Is there medicare for pets?

Clients often state to use that they wish there was medicare for dogs. While it is true there is no medicare available, there is medical insurance available for your pets.

Pet obesity is on the rise and it is estimated that as many as one in three pets are overweight.

Obesity increases the number of health risks to your pet, which includes heart and respiratory problems, arthritis and diabetes – just to name a few.

Like humans, most obesity in pets is caused simply by eating more calories than they need. This means either too much food or minimal exercise or a combination of both.

What is a phobia?

A phobia occurs when a dog develops an extreme fear response to a normal stimulus (such as a thunderstorm or fireworks). A phobia can develop at any age and tends to get worse with time. Some breeds are more likely to develop phobias. The most common breed we see with any phobia or other anxiety problem is the Staffordshire bull terrier. Many dogs with thunderstorm and/or fireworks phobia also have other anxiety problems such as seperation anxiety.

Thomas is our hospital cat. He came to us injured and in need of a good home. He managed to work his way under our skin (sometimes literally!) and has been here ever since.

Cat and small dog boarding

We have a dedicated cat boarding facility which is sufficient to house up to 25 cats. All cats in the boarding facility must be fully vaccinated prior to entry to the cattery. Bookings for holiday periods need to be made well in advance.
