know that obesity is the most common form of malnutrition in pets in the
UK? Overweight pets are not only unfit, but can struggle to exercise properly,
and are much more likely to suffer from heart conditions, arthritis, breathing
difficulties and even some skin diseases.
All overweight pets are invited to book in for our new pet slimming course. This
includes FREE consultations with our qualified dietary advisors, with advice on
both feeding and exercise.
All new pet slimmers will receive 25% off their first bag of Hills prescription
reducing diet, with a discount voucher for their next purchase, and a free
weight management pack.
Seasonal News
Rabbit Owners !
Rabbit owners - protect your rabbit against Myxomatosis: vaccinations should be given over the spring and summer months to provide protection against this fatal virus. Don't forget to protect your rabbits against flystrike when the weather is warmer - maggots can grow in the rabbit's skin and can cause toxicity and ultimately death if left untreated. We recommend regular hygiene checks, and the use of Rearguard, a foam spray which protects your rabbit for up to 3 months.
Kennel Cough
Kennel cough vaccinations - don't forget that most kennels require that your dog (and sometimes your cat) will have a kennel cough vaccination before they will admit them. If you are planning to take your dog to a kennel this summer, we can now offer the new Intervet kennel cough vaccination, which should be given at least 2 weeks before going into the kennels, but now provides a full year's protection.
