Winter Newsletter 2013

With dark nights and colder temperatures it makes getting out for the evening walk with the dog that much harder especially with the cat lazing by the fire after a hard day of sleeping in different locations throughout the house.

To make it easier for you we are now offering dog grooming so at least you don’t have to wash the mud off your pooch.

We will be offering:

  • Washing and drying
  • Clipping
  • Nail clipping
  • Anal gland expressing
  • Teeth cleaning etc.

So pop in our give us a call for enquires.

Also at any time that you are passing the clinic with your pooch, come in for a pat and a treat for them to make it a more enjoyable experience for when they come in for a vet visit.

Raw vs. Cooked food for pets

Dogs and cats living in the wild on a natural diet live on average 4–5 years from birth.

So over many years scientists have tweaked kibbled diets to be nutritionally balanced and complete which is why now we often have cats and dogs living for 18 years and longer! Whereas 20 years ago a cat living to 12 was the upper limit of what you would expect. Which reflects how far these diets have advanced.

With raw diets one must be very careful as when dealing with any uncooked meats contamination with such things asSalmonella can affect your pet as well as you.The bacteria of which can survive for weeks outside a living body, and they are not destroyed by freezing. Also when meat eaters in the wild catch their prey they eat the skin, intestines and the contents of the stomach(which is generally fibroussuch as grass). The meat and bones are buried by dogs and left to decompose for a few weeks.

At the end of the day you want a diet that is nutritionally balanced, tasty and safe for your furry friends.

We are now expanding the Royal Canin Range due to an increase in requests. If we don’t have your preferred product in stock we can order it in for you in about 2 working days without a problem so let us know what your preferences are!
